Let's face it: We can't always splurge on every high-end piece of makeup we see. While we may feel the urge to go to Ulta or Sephora and buy every beautiful palette staring us in the face, in reality, sometimes it's just not possible. Luckily, drugstore makeup can be a blessing! Below I have listed ten of the best drugstore makeup products that may be able to help you forget about that $50 mascara you've had your eye on.
1. Maybelline “The Mega Plush Volume Express” Mascara
This mascara is extremely worth it. If you are looking for something that gives volume but does not weigh down your lashes, this mascara is perfect! It will give you a natural feel while giving your eyelashes the boost they need.
2. Maybelline “The Falsies Volume Express” Mascara
Similar to “The Mega Plush,” “The Falsies” mascara gives you incredible volume and length. While it may not leave your lashes feeling as light as “The Mega Plush,” it will give you an incredible amount of volume for the price you pay. It truly will appear as if you are wearing your favorite pair of falsies!
3. Elf “Liquid Eyeliner”
This eyeliner is arguably my favorite drugstore product. Because this product is only $2, you would expect it to not do the job, but honestly, this is the best and most reliable eyeliner I have ever used. It is easy to apply and gives you incredible precision throughout the entire day.
4. Maybelline “Fit me!” Foundation
Maybelline’s “Fit me!” foundation does exactly what it claims. The foundation matches your skin perfectly without weighing it down throughout the day. If you are looking for a natural looking foundation that also gives a wonderful amount of cover-up, this is the foundation for you!
5. Rimmel London “Match Perfection” Concealer
Just like the “Fit me!” foundation, the “Match Perfection” concealer can deliver what it promises. By matching your skin tone and also covering up any blemishes, this concealer will make your skin look naturally flawless!
6. Covergirl Eyeshadow
Any of the Covergirl eyeshadow pallets are worth every penny. This eyeshadow gives you incredible color and is comparable to more expensive eyeshadows such as Urban Decay’s “Naked” palettes!
7. Covergirl “Clean” Pressed Powder
This pressed powder is far more than ordinary! As it works to give you coverage while leaving your skin free from an oily feeling, it is also helping your skin. Designed to not act as a heavy powder, this powder leaves your skin feeling clean, rather than the feeling of makeup caked on to your face.
8. Physician’s Formula “Happy Booster” Blush
The “Happy Booster” blush by Physician’s Formula gives your cheeks an incredible glow. By adding a nice pink color to your face, you can achieve a natural glow and brighten up your face. Not to mention it comes in a beautiful heart design!
9. Milani "Baked" Bronzer
The entire line by Milani is amazing, but the bronzer is exceptionally great! Many times, bronzers give you an unnatural tan tine on your face, however, the “Baked” bronzer will not do that. It gives you the ability to contour or add some color while still keeping your look natural.
10. Elf “Eyebrow Kit”
