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.

The Benefit Cosmetics Fan Fest mascara separates lashes and makes them look voluminous. I also love how its unique curved wand coats each lash from root to tip.
The formula is smudge-proof, so it's great for achieving bold, beautiful lashes that'll stay in place for several hours. The mini Benefit Cosmetics Fan Fest mascara is $16.
