The Best Of Drugstore Makeup

PRIMER: e.l.f Poreless Putty Primer– This primer is the BOMB. There are days I use this over some of my high-end primers. This primer is perfect for smoothing and giving the illusion of smaller pores!

FOUNDATION: L’Oreal Infallible Pro Glow Foundation– My mom actually got me hooked on this foundation, lol. I love how it is available in ‘glow’ and ‘matte’. I use the glow in the cooler months and the matte in the warmer months! I like to have several shades of foundation on hand for when I spray tan or am naturally more tan, like in the summer but try not to break the bank doing so. I love that I can purchase 2-3 shades of this to keep around because it’s so affordable!

CONCEALER: L’Oreal Infallible Pro Glow Concealer- This concealer is great for the warmer months because it’s consistency is on the thin side, making it lightweight! No cakey eyes here! 

POWDER: Wet n Wild Photo Focus Loose Setting Powder- I purchased this about six months ago because the packaging reminded me of the Laura Mercier ‘Translucent Loose Setting Powder’, but with a completely different price! I have repurchased several times and don’t know if I will ever go back to using Laura Mercier. You can’t go wrong with Laura Mercier powder but this is a great affordable alternative!

BRONZER: Maybelline City Bronzer- I am very picky about my bronzer. In my opinion, bronzer can make or break your makeup! I have used some in the past that definitely broke my makeup, lol. I remember coming home for Christmas break my freshman year of college and my mom making a comment about my bronzer! I was so unaware I was looking like Snooki and changed up my routine! My all-time favorite drugstore bronzer I swear by is this! It’s really nice and won’t make you look like Snooki, lol!

BLUSH: Maybelline Fit Me Blush- I am not super picky about blush and for years have used the same one (linked here). This blush in combination with the Wet n Wild Reflect Shimmer Palette, creates a very similar look to the iconic Nars blush.

HIGHLIGHT: Wet n Wild To Reflect Shimmer Palette– This product really surprised me! The prettiest pink glow!

EYE SHADOW: Revlon ColorStar Creme Eyeshadow– I live for a great cream eyeshadow! Years ago, Christian Dior made the most fabulous cream shadow, and just like everything great, they discontinued it. I have tried many cream shadows hoping to find the perfect replacement and this one came close! I also really love the L’Oreal ‘Colour Riche Eye Pocket Palette’! I will use the darker shades in my crease along with the Revlon ‘ColorStar‘!

EYELINER: Covergirl Exhibitionist Eyeliner– I am no makeup expert and eyeliner is where I am the most flawed! I loved a Covergirl liner but it was discontinued shortly after I discovered it. I have been using this liner when I want a softer, more natural look.

MASCARA PRIMER: L’Oreal Voluminous Lash Primer– The best lash primer! I have used this primer for years and years! I swear by it! It really helps my (nonexistent) lashes look longer and more full!

MASCARA: L’Oreal Voluminous Curved Brush Mascara– When it comes to mascara, I am super picky about the wand. I can’t be the only one right? I prefer using the winged wand (not sure if that is what it’s called) and this mascara has that wand and does wonders! One of my all-time favorite mascaras is the Dior ‘Iconic Overcurl Mascara‘ and I feel this mascara is a great ‘dupe’ for the Dior! I find that I have a lot of fall out when I apply mascara on my bottom lashes so I use a waterproof mascara which makes a huge difference!

SETTING SPRAY: Wet n Wild Photo Focus Rose 3-IN-1 Primer Water & Makeup Revolution Sport Fix Extra Hold Makeup Fixing Spray- Oh my! The Rose 3-IN-1 Primer is the bomb! It smells amazing and is extremely hydrating! I spray on my face prior to makeup application and it helps keep my makeup in place all day! The Sport Fix spray is legit. If you need your makeup to last all day and stay in place perfectly, this is your new favorite product! I have used this spray before a workout and my makeup stays perfect. It’s GOOD. 

LIPSTICK: Maybelline Color Sensational Creamy Matte Lip Color– This has been my go-to lipstick for the past few months! The color ‘peach buff’ is the prettiest peachy/pink. I struggle with matte lipsticks because I feel most of them are drying but this one is not! Available in many colors!

LIP LINER: Maybelline Color Sensational Shaping Lip Liner– This is liner is great! I love how the applicator rolls up vs. sharpen! My favorite color is ‘dusty rose’.

LIP GLOSS: Revlon Super Lustrous Lip Gloss– This gloss is so nice because it’s not too tacky but tacky enough! Really pretty color with some added glitter. Available in many colors.
