Primers I use on my dry and oily skin
I find these two primers last a long time and are quite affordable. They sit well on the skin and create a smooth base for my foundation to go on
Face Primer Makeup - EU
Foundation
Foundation that sits well on oily skin. Lightweight and comfortable
If you have oily skin, this foundation is for you. It doesn't clog my pores and feels so light on my skin even though the coverage is so good.
Natural Beige 220 Fit Me Matte + Poreless Liquid Foundation - Maybelline | Ulta Beauty
I use this foundation when I don't feel like doing a full face of makeup, especially during the early mornings before college. It's so easy to slap it on and it makes my skin glow!
Light/Medium 550 Clean Fresh Skin Milk Foundation - CoverGirl | Ulta Beauty
Concealer
Good coverage concealers
I'm sure you've seen this concealer before, but it's popular for a reason. Coverage is amazing.

Powders
Cheap mattifying powders
This powder is SO cheap but so so good. My skin is quite oily but this powder makes it matte and blurred.
High Definition Pressed Finishing Powder Mini - NYX Professional Makeup | Ulta Beauty
Essence, alongside Maybelline is one of my go-to makeup brands. They're cheap but they're products aren't shit. I use this powder to colour correct and bake my makeup

Eyes
High quality cheap eyeshadow palettes

Lips
My favourite lipsticks
I love using NYX lip products. This one stays on my lips for the night and I don't have to constantly reapply. It doesn't make my lips feel dry either.

Blush&Contour
My go-to blush and contours
Honestly not too fussy with my blush. This is the cheapest one that I could find and it works well for me, it's pigmented and I like the slight shimmer it's got. I've been using this one for years
Cool Coral Pure Nude Baked Blush - Essence | Ulta Beauty
This contour has lasted me so long. You only need a dot and it spreads a lot.
