Top Drugstore Makeup Finds


You might think that makeup artists who work with top clients only work with top-shelf products, but according to Allure magazine, that simply isn’t the case. Even professional makeup artists use makeup coupons on occasion, and a lot of drugstore products are every bit as good as their pricier department store counterparts. Here, makeup artists Susan Giordano and Emily Kate Warren highlight their favorite drugstore finds.

         MASCARA: Cover Girl LashExact in Black, $ 8.47
         This great, clean formula can be layed on thick without clumping, and its pretty purple tube looks lovely on any vanity – which is why it’s Giordano’s go-to. 
         EYELINER: Prestige Cosmetic Liquid Eyeliner in Black, $5.75
         Giordano praises the inkwell-style bottle and tapered applicator, which creates precise and clean lines.
         BLUSH: Sally Hansen Natural Beauty Inspired by Carmindy in Bloom, $8.95.
         Warren loves the natural-looking color of this blush, which she calls “true and long-lasting.”
         LIPSTICK: Maybelline New York Color Sensational in So Pearly, $7.49.
         When using makeup coupons, Giordano likes this nude shade. It suits a wide range of skin tones, because “it’s sheer and shimmery,” and can be worn day or night.
         MAKEUP BRUSHES: Sonia Kashuk line, $2.99-$15.99
         Makeup artists praise the high quality of these brushes as “incredible.” The super-soft bristles make for easy blending of blushes and shadows.
