Quick & Easy Drugstore Makeup Look

before- only wearing moisturizer

after- soft simple eye look

after- glowing pinched cheeks

products used- all from drug store

Hello again everyone! A couple days ago, I featured a before and after look featuring very natural makeup that still covered up all of my redness and blemishes. I had a friend request that I do a similar look featuring only drugstore makeup, which I am a huge fan of! So I decided to share with you a very affordable look, that is yet again very youthful and natural. This look is also very glowy and perfect for any day time occasion. Notice I skipped on eyeliner, and did only a thin coat of mascara this time-- perfect for when you are in a pinch to get out the door in the morning!


In my before picture I am only wearing moisturizer. No hiding of anything! I have been using Dermalogica Active Moist- so that part isn't considered drug store. However, I do love Aveeno's moisturizers!

Products used, in this order:
1. Loreal Magic Perfecting Base- fills pores and fine lines, perfecting the skin for a smooth application of foundation
2. Covergirl Outlast 3-in-1 foundation- 845 Warm Beige- this is an awesome drugstore foundation for those with combination/oily skin wanting medium to full coverage!
3. Maybelline FIT Me Concealer- shade 10 Light- applied under eyes to brighten and hide dark circles
4. Maybelline FIT Me Shine Free foundation stick- I purchased this is a shade 3-4x darker than my skin color to use as a cream contour- 330 Toffee Caramel
5. Rimmel Stay Matte pressed powder- 001 Transparent- used to set foundation and concealer
6. Maybelline Dream Bouncy blush- 60 Coffee Cake- applied to apples of cheeks
7. Milani Baked Blush- 05 Luminoso- applied to top of cheek bones for a bit of a highlight and a little more color (sold at Target & CVS)
8. Wet 'n Wild eyeshadow trio- Walking on Eggshells- pink shade all over lid, bronze shade in outer corner
9. Revlon Brow Fantasy- Dark Blonde- lightly filled in brows
10. Maybelline Great Lash- clear- used to set brows in place
11. (not shown) Covergirl Lash Blast mascara- applied a thin coat
12. Revlon Super Lustrous lip gloss- 245 Pango Peach

As always, some of these steps can be skipped if you'd like!

Drugstore makeup is always a great option. While some products are not so great, some really are the equivalent of high-end quality. It all just takes a little time to figure out what works before for you.

Have you used any of these products before? If so, what do you think of them?
