Drugstore makeup is amazing!!! If you’re looking to ball out on a budget, this list is for you. I’ve listed a lot of dupes for high end competitors.
Staple in my kit, and I choose these over any high end options.
Micro Brow Eyebrow Pencil | NYX Professional Makeup
I prefer using clear gel so it doesn’t get too messy!
Eyebrow Glue Instant Brow Styler | NYX Professional Makeup
The best primer if you want your skin to look hydrated and you want your makeup to last! Just be careful not to pair with a silicone based foundation.
Power Grip Primer | Sticky Gel + Hyaluronic Acid
Have been using this on myself for over a decade, and is the best for covering pores and smoothing out texture.
Poreless Putty Face Primer - elf Cosmetics - EU
No joke I have been using this since high school. Nothing compares! Really effective with adding length and volume. Can get clumpy so make sure to thin out the brush a little.
L'Oréal Paris Voluminous Mascara, Carbon Black
My favorite drugstore option if you don’t love wearing foundation, but still want a little coverage for evening out skin tones! Make sure to give it a good shake before applying.
True Match Nude Hyaluronic Tinted Serum Foundation
Compatible to high end options with a great shade range. Medium coverage.
True Match Super-Blendable Foundation | L'Oréal Paris
Personal fave for a drugstore powder bronzer. Easy to blend!
Silky Matte Bronzing Powder
Perfect for a glowy finish on the cheeks
Baked Blush - Milani Cosmetics
Favorite matte blush
Highly Pigmented Buttermelt Blush in 12 Shades
Has worked on all skin types for me with great coverage without feeling too thick.
Bare With Me Concealer Serum | NYX Professional Makeup
Just as good as high end, and you can’t beat the price point.
wet n wild Mega Last Matte Lip Color Semi Matte
Great shade range and also really good for bridal.
Lip Liner - Creamy, Long-Lasting Formulas
The best if you want hair like strokes. Definitely a bit of a learning curve but I’ve personally been using this on my brows for years.
Lift & Snatch! Brow Tint Pen
Heavy duty hold for makeup that you need to last all day! Heads up it might feel like you’re spraying yourself with hairspray at first but it is so worth it haha.
L'Oreal Paris Infallible 3-Second Setting Spray
Dupe for the Charlotte Tilbury setting spray. Great for melting products together.
Makeup Setting Spray & Setting Powder
My most recommended bridal lip product!!
Lip I.V. Hydrating Lip Gloss Stain
Truly cannot go wrong with a big palette from Colourpop. Allows you to get a ton of shades at a great price point. I have a lot of neutral tones and color shadows from them in my kit! I personally love Stone Cold Fox, Smoke ‘N Roses, and Fade Into Hu...
Shop Eyeshadow Palettes | Bright, Bold Eye Makeup
Most used strip lashes in my kit for a more natural look.
Naked Lashes 420, 4-Pairs
My favorite for tight lining the eyes.
Maybelline Tattoo Studio Waterproof Gel Pencil
Use this religiously in my kit! Great at lengthening and pairs well with false lashes.
Mascara | Lengthening, Volumizing & Waterproof
Dupe for the Rare Beauty blushes!
Camo Liquid Blush - e.l.f. Cosmetics
Great for sculpting the face on a budget! Good shades.
