Drugstore Makeup finds

Today's post is about drugstore makeup! Because I get this question a lot and there are several things I swear by that you can pick up at your local drugstore!I hope this is helpful.

Foundation:

Revlon colorstay has to be my favorite drugstore foundation, medium to full coverage, dries to a matte finish and stay! literally wont come off my hand unless I use makeup remover. Great for oily skin. They have different formulas for normal/dry like the image above or normal/oily which is the only one I have tried! retails for about $10

Revlon nearly nakes is another great foundation, more of a light weight formula with medium covereage! Really pretty on the skin, doesnt look like makeup. It has more of a demi matte finish, I have to set it with powder . I do find that it gets a little oily but not to the point where I have to touch up every hour!

Powder:

Neutrogena mineral sheers is a awesome medium coverage powder! A lot of mineral powders like MAC usually leave your skin with a "glow" but this one doesnt! a little pricey for drugstore in my opinion being priced at $13 but its worth it! 

Eyeliner:
Wet N' Wild mega liner, I recently discovered this because of a coworker and fell in love! SUPER BLACK, matte finish, STAYS, I also love the wand, its a super thin brush similiar to MACs boot black but the formula isnt thick like boot black. You cant beat the price, ranging from $1-$4

Eyeshadow:
 So impressed with another wet n wild product, the eyeshadow has amazing pigmentation! Isnt dusty and they have awesome color combos! A lot of them are comparable to MAC shadows! If you want to play with new colors and are on a budget these are a great option!

Lips:
Baby lips is a amazing tinted chapstick that you can keep in your purse! Usually the only thing i wear on lazy days if I want to give my lips a tint of color! My fav is the pink which is the 2nd to the far right!

NYX butter gloss feels so smooth and buttery on your lips (makes sense hence the name) it has a tint of color, no gross smell, perfect alone for a sheer wash of color or over lipstick! I found these at ulta for $5 the gloss on the far left with the black lid has a little bit more of a color pay off, amazing feel. definetely suggest these!
Mascara:
Covergirl lash blast fusion has been a favorite of mine for years, makes your lashes so thick! Awesome wand that isnt too big, I like to mix this one with maybelline collosal (amazing as well) usually goes for $10
