Foundation
Flower Beauty Light Illusion Foundation
https://www.ulta.com/light-illusion-liquid-foundation?productId=xlsImpprod17631333
Flower Beauty is owned by Drew Barrymore and I looove Drew Barrymore. I love her movies, I love her boho chic style, I love how down to earth and fun she seems and her 90s grunge makeup vibe still makes me happy. This foundation is one of my favorite foundations EVER, which is amazing because it's $14!! If you have oily skin, it probably won't be your friend. If you have dry skin like me then you will absolutely love it. The coverage is great, the finish is dewy and beautiful and when I set it, it lasts on me for a good amount of time. I'm truly obsessed.
Concealer
Colourpop No Filter Concealer
https://colourpop.com/products/fair-02
Again, this is one of my top favorites of all times. It's creamy, it gives nice coverage, it doesn't make my undereyes look dry or cakey and I'm impressed with how little it creases. The best part...it's $6!!!
Powder
RCMA No color Powder
It's $12 and performs really well, even on my super dry skin. I will say that I hate the packaging, but you do get a ton of product and it will last you a really long time so your $12 goes a long way.
Blush
Milani Baked Blushes
https://www.ulta.com/baked-blush?productId=xlsImpprod17081057#
These blushes are beautiful. They have such a nice sheen to them and are easy to build up. My favorite is Luminoso of course. They are $8! I've heard great things about the Flower Beauty blushes as well.
Highlight
Wet and Wild MegaGlo Highlighting Powder
https://www.ulta.com/megaglo-highlighting-powder?productId=xlsImpprod16411015&sku=2516739&_requestid=3218666#
These are so gorgeous. They are not as blinding as I usual go for, but amazing for everyday. It gives such a beautiful glow to your skin and they are like $5. I actually bought these for my best friends as part of their christmas gift because I love them so much and they wear them most days too.
The Flower Beauty Shimmer & Strobe Hightlight Palette is stunning. It gives you that wet look, which I love. ($16)

Eyeshadow Palettes
Colourpop has such amazing quality eye shadows for such affordable prices. My favorite palettes are the Kathleen Lights Dreamstreet and the Yes Please Palette.
BH Carli Bybel Palette
This is one of my fave palettes. It's currently on sale for about $18 at Ulta, which is insane. I know that when this sells out, it is gone forever so I'd highly suggest grabbing it now.
Juvias Place Masquerade Palette
This palette is $25, which is the most expensive item I've mentioned thus far BUT...you get 16 shadows, the pan sizes are large and these are some of the best quality eyeshadows I've ever worked with. Honestly, they are so buttery and pigmented, the shimmer shades are so shimmery, the matte shades blend easily. I also really adore the Douce Palette ($21) although it's not quite as wearable or as much bang for your buck. They do have sales so look out for that and you can also use discount codes from beauty influences. Nikkietutorials has one and her code is NIKKIE so you can save a couple bucks that way as well.
Mascara
Loreal Voluminous Lash Paradise

This is a really great dupe for Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara. Honestly, I think I even like it better and it's a fraction of the price ($10).
Lips
NYX Lip Lingerie Liquid
I'm not the biggest fan of liquid lipsticks as you may know, but I got one of these in my Ipsy bag was so impressed. It's comfortable, it lasts, it doesn't fade into a crackly mess. I'm a fan. I also love NYX butter glosses.
Colourpop
I know I keep mentioning colourpop, but it's one of my favorite brands. I am not a fan of their liquid lipsticks, but I do enjoy their lippies, lipsticks, ultra satin lips and glosses. I also love that they have so many fun colors, but also a huge array of nudes.
Setting Spray
Pixi Glow Mist ($15)
https://www.pixibeauty.com/products/glow-mist?variant=31991600899
I love using this to set and refresh. It gives me that dewy look. I also like using it in place of Mac fix plus to spray on my brush for shimmer shades to give them that extra metallic look.
To be completely honest, I don't have a drugstore bronzer because I love my hourglass one so much that nothing can compare. I also don't have a drugstore primer or brow products because I'm fairly set in my ways in those departments. What are your favorite affordable makeup products??
