Drug Store Recommendations
This holds my makeup very well and allows it to last for hours. I don't typically enjoy the feel of it alone but when combined with makeup the sticky feel goes unnoticeable.

Pillow Talk Push Up Lashes! Mascara
I was initially skeptical of this brand, but later ended up liking their products. One of my favorites from Il Makiage is their moisturizing primer. The primer feels just like moisturizer and keeps my skin hydrated even after wearing a full face of m...
