After almost a year of blogging, I think you can already see that my business is buying makeup when I travel. There has already been a post cheap makeup brands to buy in the USA, the best dupes from american pharmacies e até Tips on where to find your entire wish list at once.
And, to make this series complete, I couldn't help but talk about the best sites to buy makeup in the United States! Not that physical stores aren't great, I spend hours in Walgreens and Sephora. But there are brands that are only sold online and are worth waiting two to three business days to get your hands on.
Not to mention the multi-brand websites that sell past collections or even those that are still on the shelves with a very friendly discount. You can even buy two products instead of one (it's still economics like that, right? hahaha).
If you are staying in a hotel, I recommend checking se they receive orders if it is a free service and , the The address must be written when ordering so that it can be delivered to your room without any problems. If you need to pay for each package, I recommend taking a look at the Amazon Locker service.
If you are in a Airbnb or some house, just have fun with the boxes!!!! Just don't forget that, depending on the shipping method, they may leave the package at your door even though there is no one to pick it up at the time.
Many here on the list deliver in Brazil, but with the increase in the dollar and shipping prices I think it's no longer worth buying from most of them. Anyway, if you don't have plans to travel to Uncle Sam's land, you can assemble the cart and see if it's worth sending it here. Without forgetting that it can be taxed by the Revenue and there is an increase of 60% more.
Remembering that all the brands indicated in this post are cruelty-free, ie are not tested on animals. Some sites sell brands that test, but they are not described in this post.
9 Sites to Buy Makeup in the United States
1. Amazon
Amazon is my favorite site to shop when I'm in the United States or want to ask a family member or friend to bring me a few things.
The great advantage of this site is that it sells several brands, and is a treasure trove for finding those products that are out of stock in physical stores or have been discontinued. It is also an option when you want to buy a brand online, but the official website does not accept Brazilian credit cards. The packages arrive super quickly at the hotel, and it's very practical so you don't have to go to several different stores looking for one product or another.
Some of the products that I think are worth buying there:
- LA Girl eyeshadow palette, dupe from Naked 3.
- Miracle Complexion by Real Techniques, sponge dupe from Beauty Blender.
- Baked Blush in Luminoso, from Milani.
- Essence Lash Princess Mascara (best mascara I've ever used!).
- Kit of 10 brushes from BH Cosmetics.
- wet n wild Precious Petals Highlighter.
2. Coastal Scents
I already mentioned the Coastal Scents in the post of 7 cheap makeup brush brands. What I didn't tell you is that this was the second website I bought makeup from in my life. At the time I purchased a set of 12 brushes. It's been almost 8 years since this order, and I use most of them until today! Despite the low price, they are well made and last a long time if cared for properly.
Highlight for the Pro Blending Fluff Brush, which I consider a slightly rougher copy of MAC's 217.
Those who like palettes will be happy with the variety and prices: the eyeshadow ones have 88, 120 and even 256, starting at US$10,95. Blush, contour and concealer are also available.
Send to Brazil and the cheapest shipping costs around US$8.
3. BH Cosmetics
I don't know when this brand became so popular among Brazilian women, but lately what I see most in Facebook groups are topics about BH Cosmetics. An understandable phenomenon when we look at the price of the products, which are super affordable. 99-color eyeshadow palettes for $14,00!
The brushes are also described on social media as soft and amazing for the value. It has kits 10 pieces of duo fibers for just US$18. Singles start at US$3, and there are several vegan options.
Last year, BH Cosmetics partnered with several celebrities, such as Carli Bybel and Ashley Tisdale. You can take a look at Ashley's complete collection in this post.
Send to Brazil and shipping is calculated according to the weight of the order. A set of brushes or an eyeshadow palette has a shipping cost of US$8, on average.
4. Morphe Cosmetics
YouTube fever – It is the best description for the Morphe Cosmetics. Loved by gurus like Jaclyn Hill and Kathleen Lights, it's hard not to see at least one brush from the brand in foreign YouTubers' videos.
