Luxe dupes, essentials, and even unexpected finds that are available at drug stores and big box retailers.
A soft creamy stick pairs with a massive shade range for a drug store offering. These foundations can also double for concealer and contour meanwhile they're less than $15 each. 👀
Essence FOUNDATION stick
Available in both pot and tube form, I prefer the pot as the liquid formula is a tad thin. Sets easily with setting powder and doesn't shift with wear.
Under Eye Brightener
This has been one of my staples since it came out in the 2010s. The lightweight texture is perfect for me. The only complaint I have is that I'm the darkest shade which leaves a lot of skin tones out.
Dream BB Fresh® BB Cream with Sunscreen
At $10 this dual ended brow pencil features a trianglur tip for broad strokes and a micro tip for precision hair placement. While I do wish they offered more color range options, it's a solid entry into the drugstore beauty niche.
