As a 28-year-old student who works part-time, I don't really spend too much on makeup, but I do have my favourites and I like to keep it simple and as affordable as possible! I listed all the things I use/have used that I liked, from different price ranges

Everyday Look
Very hydrating formulas, good for everyday and natural looks!
I use the black non-waterproof version for more relaxed and laid back days. Keeps the curve and doesn’t leave clumps
Great at setting your makeup!
You do have to reapply after some hours though, so I only use it for everyday looks
Powder - Pixi Beauty Powder Foundation, Contour & More
I have only used the Glow Mist. Love the smell and texture, it definitely gives you a subtle glow for the day!
Glow Mist - Pixi Beauty
Amazing for everyday look! The texture is super creamy and glowy
Orgasm Afterglow Lip Balm | NARS Cosmetics
Hands down my FAVOURITE mascara in the entire world. Super affordable and does the job: volume and definition
Lash Princess False Lash Effect Mascara
Full coverage but buildable and thin formula! I use the shade NC25
Pro Longwear Concealer – Full Coverage - MAC Cosmetics
This baby lasts almost the whole day <3 I always combine it the Rare Beauty blush “Worth” tone first and then put this Revolution blush on top. Hands down my fav combination.
Blusher Reloaded Pink Lady | Revolution Beauty
Nice gloss, affordable and love the different shades!
Lip Plumpers - Sephora
High-end Makeup
Even though it says “full coverage”, it’s completely up to you! I always build it according to my needs
Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra 24H Long Wear Matte Foundation
Bought it because it's the favourite of many celebrity MUA's and I think it's totally worth it. It has perfect coverage and leaves your skin extra smooth. Kind of pricey, so I would only use it on special ocassions.
Luminous Silk Natural Glow Foundation - Armani Beauty
Ridiculously good. You won't even see texture or pores anymore with this setting powder.
