I, like many others, cannot afford to buy high-end makeup! Like, ever! These products work the same IF NOT BETTER than some high-end products! (These are considered drugstore products!!) Most if not all of these are affiliated with Amazon at no addit...

FOUNDATION;)
I, personally, rarely wear actual foundation! I hate the way it sticks on my face. Most of these are super lightweight/light coverage :)
“Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filter” DUPE!!!
MCoBeauty Flawless Glow Luminous Skin Filter
“Drunk Elephant D-Bronzi Anti-Pollution Sunshine Drops” DUPE!!!! Mix this in with your moisturizer for a subtle glow – or into your “Flawless Glow Skin Filter" from MCo Beauty :)
MCoBeauty Super Glow Bronzing Drops
Has good reviews. I'm not a huge fan of the thicker consistency. I think I'm a light-coverage kinda gal
L'Oreal Paris True Match Foundation
Oh. My. Gosh. This triggered nostalgia for me. I've had the same bottle for probably close to 10 years. Anyway, totally works as a foundation! Again, a little thick + dry for my liking.
wet n wild Photo Focus Dewy Liquid Foundation
This is a “foundation” AND concealer from Milani!
Milani Conceal + Perfect Liquid Foundation Makeup
CONTOUR/BRONZER;)

“Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Contour Wand” DUPE!!
MCoBeauty Instant Contour Cream Bronzer
Another SHEGLAM rec...haha!

For a thicker, creamer texture that smoothly glides on the skin :)
Snatch 'n' Define Stick
CONCEALER;)
One of my favorite makeup steps. Concealer is a game changer for me, as I have pretty dark eye circles/under eyes.
I'll be honest, I'd say this is one of those products that you can tell is drugstore. But hey, is still works. And it's really not bad.
Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Dark Circles Concealer
Gotta be careful with this one! The formula is actually quite thick for a concealer. Not my favorite, but will certainly get the job done.
e.l.f. Hydrating Camo Concealer
Listed for $7 on Amazon.
THESAEM Cover Perfection Tip Concealer
BLUSH;)

e.l.f. Sheer For It Blush Tint/ Lip and Cheek
I hate how much I love SHEGLAM…
SHEGLAM Color Bloom Liquid Blush Matte
HIGHLIGHTER;)
My ultimate favorite makeup step in all time and space. Where would I be without highlighter?
"Charlotte Tilbury Beauty Light Wand: DUPE!!!
MCoBeauty Highlight & Glow Liquid Highlighter
The glitteriest highlighter I have ever experienced btw!! And it is more of a glitter – and less of a solid shine.
Physicians Formula Diamond Dust Highlighter
This liquid highlighter is one of my absolute favs – it is more of a solid, consistent color which I love.
e.l.f. Halo Glow Highlight Beauty Wand
THIS is my all-time FAVORITE highlighter! I have never used anything that works quite like this from SHEGLAM. It is SO shiny.
Glow Bloom Liquid Highlighter-Vanilla Frost
POWDER;)
Personally, I have to be careful with powder, because I don't think I know how to use it properly. It's often too dry and flakey when I use it. I still use it often though, because it does help to look less greasy!
For a subtle OR drastic stain/color for the face!!
e.l.f. Sheer For It Blush Tint, Lip and Cheek
I love peel-off lip stains. They fuel me.
SHEGLAM Fall In Line Peel Off Lip Liner
The fanciest looking lip gloss, in my opinion.
Lip Treatments - Lip Volume
EYES;)
Ever try the “Eyemaxing Trend”? It's where you use the color wheel, and put on certain colors of the color wheel onto your eyelids (and whole face, really) to enhance the color of your eyes!
Charlotte Tilbury Luxury Palette DUPE!!!!
MCoBeauty Ultra Luxe Eyeshadow Quad
Prettiest colors; highly pigmented vibes
SHEGLAM Eyeshadow Palette 9-Color
I have always sucked at any eyeshadow. If you have any tips and/or tricks, feel free to let me know!
evpct 10 Colors Nude Rose Metallic Matte Palette
Are you KIDDING? Just wait 'til you see this ON.
Sacheu Liquid Eyeshadow
My first palette of over 10 years is till usable. I'll just leave it at that.
wet n wild Color Icon Eyeshadow Makeup
Keep in mind, these are the AFFORDABLE makeup options. They work as makeup, but they may not be the best formulas. I would say the same about this palette. The powder does the job, but it's not super great.
