Redditor Deltadevenus spilled her secrets in a comment on the social media platform.

“I used to be an avid overconsumer of makeup before finally deciding to cut back on my collection and be more intentional with my buying habits,” she said.

She shared a few of her tips and tricks for beauty on a budget.

The cosmetic fan also included drugstore brands that do the job.

SAVE FACE

She shined the spotlight on one brand in particular that has been a saving grace for her.

“E.l.f. is an amazing resource for us brokies,” she said.

“Love their Power Grip Primer and I’m definitely going to repurchase their bronzing drops when I run out of the bottle I have.

“Their halo glow keeps going viral and for good reason, just yes.”

She also recommended another brand, pointing out that she loves their brow products.

“NYX is another great one,” she gushed.

“I usually go there for their brow products, as I’ve had good experiences with their brow pencils, pens, and gels.

“Their Bare With Me concealer has a beautiful finish, only downside is their undertone range isn’t the greatest.”

She also named several budget brands for beautiful skin.

“Colourpop, I love their skin tint and concealers, also their lipsticks are beautiful,” she said.

“Maybelline — love their Fit Me pressed powder.

“[I] haven’t tried their Super Stay Skin Tint because it’s too full coverage for my liking but have seen people rave over it.

“L’Oréal — they have a hyaluronic acid serum foundation that has a beautiful finish.

“Covergirl — the finish of the Skin Milk foundation is so pretty.

“Shade range is s**t but is generally pretty forgiving. They also have some really pigmented eyeshadow palettes.

“Essence — I get all my mascaras from Essence, I also love their lipglosses.”

The L’Oreal Paris True Match Nude Hyaluronic Tinted Serum Foundation with 1% Hyaluronic acid is sold for $14.99 on Amazon.
