Affordable Make-up Online

Find the best make-up prices online

Money Owl’s top picks

Great Prices: so affordable! Discounts range from 5% to 70% off. Usually you’re roped in by a mega deal on one product that you don’t need, only to find your favourites have smaller discounts, but it beats paying full RRP in the stores.
Free delivery: free delivery on all purchases. They claim it is registered post but it isn’t. Still, if your item is lost in the post they send a replacement one straight away.
Big range: one of the largest online ranges of discounted cosmetics in Australia that we could find.
Loyalty discounts: the more orders you accrue the higher the discount. Although you have to rack up 20 orders to get the full 10%, which might take a while. You also get 1-5% off when you purchase 2 or more items in one order.

Biggest range: they possibly have the biggest range of make-up and cosmetics available online in Australia. It’s huge.
Excellent prices: it was neck and neck on the price check between Cosmetics Now and our other Top Picks. You won’t be disappointed at the check-out with this site.
Free shipping and returns: also free shipping. The added bonus is that you can return items if you change your mind – provided they are unused and unopened.

Stick with what you know and love: avoid buying a new brand or item just because it has a big discount - you will always save money in the long run if you buy make-up that you already know works for you.
Make-up How-To guides: get the most out of your make-up by checking out some how-to application videos and tips online. We think these sites are excellent:

Fresh is best: if you haven’t used a liquid make-up item (foundation, crème shadow, crème blush, mascara etc) then throw it out! Bacteria builds up quickly, and prices online are so affordable these days that you can afford to refresh and replace.

Old or unboxed items: check that the online retailer stocks fresh items, that are safety sealed and with original packaging always intact. You don’t want to be applying anything to your face that has been sitting in a warehouse for who knows how long.
Exchange and returns: check the return/exchange policy before you purchase. Exchange and returns policies are mixed – some offer exchange, some don’t. Best to check to avoid disappointment.

Freebies: Check freebies with your purchase. Strawberry Net often has promotions where they throw in an eye pencil or shadow with purchases. If your preferred retailer doesn’t have a giveaway offer on why not ask for a freebie?
