Thirst Burst Drops Brightening Serum | e.l.f. Cosmetics
Total dupe for the Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter! Affordable, glowy, and smooth. I love how it gives my skin a filtered effect. Sometimes I'll use this without even adding foundation just to even out my skintone and give a glow 🤭
Halo Glow Liquid Filter Complexion Booster | e.l.f. Cosmetics
Why is nobody talking about this?! Drugstore prices are astronomical these days. Wet N' Wild stays inexpensive but this skin tint acts expensive!!! 💲🤑. She's HYDRATING, DEWY, and STAYS PUT! I would consider this medium coverage as well. It evens ou...
Bare Focus Tinted Hydrator Tinted Skin Veil | Porcelain - Wet n Wild
This concealer is great for hiding blemishes and spots. I use these even on "no-makeup" days as it blends so well into my skin.
Pro Fix Stick Correcting Concealer - NYX Cosmetics
LYS who? This is all you need my friend! Bronzer and blush all in one cute package. The BUTTERY formula gets me every time. Also this smells like a TROPICAL VACATION 🌴. BLENDS out in seconds 🙌.
Physicians Formula Butter Glow & Go™ Multiuse Stick, Sunkissed ...
Best drugstore powder by-far!! I use this every single day to set my makeup. This finely milled powder will lock down any look while still leaving your skin looking hydrated 💦💧. As someone with dry skin, this is my go-to powder 🙌
Maybelline Fit Me Loose Finishing Powder, Medium Deep, 0.7 oz
I use this on top of my foundation to add extra coverage! It gives a beautiful subtle glow to the skin while adding coverage. I love to use it just below my cheekbones to define my contour 🙌. A gorgeous soft powder. Elf has done it again 😍.
e.l.f. Halo Glow Powder Filter, Rich Warm, 0.35oz
When I tell you this is my favorite bronzer, I really mean that! I have a lot of bronzers and therefore rarely hit pan on any of them but I genuinely used ALL of this. It is incredible. Drugstore or not, it's amazing 🔥🙌
Buttermelt Bronzer: Long Wear Powder Bronzer - NYX Cosmetics
I swear this is a dupe for the hourglass highlighters!! This is buttery smooth on the skin. Gives a lit from with-in glow as if your skin is just naturally dewy and plump! Essence is so inexpensive too, you really can't go wrong with this one ☺️

Eyes
I don't even bother with other primers! This is hands-down the best eyeshadow primer for my oily eyelids. If you've tried high-end ones and haven't had luck, you've got to try this one!!
Stay Put Eyeshadow Primer - Milani Cosmetics
My go-to for a one and done eyeshadow!! I use the color 710 blended all over my lids. I even use the built-in brush to apply and buff this out. I truly couldn't ask for a better eyeshadow; Creamy, blendable, crease-proof, and GORGEOUS!! 🌟⭐️
ColorStay™ Crème Eyeshadow - Revlon
I have used this mascara nonstop for over a year now because nothing beats it!! Length, volume, and it lasts all day long 🔥. Truly an incredible mascara.
L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Panorama Mascara
If you have blue eyes you MUST try the burgundy shade! It will make your eyes pop!!! The formula is fantastic. I find it to be more of a dry formula which I love because it builds nicely. Bristle brushes also tend to give more volume 🙌💙
L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Original Washable Bold Eye ...
Lips
The BEST drugstore lipliner for cool-toned skin! Not too brown, not too pink. The absolute PERFECT neutral shade for fair skin. I sometimes use this all over the lips and top with a gloss. These liners last quite a long time and glide on the lips wit...

The most comfortable matte lipstick at the drugstore! I use the shade "Skinny Dip." I love to dab it in the centre of my lips and blend outward for a blurred look 😍

Better than Rhode 🙌. Non grainy, super sleek plush formula!! High-shine finish and very nourishing 🙌. Did I mention they smell fantastic?!

Swipe and laminate!! Best brow product for the laminated look. As someone with notoriously hard-to-hold eyebrow hairs, this does the job and does it well! Holds my brows all day long. I use the clear shade and it's lovely. It goes on nicely without g...
