Looking fabulous shouldn't require spending a small fortune. Many people can't afford the high-priced cosmetics that are out there, so finding great cheap makeup is key. Luckily, many brands offer affordable makeup products that deliver gorgeous results. And the best part? You can snag some of the best makeup products for less than $10. If you'd rather have them delivered to your door, check out these monthly grooming kit subscriptions.Â
Cosmetics mainstays like NYX and E.L.F. sell a ton of high-quality cosmetics for under $10. And they aren't the only affordable makeup brands out there – you'll also find good options from Rimmel London, L'Oreal Paris, Maybelline, and more.
From a tried-and-true favorite mascara to a fun, floral-infused lip gloss, these products will give you the most bang for your beauty buck.

Stipple your way into stunning with the Miracle Complexion Sponge by Real Techniques (around $8). When compared to the more expensive Beautyblender, the lower priced sponge did pretty much the same job, with some reviews saying it had one extra perk the Beautyblender doesn't: a flat bottom that keeps it from rolling off the counter.
E.L.F.'s pretty little highlighter delivers a subtle glow to your skin, and it only costs about $6. Thanks to vitamin E and hydrating natural oils, it's good for you, too.
Make dark circles a thing of the past with NYX's Professional Makeup Dark Circle Concealer. Created with orange pigments and coconut oil to deliver a dose of moisture, it offers full coverage at around $6.
A smooth face and less noticeable pores: isn't that what everyone wants? Maybelline Baby Skin Pore Eraser delivers, and cheaply too, at only a little over $5 a tube.
Makeup brushes can get outrageously pricey, and it's hard to find quality applicators for a low price. Luckily, Bestope's brushes are soft, shed-free, and reasonably priced at around $8. Even longtime makeup artists sing their praises.
