10 Drugstore Makeup Must-Haves

Let's just all come to the agreement that makeup just isn't cheap! Sometimes brands really take advantage of the amount they make us pay because they know we will pay for the brand name. Drug store products don't get the hype they deserve! Everyone would rather pay $40 for a foundation when it could easily cost you $15 or less for something that could do the same thing or a $20 lipstick when there's $10 or less for lipsticks that are just as beautiful. Don't get me wrong splurge on what you want but maybe give the drug store option a chance to the job and still save you money! Here are 10 drug store products I use on myself and recommend for you to give a try!
Moisturizer & Primer
Moisturizer
The Aveeno Moisturizer is a 2 in 1 moisturizer that helps fight acne, which is one less thing you have to worry about! It contains a soy complex to improve skin tone and complexion which makes your face look healthy and rejuvenated before applying the primer.
Primer
The Maybelline Primer is a water based primer that has active ingredients to help refine your look and allow your skin to keep makeup in place from morning to night. This primer is weightless and allows your makeup to look smooth and brings out your inner glow!
Foundation, Concealer, Blush, & Bronzer
Foundation
No7 Foundation is a matte foundation that gives a flawless look once applied. The foundation is suitable for all skin types even the most sensitive ones and provides a lightweight feel!
Concealer
The Maybelline Concealer is full coverage which is great that way you don’t have to keep applying anything more than once which saves time! Since the concealer is full coverage it removes dark under eye circles and helps diminish puffiness. It’s also a perfect size that can easily fit in your purse in case you might need to retouch later in the day. Not to mention its a twist applicator which means no mess (huge win)!!
Bronzer
Honestly the Physicians Fomula Bronzer is nicely pigmented and so natural looking once on the face, I highly recommend this! It’s really budget friendly and provides long lasting wear. This bronzer also has a hint of shimmer which helps give that finishing glow.
Blush
The Milani Blush has such a beautiful soft pink color that enhances your cheeks and gives them a natural rose color touch. This blush gives your skin a flattering touch of color without overpowering the look.
Eyes & Brows
Eyeshadow
The Physicians Eyeshadow Pallet is THE BEST pallet out there! It has 12 gorgeous colors that range from shimmer, mattes, and satin colors that can give you the best outcome for your looks! These colors can be used for day time and night time looks.
Brows
No7 Eyebrow Pencil has an angled tip that gives you the best ability to shape your brows to your liking. It also has a brush on the other side to make it easier and faster to do your brows without having to use as many brushes plus you could easily put it in your bag for a later use.
Finishing Spray
Neutrogena has such great products and this setting spray has to be one of them! This spray contains antioxidants & peptides which helps keep your skin healthy. It also lightweight and is designed to protect and prolong your makeup (which hello!!! that’s what we all want lol)
Lips
This lipstick has such a beautiful color and doesn’t dry your lips! This collection offers so many beautify colors that could fit any look.