Not only is the quality highlighted, but the price is as well. Some shadow brushes, like Bullet Crease, cost just $2,89! They also have some more luxurious lines, but even in these the most expensive items cost around US$22.
The 35-color neutral eyeshadow palettes are also among the best-selling items, with 35O the most famous of them. Collaborations with internet celebrities are another bet for the brand, but They are usually limited and sell out within hours.
The website until send to Brazil, but shipping for a palette starts at $22!!!!!

5. Colorpop
Anyone who follows the beauty part of the blog already knows that among the websites to buy makeup in the United States, Colorpop It's one of my favorites! This is because they are always releasing new things and I want everything. #sincerities
I find it difficult to choose a favorite product, so let's go with two: Shadows and the liquid lipsticks, both mattes and satins. The brightness and intensity of the shadows will impress anyone, and consistency is, as they say these days, buttery (buttery). I've never come across a product like this, and it only costs $5. He has post with a review of the first three that I purchased.
The liquid lipsticks were the first ones I tried, and they created very high expectations for other brands. They stay on the lips all day, even after eating, drinking and talking a lot. I recommend putting a concealer on your mouth before using, so the colors stay more faithful. There is also a review post about them.
The website already delivers in Brazil, but shipping starts at $15.
Are you enjoying this post? So take advantage Like the blog page on Facebook!
6. Makeup Geek
Initially for tutorials, the Makeup Geek launched her own makeup line and became one of the best websites to buy makeup in the United States! Her shadows have become favorites among digital influencers. For US$6 for regular ones and US$10 for foiled (mix between powder and cream, very pigmented), they come without packaging and must be placed on a magnetic palette.
The brand also sells blushes, contouring powders and, more recently, illuminators! Although not as popular as the eyeshadows, many YouTubers approved the products. Kathleen Lights even partnered with Makeup Geek and launched a trio of beautiful highlighters and with exclusive packaging for US$39.
They also ship to Brazil and shipping costs US$7,99.
7. Kylie Cosmetics
Makeup line created by the youngest of the clan Kardashian / Jenner, Kylie Cosmetics started with just three Lip kits (matte liquid lipstick + lip contour pencil), which were impossible to get. At launch, the products appeared on eBay for absurd prices, like US$100.
Currently, the brand has expanded and sells, in addition to other kit colors, eyeshadow palettes and gel liners, as well as glosses and metallic liquid lipsticks. The items already have a larger stock and most of them can be purchased at any time on the website. With the exception of releases. On these occasions, the website is closed, replaced by a counter and, when it reaches zero, in a matter of a minute or two the new products are usually sold out.
I tried to buy the miniature edition of the liquid lipsticks for Kylie's birthday and was frustrated the three times they were back in stock. I don't recommend the experience and I suggest you don't want the releases hahaha.
Small addendum: if you fall in love with the colors but don't care about Kylie's name, Bruna Tavares from Pause for Feminices has several dupes in your collection with T Blogs and in your own line.
You can buy on the website and ask for delivery to Brazil, shipping costs US$14,95.
8. Brigette's Boutique
Anyone who has been shopping internationally on the internet for years will remember this among the websites to buy makeup in the United States: Brigette's Boutique. It is a multi-brand website that sells discounted items. Some brands' selection is no more than one page long, while others have more than 500 products.
It is not common to find products from collections that have just arrived in stores, but for past collections this store is a find. Today I found the Gwen Stefani eyeshadow palette with Urban Decay (US$39,95 compared to the original price of US$58) and the Andy Warhol x NARS palette (US$36,50 versus US$65 which was the price in stores).
I've bought a lot there and I've always received everything correctly here in Brazil.. Around 2010, they increased shipping considerably due to packages disappearing in the mail here, and I thought it stopped being worth sending here. The delivery cost for Gwen's palette, for example, is US$14,75.
