My Top 5 Drugstore Makeup Products

September 2, 2016 |

I work in a makeup store, so I'm surrounded by high end beauty products in pretty packaging all the livelong day. Believe me when I tell you that I'm often tempted to buy everything in sight! Obviously that's not the best idea on a college girl's budget, so I have to be careful. Luckily, I've discovered some great drugstore beauty buys that don't break the bank! For this week's Friday Faves, here are my 5 current favorite drugstore makeup products:

My top 5 drugstore makeup products to keep you looking your best without breaking the bank!

Maybelline “The Falsies Push Up Drama” Mascara

You can read about my love for this mascara on my Mascaras Worth the Hype post. It's one of my favorite drugstore makeup products of all time, because it gives such great coverage at an amazing price. This mascara is great for adding volume and making lashes appear really thick and dark. Cost: Under $10.

Revlon Ultra HD Matte Lipstick Color in “Seduction”

I love this shade because it's the exact one I wish I had for my natural lip color! This lipstick keeps my lips moist and the application is really smooth. The color is very pretty and the peach shade pairs very naturally with my skin tone. You can't go wrong with Revlon matte lipsticks for an everyday look! Cost: Under $10

Maybelline Master Fix Setting + Perfecting Loose Powder

So many YouTube beauty gurus rave about the Laura Mercier Loose Setting Powder in “Transparent”, but it costs nearly $40! I use the Maybelline dupe and I think it works great! It smells good and keeps the shine away, and that's all I ask! Cost: Under $10

Milani Baked Blush in “Luminoso”

This blush will always be a winner in my book. I opt for it over high end brands about 85% of the time! The color looks great on my skin and is so natural that I always get compliments. It's got just the perfect amount of sheen to look luminous, just like the name implies. You can see it in action on my Audrey Hepburn Makeup Lookbook post. Cost: Under $10

 Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream

If you're looking for a lightweight foundation that doesn't appear caked on your skin, Maybelline's BB Cream is the way to go. It's very sheer, but it helps to even out your skintone and blur imperfections. It has an SPF 30, so I love that it protects skin while providing a light amount of coverage.  Cost: Under $10

Hi! I'm Daisy, and I'm in my sophomore year of college where I'm studying fashion marketing and design. I'm addicted to playing with makeup and trying new hairstyles. I've styled my friends hair and makeup for homecoming and prom for years, so now I'm posting online tutorials since people always ask "How did you do that?!" Read more about me here!

    Thanks for sharing this, I literally was just saying how I HATE my current mascara ( I swear they changed the formula, I have been using it for a couple of years!) I am going to have to try this one instead <3

    This is really helpful Daisy. I’m a teen aspiring makeup artist and I practice on my girl cousins all the time. I just love the way the Luminosa blush looks when applied the right way–natural but with some glamor. Thanks again for all your tutorials ♥♥♥ Jackie Walsh

      Hi Jackie! You’re lucky you have people to practice on! That’s the best way to learn. <3 🙂 Your cousins are luck to get free makeovers, too!
