Top beauty products under $10.
Women can spend hours trying on makeup in stores, but spending hundreds of dollars on designer cosmetics simply isn’t an expense most of us can afford. But beauty doesn’t have to come at such a steep price. One of Yahoo’s very own makeup artists, Maria Ortega, says there are plenty of high-quality products you can get right at your local drugstore.
Top 5 drugstore swaps for designer cosmetics.
This moisturizer is the perfect base for your makeup and lasts all day. It keeps skin hydrated and allows makeup to remain intact for 24 hours. Something comparable at a department store will cost $40.
This foundation is a top choice because it glides on for a natural finish and stays put. I recommend the matte finish because it requires little to no touching up throughout the day. A similar, designer foundation would cost up to $60.
3. Powder blush by Milani = $8
Putting on a little blush can make anyone look younger with a healthy glow. My drugstore favorite is Milani because it has great color pay-off for all skin tones—with one swipe of the brush, you see a pop of color. Many drugstore brands require more applications because they tend to have more powder and less coloura. A similar product at a department store would cost $45.

The wand’s tapered brush is comparable to those of designer brands that go for $34. “Carbon black”it is because it makes eyes pop more. And the consistency of the mascara does not dry out lashes or flake.
5. “The Nudes” Eyeshadow Palette by Maybelline = $10
For a great day-to-night look, this palette offers a variety of 12 colors. They all have great pigment and go on easily to achieve whatever look you desire .Palettes at a high-end cosmetic counter can easily cost $40.

6. Super Lustrous Lip Gloss by Revlon = $6
If you like the look of gloss, but hate the sticky feel, this one’s for you. Super Lustrous gloss is less sticky than others and doesn’t create that unattractive film around your lips. Another plus is that you don’t need to use lipstick in addition because the color-payoff is good enough without it. This item compared to a department store brand costs $29—almost 5 times more.
