Today I'm going to be sharing my favorite, and the best, drugstore products. The products that you see are ones that I reach for over and over again. And when I'm done, I repurchase them. Sorry, most of them are NYX, but it's one of my all time favorite brands. I recommend these products to anybody! Hope you enjoy this list! ☺
NYX HD Concealer
This product blends great, the formula is nice and creamy, lasts all day, and has a great color selection (including color-correcting shades)! I use the color CW04 (beige with yellow undertone) under my eyes and CW10 (soft yellow) on the outer edges of my under eye area to add some extra brightening. I can think of only one downside, the product runs out fast. I blend it with a beauty blender (which absorbs much of the product) and I have to repurchase every month to month and a half.
NYX Dark Circle Concealer
This concealer is GREAT to cover up those dark eye bags. I have very dark under-eyes and I always used concealer but they always looked a little ashy, no matter how much concealer I applied. I did some research and purchased an orange concealer to go underneath my normal flesh-toned concealer. Makes the under-eyes looks GREAT. This formula is great and is easy to blend with a finger. I can apply a creamy concealer on top and there's no muddiness. It's inexpensive and lasts forever, I wouldn't buy any other brand! I use DCC03, Medium.
Maybelline Age Rewind Concealer
Sorry, this is the last concealer, I promise! This concealer blends well, last all day and brightens the under-eye area. The formula is great. It's everything a concealer should be. Only downside is the applicator. I always just rip out the spongy top, but it's still a mess. I recommend this concealer to ANYONE, young or old, beginners or experts. I use the shade Light.
Just want to add this in, these concealers are the drugstore concealer holy grail products in my opinion, before you splurge on a high-end concealer, PLEASE give these a try! They are amazing and inexpensive.
NYX Born to Glow Liquid Illuminator
Love the color selection for these illuminators, they give your skin that perfect glow. I use it on top of my foundation, on the high points of my face, underneath my powders. A little goes a LONG way! I blend them with a beauty blender. Only downside is they are not very bendable, so you have to be careful and fast as they set into the skin quickly. Otherwise, I totally recommend them to anyone that wants that great glow.
Here are some quick swatches. I use the colors GLEAM and PURE GOLD.
Gleam on top, Pure Gold on bottom. This is under indoor lighting.
Here are the colors under natural light.
NYX Waterproof Eyebrow Gel
I love this eyebrow gel. I simply apply a little bit of product to an angled brush and fill in my eyebrows. The formula is perfect and the color matches perfectly. It's waterproof and last all day! Please give this a try before splurging on an expensive eyebrow product!
Milani Baked Blush
Milani has a beautiful color selection of baked blushes. The formula is SUPER blendable (which I love) and very build-able. They easily compare to high-end blushes. Here are some swatches of Luminoso (top) and Dolce Pink (bottom), my two favorite colors.
I hope you guys enjoyed this post! Please try out these inexpensive products, they are really worth it! Hope to see you back soon!
Love,
Sara
