Going on a fall beauty shopping spree doesn't need to burn a hole in your pocket — or prevent you from then buying the statement vest and oversize leather bag [1] you've been eyeing for a few weeks now.
Yes, you can score lipsticks in bold colours, the perfect black eyeliner for all your cat-eye creations, vibrant eyeshadow palettes, mascara that rivals a set of extensions, and more for less than $10. Basically, you can try all your favourite fall makeup trends while staying on a budget.
Ahead, seven of the buys we highly suggest adding to your cart — plus info on why they deserve a place in your makeup bag.
e.l.f. Cosmetics Big Mood Mascara
Whether you prefer natural-looking lashes or a look with intense volume and length, you can count on the newly released e.l.f. Cosmetics Big Mood Mascara [2] ($7). But what really sets this mascara apart from the rest is its ability to lift your lashes. Editor's tip: curl your eyelashes first to amplify the effect even more.
e.l.f. Cosmetics Srsly Satin Lipstick
Statement lips are forecast to be huge this fall [3]. Give some new shades a shot this season with the help of the e.l.f. Cosmetics Srsly Satin Lipstick [4] ($3). In addition to its impressive colour payoff, the formula is infused with ingredients like meadowfoam seed oil and jojoba oil to keep lips hydrated and soft.
e.l.f. Cosmetics No Budge Retractable Eyeliner
Graphic eyeliner is everywhere — and we're all about it. If you're ready to draw on some shapes or a classic cat eye, opt for a waterproof formula like the e.l.f. Cosmetics No Budge Retractable Eyeliner [5] ($4), which is packaged in a convenient retractable tube. It's available in black, charcoal, navy, and coffee.
e.l.f. Cosmetics Jelly Pop Juicy Gloss
Whether you like it or not, Y2K fashion and beauty trends have been revived, and that means lip gloss is having a moment. Take part in the nostalgia while pampering your lips with hydrating hyaluronic acid and coconut oil when you use the e.l.f. Cosmetics Jelly Pop Juicy Gloss [6] ($5). It comes in four different shades, including this pretty watermelon hue.
e.l.f. Cosmetics Bite-Size Eyeshadow Palette
This year loves bright and pastel eyeshadow [7]. If you haven't given the trend a try just yet, you still have plenty of time. (Chances are, these fun shades aren't going anywhere.) Just pick up the e.l.f. Cosmetics Bite-Size Eyeshadow Palette [8] ($3). Each compact offers four different, yet complementary, eyeshadow shades.
e.l.f. Cosmetics Clear Brow and Lash Mascara
The e.l.f. Cosmetics Clear Brow and Lash Mascara [9] ($3) is your secret to fluffy, brushed-up eyebrows without any added pigment. Bonus: you can use the formula on your eyelashes, too.
e.l.f. Cosmetics Putty Bronzer
Bronzer is more of a makeup-bag staple than a trend, if we're being honest. If your current compact is running dry, or you're just in the mood to try something new, we highly suggest pressing purchase on the e.l.f. Cosmetics Putty Bronzer [10] ($6). The creamy formula creates a natural-looking glow (you can use a brush or your fingertips) and even moisturises your skin.
