There's nothing wrong with spending a pretty penny on prestige beauty. But if you're not willing to shell out big money on luxury products, you don't have to!
We found plenty of affordable makeup that won't break the bank—and you'll be shocked by how good they are for the price. In fact, all of these drugstore-priced picks are under $20, yet perform like they cost way more.
These affordable makeup finds include E!-reader favorites, like a cool-toned eyeshadow palette with buttery and blendable shadows that resemble what you'd find in Sephora, except it's only $13.
Some products are even editor-approved, like the $7 liquid liner that one E! writer called their "holy grail" or the blush from a TikTok-loved brand that an editor raved, "lasted all day."
Why pay more when drugstore makeup can work just as well (or better) than the high-end stuff? Shop these under-$20 makeup picks and save major coin.
Editor's Pick
Moira Cosmetics Precision Liquid Liner
As a liquid liner connoisseur, this is the blackest and juiciest one I've ever tried. The tip is ultra thin and perfect for crafting sharp, precise winged liner. Plus, it won't dry out like so many competitors.
Sacheu Beauty Lip Liner Stay-N Peel Off Lip Liner Tattoo
I've been using this TikTok-viral lip stain consistently ever since I got it and it's totally worth the hype.
Because it's a stain, the product boasts a barely-there feel, perfect for those who don't love a heavy product. And unlike lip pencils, this one fades away gradually without looking unnatural.
Sunnee BAEskin Baeside Sculpt
This self-tanning contour wand can be used on its own for a fresh, no-makeup look or layered with your favorite glam. Infused with revitalizing ingredients like blue-green algae, sea kelp, wakame, and moringa seed oil, it helps hydrate and replenish your skin while giving it a bronzey glow.
Moira Cosmetics Waterproof Peptide Eyeshadow Primer
If you're a fan of Urban Decay's eyeshadow primer potion, you'll love this affordable alternative. Apply this waterproof eyeshadow primer to prevent eyeshadow from smudging, creasing, and fading. This one also has vitamin C and peptides for a touch of brightening hydration.
Moira Cosmetics Silvermist Palette
Featuring a mix of highly pigmented ultra mattes and lustrous shimmers, this is the ultimate cool-toned palette.
For just $13, you'll get nine stunning shadows to create endless looks, from bold and smoky to natural and ethereal.
Sacheu Beauty Cheek Stay-n
These cheek stains have been a huge hit at the E! office ever since they dropped. Buildable and blendable, these stains provide a dewy flush that actually lasts. Choose from 6 shades.
