Paisa Vasool: Low-Priced Makeup Products That Are Just As Awesome As Luxury Products

Paisa Vasool: Low-Priced Makeup Products That Are Just As Awesome As Luxury Products

If you’re a beauty junkie like me, then you may get this itch to make a new beauty purchase almost daily. So thanks to this constant need that I and the rest of our beauty team have to experiment with almost every kind of product that we can get our hands on, we’ve realised that a high price tag doesn’t necessarily guarantee a fabulous product. While there are plenty of luxury beauty products that do work amazingly, there are some that are much more affordable and do the job just as fantastically. In fact, there are plenty of face makeup products out there that are not expensive at all but pack a serious punch of awesomeness, making them quite a steal.

So without any further ado, here are some fantabulous affordable makeup products that are just as good as high-end ones, some even better, but without the steep price-tag. These babies are the true definition of *paisa vasool*. 

 1. Miss Claire Soft Matte Lip Cream

While the internet was abuzz with rave reviews of Fenty and Huda’s newest concealer launches recently, we’ve never quite gotten over how awesome this one by LA Girl is and for a fraction of the price. This concealer is lightweight, full coverage and so cream-like, it blends like a dream. It’s even a favourite product amongst several makeup artists. If dark circles or spots and marks are the bane of your life, you won’t regret getting this concealer.

Sivanna is a Thai based brand that has a lot of dupes for higher-end products. Their shimmer brick is a popular choice for girls who don’t want to spend too much on a highlighter but still want their skin to look glowy and LIT. It glides on smoothly and a light dusting of this will help illuminate your skin. You can use each shade separately or swirl your brush around the whole brick for some fabulous, shimmery pay-off on your skin.

The right foundation needs to check a lot of boxes – it needs to be lightweight, look natural, blend easily, offer great coverage and have a great range of shades amongst other things. Naturally then, these products don’t generally come cheap, but this one’s an exception. It’s affordable and delivers everything we look for in a perfect foundation while also blurring pores and controlling shine. Why splurge elsewhere then?

A few swipes of mascara is all you need to refresh your look and this one is great for adding that extra oomph to your lashes and making your eyes look bigger, just like the name suggests.

Every brand has their own eyeliner and we gotta admit, some of the luxe liners really are great but once you try this one by Colorbar, you’ll never want to or need to spend big bucks on a liner again. This sketch pen liner makes it truly easy to doodle on your lids with great precision, it dries off into a glamorous glossy finish that will not budge ALL day, and we’re not even exaggerating. While it’s long-lasting power is amazing, it surprisingly comes off super easily with a remover, without having to vigorously rub your eyes like so many other liners. Oh, and it’s super pigmented and if you’re bored of black, it’s even available in some gorgeous shades like azure and mauve.
