Broke or not, every girl loves a budget buy. When it comes to makeup, high quality means big moolah. However, some drugstore products work so well they would put high-end brands to shame. It’s all a process of trial and error discovering these gems. You really need to go out there and get your hands dirty. Or leave it to us to uncover some of the best budget products for a fraction of what high-end products would cost.
Recently, beauty blogger Ankita Srivastava of Corallista posted a budget makeup tutorial that’s perfect for a party, and needless to say, we were all ears. This look is easy to achieve even if you’re an amateur; it’s all about an easy smokey eye look with a hint of bronzer. No contouring involved because we all know how tricky that can be. The best part about this look is all the products used are under Rs 1,000. Although Srivastava uses a high-end mascara in the video for lack of a budget option at the time (P.S. It’s Estee Lauder Sumptuous Extreme Lash Multiplying Mascara), she suggests using Maybelline’s Volum’ Express The Falsies Mascara instead. I think this is a super-pretty look and it’s so versatile that you can wear it any season, anytime.
