All you need drugstore beauty starter kit under $65.00 !
BS-MALL Brush Set // It isn’t called a beginners/starter kit without the makeup brushes! This brush set is only available on Amazon.com. The Rose-Gold brush set was gifted to me at Christmas of 2018 and is by far my favorite brushes! The kabuki brushes are dense and it blends makeup evenly. It’s so affordable and you get the perfect variety of brushes for every kind of makeup look!
E.L.F Instant Lift Brow Pencil // For $2.00 I was a bit skeptical at first but trust me when I say this will not disappoint you! After using light strokes to mimic hair, I found that this pencil really creates a natural brow look. It’s long-lasting and smudge-free.
Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder // I still use this OG setting powder and it has not let me down yet! It does a good job of combatting any oiliness in my t-zone like no other! It also keeps my foundation from transferring-which is a must!
Wet N Wild Photo Focus Foundation // Wet n Wild is back at it again! This foundation definitely lives up to its hype! Just the other day I went into Walmart and picked this up, definitely no regrets. It is a medium to full coverage and really delivers on covering any imperfections and blemishes. I have actually received more compliments on this drugstore foundation over my high-end.
Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect Mascara // It’s definitely hard trying to find an affordable mascara that gives you the results you’re looking for. You would think it wouldn’t perform like “Better Than Sex” high-end mascara, but you’re wrong. It gives your natural lash volume and truly does imitate false lashes. As a bonus, it has minimal clumping. It took me by surprise after I applied this mascara. I almost thought it was my Ardel natural false lashes for a moment there.
NYX Bright Idea Illuminating Stick // I always recommend having a contour stick! This has a range of colors from highlighters to bronzer. Not a huge necessity for beginners but hey doesn’t hurt to have!
Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips All-in-1 Custom Nude Palette For Face & Eyes // Includes 12 ultra-chic shimmery nude shades. Let me tell you, this palette is SUPER pigmented! I love how versatile this product is! For $10.00 you don’t need to stress over the idea of having to pay a lot of money for an eyeshadow palette, highlighter, and blush/bronzer – when you can buy this product and have all 3. I know if you go to your local TJ Maxx you can find this for $3.99 instead of $10!!
Wet n Wild Mist 3-In-1 // Another versatile product for ya! Prep, set, and refresh with this spray and you are all set! Smells wonderful and doesn’t leave your face feeling oily. I consider this product to be light-weight and is long-lasting. Your makeup is not going anywhere and for its price – you really can’t beat it!
Essence Gel Eye Pencil // I like gel pencil that glides on smoothly and effortlessly and this pencil does both. I also love how this liner is waterproof and smudge-proof. And of course like all other Essence products, it’s super affordable. This brand is only found at your local ULTA store/online.
Makeup Revolution Conceal & Define // This is my go-to/ride or die/well worth the hype concealer, I have ever owned! It’s super creamy, blends so perfectly under the eyes, and covers imperfections like a pro!
Nyx Liquid Suede // These liquid suede is super creamy and I enjoy the texture and how long-lasting this stays on – no smudging. I prefer to exfoliate and moisturize my lips before adding this product so that it goes on smoothly and prevents my lips from drying.
Essence Lip Liner // This is the best everyday lip liner! Pigmented, long-lasting, and beautiful color range. Everyone can afford this lip liner and trust me, the quality of this product is amazing!
I hope you enjoyed this drugstore makeup starter kit for under $65! I know I am constantly on a budget and makeup can get so expensive! It doesn’t have to be if you just know where to shop and what budget you’re sticking with. If you enjoyed this post make sure to share the love!
