Instagram is full of influencers and creators trying viral high-end products that pop up on my feed religiously. But I’m a girl who loves her makeup flawless…on a budget. And even though my heart aches every time I see a Rare Beauty Blush or a Huda Beauty Eyeshadow palette, my brain knows better. So, after years of surviving on a college student’s budget, here is my list of some of the most affordable makeup products of 2024 that will give you a high-end finish.

1. Derma Co. 2% Niacinamide High Coverage Foundation
I have seen a lot of buildable foundations that have cracked or wiped off long before their promised time. But when I tell you that Derma Co’s Foundations have been game changers, you’ve got to believe me. For the price, these foundations have a flawless finish. A pea-sized amount is more than enough to get medium to full coverage, and it lasts the whole day!
2. Nourish Mantra Muted Magic Creamy Matte Liquid Lipstick
I absolutely hate matte lipsticks that suck the life out of my lips and make them dry as a desert. But I recently tried Nourish Mantra’s Creamy Matte Lipsticks, and I have to say, I’m a fan. They are comfortable on the lips, and the colours are to die for. And it is safe to say they are some of the best and most affordable lipsticks for any budget.
3. La Mior Celestial Dust Illuminating Blush
A blush can make or break a look, and I never skip going a little extra with a pop of colour. This stunning blush from La Mior is perfect for that rosy and dewy look. I have been gate-keeping this for too long, but I believe it deserves to be in every makeup lover’s vanity.
4. Renee See Me Shine Lip Gloss
If you’re a gloss girl who loves something with a bit of colour, shine and long-lasting stay, this lip gloss is just what you need. Renee’s See Me Shine Lip Gloss has a beautiful sheen and pigment that you can wear on top of your lipstick or just as it is. It is one of the best affordable makeup products of 2024 that you will keep restocking.

6. SOKU Lush Laminate Volume Mascara
I don’t know about you, but for years, I have been looking at Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara and tried finding something similar on a budget. In my search, I came across Soku’s Lush Laminate Volume Mascara, and it has been my most surprising and pleasant find of the year so far!
7. Swiss Beauty Ultimate Eyeshadow Palette
Finding a good quality eyeshadow palette with minimal product fallout, great pigmentation, and long-lasting stay is no joke. Getting my hand on this Swiss Beauty Ultimate Eyeshadow Palette that checks all the boxes while being extremely budget-friendly has been a dream come true.
8. Nykaa Cosmetics Matte to Last Loose Powder
Nykaa’s Loose Powder makes your pores and oily skin disappear like Anil Kapoor in Mr India. It is one of the best budget buys and can easily give competition to many high-end loose powders. So, if you’re an oily-skinned person, this is going to be your holy grail.
