11 Low-Key Incredible Beauty Products You Didn’t Know Were in Walmart

My earliest Walmart memories are tied to a summer camp gig where it was literally the only place to shop within a 10-mile radius. From June through August, it was an air-conditioned oasis for everything from sunscreen to flip-flops. Rarely did I shop the beauty aisle, except when I randomly needed eyeliner for a rare night out, though I always knew there was more beyond the one aisle I actually paid attention to. Fast forward to present day and Walmart beauty products are dare I say, kind-of amazing? Am I late to this party?!

As someone with a high-low beauty routine, I’m a regular at Sephora and the drugstore. In other words, I find no shame in pairing a $60 foundation with a $2 lip gloss. It’s about balance people! However, while there are certain pricier products I know I’ll never let go of, there are plenty of others I’d be willing to trade out too. As long as the formula is equally effective, I see no harm in investing in something for a fraction of the price. And I’m sure my bank account would agree.

But Walmart just never really appealed to me. Maybe it’s because I associate it with my awkward teenage years. Maybe it’s because I don’t live near one. Whatever the case, I thank the beauty gods for Google because if the Internet has taught me one thing this year, it’s that Walmart is the low-key MVP of affordable beauty. They’ve got just as many top-rated brands as your local CVS and some of them are actually exclusive to the store. And once I saw a K-beauty top-seller, I knew it was time to pay extra close attention. If like me, you are new to Walmart’s beauty section, here are 10 products you definitely need to try.
