Best Affordable Drugstore Makeup

We don't all have the means to go to Sephora and spend a lot of money on makeup. Don't worry, I've compiled a full face of affordable drugstore makeup that is as good or even better than the more expensive brands!

To create this list, I went on Youtube and watched makeup artists' reviews and I got the general idea so I wrote these reviews according to their opinions. All credit concerning the opinions goes to them.

7. L'Oreal Paris Infallible 24 Hour Eye Shadow, $9.32 CAD

This product has a thick, silky, and silicone-like consistency and in that it is similar to the Benefit Porefessional, only much cheaper. It is pore-filling and it smoothes out texture.

2. L'Oreal Paris Infallible Pro-Matte Foundation, $17.46 CAD

This foundation stays on all day, keeps skin matte and makes skin look so beautiful. The coverage is amazing as well as the longevity. It has a matte finish but isn't too matte which keeps the skin looking stunning.

3. Maybelline Fit Me Concealer, $6.96 CAD

While providing a medium coverage, this concealer can be built up to full coverage. The finish makes skin look beautiful and it is so easy to blend out. It doesn't crease throughout the day and can be compared to the Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer.

4. Maybelline Fit Me Loose Finishing Powder, $6.96 CAD

This powder is finely milled and works so well for a cheap price. It doesn't give you any flashback and looks natural when dusted away, meaning that it doesn't age the skin. These powders do have a slight tint so make sure to get the shade that matches your skin best.

5. Physician's Formula Butter Bronzer, $20 CAD

When applied, it does have a beautiful bronze color, pigmented, and it isn't too red for lighter skin tones. It smells tropical and feels very smooth. It has a matte and silky finish. This bronzer does come with a rather strange applicator which doesn't work very well so you'll probably be better off with a brush.

6. Milani Make It Last Setting Spray, $14.99 CAD

This setting spray works fantastically, very similar to Urban Decay. The makeup it is sprayed on lasts so much longer. However, the second most prominent ingredient is alcohol and it does smell like perfume so take those things into consideration before purchasing.

7. L'Oreal Paris Infallible 24 Hour Eye Shadow, $9.32 CAD

These eyeshadows swatch so beautifully and are better than most eyeshadows in general, drugstore or not. It is crease-resistant, lasts a long time on the skin and there are many color options. Although not very cheap, it is extremely worth buying.

8. Maybelline Inti-Matte Nude, $7.96 CAD

This lipstick is amazingly pigmented and feels comfortable on the skin. It is even better than some high-end lipsticks that could cost you so much more.

9. Wet n Wild Mega Glow Highlighter, $6.99 CAD

This product is pigmented and gives you an intense sheen while also sitting beautifully on the skin.

10. Maybelline Brow Precise Micro Pencil, $11.99 CAD

This brow pencil is thin and very precise, making it easy to imitate small hairs. You barely have to press down to see the pigment and the brow ends up looking natural because of the precision. Then it blends nicely using the brush on the other end.

11. Maybelline Big Shot Mascara, $8.96 CAD

This product makes lashes look full, intense, and fluffy. Considered the best drugstore mascara by many.

12. Wet n Wild Color Icon Blush, $4.77 CAD

This blush feels amazing on the face and actually better than some of the high-end blushes for such a cheap price. It applies beautifully and it blends out perfectly.

13. L'Oreal Paris Lineur Intense Felt Tip Liquid Eyeliner, $9.26 CAD

This liquid eyeliner is so easy to apply and exceptionally useful for beginners. Its design makes eyeliner so easy to use with its flexibility and length.

That's all I have for this article. I hope you enjoyed this and that my article helped you find your favorite affordable face of makeup.