9. eBay
O eBay It works like Mercado Livre, where anyone can register and start selling their things. For makeup, he is the ideal place to get that exclusive palette that ran out in 5 minutes on the official website (hello, Kylie Cosmetics), but for a much higher price.
Since everyone can sell there, they are common fakes. Always be suspicious of very low prices or when a seller has a large stock of a product that is difficult to access. Always check the reputation and comments of other buyers, who usually testify to the (or lack of) originality of the merchandise.
Shipping to Brazil depends on the seller.
And this is the list of my favorites! And you, Do you usually shop online when traveling? What are your favorite websites to buy makeup in the United States? Have you already placed an order on one of this list? Tell me! =)
Hi, thank you for sharing this with us, because here in Brazil it is very expensive lol
Dont tell me!!! I've given up on buying makeup in Brazil now, either I order it from abroad or I hope to go traveling lol
How do you order this makeup without having to travel??????
I want to go shopping but I don't know how to speak English??
Isabelly, to buy without traveling there are three ways:
1 – Buy on websites that ship to Brazil
2 – Send it to a redirection service in the United States, which sends the product to you
3 – Ask someone you know who is traveling to bring
Some cool websites that ship to Brazil: FeelUnique, Brigettes Boutique, iHerb, Beauty Bay… They have several different brands. Some private label sites also ship here: Colourpop, Morphe (but the shipping is absurd), Kylie Cosmetics, Jouer, BH Cosmetics, Coastal Scents. Just look carefully and you'll find it!
The Amazon website has a section that delivers to Brazil, but there is nothing about beauty.
And to buy without speaking English, just use the Google Chrome translator, it will leave the page in Portuguese! Remember to write your address as here in Brazil, as the Brazilian postal service staff will see it! 🙂
I hope I helped, happy shopping! 😀 <3
Hey. Feel Unique still delivers to Brazil? I've been trying to buy the James Charles palette for days but every time I try to go to Checkout I get an error...
Are Morphe products not sent to Brazil?
I took a look here and it looks like they don't deliver anymore, I'll update the post :/
Alyssa my beauty, I was looking at the Amazon website and there is a space that you click to send to Brazil. take a look at this!!
Unfortunately the beauty part doesn’t come into play 🙁
Great Tips Alyssa, I'm going to buy some little things soon. Thanks!
Where do you order from outside???? Which website do you like the most???
Hi Isabelly! Depends on what I'm looking for!
I've already bought a lot from Brigettes Boutique, Colourpop and Coastal Scents 🙂
I also like Target, Nonpareil Boutique…
Wow, how did I forget about Target???? Best store <3
Alyssa, how does the delivery of these sites work, does it take a long time?? Kiss
Hi Juliana!
It depends on the type of shipping you choose. The last time I purchased I used USPS and it arrived in three weeks with no fees. Fedex is more expensive and the fee is right, but it comes very quickly. Non-tracking options are usually cheaper, but they can take time like shopping on AliExpress, that is, months…
Alyssa, have you ever been taxed on purchases at Brigettes boutique?
I've never been, but I haven't shopped there in a while.
This year I made a US$45 purchase at Jouer and I wasn't taxed, neither was iherb! 🙂
Kisses
My first palette and brush set was also from Costal… I bought it when the dollar was cheap, so it was totally worth it… The brushes are amazing… Nowadays I think a lot before buying from a foreign website, because when it comes to conversion, some things end up being worth buying here… I just made a purchase at BH cosmetics… I can't wait for it to arrive… Kisses
Hi, Deborah!!! I also loooove Coastal brushes, I use mine from that time to this day. My sister recently brought me some Morphe brushes and they are also great and very cheap 🙂
Then tell me if your purchase from BH arrived correctly!
I made a purchase at BH and received an absurd email. They canceled my purchase and sent the following:

And the delivery was to an address in the USA, nor was it for shipping to Brazil.
I do not recommend!
Wow, Carolina, how absurd!!!
