I love a good Urban Decay eyeshadow palette as much as the next girl. But for an every day look, high-end makeup isn't really practical or necessary. Here are a few of my favorite drugstore beauty products that are both affordable and good-quality.
1. NYX Gotcha Covered Concealer - $6
Before finding this concealer, I swore by Too Faced concealer... but this NYX concealer is super comparable to a high-end concealer. It goes on super smooth, and builds easily. AND it's waterproof!
2. Maybelline Colossal Cat Eyes Mascara - $7
This mascara gives your lashes a great mix of length and volume. The brush is super easy to use and lets you get every lash.
3. Rimmel Stay Matte Powder - $5
This is my absolute favorite powder for oily skin. It doesn't go on cakey, and doesn't make me look orange.
4. NYX Dark Circle Concealer - $6
I've been using this under-eye concealer for 3 years, and can't say enough good things about it. It holds up to rain and sweat, and still looks good after a full day of work or class.
5. Physician's Formula Eye Enhancing Shadow and Liner - $6
This palette is available for green, blue, and brown eyes, and comes with colors that complement each eye color. I have the green eye palette and love using the purple as an eyeliner, or using the beige and brown to do a light smokey eye. Overall, this is a super versatile palette that can be used every day or for special events.
6. Burt's Bees Honey Lip Balm - $4
If you don't have it, you need it. This lip balm has been my go-to for years now. It smells amazing, it's smooth, and it's super moisturizing.
7. Elf Champagne Baked Eyeshadow - $3
A swipe of this over your lids, some mascara, and you're done! This eyeshadow gives a super put-together look without costing a lot of time or money.
8. NYX Slide on Pencil - $8
These liners are super smooth and pigmented, and the perfect cross between a pencil and a liquid liner. They're awesome for the eyelid or for waterlining!
9. NYC Color Wheel Blush - $5
This blush is super easy to build and to create different color mixes. You can use this product to create a super intense look, or just a light dust.
Happy shopping!
