Hola Beauties! If you are looking for great and super affordable makeup, here is The Best Drugstore Makeup Under 5.
Drugstore makeup is improving in quality, but the prices are getting higher, especially if you live in Canada. Finding cheap makeup in Canada can be a tough task, even more when it is under the CAD 5 Tag. I went through my collection, and here are the 10 Best drugstore Makeup Under 5 that, in my opinion, are amazing and can even be compared with high-end products.
Most or pretty much all these products are from E.L.F and Essence Cosmetics; they are the only drugstore brands in Canada where you can find makeup under $5.

Essence Melted Chrome Eyeshadow
These Essence Eyeshadows deserve more love. They retail between 5 or 5.99 CAD, depending on where you buy them. I usually find them at my local Shoppers Drug Smart or their website, and sometimes they have amazing sales, and you can even find them cheaper than that.
These eyeshadows are incredible, super pigmented, and look beautiful on the lid. They come in 6 different shades; my favorites are Golden Crown, Zinc About you, and Steel the Look.

My current favorites are Volume Stylist Curl and Hold, The False Lashes Extreme Volume & Curl, and Volume Booster Lash Primer.

Drugstore Lips Makeup
There is a product that I love, but not many people talk about it, and it is the Essence Stay 8h Lip Liner.
These lip liners are amazing; they are retractile, smooth, and waterproof, and for the price of CAD 3.99, I believe they perform way better than others that are double the price.
