There are so many incredible, affordable makeup products, but I chose those that stood out and used them all year. I want to do this series in 2 parts since I have a lot of products to share, and I don’t want to overwhelm you 😉
I have between new makeup that became favorites and holy grails that I will always have in my collection and use all the time. This list could have been long, but I narrowed it to a maximum of 3 products in each category so you can have a bit of variety.
This post is about the Best Affordable Makeup from 2021 ( Part 1 – Face Makeup Products)
Best Affordable Face Makeup
1. Affordable Primers
I have 3 primers to share. These primers provide different results: pore filler, hydration, and dewy finish.
NYX Professional Makeup Primer Pore Filler Burring Primer Stick

This product is excellent; I love using it on my T zone and the areas where my pores are more visible. This primer helps to reduce your pore appearance for a flawless look.
You can find this product here:
Hard Candy Hydrating Primer

I love this product. It is a dupe for the Milk Hydro Grip Primer, and it gives the same results: your makeup won’t move and great hydration.
You can find this product here:
Milani Bright Side Illuminating Primer

This primer provides great hydration with a beautiful glowing finish and has Vitamin C and Provitamin B5.

4. Affordable Setting Powders
I tried three powders in 2021, and I keep going back for them . Two are pressed powders, and one is a loose powder. The finish in these powders is very similar: flawless, natural, not cakey, no flashback, and they really smooth your pore appearance.
Flower Beauty Light Illusion Perfecting Powder

Milani Silky Matte Bronzer

7. Affordable Highlighters
These 3 highlighters are fantastic; they perform like high-end! They are buttery, blend incredibly, and can give you a soft or intense glow. What I love the most is that they can be intense without accentuating your pores.
Milani Baked Highlighter

Flower Beauty Shimmer and Strobe Highlighters

Catrice More than Glow Highlighter
