Drugstore makeup products have a bad rep, and we get it, sometimes the products and brands carried aren’t the highest quality. But you don’t always want to spend a lot, right? Here are 5 drugstore makeup products that actually really work so you don’t need to buy them at Sephora.
Drugstore Makeup Products
There are so many questions out there regarding drugstore makeup products like:
- Is it ok to buy drugstore makeup?
- What are some drugstore makeup dupes?
- What drugstore makeup brands are the best?
- Why is drugstore makeup cheap?
And you’re likely to find articles written by major fashion and beauty publications giving you a list of the best drugstore makeup products, while maybe answering some of your burning questions. What you have to realize is these publications often have a relationship with said brand who’s made the list, so take their recommendations with a grain of salt.
We have no relationship with any of the brands below, they’re simply tried and true and actually the best. Drugstore beauty products a lot of the time are made from similar if not the same ingredients as luxury beauty products (maybe give or take an ingredient or two). If you find a product you like it’s often better and more affordable to shop drugstore cosmetics, lip balm for example does NOT need to be a Sephora brand at a whopping $40, it’s lip balm.
Anyway, here’s the list of the best drugstore makeup products!
Covergirl TruNaked Eyeshadow Palette
The TruNaked eyeshadow palette line is fantastic. Each palette has 8 wearable shades to create the perfect nude eye look, each colour is super pigmented so the palette lasts a LONG time. The formula blends well and can be used wet for an even more intense look. These eyeshadow palettes are half the cost of Urban Decay Naked palettes and work just as well.
Easy Breezy Brow Volumizing Brow Gel
For everyday use, this brow gel is so easy to use and creates the most natural fluffy brow look. Use it slowly, make sure the formula becomes tacky then you can easily style your brows the way you like and they stay put. All day. The reason it’s so good is because the formula is technically “clear” with a tint making it easy to build on and you don’t have to feel nervous about messing it up- the product is quite light!
Eye Booster™ Lash 2-in-1 Boosting Eyeliner & Serum
Liquid eyeliner is HARD to apply, we know that. Luckily we’ve found the tool that’s both easy to use and effective. The thin tip makes getting to the base of your eyelashes quick and easy and the formula doesn’t run or dry out. It also conditions the lashes so there’s that.
Marcelle Kohl Eyeliner CDA
White eyeliner helps open the eyes, and makes them look fresh. Don’t spend a lot on this product, pencils work the same we just like this one because the white is SUPER white, it sharpens without breaking and is soft which we are thankful for.
Beeswax 100% Natural Moisturizing Lip Balm

Lip balm is a must, but we don’t want the formula to be sticky or too thick. We like Burt’s Bees because it’s natural and has a hint of peppermint for freshness.
