Lipstick is my daily makeup must-have! I love finding affordable shades that look gorgeous and feel great on the lips.
It’s so affordable, but the packaging feels surprisingly luxe. The formula is comfortable and doesn’t dry out my lips.
It’s not transfer-proof, but for the price, it’s surprisingly comfortable to wear. The creamy matte formula feels almost like a high-end lipstick without the high-end price tag.
Passion Color Fetish Matte Lipstick - Milani | Ulta Beauty
Such a smooth, creamy lip pencil for the price. Easy to apply, easy to blend, and perfect for everyday nude lip combos.
So creamy and long lasting for me. It seems to have a nice satin finish as well.

Complexion
The base makes the look! Here are some affordable complexion favorites that blend beautifully and leave my skin looking fresh.
Love it!
Really pretty, natural finish and coverage. But maybe wouldn't recommend for dry skin though.
Vanilla Mini Radiant Creamy Concealer - NARS | Ulta Beauty
I really love this primer! It feels smooth, doesn’t dry out my skin, and never leaves my makeup looking patchy. Plus, it’s super affordable.
Power Grip Primer - e.l.f. Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
I kept seeing good reviews for this one, so I had to try it. And honestly, for the price, the finish is surprisingly beautiful! BTW, I even tried it all over my face and loved it.
Not a ton of reviews yet, but this skin tint has been getting some buzz. I tried it and love how lightweight and dewy it feels perfect for everyday wear.
A little eye makeup can make such a difference! Here are some affordable favorites for easy, everyday eye looks.
It's a great eyeliner!
So creamy and easy to apply! It glides on smoothly, has great color payoff, and makes creating a clean line so effortless.
Wired White Epic Inky Stix Mechanical Cream Gel Eyeliner - NYX Professional Makeup | Ulta Beauty
One of my favorite affordable eyeshadow palettes! Buttery, blendable, and so pretty. I love that these six shades can create both soft everyday looks and a more dramatic eye.
My 5+ year mascara love! I’ve tried others, but I always come back to this one. It’s waterproof, easy to remove, and makes my thin lashes look naturally fuller. Just 3 coats and I’m ready to go!
