Lips
A matte balm that feels like a soft mousse on the lips - lightweight, comfortable, and never drying. One of my most-used products last year. Also great for a quick, minimal eye look.
NYX Smushy Lip Balm
A plumping lip oil with a twist - it actually has pigment, so it looks beautiful on the lips while adding shine and hydration. It gives a slight tingle for that plump effect; if you’re sensitive to that, you might want to test first, but it’s definit...
L'Oreal Lip Oil
A drugstore favorite for years.
NYX Butter Gloss
Shake well before use - once it sets, it doesn’t move. Perfect if you love glossy lips with long wear.
Maybelline New York Superstay Vinyl Ink
One of the most affordable drugstore liners that delivers great performance. Its matte formula dries quickly but blends beautifully, making it easy to match with any makeup look while providing a precise, long-lasting finish.
Essence 8H Matte Comfort Lipliner
Face
Soft, buildable warmth that melts into the skin - a rare drugstore bronzer that looks natural and blends effortlessly, even on fair tones.
Catrice Melted Sun
My favorite concealer for years! Lightweight, long-lasting, and won’t settle into fine lines around the eyes. It provides natural coverage while keeping the skin feeling fresh and comfortable all day. Perfect for a flawless, effortless look.
NYX Bare With Me Concealer
Not an everyday setting spray, but unbeatable when you need extreme hold - survived 40°C, 8+ hours, sun, tears and a concert.
L'Oreal Infaillible Setting Spray
Silky, creamy formula that blends like a dream, leaving a natural, radiant finish without looking cakey. Lightweight and long-lasting, it’s perfect for adding warmth and dimension to your face all day.
Physicians Formula Butter Bronzer
Locks makeup in place and makes everything apply beautifully.
NYX Glue Primer
Proof that great quality exists at this price - beautifully blurs the skin, perfect for enlarged pores
Wet n Wild Photo Focus Loose Setting Powder
Budget-friendly, easy to blend, and buildable - perfect for blush lovers.
Essence Baby Got Blush
Gorgeous, creamy blush that gives your cheeks a natural, radiant glow - easily one of my favorites in my collection. Often compared to Rare Beauty blushes, it delivers the same stunning finish at a much more affordable price. Just a heads-up: handle ...
Eveline Liquid Blush
This is literally a serum in the truest sense! One of my favorite drugstore finds. It has a luminous finish, feels super lightweight on the skin and looks really natural. With proper setting, it even survived a concert in 40°C - I honestly don’t know...
Wet N Wild Serum Foundation
I really like this one! The matte version gives great coverage without feeling like cement on the face and there’s also a dewy version if you prefer a more luminous finish. The only downside is a slightly unusual scent, but otherwise it’s fantastic. ...
Photo Focus™ Matte Foundation
Maybelline Skin Tint honestly doesn’t feel like a typical tint at all - the coverage is surprisingly good. It evens out the skin beautifully, lasts a long time and still feels lightweight and comfortable. All of my other makeup applies perfectly on t...
Super Stay Skin Tint
Another phenomenal drugstore concealer that doesn’t settle into fine lines under the eyes. It comes in multiple shades, including color-correcting options to help neutralize different tones on the skin. The only downside is that it tends to run out a...
Maybelline Instant Anti-Age Eraser
Another phenomenal drugstore bronzer that looks absolutely stunning on the skin. Its powdery texture applies like butter, creating a smooth and radiant finish. It’s also perfect for a quick eye look when you’re in a hurry. Just be sure to apply it wi...
NYX Buttermelt Bronzer
Eyes
For brows that actually look like brows… even when I struggle 😆. NYX Eyebrow Marker saves the day!
Lift & Snatch! Brow Tint Pen - Natural & Precise
Minimal effort, maximum effect. Longer, fuller, perfectly defined lashes - that’s why this mascara is in my favorites.
Lash Without Limits
Can’t go wrong with any of them! Pigmented, blendable and super easy to work with, even if you’re not a pro at blending. Perfect for experimenting and having fun with color.
NYX palettes
A great dupe for the Patrick Ta palette, but way friendlier on the wallet. This palette has both powder and creamy shades, which you can easily apply with your fingers for a quick, effortless look. With so many colors to choose from, everyone can fin...
Eyeshadow Palette
Essence eyeliners - I’ve added a few different options, but honestly, whichever one you choose, they’re phenomenal. I’m not someone who applies eyeliner perfectly, yet these make it so much easier. They’re extremely precise, great for practice, and v...
