The Best Drugstore Makeup on Amazon
Thank you for shopping through the links on my blog! If you have any specific questions about products, please let me know and I will do my best to help you!
Primers
e.l.f. Poreless Face Primer // I compared this primer to the Benefit Porefessional in my Makeup Primer Dupes Post. It’s a great smoothing primer.
Maybelline Master Prime Blur + Illuminate // This is a great dupe for the Becca Backlight Priming Filter. It has a great radiant finish.
Foundations
Wet ‘n Wild Photo Focus Foundation // I mentioned this in my 2017 favorites! I absolutely love this foundation.
Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Foundation // This gives a satin/matte finish that stays put and looks gorgeous. One of my top favorite drugstore foundations.
L’Oreal Infallible Pro Glow Foundation // This gives more of a glowy/natural finish but also does a great job of staying put throughout the day. Another favorite!
Concealers
Maybelline Fit Me Concealer // One of my holy grail drugstore concealers, and I will always have it on hand!
L.A. Girl Pro Conceal // This one I have not talked about as much, but I’m super impressed with it. It is long wearing and full coverage!
Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Dark Circle Eraser // Fantastic for covering dark circles – make sure to get the Brightening shade.
Powders
Coty Airspun Loose Face Powder in Translucent // This powder smells a little grandma-y, but many compare it to the Laura Mercier Translucent Setting powder… it’s a lovely powder!!
Maybelline Dream Wonder Powder // I used to use this pressed powder religiously. It is creamy, smooth, and absolutely gorgeous on the skin.
Bronzers
Physicians Formula Butter Bronzer // Holy grail bronzer. Enough said!! I have the shade “Bronzer.”
NYC Smooth Skin Bronzer in Sunny // This is such a great gem, and is so cheap! Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to find NYC in stores much lately, but luckily they are still on Amazon. This is a great dupe for Benefit Hoola Bronzer!
Blushes
Physicians Formula Butter Blush // Another absolute favorite of mine in 2017. Smooth finish and gorgeous on the skin.
L’Oreal True Match Super Blendable Blush // I recently started using this one and it is a beautiful blush formula! You don’t hear many people talking about it, but I am really impressed!
Highlighters
Sleek Solstice Highlighting Palette // Seriously, this is one of my favorite highlighting palettes ever! It’s so blinding and beautiful.
Maybelline FaceStudio Master Chrome Highlighter // This is a gorgeous gold highlighter! You would especially love this if you have a medium skin tone.
Eyeshadow
CoverGirl TruNaked Eyeshadow Palette // I mentioned this in my drugstore eyeshadow palettes blog post and I think this is probably my favorite eyeshadow palette of the bunch. They are beautiful!
L’Oreal Infallible Eyeshadow in Iced Latte // This is a dead on dupe for Stila’s Kitten. This single eyeshadow is so gorgeous!
Eyeliner
Maybelline Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner // One of the best gel eyeliner formulas you’ll find at the drugstore!
Maybelline Master Precise Skinny Gel Pencil Eyeliner // This eyeliner is seriously my go-to. I continue to repurchase it!
Mascara
L’Oreal Lash Paradise Mascara // The best mascara find I came across in 2017. I just love it! It’s a great dupe for the Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara!
L’Oreal Voluminous Carbon Black Mascara // This is an oldie but a goodie. I will always love this mascara – you simply can’t go wrong with it!
Brows
L’Oreal Brow Stylist Definer // This is a gorgeous eyebrow pencil that I feel is very similar to the Anastasia Brow Wiz!
L’Oreal Brow Stylist Plumper // I love this tinted brow gel – it really keeps those brows locked and loaded.
Lips
Maybelline Color Sensational Inti-Matte Nude Lipstick in Peach Buff // I included this in my favorite drugstore nude lipsticks blog post, and it truly is just a gorgeous nude. You can’t go wrong with it! The formula is also beautiful.
L’Oreal Infallible Pro-Matte Liquid Lipstick in Nudist // I also mentioned this in that same blog post. This is an amazing liquid lip formula – it stays put and the shade range is so on point!
Rimmel Provocalips in Play With Fire // This is probably the longest lasting liquid lipstick I’ve found. Dare I say… I think it’s a Lipsense dupe? I’m not even kidding. Oh but this is under $6. Don’t want to disrupt the Lipsense world but this lasts just as long…
…and there you have it! Hope you found this helpful for your next Amazon splurge!
Great Post Meg! Thanks for your suggestions. I laughed when I saw the Coty Airspun powder. My Grandma introduced me to this powder when I was 15 years old. I’ve tried others, but nothing beats this one! My Grandma used this powder until her last day, she was 100-1/2 years old and still put on her full face of makeup everyday. She was beautiful!
I always keep coming back to the L’Oréal Voluminous Million Lashes. It’s a perfect dupe for Benefit They’re Real! — only better. It’s not as heavy; doesn’t clump; doesn’t flake; and now comes in a waterproof formula (I’m a crier and it doesn’t budge!).
New reader and Instagram follower here, and am so glad I found you! I am slowly reading back through your archives – I just bought a bunch of these recommended products because I have been so inspired by all your tutorials. Can’t wait to try them and start upping my make-up game! Thanks and keep up the great posts!
