In a world where everything keeps getting more and more expensive, NYX is one of the few beauty brands where you can still find budget-friendly makeup.
In fact, NYX has some of the best affordable alternatives that look and perform as well as makeup from your favorite high-end brands. In many cases, these NYX lookalikes are better than their expensive counterparts and start at just $6.
Don't take our word for it, though. These NYX dupes are backed by thousands upon thousands of reviews from shoppers with flawless makeup who love a deal.
We found dupes for Charlotte Tilbury's Pillow Talk lip liner, Urban Decay's All Nighter setting spray, Makeup Forever's HD setting powder, Tarte's Maracuja Juicy Lips, Dior's Addict Lip Glow oil, and so much more (you're welcome).
Balling on budget? You need these affordable NYX alternatives that reviewers say work just as well as—or better than—the expensive stuff.
NYX Slim Lip Pencil
One reviewer raved this NYX lip pencil in the shade Peekaboo Neutral is their "go to dupe for Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk!" Apart from sharing a pinky nude undertone, both lip pencils deliver a creamy, long-wear application that's smudge-proof.
Customer Review: "This liner (Peekaboo Neutral) is the same color as, and similar quality to my Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk lip liner. It’s $5 as opposed to $25 for the Tilbury. Saved me $20, gotta love it!!"

NYX HD Studio Finishing Powder
Reviewers say this finely milled loose finishing powder is very similar to Makeup Forever's $44 setting powders, only way cheaper. It absorbs excess oil while leaving skin with a blurred matte finish.
Customer Review: "I was running out of my small pot of Makeup Forever HD powder. I bought this due to reviews, and DAYUM! I'm pretty sure this NYX powder is BETTER than the expensive brand. I work in a hot, humid hospital kitchen, wearing masks 7.5/8 hours. I'm a sweaty girl. When I get home and look in the mirror- my makeup is STILL fresh and matte. I cannot believe HOW great this stuff is."

NYX Fat Oil Lip Drip
This viral lip oil has been compared to Dior's iconic lip oil as well as Fenty Beauty's beloved gloss bombs. The under-$10 lippie is formulated with squalane and raspberry seed oil for a boost of moisture in addition to a juicy shine.
Customer Review: "The lip oil trend has fully saturated my tik tok feed. So I was anxious to test and compare this Dior dupe. I also own the Dior Lip Oil and tbh NYX is giving them a run for their money. This lip oil does its job for a fraction of the price."

NYX Makeup Setting Spray
If you consider the Urban Decay All Nighter setting spray your "holy grail," you'll be happy to know that this affordable alternative works just as well. Reviewers rave that it keeps your makeup intact for hours and keeps skin from getting shiny.
Customer Review: "This is such a good setting spray for those who have oily skin, like myself. I tend to get oily throughout the day in my t-zone & ever since I started using this, my oily skin is less noticeable. This also makes my makeup last a lot longer. I can get a full day in & still look just as good as when I first applied my make up. The price of this stuff is so amazing too. I've tried a lot of more pricey setting sprays & I honestly feel like this one is just as good. I would say this is a good dupe for the Urban Decay all nighter spray!"

NYX Micro Brow Pencil
The reviews are in and this micro brow pencil is giving the cult-favorite Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Whiz a run for its money. At half the price of ABH's, the smudge-proof pencil's precise tip makes for effortless shaping.
Customer Review: "Nyx brow pencil is a total dupe for Anastasia Beverly Hills brow wiz. I was paying $26 a pen and I made the switch to nyx and I won’t go back! It lasts all day, has a natural look, and y’all I get compliments on my brows EVERY DAY!! If you’re looking for a cheaper solid option, look no further!! You found it!!"

NYX Epic Ink Liner
This long-wear liquid eyeliner stands up against the greats, including Stila's pricey Stay All Day liner. Reviewers love how pigmented this liner is, plus its fine felt tip makes achieving a precise wing easy.
Customer Review: "I didn’t think I would love it and just bought this eyeliner because I wanted to try an alternative to Stila, which I’ve been using for over 8 years. I must admit I was pleasantly surprised and loved the pigment. It’s pitch black. It honestly stayed on longer than Stila’s waterproof eyeliner ever does."

NYX Bare With Me Concealer Serum
Why spend a ton of money on the Nars Creamy Radiant concealer when this NYX option is just as good? The blendable serum concealer delivers medium coverage and a natural finish in addition to containing skin-loving ingredients like soothing cica and hydrating green tea.
Customer Reviews: "ive tried expensive trendy concealers like nars and they all crease on me or look cakey. this is simply the best concealer and the price is unbeatable for what you get. it blends beautifully and seamlessly and it does not crease and lasts sooo long."

NYX The Brow Glue
Give your arches a "laminated" look with this fan-favorite eyebrow gel. Reviewers say the long-hold brow gel works similarly (if not better) than those from Benefit, Glossier, and Anastasia. It comes in both clear and tinted shades.
Customer Review: "I’ve tried just about every eyebrow gel on the market from high end to drugstore. This is not only a dupe for Benefit brow gel and Glossier Boy Brow, it’s better! So much better and way cheaper."

NYX Fat Oil Slick Click
This lip oil combines the best of a gloss and a balm all while being less than half the price of the Tarte Maracuja Juicy lips everyone on TikTok uses. The creamy hybrid delivers a high-shine wash of color while hydrating your lips thanks to ingredients including avocado and cloudberry.
Customer Review: "These stick-click balm lip oils feel amazing on the lips! I would even go so far as to say they are a dupe for the Tarte Juicy lip vinyl, but I like the Nyx one better. You might need to reapply more often than Tarte, but it's less sticky on the lips. The colors are so pretty that I went back and bought more. Seriously, you need to have these!"

NYX Sweet Cheeks Soft Cheek Tint
Reviewers say this cheek tint is just as pigmented and lasts just as long as the Rare Beauty Soft Pinch liquid blushes. Lightweight and buildable, these long-lasting blushes have a second skin feel and a dewy finish.
Customer Review: "This blush is a great dupe for the Rare Beauty liquid blush. It is a beautiful color with tons of pigment that blends like a dream. There is an angled doe foot applicator that makes it so easy to apply. This product will last forever, a little goes a long way."
