Seven best drugstore makeup products
If you’re a broke high school student in need of quality makeup at an affordable price, then you’re in luck. York-hi has compiled a list of the best drugstore makeup products ranging in a variety of brands, prices, and styles.
NYX
– Intense butter gloss
With over 24 shades to choose from, you’re guaranteed to find an intense butter gloss that is perfect for you. The glossy formula is less sticky compared to a matte formula that often gets hard and cakey on your lips. $6.
– Cosmetic Studio Finishing Powder
Setting a translucent powder on your face will not only help keep your makeup in place, but it will keep your skin from getting oily as you go throughout the day. $10.
Wet & Wild
– “Megaglo” Highlight Powder
Wet & Wild has proved to have one of the best drugstore highlights at only $5. Both shades of the powder are super pigmented, and you can create a more intense look by layering it or opt for a more subtle glow by just using a little. $5.
– Mega Protein Waterproof Mascara
As an essential to any makeup look, Wet & Wild’s Mega Protein mascara is beneficial in more way than one. This formula is enhanced with “soy and wheat proteins, acai oil, and D-Panthenol”, which helps protect and strengthen your eyelashes. $3.
Elf
– Prism Eyeshadow Palette
A classic eyeshadow palette is a staple in anyone’s makeup collection. The Elf prism palette is simple yet bold enough for any day to night look. $10.
– Hydrating Face Primer
If you’re looking for a way to hold your makeup for extra long time, a hydrating primer is the way to go. Not only does it help keep your makeup looking freshly done all day, but it keeps your skin hydrated as well, which is super helpful especially if you wear makeup every day. $6.
L’Oreal
– Pro Glow Foundation
No matter what skin type you have, the Pro Glow foundation is going to provide full coverage with a dewy finish. The creamy formula applies easily, never leaving your skin feeling dry or cakey. At only $13, the Pro Glow is the cheapest foundation for the highest quality.