I hope they at least gave you your money back. It's happened to me in other stores, but it was because my card was Brazilian and the delivery was in the USA, could that be why?
I don't know, Alyssa, with that “democratic” response I didn't even ask anything back… I haven't seen the refund on the card yet, but it's still due! And the worst thing is that I was very happy with the purchase, I had recommended it to a lot of friends… 🙁
Wow, really boring! I see a lot of people who have already purchased and received it correctly here in Brazil :/
It happened to me the other day on Kylie's website!!! They haven't refunded yet!!! I'm scared to death because I tried 3 times
Hi, I would like to know if it is possible to buy in installments on the Morphe website?
Hi, Luciana!
Unfortunately they don’t sell in installments abroad 🙁
Hello, your post was very useful, I'm thinking about buying some things! Have you ever been taxed on large purchases?
Hi Verena!
I've already been taxed on small purchases, as well as some large ones! It depends a lot on the season and the mood of the post office…
My last purchase was US$45 in June and it was not taxed! I hope it helps, kisses and happy shopping! 🙂
Hi Alyssa, are you familiar with allbeauty.com? I bought it there 2 months ago, it arrived in 3 weeks and I wasn't taxed. So I went to buy again this week and they no longer provide the shipping option to Brazil. I was devastated because it was the one with the lowest shipping cost. 🙁
Hi, Chris!
I don't know, and apparently I won't even have the opportunity to know, right? 🙁 Try FeelUnique or BeautyBay, they are from the UK and offer reasonable shipping 🙂
Kisses!!
Hi Alyssa.
I loved your blog.
I'm going to Miami for the first time and I wanted to know a little more about how purchases work on some websites for delivery to the hotel. I'm a little unsure about this.
Hi, Viviane!
As for having packages delivered to hotels, it really depends on the hotel.
The best thing is to send an email or read the accommodation policy to see if they accept orders from guests. Some hotels do not accept it, others accept it without any problems and some accept it but charge a fee per order.
If your question is what to put in the name/address field so they know that the order is yours, I recommend putting the room number or, if you are buying before the trip so it will be there when you check in, put the date of your arrival (arrival date) next to your name when making the purchase.
If you were to buy today and arrive at the hotel in five days, for example, it would look like this:
Name: Viviane Kauer (Arrival Date: 10/7/2017)
Address: Here you enter the hotel address as it appears on their website.
There's not much mystery, if your hotel accepts orders, just make a normal online purchase and enter the hotel's address instead of your home address 🙂
I hope I was helpfull!
Kiss
I loved the post! Very useful! Is there a high chance of being taxed on these purchases and makeup? Is the rate more or less how much?
Hi, Maria Vitória!
The chance depends a lot on the website you buy from (if the packaging is flashy, like a store), the size of the package, the quantity of things... Lately I haven't been taxed on anything.
The rate is calculated depending on your state, you have to look at the post office website. The national tax, if I'm not mistaken, is around 60% including shipping costs! Kisses
Hello! I loved your page! Could you do a review of the Morphe and Mac eyeshadows, to see if the refills and eyeshadow palettes from both brands are compatible?!
Contact:[email protected]
Grateful! Kisses
Hi, Alessandra!
I don't use MAC due to the company's animal testing policy, so I owe you a review comparing the two brands. Kisses!
Hello Alyssa, I loved the post and I already favorited it to always have this information. I would like to ask you if you know if it is possible to ask the stores by email to specify a lower value on the packaging in case of fees. I made a purchase at coastal and wanted to see if I could get it.
Hi Juliana!
I've seen reports from several people who asked for the box to come with a lower declared value, I try either via email or through the requests field before making the purchase... Personally, I've never tried it so I can't say if it works 🙂
Hi Alyssa,
I bought a Morphe 35 palette directly from the website as a gift for my girlfriend. I couldn't find any tracking code for this order. Do you know how I can track the purchase?
Thanks in advance.
Hi Rodarte!
