All makeup lovers know how expensive it is to buy high end products makeup artists swear by. As a college student I do not have that extra money to spend on those, and so I turn to drug store brands. Many of the products I use can be found at CVS, Target, Walmart, and even Ulta. I am constantly searching for products that are comparable to high end brands. I have found so many amazing products in my search, and below are 10 products I believe are comparable to any high end brand.
1. Nyx Angel Veil
This primer works as a poor filler, shine reducer, and allows for even makeup application.
2. London Stay Matte Foundation
This foundation is light weight, full coverage, and isn't cakey. It doesn't dry put skin, and it gives you a nice airbrushed look.
3. Elf Concealer and Highlighter
This is a non-cakey concealer with and under eye highlighter perfect for hiding dark circles, or using a basic highlight.
4. Nyx Highlight and Contour Pro Palette
This palette comes with 4 easily blendable contour shades, 4 highlighters, and refillable pans. This is the perfect palette because when you finish a shade you can pop out the empty pan and replace it with whatever shade you want to create the perfect custom palette.
5. Nyx Tame and Frame Tinted Brow Pomeade
The drug store dupe of DIp Brow that is easily applicable.
6. Nyx Duo Chromatic Highlighter
These highlighters are highly pigmented, and add the perfect glow.

You can shower, go swimming, and cry you eyes out without your eyeliner creasing or running. At the end of the day this eyeliner will look the same as when you applied it.
8. L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Original Mascara
This mascara gives you length and definition, as well as giving you the look of fuller eyelashes.
