1.
NYX Butter Gloss- These are the
creamiest and most pigmented glosses around! I usually find mine at Target or
Ulta for around $5. The color range is amazing from nude-pink-deep reds. If you
are looking for a no fuss gloss that isn’t sticky then these are the glosses
for you. My personal favorite is Crème Brulee which is a great nude.
2.
Real Techniques Brushes- Best
drugstore brushes around. These are available at Ulta prices from $5.99+. These
brushes are created by YouTube guru Samantha Chapman. You can also buy these brushes in Faces or
Eye sets. The brushes do not shed and are super soft. I also am a HUGE fan of
their Makeup Sponge which is comparable to the beauty blender for ¼ of the
price.
3.
Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Dark Circle
Eraser- My go to under eye concealer. I use shade light to highlight my
under eye area. This is a light weight formula that gives great coverage
without creasing. Available at most drugstores for around $7.
4.
L’Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black Mascara- By
far my all-time favorite mascara of life. I have tried a million high end and
drugstore mascaras and to me this is the blackest, most thickening and
lengthening mascara available. The key to this product is to buy the product
and then open the tube and let sit for 2 weeks so the formula dries out a
bit. I never have transfer or flaking.
Available at most drugstores or Ulta for $7.
5.
MAC Prolong Wear Concealer- Now this
is a high-end concealer that runs around $18 for a bottle. This concealer gives maximum coverage and is
great to use with a facial moisturizer to create a light weight daily
foundation. I also use this when I want to look super flawless under my eyes
and to conceal redness. The only flaw is that this has a pump that always pumps
out way more than is needed. If you are looking to splurge on a high-end
concealer I would try this out.
6.
Covergirl Stay Fabulous 3-in-1 Foundation
and Primer- If you have oily skin or combination skin this foundation
will last through a whole work day and then some. I apply a primer underneath
only because I am super oily. I wear shade Buff Beige. I do notice some
oxidation with the product so I would advise getting a shade lighter. If you
want a full coverage foundation than this product is for you.
7.
Revlon Color Stay Foundation- This
is another Holy Grail foundation I have fallen in love with and repurchased
several times. This foundation has a wide shade selection as well as 2 formulas
available for oily combination skin and dry skin. I wear shade 180 Sand Beige.
This foundation is very long wearing and full coverage. Available at drugstores
and Ulta for $9.
8.
Rimmel Exaggerate Full Color Lip Liners-
I don’t wear lip liners a whole lot but I do feel this is one product that
doesn’t need to be purchased high-end always. I like this formula because they
apply smoothly and come in a pencil form that is able to just roll up instead
of sharpen-this is great for travel or your purse. My favorite color is a deep
red in Ravish. These are available at drugstores or Ulta for around $4.
9.
Maybelline Line Stiletto Ultimate Precision
Liquid Eyeliner- I find myself going back to this eyeliner continuously
not only is this inexpensive but the color is truly black. I do not have issues
with this liner transferring onto other places or smudging off. I only have to repurchase this twice a year
obviously does not dry out very fast. This is a felt tip liner and great for
creating winged liner. Available at most drugstores or Ulta for around $6.
10.
Maybelline Color Tattoo 24 hr Eye shadows-
These are amazing eye shadow bases or they can even be worn alone without
creasing. Amazingly creamy formula that blends easily and dries without
tackiness. I love these for long wearing looks or if you want something extra.
My favorite colors are bad to the bronze and tough as taupe. Available at
drugstores and Ulta for $6.
11.
Urban
Decay De-Slick Oil Control Makeup Setting Spray Travel Size- Now I know
that the full-size of this product is actually $30 but the travel size is only
$14 and works great for your purse or travel. This has totally transformed the
longevity of my makeup and keeps my oil under control for easily 6 hours. Great
for a touch-up midday or right after application. Available at Ulta or Sephora.
12.
L’Oreal Magic Soufflé Blush- This is
a cream blush that is very light weight whipped formula that blends well and
dries to a powder finish. You do not have to add a powder blush on top of this
product but I usually do just because I have oily skin. My favorite color is
angelic which is a light peach. I apply with an elf stippling brush (#16) over
my foundation and a little goes along way with these cream blushes. Available
at drugstores or Ulta $8.
13.
Sonia Kashuk Undetectable Crème Cream
Bronzer- This is a drugstore dupe for the Chanel an de soleil cream
bronzer. You can find this only at Target stores or online for around $13. If you are like me and love wearing a matte
bronzer in the summer than this is for you. There are a few shades to choose
from and you only need a little bit of product. I usually use this for my contour
in the summer months.
14.
L’Oreal
Colour Riche La Laque and La Matte Lip Stick- If you want a no fuss no
muss lip stick these are amazing. I like the matte and laque formulas both are
long wearing and the color pigmentation is amazing. They are in a roll up pen which
makes on the go application super easy. Available at drugstores and Ulta for
around $7.
15.
NYX Powder Blush- These blushes are
highly pigmented and come in a great range of colors. They are long lasting and
you barely need to dip your brush in some colors. My personal favorites are cinnamon
(bright orange) and terracotta (dusty peach). Available at Target stores and
Ulta around $6.
16.
E.L.F. Cosmetics Brushes- This is
another affordable brand of brushes range between $1-$6. Not all of the brushes
are great but there are a lot that are. My favorites include small stipple
brush, blush brush, and powder brush (like a flat top kabuki). Available online
or at Target Stores.
17.
Revlon Brow Fantasy Brow Pencil-
This was a Holy Grail product of mine for years before I started using the Anastasia
DipBrow Pomade (#18). I still keep this pencil in my purse for touch-ups but I
do not use to fill in my brows daily. If you are looking for a good brow pencil
from the drugstore I would suggest this product. Not only does this have a
pencil end it also has a colored brow gel. Available at Ulta and most
drugstores for $7.
18.
Anastasia DipBrow Pomade- My newest
favorite brow product. I use an elf angled brush (#16) to apply. This comes in
a few shades and allows you to apply a lot or a little. This is a waterproof
formula that allows your brows to stay all day without any smudging. Available
at Ulta or Sephora for $18. I use shade chocolate.
19.
Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil-
Now this product hits the $20 mark but you can also get smaller pencils in sets
for around the same price throughout the year. I have not found a better liner
that doesn’t smudge or run in my water line. I haven’t tried several drugstore
options but all do not stay put as well as this pencil. I wish they were
available in a roll-up form. Available at Ulta or Sephora.
20.
Wet N Wild Single Shadows and Trios-
These eye shadows are quite the gem of the drugstore. They apply so creamy
without a lot of fallout and the pigmentation is better than any other
drugstore shadow. Usually run around$2-$4 for singles and trios at Wal-Mart.
