If you know me even the slightest bit, you know I’m a girly girl who loves a bargain. I can appreciate a quality piece when appropriate, but I love to round out my every day routine with affordable and attainable products. I cringe when I hear some of my girlfriends complaining about the hundreds of dollars they spend to restock on their makeup…it doesn’t have to be that way!
I’m a firm believer in drugstore makeup, at least for an everyday natural look. In this post, you’ll find seven of my everyday go-to drugstore makeup products. They’re each under $15, and all available at Amazon, Target, Walmart, and any drugstore like CVS, Walgreens, or Rite-Aid.
All products are linked throughout the post, or on the LIKEtoKNOW.it app. You can also click on any photo in this blog to take you directly to my LIKEtoKNOW.it post.
Also recommend checking out my Reel on Instagram featuring each of these seven makeup products!
Let’s get to it!
Maybelline New York Fit Me Shine-Free + Balance Stick Foundation, Pure Beige. For just under $9, you’ve got a full coverage foundation stick that isn’t oily or greasy. I use it under my eyes, in my T zone, and under my cheek bones. This product serves a few purposes: concealer, foundation, and matte coverage!
Physicians Formula Bronze Booster Glow Boosting Pressed Bronzer, Medium to Dark. Favorite bronzer of all time right here. Around $11, use this as a blush on your cheekbones and on the sides of your eyes. Makes me feel summery and golden all year long.
Maybelline New York Expert Wear Twin Brow & Eye Pencils Makeup, Blonde. My mom always taught me to go one shade lighter than your natural hair color when choosing an eyebrow pencil. I’m a natural light brown, so the blonde brow pencil is perfect! Pack of 2 for under $6.
Maybelline New York Eyestudio Brow Drama Sculpting Brow Mascara, Blonde. Tame those brows with this eyebrow sculpting gel. This blonde color matches the pencil, giving you a perfectly blended and shaped brow! I’ll even where this brow gel to the gym, and it holds up with sweat well!
Rimmel Soft Kohl Eyeliner, Sable Brown. I’ve never had a steady hand for liquid eyeliner, nor have I loved a hard eyeliner pencil. A soft kohl eyeliner is so easily smudged, making it forgiving for a shaky hand like mine. I love using this on my upper lid only. This Rimmel soft kohl liner is around $9, but there are several other kohl liner options from Maybelline, Loreal, and Wet n’ Wild that are even more budget friendly.
Maybelline Volum’ Express The Colossal Washable Mascara, Volumizing, Glam Black. Legit have been wearing this mascara for 10 years, I hope its never discontinued! I always vote for washable, since it is kinder to your lashes. Apply 2 coats to both upper and lower lashes for a dramatic pop.
L’Oreal Paris Makeup Infallible 8 Hour Hydrating Lip Gloss, Barely Nude. Nude gloss is a MUST HAVE for a natural, everyday look. I’ve never had lip injections, but this gloss makes me feel like what I imagine a ‘fresh out the med spa perfect, plump pout’ would feel like.
And there ya have it! My seven, everyday makeup products! I hope this has streamlined some drugstore makeup shopping for you, and maybe given you some hope for affordable and attainable makeup!
