As a shopping writer who spends all day researching and writing about beauty, skincare, and fashion, I'm something of an expert. I've tried my fair share of both luxury and drugstore makeup brands. I can tell you firsthand that affordable items can often perform as well as their more expensive counterparts.
On my quest to find the best affordable makeup out there, I stumbled upon the brand Moira Cosmetics while doomscrolling on TikTok and knew that I had to try it. I was thoroughly impressed. Almost everything from the beauty brand is under $20 (with tons of $10-and-under options).
I found that many of the products perform similarly to those from presitge counterparts — think affordable setting powder that will keep your face in place all day just like your favorite pro brands, but for a fraction of the cost. Shop colorful liquid and powder blushes that pack as much of a punch as your favorite celeb-branded blush. You'll even discover shimmery eyeshadows that rival the expensive stuff.
If you're looking for a drugstore-priced makeup line that delivers designer-like results, Moira Cosmetics is your girl. Best of all, I did all of the research for you and selected my favorite stand-out products from the bran.
