  • As a makeup artist, I often shop at Sephora for great beauty products under $25.

Sephora offers so many great, high-quality beauty finds that it can be overwhelming to figure out which items are worth purchasing.

This is especially true as more beauty enthusiasts buy their products online, leaving them unable to try out an item in person. That's why good recommendations are essential when purchasing makeup.

As a makeup artist, I've tried what feels like an endless number of makeup and skincare items. Here are nine products at Sephora that cost less than $25 and deliver impressive results.

I love the Benefit Cosmetics Fan Fest fanning-and-volumizing mascara.
