Being a girl isn’t cheap. Seriously, if you love makeup, then things can get expensive. Commercials are always making us feel like if we don’t spend a ton of money on their products, we’ll never look good with anything cheaper. But a lot of us are more wise to this and we know that makeup doesn’t have to be over priced. In fact, there are plenty of products that aren’t going to break the bank.
So down below, I found some awesome makeup from some great sources that are all under five dollars. I found each one from bloggers who made their own list of $5 makeup products and I include a link at the bottom so you can go check them out. I really love giving my readers the option to see more so that if they don’t find something they like, there’s more to look at. Also, giving credit is pretty darn important too. So check out all of these great $5 makeup products and let me know if you have any questions!

Guys, it’s getting hot out which means that my face is going to be shiny and I’m gonna need powder. And even when it’s not hot out, my face somehow always finds a way to get oily. So this $4.99 powder will do just fine.

I get it, it was a late night and you need something to cover up those dark circles. Well for a great price, you can get the “I had a great night’s sleep” look before you head off to work. Seriously, this stuff is a savior if you don’t want to look sleep deprived.
Even if you wear a lot of makeup, you can still walk out of the drugstore with a receipt total that isn’t going to make you cringe. Yes, there will be some products that you just can’t cheap. Sometimes you will have to spend good money for something that the cheaper brands don’t have. But usually, if you do a bit of looking (or just read on what makeup you can get for cheap like above and below), you’ll find some great quality products that will still keep you under budget.
