    The Best Beauty Products for Every Budget

    By Taylor Barringer & Megan McIntyre, Refinery29

    Recently, it seems like there's been a lot of attention paid to certain individuals' bank accounts. While we're just as curious as the rest of the world to see what Mitt Romney has in his coffers, we're far more interested in the spending of the dolla dolla bills in our own - particularly on beauty products.

    But, since finding great budget beauty products can be kind of a crapshoot, we did you a solid and scoped out the best of the bunch. And, because we know not every bank account is created equal (what's up, 1%!), we've included some great splurge buys, too. Read on to see the high-end products we stock up on when we're feeling flush and the wallet-friendly dopplegangers we turn to when our checkbook is running on fumes.

      When it comes to foundation, we don't like to skimp on quality - nothing is worse than layering on a low-quality foundation and finding out it gives you that awkward mask effect. Make Up For Ever's HD Foundation is on our must-buy list because it covers up imperfections without making skin look plastic. Unfortunately, its double-digit price tag makes us wince at the register. Enter: Maybelline Fit Me, which goes on just as smoothly, looks oh-so natural, and lasts just as long.

      Maybelline Fit Me Foundation, $7.99, available at Ulta; Make Up For Ever HD Foundation, $42, available at Sephora.
