I wanted to share my favorite drugstore products, that are perfect for summer and won't break the bank. Most of the products I list are under $10, and can be found at your local drugstore, Target, Walmart or Ulta. All of these products are cruelty-free, with the exception of Wet n Wild (you can decide) after last months controversy!
I did put the the list is under $15, but there is one product that is $16!
Favorite Highlighter:
Wet n Wild MegaGlo Highlighting Powder is one of the best highlighters I've ever used. It's not chalky, super pigmented and there are six shades that work for any skin tone!
Favorite Setting Spray:
This setting spray is now the only setting spray I will use. It keeps me me matte all day long! You can find NYX products at CVS, Walgreens, Target, Ulta and Macy's!
Favorite Foundation, Concealer and Setting Powder!
ColourPop No Filter products are my go-to everyday products. Not only are they super affordable, but they also give me the coverage that I prefer for my everyday makeup. I have oily skin, and these products help keep me matte all day! The only downside of Colorpop is these products are only available online. While they aren't available at the drugstore the price point fits, in my opinion!
The foundation comes in 42 shades, is buildable and medium-to-full coverage. I also mix moisturizer with my everyday foundation making it more sheer, but also hydrating during winter months. No Filter Natural Matte Foundation $12
The concealer comes in 30 shades, is full coverage, and I always compare it to Tarte Shape Tape because YES it's that good! It doesn't get dry or flakey under my eyes either, which is a big issue I run into with concealers! No Filter Matte Concealer $6.50
The setting powder comes in three shades, doesn't settle in fine lines, and helps keep my oily skin matte all day! No Filter Loose Setting Powder $9
Best Foundation, and Concealer Found In Stores:
CoverGirl Active Outlast foundation is perfect for summer time, and its only $9 on Amazon!
NYX Professional Makeup HD Studio Concealer, I always compare to the NARS concealer that is super popular but this product is almost 1/3 of the price and only $9 on Amazon!
I can't find an in store setting powder I swear by! If you have any recommendations, let me know!
Favorite Blush:
Favorite Bronzer:
It's called "Butter Bronzer" for a reason. The formula goes on smooth like butter, and comes in five shades. You can find Physicians Formula products at most drug stores!
Favorite Eyebrow Product:
I found this brow product a few months ago, and it definitely replaced my previous favorite which was NYX micro brow pencil. Joah Brow Down: Precision Brow Pencil comes in six shades, and lasts all day! Not only that, but this brow pencil has lasted much longer than any brow pencil I've ever used!
Favorite Eye Shadow Palette:
I love this palette because it's great for everyday, easy looks. There is also a new one called "Phoenix" that has bright and neutral colors. While you do need to build up the eye shadow for better pigmentation, it's worth it for the price!
Favorite Eyeliner:
I've been using this liquid liner for a few years now, and I love it! It's waterproof, which is great if you're like me with watery eyes, has a precision tip for that perfect wing, and lasts all day!
Best Mascara:
OK, this is a little pricey but it's worth it! Buy it at Ulta for $16, and watch your lashes look bomb AF.
I have been using this mascara for years, and it will forever by one of my favorites! Plus, it's only $7 at Bed Bath and Beyond.
