My go-to makeup products that are actually worth the hype!! I have dry skin, and I’m super picky about what makes it into my makeup routine. I’m always looking for products that have a great shade range, actually show up on deeper skin tones, and leave my skin looking glowy and hydrated instead of dry or cakey. And as a broke college student, I definitely don’t have the money (or patience 😭) to keep buying products that end up sitting untouched in my makeup bag. Whether it’s a drugstore find, a viral product, or a splurge that’s genuinely worth the extra money, everything on this list is something I think delivers. These are my favorites for getting a smooth, glowy base and makeup that actually looks good on my skin (without wasting your money on products that don’t work)!
