6 On-Trend Makeup Products Under $50

Makeup trends are constantly transforming – while this transformation is great for keeping your style refreshed and fun, it can be rather taxing on your wallet. Renewing your makeup bag is not cheap and keeping with the beauty trends can seem like hard work at times. Fear no longer since we’ve picked the best makeup products that you can buy without spending a fortune. These products are on-trend and affordable.

 

1. Stila Perfect Me, Perfect Hue Palette – $33.15 (was $39)

Stained lips, eyes and cheeks are among the hottest makeup trends of spring 2017. If you want to be clever with your shopping, you should pick a palette that covers all three spots. Stila’s Perfect Me, Perfect Hue palette is aimed at the eyes and cheeks, but you can easily use the palette on your lips as well. It’s available in three colours: fair/light, medium/tan, and tan/deep – oh and currently 15% using the link above. Score!

2. Tarte Tarteist Glossy Lip Paint – $20

Bright lips are another big trend of the day. You want to opt for glossy lips with a chic color, such as light rose or baby pink. Tarte is an awesome brand with plenty of options that also won’t cost a lot. The current favorite from the brand has to be Tarteist Glossy Lip Paint.

The lip-gloss comes in nine different shades to choose from and you can shop them at ulta.com. If you are looking for the on-trend color, you should definitely go with the WCW (berry) or Douple Tap (cool mauve). My personal favorite is “Hella (white nude)” pictured above – mhhmm.

3. KIKO Colour Correct Concealer Palette – $21 (+$5 off!)

Filtering is a big thing when it comes to taking the best selfies, but you don’t need your camera to color correct your photos! You can now color correct your makeup with the help of palettes that reduce the visibility of different skin issues from redness to dark circles.

Most brands now have their own versions of these color correcting makeup products, but KIKO Cosmetics palette offers perhaps the most value for money. KIKO is not as popular in the states as it is abroad, but my boyfriend’s sister is about as trendy as they come, and she introduced me to the brand about a year ago. The Color Correct Concealer Palette provides you lilac, green, beige, warm beige and highlighter to help correct imperfections. The product is super easy to use and at just $21, you really can’t beat the value.

Plus, shop directly on KIKO’s site and get $5 off your first order when you sign up for the newsletter. Score!

4. Light Cool Mineral Foundation from Neals Yard Remedies – $14 (was $28!)

Natural, eco-friendly beauty products are a big hit. These are perfect for ensuring your makeup doesn’t damage your skin or nature – you look good while preserving our precious planet. While eco-friendly makeup can sometimes be rather expensive, there are clever ways to save money.

If you are in need of a great foundation, check out the Light Cool Mineral Foundation from Neals Yard Remedies. The mineral foundation is cruelty-free product and suitable for vegans. It’s also great for covering your face with a milky-soft finish – it blends well with your skin tone and the nourishing oils keep your skin looking radiant throughout the day. Furthermore, if you shop for Neals Yard Remedies with voucher codes through our partner, you can save a lot of money on your shopping and often get free shipping!

5. L’Oréal Voluminous Million Lashes Mascara – $8.99

Do you want the easiest way to create a good look? My advice is to focus on your lashes – if you can create those full, fanned out lashes, you are sure to look chic and elegant at all times. With the help of the affordable Voluminous Million Lashes mascara (and it’s awesome lash-separating silicone brush), you can do it in an instant. The secret is the brush, which makes it easy to reach and separate each lash from the base, then coat it with the perfect amount of mascara. You can shop for L’Oreal almost anywhere, but the Voluminous Million Lashes Mascara is also $8.99 at Ulta.

6. Stila’s Stay All Day Liquid Liner – $22

Carbon Black is definitely the new black and it’s back when it comes to eyeliners. Black eyeliner, especially if you just line your upper lid to the perfect dainty cat eye, is currently the hottest trend worldwide. While eyeliner is always about a personal choice – some love liquids while others vouch for pencils – you should definitely try Stila’s Stay All Day Liquid Eyeliner. The pigmented liner is available in jet black and it helps create precise line with a single brush. It’s super easy to use, the product is affordable and long-lasting, and it’s pretty much the most raved-about liner of all time. The liner is $22 and lasts waaaay longer than it’s brow liner counterpart. One pen typically lasts me 4-6 months. She’s a keeper, I promise.

 

Takeaways: 6 Trendy Beauty Products Under $50

When it comes to shopping for makeup products, you always want to ensure you pick something on-trend, not terribly over-hyped (it’s gotta at least live up to the hyper, right?) and easy on the wallet. Online shopping is seriously convenient, especially as you can often find great discounts online.

Remember that if you find a great product and it’s on sale, you can often save a lot of money by buying it in bulk during sales, signing up for the newsletter (and getting an e-coupon, hey!), shopping through your credit card’s extra points portal (looking at you, Chase Sapphire!) or through coupon sites like our partner, Voucherbin! ?
