Favorite Makeup Products that won't break the bank !

items This is a list of my favorites-- a good mix of drugstore brands and higher-end brands, but nothing TOO unreasonable. As a student, I appreciate products that wear beautifully but don't hurt my wallet. If you also like a multi-tier mixture of products...

Base
Primer, Foundation, Concealer, Etc.
Fills in any stingy pores, smoothing and creamy, but not too waxy and thick. Love!
The POREfessional Face Primer
My FAV foundation-ish product. The hyaluronic acid keeps my ezcema prone skin from drying out in the wintertime, but it's not too oily in the summer time. It glides on in a thin, hydrating layer, but it can also build for a more full-coverage look. P...
True Match Hyaluronic Tinted Serum - L'Oréal Paris
A stunning, affordable concealer that is thick enough to get the job done, but silky enough to avoid creasing around the under-eye. I often wear this without foundation for a natural look. Throw on some pink blush and mascara for a simple glow!
16-Hour Camo Full Coverage Concealer
Face
Bronzer, Blush, Highlight, Etc.
I LOVE this bronzer! Although you may pay a bit more for it, the iconic Hoola box holds tons of product and will last you so long! Minimal fallout upon swatching means that you don't lose product in the application process. It also comes in a mini si...
Hoola Matte Bronzer powder bronzer for face
For a cheaper alternative, this warm bronzer is stunning and will not break the bank. With a firmer press, fallout is minimal, leaving you with a glow that will last for a very long time.
Milani Silky Matte Bronzing Powder
I'm sure you've all seen the hype surrounding Selena Gomez's beloved Rare Beauty blush. This liquid blush is vibrant and extremely blendable, so a little truly goes a long way. It comes in many gorgeous colors for the major blush fans and the more su...
Rare Beauty Liquid Blush
This is possibly my FAVORITE blush I've ever tried. For a reasonable price, this blush is super pigmented and will give you a stunning, buildable color that brings your face to life! My fav shade is Sweet Pea, which has a fairytale-esque little shimm...
Blush - Makeup - Ulta Beauty
A gorgeous, shimmery blush that is velvety smooth and super vibrant on the skin. Definitely for the blush lovers who want to save a little coin!
Milani Blush
You NEED this highlighter in your life and on your cheekbones STAT!!! Makeup Revolution makes a blindingly beautiful highlighter that is easy on the wallet. I have used this highlighter for years, and I haven't found a better choice for a concentrate...
Liquid & Powder Highlighter
Eyes/Brows
Mascara, Eye Products, Brows, Etc.
The only mascara I have used for the past 5 years AT LEAST. The black tube is for the darkest black mascara that is certain to give you a dramatic edge to your makeup. The pink tube holds all the other shades, including the brown color, which is perf...
Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara - Maybelline
If you want an easy way to tame your brows a bit while still going for a more natural look, Boy Brow is for you! Take 10 seconds to brush through your brows for a quick and gorgeous routine.
Glossier Boy Brow
A quick clear brow gel and mascara for mess-free mornings on the go!
Clear Brow & Lash Mascara
Since coloring my hair red, I've needed a way to get a more red-toned brow look without dying them. With this pigmented, precise pencil, I have been able to add just enough auburn to my brows to blend in some red tones. The pencil is sharp, but the b...
Perfect Brow Pencil
My FAV eye product. If I ever want anything on my eyelid, this is my go-to above eyeshadow, eyeliner, etc. I always get compliments when I wear it!!
Shimmer & Glow Liquid Eye Shadow
For a cheaper alternative to the Stila Liquid Eyeshadow Glitter, this ELF brand liquid glitter gives almost the exact same look! I find it to be a bit more of a shimmer than a chunky glitter look.
E.L.F. Liquid Glitter Eyeshadow
Okay, this is officially my new makeup obsession! This burgundy color is stunning against my multicolor hazel eyes, and it is the perfect shade between ginger and dark brown so that it compliments my red hair without clashing. LOVE!!!
Sky High... IN BURGUNDY!

Chapstick, Lipstick, Etc.

Anything else to add to your gorgeous makeup routine!
If you want something more subtle than highlighter that is icy and soft for the wintertime-- this is the ultimate glimmer for you! I wear this product as a highlighter for my face, but it can also be used as eyeshadow, chest shimmer, etc. This leaves...
