My New Favorite Inexpensive Makeup Products

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Jefferson chapter.

Now, to preface, I was never one to ever wear makeup. And while I believe everyone is beautiful whether they choose to wear makeup or not, for me personally, it just was never really my thing. However, recently I have been finding myself really enjoying sitting down to do my makeup and incorporating that into my morning routine. It’s been very therapeutic for me and I have found that just a few small touches have really boosted my confidence! So, here are just a few of my new inexpensive makeup must-haves!

  • Wet n Wild Photo Focus Dewy Face Primer

Wet n Wild has always been a favorite of mine, they are a 100% cruelty free company (which is a huge win!) and one of the more inexpensive brands out there that you can easily find at any drugstore. This face primer has been my new obsession. It makes my usually dry skin look very dewy and moisturized. It’s also a great choice because applying my makeup has never gone smoother! Absolute game changer and I am obsessed.

  • Maybelline Dream Urban Cover Full Coverage Foundation SPF 50

Maybelline is definitely a drugstore fav, and this foundation is fantastic. I am always on the hunt for products containing SPF, because sun protection is so important! With an SPF of 50 and a light airy feeling on my skin, this product is a win!

  • COVERGIRL Lash Blast Clean Volume Mascara 

Now I think this is my new favorite mascara of all time. Again, keeping it in the drug store price range with COVERGIRL, this mascara is phenomenal. I have always been envious of those girls on social media with the pretty, voluminous lashes, and now I can be one of them too! Mascara is definitely my favorite makeup product, and trying to find a bomb mascara in my price range has always been a challenge, but not anymore!
