Beauty Essentials Drug Store Edition

Beauty Essentials!! Drug Store Edition

1.) Eye Primer

This product will make sure that your eye shadow stays all day, doesn't crease, and make the colors more vibrant. There are many different drug store eye primers but I find that this one has the best reviews and I enjoy it the most. (Wal-Mart $7.97)



2.) Face Primer
 Just like the eye primer, this will make sure that your foundation or powder will stay on all day. I couldn't survive without this primer. It makes my make up go on smoother and allows it to stay all day. I don't have to worry about my foundation sliding or reapplying my powder over and over again throughout the day. (@Wal-Mart $9.98)

3.) Brushes
 These brushes will make your life so much simpler!!! Brushes make your make up go on so smoothly (granted some brushes may cause streaking but they really do help more than sponges). I really like the eco tools brushes and they are really affordable compared to MAC brushes or other companies. (@Wal-Mart, Target, Walgreen and prices vary).


4.) Eye Shadow Quad
 Having an eye shadow quad will be so beneficial because you can do so many looks with just for colors. You can use just one shade when you are in a hurry, or use three of the colors to make an easy every day look. I really like Cover Girl eye shadows because they are so pigmented and super affordable. They also have a very big selection of quads. (@Wal-Mart $4.97)


5.) Natural Blush
A natural blush will become a staple in your daily look. Cover Girl's cheekers blushes are one of the best drug store blushes out there. They are really pigmented and you get a lot of product for the money you spend. I have used these blushes since high school and I have never come across a single one I didn't like. A couple of sweeps of this on your cheeks will give you that beautiful flushed look. (@Wal-Mart $3.74)


6.) Foundation (Or tinted Moisturizer)
Having a foundation or tinted moisturizer OR both will even out your skin tone and give you that perfect complexion that every girl wants. Depending on how much coverage you want will make your decision on which one you want easier. If you want more coverage then you will want a foundation, there are tons of great drug store foundations. Less coverage will lead you towards a tinted moisturizer, I love the Cover Girl Nature Luxe!!! It is easy to apply and lasts all day. (@ Wal-Mart $9.74)


7.) Natural Lip Color
Having a natural lip color that is moisturizing will save your lips and your look. The Revlon lip butters are AMAZING!! They have color to them and are so moisturizing. I LOVE these!!! They come is a variety of colors so you have a big selection of colors. (@Target $6.49)


8.) Mascara
Mascara definitely depends on what you want your lashes to look like and what type of formula you like, but I absolutely love the Maybelline Falsies Mascara. After I curl my lashes and apply this, my lashes look so long and luscious!! I have all three of the falsies (flared, original, and waterproof)!!! (@Wal-Mart $5.94)

I hope this helped anyone that is starting to get into makeup and is on a budget!! If you have any suggestions or questions, feel free to comment and I will try out new products or answer questions! 

as always <3,
Corinne
