Everybody has seen the viral Shelby Ann drugstore makeup routine on TikTok by now. She has SOOO many recommendations that it can be overwhelming at the beginning. I have tried so many of the products and these are my favorites from her lineup!

Shelby loves an affordable tool to apply your makeup!! Here’s some of my faves. When it comes to other tools and brushes, I don’t have strong preferences!! Use what works for you for the rest of your application!
Never ever spend more than two dollars on a makeup sponge again. This outperforms even the original beauty blender brand. Plus, you can’t beat the price. Use this damp for best results!
Miss A Paw Paw Sponge
Shelby likes this one and one with much shorter bristles. I have tried both and this one I prefer because the foundation you apply with this doesn’t get on the brush handle and stays on the bristles! Use this to spread foundation on your face in a th...
Morphe - M107 Paddle Cream & Liquid Foundation Brush
This eyelash curler is more on the expensive side, but I have to agree with Shelby here! This works so much better than a traditional eyelash curler for my almond shaped eyes.
Shiseido Eyelash Curler
skin prep
Like Shelby always says, your skin should look like you can go “ice skating” on it before a drop of makeup touches your face
Shelby loves a number of milky toners for skin prep, but this one wins for me!! This one reduces redness on my face, especially around my nose over time. I am acne prone with sensitive skin and it is soothing and never breaks me out!
BYOMA Hydrating Milky Toner
I like to follow up my toner with a hydrating serum. This is one that Shelby recommends and my favorite that I have tried!! It makes my skin reflective!! This is the key to ice skating skin for me!! It is light weight and never pills under makeup.
BYOMA Phyto Mucin Serum
Okay okay, I know. Byoma this and that. But come on it’s for a reason!! This sunscreen still leaves my skin glowy without looking greasy or messing up makeup from underneath!!
BYOMA Liquid Face Fluids - SPF 30
This is the only grippy primer you need. Shelby lets this dry down after she applies it. If a brush sticks to your face when you put it on your cheek, it means it’s grippy enough and ready for makeup on top!
NYX Professional Makeup The Face Glue Primer
base
Shelby loves a blurred, smooth base. I agree with her and these drug store products are better than high end.
The best drugstore foundation. I started using this in high school and nothing beats it. This blends so easily and is good for my sensitive skin! Great coverage and skin smoothing! I love that it has a good shade range so everybody can find a good ma...

This is great for a no makeup makeup look or just for an everyday lightweight feel! There are also pleanty of shades in this one. If you are looking for a little less coverage, this is for you!
Makeup Revolution Skin Silk Serum Foundation
This is a great, creamy, medium coverage concealer great for everyday makeup. It blends great into any foundation!
Neutrogena Radiant Cream Concealer
This is a great option if you prefer a more full coverage concealer. This is very long lasting. Get the best coverage by using a concealer brush to blend!
L'Oreal Paris Infallible Concealer
This has a medium coverage and a serum like consistency. The applicator holds lots of product which I love. The most affordable option I have found!
Silky Blur Hydrating Longwear Concealer - Essence
creams/ liquids
To make your makeup last, you have to layer creams and liquids followed by powders. Creams can make or break how your powders apply on top!
This is a glowy, buildable blush that had quickly become my absolute favorite blush to wear every day!!

This is a gorgeous formula that Shelby likes to pick up from the stick and apply with a brush onto the face. So many cute colors to pick fromb

This is the perfect bronzer for summer. It leans on the warmer side and gives a natural sunkissed bronzed look.

If you prefer a liquid, this is a very blendable option that is easy to control with a brush
ColourPop Liquid Bronzer
powders
Follow up creams and liquids with powder versions of the products to make it last ALL DAY
This technically has a cream in it, but it has a regular powder blush and a shimmer blush topper. This has a great value with 3 products in 1. They blend like a dream and are truly high end performing.
