The drugstore has some hidden treasures and I am going share with you what I think you need in your life.
In no particular order I enjoy using each of these products equally, in saying this I will start off with Rimmel Stay Matte Powder. I feel like it's hard to find a good drugstore powder that actually keeps you matte and doesn't give you that powdery finish.
I like to pair this powder with dewy foundations to ensure the foundation will last longer. This keeps my dewy foundations matte for about 4 hours. Keep in mind I do not have oily skin this is just when I find the powder gives a less matte appearance.
I have the shade translucent so it provides no coverage and I have not yet found it to flash back.
Next powder up is the Elf High Definition Undereye Setting Powder. What a mouthful. I ALWAYS would struggle with undereye creasing and my undereyes not looking bright. I dust this powder lightly and it keeps my undereyes crease free and bright. It has glitter particles throughout it however if I don't apply a lot these aren't noticeable.
Drugstore eyeshadows are a hit and miss. My absolute favourites are L'Oreal's Infallible Eyeshadows.
These are the most pigmented shimmery eyeshadows I have ever tried and last a full day on my eyelids without any primer. If you're someone that loves their shimmers definitely check out their range of colours in this line!
Bourjois Blush is next up. I'm not a big blush person as I have a lot of redness in my cheeks so I tend to avoid blush however when I do choose to apply it I reach for this one. It's a very pigmented product but applied lightly gives the prettiest wash of colour. I do own other drugstore blushes and this is my favourite by far.
As for foundation I decided to include an option for both oily and dry skin as well as light-medium coverage and full coverage.
I'm sure you have all heard the endless positive reviews the L'Oreal Infallible 24H-Matte has received. In one layer it covers all my redness and blemishes plus it lasts all day. I recommend this for those of you who have oily skin. If you have dry skin I still think you should give this a go however I have noticed it can look cakey if I don't use a moisturising primer or mix it.
That leads me into my next foundation must-have. Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum. This is a gift from heaven if you have dry skin. This foundation provides a healthy dewy finish to the skin that looks like your skin! You can build it up without it looking cakey and undetectable.
I like to mix these two foundations for a dewy full coverage finish that lasts hours.
Mascara is kind of a personal preference. But if you want to achieve length and separated lashes Rimmel Lash Accelarator is for you. I would have also included L'Oreal Telescopic however I've used that one completely up and need to buy another one. I love them both equally.
Chi Chi Lip Liners are the longest lasting, smudge proof and transfer free lip liners I have ever drawn upon my thin lips. My favourite is the shade 'It Girl' which is one of those my lips but better shades.
The best of the best drugstore lipsticks hands down goes to Maybelline. They're creamy, pigmented and comfortable on the lips. I recommend every lipstick range of theirs.
Colourpop can't be bought at a drugstore however the price they retail for makes them drugstore right?
Colourpop Ultra Matte Lips are the comfiest, non drying liquid lip formula I've tried. It also lasts me 5+ hours transfer free. I've eaten in these, drank water with it on and kissed my boyfriend to test if it really doesn't transfer. I am so amazed by these and definitely need to pick up more. Every time I've worn the shades midi or beeper I always get compliments on my lip colour and asked what it is.
Last but not least Maybelline Fit Me Concealer. This is my favourite concealer whether it be out of drugstore or high end. I even like using this as a foundation all over my face. It gives the perfect amount of coverage and actually lasts. If you need a new concealer go buy this one right now and thank me later :)
That brings me to the end of another post.
As always thank you for taking the time to read it and have a wonderful day xx

P.S. I stuck to brands you should be able to purchase no matter where you live. This just excludes the chi chi lip liner mentioned. I do also love Essence Lip Liners.