Tracking depends on the type of shipping you chose. Check to see if you haven't received any codes via email or on the customer side of the website! If you still have questions, send an email to customer service or ask on social media and from what I've seen they respond quickly! 🙂
I loved it a lot, but I wanted to know if you know of any website that has more affordable Mac products, it might even be without direct delivery to Brazil, thank you in advance
Hi Beatriz!
The Brigettes Boutique website has a lot of discounted MAC stuff, take a look there 🙂
Hello Alyssa!! I want to buy makeup in the US to sell here in Brazil. I was looking at shopmissa.com. Do you know anything about it? Everything is very cheap there, and I also saw a lot of suitcase-type kits on the Walmart website in the US. Do you know of any other multi-brand websites that sell everything? Since I'm going to buy it to resell, it would be good to buy everything in one place so that shipping is cheaper and it comes in one package.
I would like you to give me a tip, I have an international prepaid card, will I have problems with having the purchase canceled because I use a Brazilian card even though it is international? Would paying via PayPal avoid the inconvenience that Carolina above went through?
Hi Telmo!
I've heard about this site but never bought it, but the prices seem great. Maybe only like Coastal Scents which has really cheap palettes or even AliExpress. Regarding prepaid cards, I've never used them for online purchases so I don't know if stores usually accept them. I've made several purchases with a Brazilian credit card on US websites to be delivered to Brazil and I've never had any problems with a canceled purchase, I believe this isn't a problem in most cases 🙂
Thank you for your visit!
Hi Alyssa, how are you? I looked at the website you recommended (Brigette's Boutique) and I thought it was really cool that they have the real there and I wanted to know if this value is already “converted”, right? Ps: I really love your blog 🙂 Kisses, Luisa
Hi, Luisa!
Prices are shown in reais (with the day's conversion, I imagine), but the card is charged in dollars! The amount may vary depending on how your bank calculates purchases in dollars, but in general you have to count the IOF rate and the invoice payment amount! Kisses and thanks for visiting!
Hi Alyssa!! Have you ever shopped at Beauaty Bay? I was looking at Morphe reeds and they are very affordable, is it reliable?
Hi, Heloisa!
My first expensive palette – Urban Decay's Naked 1 – I bought it there, I love the website, super reliable!
Hi Alyssa, I would like a recommendation for an online pharmacy in the US that sells supplements and vitamins, or perhaps if they have any compounding
Hi Lety!
Supplements and vitamins you can find at GNC – http://www.gnc.com/. I'm going to owe the manipulation because I really don't know 🙁
Hello!! Does Target deliver beauty products in Brazil? ? I find the website confusing!!
Does Nonpareil Boutique still deliver to Brazil?!! The prices are very good! !
I didn't know about the All Beauty website. I'll take a look. Maybe they'll start shipping to Brazil again!!
Hi, Miriam!
Target does not deliver beauty products in Brazil. Nonpareil delivers 🙂
Hey! I have a friend in NY, I want to ask her to bring some products for me, can you recommend a website with fast delivery directly to the hotel?
Hi, Daniella! Purchase by Amazon, delivery is super fast and they have products from several brands! Kisses
Hi Alyssa!
Do you know and can you recommend me any online stores that provide cosmetic products at wholesale prices to resellers with CNPJ? Thank you!!
Hi Luana! Unfortunately I don't know 🙁
Alyssa, how are you?
Have you ever bought anything from Sephora on the US website in Brazil? Like to import. I made a purchase, but I don't know if they ship it here and if they do, I don't know if it will be confiscated.
The timing of
Hi Fernanda! I've tried but they don't ship to Brazil. What you can do is buy and send to a redirection service, like shipito! And yes, it is subject to import taxes!
And do you pay any customs fees? I'm afraid if I buy and they charge an absurd fee, the price will be as expensive as the ones here in Brazil...
The fee is a matter of luck, sometimes you pay and sometimes you don't. I always do the math counting on the fees to see if it will still be worth it.
