As a broke college student, I try to look for the best and most affordable items in the drugstore because everyone deserves to feel pretty. These are my favorites!
This powder is super fine and blurs REALLY well, I use it daily! The pink one also color corrects and brightens, great for the undereye area!
Catrice Bright & Blur Loose Setting Powder 020
The pressed version of their soft blur loose powder! Great on the go to quickly touch up, blurs nicely, and doesn’t get patchy
Catrice Soft Blur Matte Airbrush Powder
GUYS THIS IS AMAZING, LIKE ACTUALLY. The coverage is so good, it’s lightweight, breathable, and blends sooo nicely on the face. Also pretty longwear!
Maybelline Super Stay Lumi-Matte Foundation
Doesn’t settle into fine lines, color corrects perfectly AND affordable! This does the job just as well as the high end ones
Catrice Under Eye Brightener & Color Corrector
ANYONE can find a shade in this foundation line! It lasts well throughout the day, and super affordable
L'Oreal Paris True Match Super-Blendable Foundation
Not really a fan of foundation? This tinted sunscreen is a good alternative! Mind the undertones, though
Anthelios Mineral Tinted Sunscreen for Face SPF 40-50
SUCH GOOD COVERAGE!! This was my first ever concealer and I’ve used it for over 3 years, a little goes a long way with this concealer, so it’ll also take you a loooong time before you finish this lol
L'Oréal Paris Infallible Full Wear Waterproof Concealer
So. Many. Shades. There’s an ideal lip color FOR EVERY SKIN TONE! Wear it as it is, or let it sit for a bit and wipe, and have a GORGEOUS stain that lasts hours!
This setting spray feels like hairspray on the face 😭
But the makeup is going NOWHERE after spraying this, NOWHERE.
L'Oreal Paris Infallible 3-Second Setting Spray
Very buildable concealer, and it’s hydrating! If you have dry undereyes, this could work for you, and it had minimal creasing :)
Bare With Me Concealer Serum | NYX Professional Makeup
This gives you a pearly glow without looking greasy. I like using this under makeup to boost radiance, and you can use it as a bronzer sometimes depending on your skin tone! Pretty decent as a primer too
L'Oreal Paris Makeup True Match Lumi Glotion ...
This is a moussy lip and cheek product, it’s VERY similar to the Fwee Pudding Pot! Its SOOO pigmented, you don’t need a lot, and the texture is pretty fun
Maybelline Cloudtopia Blush & Lip Mousse
Thinking of buying a bronzer! Look no further, this wears SO nicely and blends without struggle. Super creamy and pigmented!
Soft Glam Cream Bronzer Stick
A dupe of Armani Luminous Silk foundation! The shade range is pretty decent, it’s very dewy, and silicone based.
Revolution Skin Silk Radiant Satin Serum F0
Everybody and their dog has praised this primer, and rightfully so! Super sticky and your makeup gets practically glued to it, also allegedly a dupe for the Milk makeup grippy primer
