Are you struggling to find makeup products that last and work great without breaking the bank? If so, you’ve come to just the right place! I personally know how tricky it can be to achieve a glamorous makeup look on a budget. So, in this post I will be sharing with you all my favorite, go-to, drugstore makeup products as well as their price, and where you can pick them up for yourself!
To start, I feel like it would be helpful for me to tell you a bit about my skin type, makeup preferences, ect. Naturally, my skin is very dry, sensitive, and acne-prone. I have a pretty uneven complexion with some discoloration and texture. Because of this, I usually prefer more full coverage products. I also have very fair skin and blue eyes so I tend to like wearing copper and neutral shades on my eyes.
Foundation
My all time favorite foundation from the drugstore is the Maybelline Super Stay Full Coverage foundation. This foundation can be purchased at almost any drugstore, and is $11.99. It is by far the best coverage I have received from a foundation and it lasts all day and wears great. Unfortunately it has a very matte finish, which is tricky with my dry skin, but I find that when I moisturize really well before applying it I usually love how it looks. In the winter I wear shade 110 but in the summer when I have a bit of a tan I can get away with wearing 120. I think this foundation would be perfect for anyone with normal, combination, or oily skin because of the matte finish but like I said, even if your skin is super dry you can make it work if you hydrate your skin before hand.
Mascara
When it comes to mascara I look for one that provides volume, length, and curl. I found my holy grail mascara about 4 years ago and have never used a different one since! I am absolutely obsessed with the Mega Length mascara by Wet N Wild. It is one of the only mascaras I have ever used that holds my lashes up all day long. The quality of this product is amazing but the price is even better! You can pick up this mascara at almost any drugstore for around $4. I highly recommend this product if you have trouble keeping your lashes curled and look for something that lasts for a long time.
As you can tell, I have a lot of problems with my skin and I struggle finding products that work for me within my price range. I hope this post gave you a couple ideas on some staple products and maybe you’ll try them out for yourself! Always remember that you are beautiful with or without makeup, however I know we sometimes want to enhance our natural beauty and I think makeup is the perfect way to do that. Stay happy, healthy, and beautiful!
Happy, Healthy Beauty
