Drugstore Fall Makeup That Looks Way More Expensive Than It Is
15
items I love a Sephora trip as much as anyone, but fall makeup is one category where the drugstore is honestly SO good. These are the affordable berry blushes, brown lip liners, burgundy mascaras and moody little eye products I’d buy when I want my makeup ...
SEVEN dollars for this blush is honestly ridiculous. Berry Well gives you that deeper flushed-cheek look I immediately want once fall starts, and the pigment means you genuinely need the tiniest dot. I’d blend this out really well and let the berry t...
e.l.f. Camo Liquid Blush, Berry Well, 0.13 fl oz
WAIT because this is THREE DOLLARS. Berry liner is one of my favorite ways to make a basic eye look feel more fall without doing anything complicated. I’d smudge this right along the lash line with a little brown shadow and mascara. It looks so much ...
e.l.f. Smoky Kohl Eyeliner - Berry Necessary - 0.03oz: Paraben-Free, Vegan, Pencil Form
I know I already love this for fall, but it HAD to make the affordable list too. Burgundy Haze gives your lashes this really pretty wine-toned softness that feels way more interesting than regular black mascara but is still completely wearable during...
Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Lengthening Mascara - 793 Washable Burgundy Haze - 0.24 fl oz
I actually had to double check that this was $2. Espresso Martini is exactly the kind of deep brown liner I want for fall, and the creamy formula makes it easy to blend instead of leaving you with a super harsh outline. Add literally any nude gloss y...
Cream Glide Lip Liner - e.l.f. Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
Berry Cola!!! This shade name alone convinced me to investigate and the color is exactly what I hoped it would be. It gives you that deeper berry-brown lip that feels so right with fall makeup, but you can sheer it out instead of committing to a full...
Signature Lip Pencil - Morphe | Ulta Beauty
If liquid blush scares you because one accidental extra dot turns into a full situation, get a powder blush instead. Wine is such a pretty fall shade because it gives you that deeper rosy flush while still being easy to control. This is the one I’d r...
Fit Me Blush - Maybelline | Ulta Beauty
A true drugstore classic and still one of the easiest ways to try a darker fall lip without buying an entirely new lipstick. I’d line my lips with this, soften the edges with my finger and put a balm or gloss over it. Suddenly you get that gorgeous b...
NYX Professional Makeup Slim Lip Liner Pencil, Citrine, Sand Pink, Nude Beige, Nude Truffle, Pale Pink, Peekaboo Neutral, Nude Pink, Coffee, Ever, Hot Red, Plum, Nutmeg, Mahogany, Cabaret, Brown, Burgundy, Auburn, Natural, Espresso, Currant, Mauve, Prune, Bloom, Rose
If you want the expensive-looking brown lip without going SUPER dark, Brown Caramel is the one I’d choose. It has enough warmth to define your lips but still blends beautifully into nude lipstick or gloss. This is exactly the kind of shade I’d wear c...
L'Oreal Paris Blurfiller Lip Liner Sculpting Lip Pencil Blurring Lip Contour - 535 Brown Caramel - 0.02oz
Throwback product but Budapest still makes SO much sense for fall. It's a deeper mauve-red that gives you the moody lip without feeling like you're wearing an intense traditional lipstick. I especially like this with really simple eye makeup and flus...
NYX Professional Makeup Soft Matte Lip Cream, lightweight liquid lipstick Budapest, 0.8 Oz
Bordeaux is basically fall in lip-liner form. It's rich, wine-toned and SO pretty when you blur it inward instead of creating a super-sharp line. I would pair this with a rosy balm or gloss and let some of the deeper liner show around the edges. Easy...
Milani Color Statement Lipliner, All Natural, Spice, Nude, Bordeaux
This is for my actual DARK brown lip-liner girls. The triangle shape is surprisingly useful because you can use the pointed side to define the edges and the wider side to shade some color inward. I love a product that makes it easier to fake the perf...
Love Triangle Lip Filler Liner - e.l.f. Cosmetics | Ulta Beauty
The shade name Berry Goth tells you everything you need to know lol. I love this smudged around the outer lash line instead of used as a super-perfect eyeliner. It gives your eyes that soft, slightly smoky berry definition that looks like you did an ...
NYX Professional Makeup Epic Wear Liner Stick - Long-lasting Eyeliner Pencil - 6 Berry Goth - 0.043oz
Rich Chocolate is for when I want the brown lip liner to actually LOOK brown. I’d pair this with a lighter nude lipstick or gloss so you get that pretty contrast through the center of the lips. This is such an easy way to make products you already ow...
Color Sensational Shaping Lip Liner - Maybelline | Ulta Beauty
For anyone whose lip liner mysteriously disappears halfway through dinner. I specifically like ColorStay for a deeper shade because if I'm putting on a wine lip, I would prefer it not migrate or vanish immediately. Such a classic product, but honestl...
ColorStay Lip Liner - Revlon | Ulta Beauty
Ending with one of my favorite affordable fall makeup swaps. Deep Burgundy is subtle enough that no one is going to stare at your lashes wondering what happened, but it makes your eyes look softer and warmer than a super-black mascara. If you're burg...
L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Original Washable Bold Eye Mascara, Deep Burgundy
