Another throwback but also very relevant product is the fitme pressed powders. I love these, they really blur the face and give such a seamless look. There is a shade for absolutely everyone. It's also under £10 🤑

This was the first ever bronzer I found worked really well on my skin. It gives a natural lift to the face and is super easy to apply to the face and blend.
🤍SHEGLAM Liquid Bronzer🤍

I bought this product in Paris for €15. There is a bronzer / contour and blush / eyeshadow colours. Even though there are only 3 different shades, these can be used for sooooo much. They also have different shades for different skin tones.
🤍Kiko Milano - Face Palette🤍

This is my HOLY GRAIL!!!! All you need is to tap your blush brush on top of this and the product pigment is INSANE. This product will literally last AGES. I also love dabbing this on my lips for some colour that will stay on all day. It's also cheap ...
🤍Revolution - Jelly Blush🤍

This is an OG teenage staple, but I still use it to this day. This product had everyone in a CHOCKEHOLD back in the day. But as they say 2026 is the new 2016 so add this into your makeup looks. It's on this list because it's also £5 🤑
🤍Revolution Heart Highlighter🤍

Budget Eye Products 🤑

I still use this on the daily. Not only can it be used on brows but also eyelashes. It hold the brows in place well and I also use it for slick back hair styles. It's also under £5 🤑
🤍Collection Clear Mascara + Brow Gel🤍

This product is only £3! Such an absolute steal. I've repurchased this countless times and the shade range is extensive. It even has a brush and lasts a long time.
🤍Elf - Instant Lift Brow Pencil🤍

Elf has a number of this style of palette. Not only are they super pretty but also so easy for travel and under £5. I personally LOVE brown eyeshadows but there are loads of other colour schemes
🤍Elf - Glitter and Matte Palettes🤍

Although over £10, this mascara is the closest drug store brand mascara that comes close to higher end brands. This curl mascara creates such a gorgeous fan effects and doesn't clump.
🤍Maybelline Curl Mascara🤍

This is my favourite lip product from the drug store. MUA absolutely slays with all of their products. My current fave shade is cherry kiss which gives the most gorgeous deep burgundy shade. They smell delicious and are only £3 🤑
🤍MUA HYDRA JUICE PEPTIDE LIP BALM🤍

Another MUA lip product I love is their lip oils. There's a number of different shades but I love these pH reactive ones that change colour depending on your pH and give such a natural colour to suit your skin.
🤍MUA - Lip Oil🤍
