Ive listed my favorite, affordable drugstore makeup and skin prep products that I’ve used throughout the year
i use this before i put my makeup on everytime, it leaves my skin so hydrating and just seeps into your skin so effortlessly
Phyto-Mucin Glow Serum
i never skip out on this product whether i’m wearing makeup or not, wearing spf on your face is so good to keep your face looking youthful
Daily Facial Moisturizer with SPF Protection
BEST BROW GEL EVER! I’ve never been passionate about a product but this is amazing. I’ve slept over 12 hours and ran miles with it on in horrible humidity and it never budged.
COMBAT BROWS 30ML
great alternative to the combat brow gel, only bad thing is it takes a little while to dry
Eyebrow Glue Instant Brow Styler - NYX Cosmetics
elf products are not for everyone based on the brief brand ambassador, matt rife, everyone will do what they will with that information, but this product works really well, blue is more for non sensitive skin and pink is for sensitive skin/oily
Power Grip Primer
this is a great alternative to the elf power grip primer, it has the same potential as elf but better
Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Gripping Primer
another great alternative to the elf primer, the first time i used it didn’t break me out
Grippy Serum 24-Hour Hydrating Gripping Primer
in the summer i use two primers, this and the maybelline grippy serum, in the texas heat and humidity spf is a life saver, but this product is great alone and gives great grip
Blurscreen: Primer with SPF | NYX Professional Makeup
best brow product i have used yet! the strokes with the 4 fork tip is so natural if used lightly and the fine tip is also great to outline the eyebrow although advertised for eyeliner
UCANBE Dual-Ended Eyebrow Pen with 4-Fork-Tip & Gel
has a fine, non waxy tip so it gives great brow like strokes and has a great shade range
Micro Brow Eyebrow Pencil | NYX Professional Makeup
such a great, full coverage concealer with amazing shade ranges, personally use this concealer for carving my eyebrows and under eyes
Turn Up The Base Butter Silk Concealer
Ive tested so many foundations, this is top tier! It never fails me, it never looks cakey.
True Match Super-Blendable Foundation - L'Oréal Paris
this is a great alternative if you don’t like the feeling of foundation, this product is buildable and leaves your skin looking flawless
Conceal + Perfect Blur Out Skin Tint
So creamy, very affordable, buildable, variety of shades, and can be found at ulta
Contour Stylus Contouring Stick
very easily buildable and blendable
Halo Glow Liquid Contour Wand
Buildable but also the right amount of pigment depending on the look you’re going for
Blush Makeup: Liquid, Powder and Cream
very blendable, very intense blush so it goes a long way, recommend to put it on the back of your hand and dab some into your brush, finger, or beauty blender
Buttermelt High-Pigment Blush | NYX Professional Makeup
these blushes are pigmented and goes a long way, they have matte and glittery/shimmer versions
Earth-Toned, Natural Cheek Liquid Blush
Technique will determine how it ends up looking. A little bit goes a long way if you let it sit for a minute or two. I use two concealers: Neutrogena and L’Oreal. I use Neutrogena close to my foundation shade and L’Oreal in two shades lighter to give...
Healthy Skin Radiant Cream Concealer
As I said in my Neutrogena concealer post, this is one of two concealers I use. These 2 blend seamlessly together and I never go a day without using these.
Infallible Full Wear Concealer up to 24H Full Coverage
another great alternative for bronzer, on the cheaper side, and gives the best sunkissed bronze
Murumuru Butter Bronzer | Light Bronzer
very cheap but very high quality, it gives the perfect glowy bronze
Color Icon Bronzer | Palm Beach Ready
before putting setting powder i always put pressed powder all over my face and this is one that has worked for me for years
Clean Fresh Pressed Powder | COVERGIRL®
when i want a bright undereye this is my go to setting powder, you can layer it to get a more pink pigment and it won’t look cakey
PHOTO FOCUS LOOSE SETTING POWDER | SOFT PINK
after putting pressed powder on my face i go in with mixing two setting powders, this one and the kimchi chic setting powder in translucent, and it gives me such a smooth base
HD Flawless Loose Setting Powder - Flash Photography-Friendly
this is the second setting powder i used mixed with the new york hd powder that gives me a flawless base
PUFF PUFF PASS SET & BAKE POWDER - 03 Translucent
i have recommended this product to so so many people and it’s a miracle worker but it is a “high end” product
All Nighter Waterproof Makeup Setting Spray
i’ve been using this for years and its last so long, so good, and melts my makeup together so well
Makeup Setting Spray - Matte
this stuff is so so so good and works just as advertised, this setting spray is viral and for good reason, but of course it works for some and not for others
L'Oreal Paris Infallible 3-Second Setting Spray
if you’re on makeuptok (makeup on tiktok) you’ll know this product is miracle workers miracle along with their setting/pressed powder
