concealer
favorite drugstore concealer, full coverage, easy to blend, longwear, great for oily skin
Infallible Full Wear Concealer up to 24H Full Coverage
low price, good quality,many shades medium coverage, great for begginers or no makeup-makeup looks
Fit Me Oil-Free Concealer- Maybelline
hydrating, good for dry skin, medium but buildable coverage, lasts long and blends easily, not to mention the affordable price
True Skin High Cover Concealer - Catrice Cosmetics
high coverage, longwear, can be a bit dry but perfect for oily skin, one of my favorites
Conceal + Perfect Longwear Concealer - Milani Cosmetics
foundation
has medium coverage but leaves skin looking clean and radiant, best for normal to dry skin types
Bourjois Healthy Mix Foundation
the best drugstore foundation for oily skin, !not the glass version (which is more for normal to dry skin), has great coverage and stays matt for longer paired with a good setting powder (look for my recs on powders)
Infallible Pro-Matte Foundation Makeup - L'Oréal Paris
blush
best topper blush, has a shiny finish that looks beautiful in the sun, buildable color
Milani Cosmetics- Powder Blush
very pigmented stick blush, easy to use and blend, doesn’t pick up the foundation underneath, in my experience better than rare beauty
Makeup Revolution Fast Base Blush Stick
simple, easy to use, blendable, pigmented, affordable, i tried it and loved it
Cheek Kiss Cream Blush - Milani Cosmetics
cheap but very pigmented and has shine, better than some high end blushes
AirBlush Glow – www.catricecosmetics.com
mascara
my holy grail mascara, can be for everyday or with more layers for full glam looks; stays all day and doesn’t smudge, tear and sweat proof; it’s a tubing mascara so it might be harder to remove so i suggest removing with warm water
Lash Sensational Sky High Waterproof Mascara - Maybelline
sister product of sky high, i personally do not see much of a difference between these two, i use both, comes in a brown shade so it can look natural, the wand is better for hitting the lower lashes and gives the lashes a bit of a curl, it’s easier ...
Lash Sensational Washable Mascara for Lashes - Maybelline
it’s best for dramatic, full glam, night makeup but can also be used as everyday mascara, no smudging, makes lashes long and adds volume, easy to remove
Eye Makeup Panorama Washable Mascara | L'Oréal Paris
bronzer
seamless blend, no spots and doesnt remove the foundation underneath
Cheek Kiss Cream Bronzer - Milani Cosmetics
pigmented powder bronzer, can go on top of a liquid bronzer or be used on it’s own, great quality for price and lasts a long time
Catrice Sun Glow Matt Bronzer 035
setting and baking powder
the best drugstore setting powder, good for all skin types but does wonders for oily skin, any other setting powders i’ve tried can’t compare to this one
Stay Matte Pressed Powder | Rimmel London
these revolution loose powders are everything you need to set your makeup in place or to keep it matt
Makeup Revolution Loose Baking Powder
lip liner
these catrice liners are by far the best ones i’ve tried, they stay on a long time compared to other liners, you can eat drink and still have your liner on, they also have a sharpener inside for more precision, however they are almost always sold out...
Lip Liner - Catrice Cosmetics
creamy, precise, long lasting liners, they come in many shades, simple, perfect and easy to use
Lip liners and Lip contour pencils - Kiko Milano
also good liners that stay on and come in many different colors
Lip Liner - Rimmel London
setting spray
smells nice, fixes your makeup, good for natural or dewy finish
Fixing spray - AURA COSMETICS
i swear by this one, my makeup artist recommended it to me a while back and i always reach for it on the shelf, it fixes your makeup, it doesn’t feel tight on your face and keeps you looking fresh all day
Rimmel London Lasting Finish Fix & Go Setting Spray
lipstick and gloss
the best one on the market, stays on forever, you can eat and drink all day, has a shiny finish which i absolutely love and is easy to apply and precise
Super Stay Vinyl Ink Long-Wear Liquid Lipstick - Maybelline
hydrating, shiny and glittery, i use it as a topper after lipstick, but can be used on its own or over some lip liner
Lip Glosses: softening, glossy and creamy - Kiko Milano
