Cosmetics are expensive, that’s the bitter truth. The concealer that’s been covering you for all the sleepless nights, or the lip gloss that made you look like a goddess on a girls’ night-outs, all of them cost big bucks. But, there are certain brands that are both expensive and amazing, yet somehow underrated. Here’s some of them.
1. Beauty Bakerie
In 2011, Cashmere Nicole built the now millions worth Beauty Bakerie from the scratch. She managed to start a beauty brand, raise breast cancer awareness, and raise a child as a single mother. The brand was successful in securing $5m worth funds from Unilever. The best part about the brand is that it is completely cruelty-free. From matte lip whips to setting powder, they have everything for your daily beauty needs. They’re quite affordable but here are some deals and discounts for you on the brand.
2. L.A Girl
L.A girl has products that can give the big brands a run for their money any day. The brand’s concealer and foundation are just amazing. And, the cult favorite concealer is only $3. The long-lasting formulas of the foundations are getting the attention they deserve slowly. The lip formulas are just as fantastic with a wide range of shades and formulas that are both efficient and affordable.
3. NYX
Nyx has got your back when it comes to your fix of long lasting liquid lipsticks. They have a huge — and I mean a really huge range of lipsticks, lip cremes and they’re just as good on the facial base makeup department too. The concealer from Nyx has gotten some rave reviews by beauty enthusiasts. Nyx is super affordable, versatile and easy-to-use.
4. Colorpop
Colorpop is crazy. They are the book definition of affordability. Colorpop gained popularity in recent times for being an effective dupe for kylie lip kits. It had a crazy wide range of lip kits, liquid lipsticks, and very vibrant eyeshadow palettes. Colourpop has products with long-lasting, high-quality products and they’re very easily available.
5. Wet n wild
Oh boy. Wet n Wild products are highly, highly underrated. Their foundations and concealers are a complete steal. The eyeshadow palette is so darn good, and so are their lipsticks. Wet n Wild also has an awesome collection of powdered highlighters and blushes. They have a steady collection of products with all the essentials and must-haves. On top of it, they also keep launching new products trend-wise.
6. E.L.F
The brand is very very consistent with its products. And they don’t back down on the quality either. They have a wide range of cosmetics, everything from lipsticks, to foundation to nail polish. Their matte lip pencils are simply amazing. They’re smooth, soft and long-lasting and have become everyone’s favorite. This one is really a drugstore luxury brand.
