Makeup Factory is one of those brands where what you pay often depends on which store you happen to walk into. For the week of September 15–22, 2026, we went through every Makeup Factory listing on TajPrice across Iraqi retailers and ranked the products by the size of the gap between the cheapest and the most expensive store. The result is six items where a few minutes of comparison turns into real money saved.
The quick math first. If you buy these six products at their best listed prices this week, the total comes to about 147,500 IQD. Buy the exact same six at the highest listed prices and you pay 166,000 IQD. That is 18,500 IQD of difference for identical products, identical shades, identical packaging.
1. 
Makeup Factory Color Intuition Lip Balm
Price spread: 19.0 percent — the widest on this week's list. Best price: 21,000 IQD. Available at: 5 stores. Price range: 21,000 to 25,000 IQD.
A nourishing tinted balm that hydrates while leaving a soft hint of colour, which is exactly why it sells quickly in the daily-use category. The 4,000 IQD gap between the cheapest and most expensive store is also the biggest cash saving on this list. If you go through a balm every couple of months, this is the product where checking two or three stores before buying pays off the most.
2. 
Makeup Factory Even More Volume Mascara 01
Price spread: 17.4 percent. Best price: 23,000 IQD. Available at: 5 stores. Price range: 23,000 to 27,000 IQD.
A volumising mascara that coats each lash for a fuller, longer look. Mascara is a repurchase product — most people replace the tube every two to three months — so a 4,000 IQD difference per tube works out to roughly 16,000 to 24,000 IQD a year if you keep buying from the expensive store. That is a strong argument for a two-minute price check.
3. 
Makeup Factory Luminous Serum Foundation
Price spread: 16.4 percent. Best price: 27,500 IQD. Available at: 6 stores. Price range: 27,500 to 32,000 IQD.
A lightweight serum foundation with buildable coverage and a natural glow. This one has the most stores carrying it (6), which usually means more competition and sharper pricing — yet the spread is still 4,500 IQD, the largest cash gap in this week's list. Shade availability does vary by store, so if your shade only exists at a mid-priced retailer, factor that into the decision.
4. 
Makeup Factory Dream Eyes - Black Doll Eyes
Price spread: 13.0 percent. Best price: 23,000 IQD. Available at: 6 stores. Price range: 23,000 to 26,000 IQD.
An eyeshadow with smooth application and strong colour payoff. With 3,000 IQD between the cheapest and priciest store, this sits in the middle of the list — a solid saving, but not a dramatic one. If you are already placing an order with the cheapest store, adding this costs you nothing extra in effort.
5. 
Makeup Factory Velvet Mat Lipstick
Price spread: 7.0 percent. Best price: 21,500 IQD. Available at: 5 stores. Price range: 21,500 to 23,000 IQD.
A matte lipstick with intense colour payoff and a velvety finish. The 1,500 IQD gap here is modest, so this is not something worth making a special trip for. Still, if it is already on your list, the cheapest listing is the obvious choice.
6. 
Makeup Factory Baking & Setting Powder 01
Price spread: 4.8 percent — the tightest of the week. Best price: 31,500 IQD. Available at: 5 stores. Price range: 31,500 to 33,000 IQD.
A lightweight setting powder that controls shine and locks makeup in place for a smooth matte finish. At only 1,500 IQD between stores, pricing is fairly consistent across Iraq this week. Compare if it is convenient, but do not expect a big win here.
How to get the most out of this list
First, confirm the shade or variant before you compare prices. A cheaper listing for a shade you never wear is not a saving, it is wasted money. Second, factor in delivery. If a store is 500 IQD cheaper but charges 3,000 IQD for delivery, the cheaper option is not actually cheaper. Third, check stock before you commit. Prices on TajPrice are live and updated, but popular shades sell out quickly. Fourth, remember these figures cover September 15–22, 2026 only. Makeup Factory prices in Iraq move week to week, and the store that was cheapest last week is not always cheapest this week.
The bottom line
This week the biggest wins are in lip and eye products, where spreads of 17 to 19 percent mean savings of around 4,000 IQD per item. Foundations sit in the middle, and setting powder is priced tightly at under 5 percent. If you are restocking more than one product, the smartest move is to build a single order from the store that gives you the best total, not just the best price on one item.
