Let’s face it—makeup can be expensive. Between viral products, influencer hype, and shiny new launches, your cart can fill up real quick. But here’s the good news: you don’t need to break the bank to look bomb!
Whether you're a student, beginner, or just looking to refresh your vanity without spending a fortune, this guide is your golden ticket to creating a complete, affordable makeup kit that slays.
Step 1: Set a Budget That Works for You
Before you dive into buying, decide on a comfortable budget. Whether it's ₹1000, ₹2000, or ₹5000, setting a limit helps you choose wisely and avoid impulse buys. And trust us—you can get a full face under ₹2000 if you shop smart!
Step 2: Start with the Essentials
Here’s your basic but powerful list of must-haves:
1. Primer
2. Foundation/BB Cream
3. Concealer
4. Compact Powder
5. Kajal/Eyeliner
6. Mascara
7. Lipstick
8. Eyebrow Pencil
PRO TIP: Go for multi-use products—a lipstick that doubles as blush, or a BB cream that moisturizes.
Step 3: Go for Budget-Friendly Brands That Don’t Compromise on Quality
Look out for brand like:
Moraze – Affordable, cruelty-free, and trendy
Step 4: Shop Smart, Not Hard
Combo Deals: Buy sets or kits (often cheaper than individual items).
Sales & Discounts: Festival sales = goldmine for budget makeup.
Mini Sizes: Travel or sample sizes are wallet-friendly and perfect for testing.
Step 5: Organize Your Kit Like a Pro
You don’t need a fancy organizer. A cute pouch or clear box works just fine. Keep it clean, minimal, and efficient.
Don’t Forget Tools & Cleansing!
Essential Tools: 1 beauty sponge + 1 fluffy brush can do A LOT.
Budget Brushes: Go for sets online or at local beauty stores.
Cleansing: Always remove makeup! Use micellar water or coconut oil.
