Makeup Artists and Editors With Expensive Taste Love These Cheap Makeup Brands

Don’t just take my word for it, makeup artists swear by Nyx, too. Perisco says, “Nyx has been a favorite of mine for years. They have super-pigmented formulas and a huge selection to choose from. One of my favorite products from the brand is the Pore Filler Blurring Primer. This is effective enough to smooth over and blur any imperfections in your skin, all without feeling thick or tacky. It feels smooth to the touch, and helps your base makeup glide on like a dream.” Gabbay laid another glowing review for the brand on me, but this time she couldn’t stop raving about the brand’s lipsticks. “Nyx’s Matte Lip Creams are comfortable, lightweight, and pigmented. At $7, you can’t go wrong having one in your purse and one in your makeup drawer! (Guilty). My favorite shades are Cairo and London.”
