An affordable glowy base! Great size and you do not need to apply a lot. It gives a beautiful glow that last throughout the day. Oily skin will need to repowder - which I usually do in my T zone areas.
I swear by this finishing powder! It blurs like no other! It makes your pores disappear. I apply it after my makeup is complete in my T zone areas or where my biggest pores are. I love it and definitely miss it in my routine if I were to not have it!...

This concealer is creamy and buildable with medium to high coverage. I absolutely love the creaminess! It kind of reminds me of the og Maybelline fit me concealer but much better. A little goes a long way as well. I do set it with hourglass veil tran...
My go-to lightweight loose powder! Not fond of the heavily baked under-eye look and this doesnāt do that. Just keep in mind under-eye care/skincare is important! I do recommend using a color corrector for under-eyes bags prior to concealer and this p...
Honestly, these are one of the best affordable lip liner at the drugstore. Many colors and nudes to choose from. I like that it is a wood sharpened pencil. I wouldnāt say they last the longest but affordability and color selection trumps that!

Great drugstore lamination for brows! Only con with all of these brow gels is it gets clumpy and runs out fast but that is inevitable. Helps keep my brows look fluffier and in place throughout the day.
