These products are so good that if you put them in a luxurious package and sell them at a higher price, you would never know they are actually drugstore makeup.
Okay, let’s jump to the best makeup list.
This post is about Drugstore Makeup Products Better than High End.
1. NYX Cosmetics, Thick It Stick It Thickening Brow Mascara
This is a new product from NYX that instantly became viral and for a good reason. With only a few strokes, your brows look thicker and put together. Since I discovered this product, my brow routine has fewer steps, and my brows look more natural and better.
Where to Buy
Ulta- $12.00
2. L’Oréal Lash Paradise Mascara
This mascara is a Holy Grail in my collection; I’ve repurchased it over and over. The Lash Paradise Mascara provides exceptional length and volume without clumps or flakes. You can read more about it in my Best Drugstore Mascaras article.
Where to Buy
Ulta – $12.99
3. Hard N Candy Hydrating Primer
This primer has been a favorite for the past 2 years; if you want a dupe for the Milk Hydro Grip Primer, this is the one! The Hard N candy primer provides hydration and keeps your makeup in place all day; the best of all, it retails for only $6.99.
Where to Buy
Walmart – $6.96
4. Catrice TrueSkin Foundation
This foundation is fantastic! It gives you medium to full coverage but with a beautiful natural finish. The foundation is long-wearing and contains Hyaluronic Acid.
Where to Buy
Catrice – $10.00
5. Flower Beauty Light Illusion Perfecting Powder
This powder is an excellent dupe for Charlotte Tilbury’s Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Powder. The flower beauty perfecting powder is lightweight but provides a flawless finish; it’s not drying or cakey and lasts all day.
Where to buy
Ulta – $15.00
6. Catrice More Than a Glow Highlighter
This is one of the most beautiful and intense highlighters I have ever tried. You can use it a little for a lovely glow, or build it up for an intense finish. The formula is incredible, even though its powder doesn’t look cakey and has no glitter.
Where to Buy
Catrice – $6.00
7. Milani Silky Matte Bronzer
This is probably the best matte bronzer at the drugstore. There are a lot of great, affordable bronzers, but the Milani one is incredible. The bronzer blends nicely and doesn’t look patchy; the texture is soft and long-wearing.
Where to Buy
Walmart – $8.99
8. Maybelline Sensational Shaping Lip Liner
I prefer these lipliners over any high-end ones! These liners are retractable, they also have a sharpener, and the formula is buttery and long-lasting.
Where to Buy
Ulta – $8.49
9. Milani Color Fetish Matte Lipstick
This is another new product that is going viral. This lipstick packaging is luxurious, and the formula is so buttery. Even though these are matte lipsticks, they feel comfortable on the lips without drying.
Where to Buy
Ulta – $10.99
10. Maybelline Lifter Gloss
Maybelline lip products are all incredible, but the lifter glosses are exceptional; in my opinion, these glosses beat any high-end product. The formula is comfortable; the lips feel plump and juicy without stickiness.
This gloss is formulated with Hyaluronic Acid for extra hydration and has around 20 shades.
Where to buy
Ulta – $10.99
