I share recommendations for affordable drugstore makeup- products that work well and are more than worth their price. Things I tried, tested, and would actually repurchase.
Â
I won’t ever stop recommending this because it’s so good and cheap. Feels lightweight on the skin and last a whole day without creasing or getting cakey. Hydrates the under eyes so it’s very dry skin friendly if you have a problem with finding a hydr...
Bare With Me Concealer Serum | NYX Professional Makeup
Â
If you had to buy one products on this list, this would be it. Works just like the huda beauty powder for me. Blurs my skin and gives me the most flawless base. Never getting high end powders after trying this
Photo Focus Loose Setting Powder
Â
This product shouldn’t be as cheap as it is. Dupe for the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow freeze(It’s literally the same thing). Keeps the brows in place all day.
Brow Lift - e.l.f. Cosmetics
Â
Perfect for summer and lasts me so long. Gives me a bronzy finish without looking muddy and also has a highlighter on the other side. The shade medium is perfect for summer is you have fair skin like me and get a little tan
Wonder™ Stick Contour and Highlighter Stick
Â
Here’s the primer I use right now and love. Haven’t seen anything about it online but it works just like the high end ones. My makeup sits beautifully on top of it, never separates. Will be repurchasing.
The Vitamin C Fresh Glow Primer
Â
A versatile 16-shade palette with warm beige, peach, bronze and brown tones (both mattes and shimmers) that can take you from natural daytime looks to soft glam evenings. Great value for the price.
Has all you need in an eyeshadow palette.
NYX Professional Makeup - Ultimate Color Shadow Palette Warm Neutrals
Â
A beautifully pigmented blush that gives you a warm, glowy finish that looks more expensive than it is. One of the best affordable makeup finds. Gives a healthy flush, works well on medium-to-deep skin tones too, and very wallet-friendly.
Baked Blush
Â
I only use waterproof mascaras and this has been the best one. Love the volume and lift it gives to my lashes without falling down through out the day because of the waterproof effect.
Very Black Lash Sensational Waterproof Mascara - Maybelline
Â
The glow this gives to the skin is insane. Charlotte Tilbury dupe that looks and blends the same for the quarter of the price. Best of the drugstore blushes.
A color-corrector under $5 that tackles dark circles, redness, etc. Good budget find for base makeup.
Great for prepping skin, especially before foundation, and keeps your base affordable.
Camo Color Corrector Concealer
Â
Perfect for adding warmth to the skin and a little color. I reach for this everyday because it’s very pigmented and can be used as a subtle everyday look or a full glam.
Buttermelt High-Pigment Blush | NYX Professional Makeup
Â
Favorite affordable brushes that I use daily. You can use the brush 200 for the whole face of cream products and that is why it’s my favorite out of them all
Real Techniques
Â
Blends my makeup all together beautifully and hydrates the skin. It is 24 hour wear and keeps the makeup for the whole night. Love love love

Â
Been gate keeping this for too long. This covers everything without feeling tick or heavy ok the skin. It’s super lightweight with medium to full coverage, can be easily built up.
Mega Last Incognito All-Day Full Coverage Concealer
Â
A budget-friendly highlighter that gives you a beautiful glow without the high-end price tag. Soft shimmer, nice pigmentation, and works great on its own or layered.
Love for both everyday and full glam makeup looks.
