Welcome to Budget-Friendly Buys, a weekly series covering affordable, in-demand pieces—all approved by our data-driven algorithm.
While it’s a little early in the season for a new fall makeup look, it’s a perfect time to clean out your makeup bag and replace the essentials. Whether you're in "back-to-school" or "back-to-work" shopping and organization mode, we recommend you toss out those expired beauty products, let go of those eyeshadow palettes you haven’t touched in years, and find a replacement you'll love. To help you do this without breaking the bank, we rounded up a list of 20 top-rated beauty finds that’ll fool your friends into thinking you don’t settle for less than NARS or Charlotte Tilbury.
With the help of our team of shopping experts (and our data-powered algorithm), we scoured the web to find acceptable stand-ins for all of your favorite—but expensive—beauty products. We’re talking about blushes that resemble the rosy hues of NARS’ famous Orgasm shade and brow wands that mimic the magic of Glossier’s iconic Boy Brow. So, without further adieu, get ready to meet the wallet-friendly alternatives to the internet’s favorite beauty products.
