Makeup products I love (as an esthetician who loves to save), affordable and splurging💕🎀💜

When it comes to makeup, we often think that expensive products always give the best results. However, with a little research and experimentation, many low-budget makeup products can actually give amazing results, even on par with high-end products. In this list, I'll share some of my favorite affordable yet quality makeup.

Everything I use on a daily basis for skincare, haircare, make-up, dental care. I have oily, acne prone skin, topped with a hint of melasma from my pregnancies, so if they are in these lists they are my ride or die's.

This is what I am currently using/what is in my make up bag as we travel into 2026! Some of these products I have been using for nearly 10 years and others are products I have recently started loving! I am really fussy about what I put on my face as I have oily/combination skin and tend to break out easily so these are the products I have found work best for me!

Obsessed is an understatement these lipsticks are my entire personality right now. From soft nudes to bold reds. They are givibg main character energy every time!
