drugstore makeup that could fool me
15
items makeup i wouldn’t guess was drugstore once on my face
I generally hate matte lipsticks, but somehow this one has remained an exception. It still settles into my lips and feels a little dry because, well, it's matte 😭 but nowhere near enough to bother me the way most matte lipsticks do. It lasts really ...
Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick - 8 Hour Wear
Revolution makes really good eyeshadow for the price. The pigmentation is there, they last well, and they have approximately nine million palettes to choose from. I wouldn't say the formula is indistinguishable from high-end eyeshadow, but I've used ...
Shadow Palettes | Eye Makeup - Revolution Beauty
My go-to bronzer and one I keep repurchasing. It's not extremely pigmented, but it's very buildable, applies evenly and never looks patchy on me. I've also seen it in so many makeup artists' kits
Bronzer: powder or liquid, stick and palette | KIKO
One of my favorites when I want a more hydrating lipstick. It feels really comfortable, leaves my lips smooth and it has nice subtle sheen without actually looking glossy
Hydra Shiny Lip Stylo - KIKO
I have literally napped in my makeup while wearing this and woke up with it still looking good 🫡
Facestudio® Lasting Fix Matte Setting Spray - Maybelline
This makes completely matte makeup look dewy without making it look greasy. It doesn't do much in terms of actually setting my makeup, but the finish it leaves is gorgeous
Revuele Makeup Setting Spray Fix And Dewy 120ml
Holds my brows in place for the whole day
Got2B Glued 2 in 1 Wand Eyebrow Gel
I have both palettes and I am ride or die for these. The pigment is insane, but they're still really easy to apply evenly. The packaging is adorable too. I genuinely don't want another blush
Blush Crush 9 Color Blush on Palette - Level Up | RUDE
Really pretty subtle highlighter for the price. It blends into my makeup really well instead of sitting obviously on top of it
Highlighter Makeup | Illuminising Liquid and Powder
I've tried a few of their mascaras and I genuinely prefer them to other brands. They're buildable, don't flake on me, and most importantly, none of the ones I've tried have given me spider lashes
Mascaras: volumising, lengthening and strengthening - KIKO
They are creamy, smooth, easy to apply and last really well. One of my makeup artist friends keeps these lip liners in her kit
Lipliners - AURA COSMETICS
The gloss itself is perfectly good, but I'm mostly here for the packaging. It's so girly and I feel ridiculously cute every time I use it. And I swear that half of the female population has one of these 😭
3D Hydra Lipgloss - KIKO
Very even and fades gradually without leaving patches. It does pull pretty orange though 😭 I didn't mind because I mainly wanted a darker base under my foundation, but I wouldn't choose this for a natural-looking tan
FACIAL BRONZING SET | LIGHT TO MEDIUM
I love this for everyday makeup. It gives my skin a glowy finish and works really well under makeup. I think it looks best in a thinner layer, so I wear my regular sunscreen underneath and apply this with my hands like a moisturizer, which takes no t...
Eucerin Sun Pigment Control Tinted Medium Gel-Cream SPF50+ 50ml
Intense black, and it doesn't smudge on me
Kohl&Contour Sharpener #Black 1,14 Gr
