Must have makeup (mostly drug store!)

17 items

As a single mom, my budget is tight lmao so most of my makeup here will be drug store makeup! However, every now and then I like to treat and spoil myself so a few name brand items will be listed as well! I’ll separate them inside this list if I can...

I stand by this primer 100%! I have been using it for yearsssssssss and I never change it! I’ve tried others but no other primers hydrate and prime my face like this. It’s a super sticky (idk how to describe it lmao) but hydrating and makes my skin f...

Power Grip Primer | Sticky Gel + Hyaluronic Acid

I’ve been using this concealer for like 3 years now, I get it at my local Five Below lmao but it gets the jobs done! It has pretty good coverage with one use but if I add a little more it really covers those tiny imperfections! I do think it dries me...

Ultimate Cover Concealer

I love how creamy their formula is in this wonder stick!! I honestly only use the contour side and not the highlight side but it slides on so smoothly and blends beautifully!! I get it in shade light/medium 🫶🏽

Wonder™ Stick Contour and Highlighter Stick

Okay so I am OBSESSED with this mascara!!! My lashes struggle to hold a curl even with waterproof mascaras but this mascara actually holds my curl with just one coat! After two coats, my lashes legit look like falsies!!! Especially when I take my tim...

Colossal Bubble™ Washable Volume Mascara

I use this probably everyday at this point and I’ve had it since April! I use one coat on each brow and then blend it out. It’s so nice when I’m in a rush and don’t have the time to fill in my brows with a pencil, plus it keeps them in place! The for...

Maybelline Tattoo Brow

This blush is super easy to blend and it is VERY pigmented! I’ve used this blush for a year and it’s now my go to. I have the shade Red Flag and it is the perfect red! It gives me such a nice glow as well once blended in! Definitely try it out!

Urban Decay Hydromaniac Dewy Liquid Blush

I love the wand on this mascara and I love love LOVE the formula! It’s not chunky and not watery, it is literally the perfect consistency! However, it doesn’t really hold my curl, but again, not many mascaras hold my curl in general! I still love thi...

This eyeliner is seriously amazing! It has two ends, one side long and one side short and my wing stays on ALL DAY LONG!! It doesn’t smudge AT ALL and it is so easy to apply. I have this eyeliner in brown!

stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner

My mom bought me this eyeshadow for when I travel and it is seriously so creamy and easy to blend! I blended with a brush and my finger and both ways worked really well! It’s pretty pigmented but I did add two or three layers of it before I liked the...

I went into Ulta looking for my usual Elf setting spray (still great!) and I happened to take a peak at the MAC counter and saw this setting spray. Something told me to try it so I bought the travel size and I LOVE IT!! It doesn’t feel sticky in my f...

Fix+ Stay Over Alcohol-Free 24HR Setting Spray

I ran out of my name brand setting powders that I received as a gift and I bought this at 5 below. It works well, and it definitely corrects in the needed areas. I do think it dries me out a bit but not sure if that’s my skin or the product tbh.

Pro Setting Brightening Loose Setting Powder

My forever go to setting spray! Not only is it affordable, but it definitely keeps my makeup in place! It does make my skin dewy, maybe even oily, but nothing too bad tbh. Worth the $7.

Makeup Setting Spray and Facial Mist

10/10 blush!!! Totally worth the money! It’s pigmented, easy to blend, and a gorgeous shade!!! I wear it everyday and I think it’s time for me to get a new one!! It seriously gives you the perfect pop of color for your cheeks!

This sunscreen blends naturally into your skin tone!! It’s so perfect for on the go days where foundation or concealer is not an option! Sunscreen protection and concealing in a light and natural way is a great combination! It does make me feel a bit...
