It can be difficult to find inexpensive makeup options that are also high quality and will last throughout the day. While most of the time I tend not to wear makeup, I’ll look for affordable options when I do decide to wear it. Here are the products I use for my simple makeup routine that can all be found at the drugstore.
- e.l.f Poreless Face Primer, $10.00:
-
I use this primer from e.l.f, which can usually be found at Target, but there are other drugstores that also sell this brand. I like how it helps minimize my pores and is a good base for the rest of my makeup.
- Maybelline Fit Me Matte and Poreless Foundation Makeup, $7.99:
-
I like this foundation, because it is very affordable, lasts throughout the day, and is matte, which is great for oily skin. I also like the Fit Me collection, since they have a large range of shades to choose from, which can be hard to find in drugstore brands.
- Maybelline Fit Me Concealer, $6.49:
-
This liquid concealer corresponds with the Maybelline Fit Me Foundation and gives good coverage.
- Maybelline Fit Me Matte and Poreless Powder, $7.99:
-
This powder works well and matches my foundation perfectly, since they are both from the same Fit Me collection.
- e.l.f Instant Lift Eyebrow Pencil, $2.00:
-
I always use this eyebrow pencil to fill in my brows, because it lasts throughout the day and looks very natural.
- e.l.f Expert Liquid Eyeliner, $3.00:
-
I love this eyeliner and have been using it for years. It is a jet black eyeliner that stays on throughout the day.
- Maybelline Illegal Length Fiber Extensions Mascara, $8.99:
-
I have also been using this mascara for a long time. This is my go-to, because it makes my eyelashes look long and does not come out clumpy.
I know that it can be a challenge to find good quality makeup that is also affordable, so I hope this routine gives new ideas about what makeup products to try. There are a lot of Maybelline and e.l.f products on my list, because they are my favorite drugstore brands that are both affordable and high quality.
