 Hey guys, what is up? Welcome to my channel. For today's video, I am going to be doing my drugstore makeup starter kit So maybe if you are just getting into makeup and you're looking for what is the best of the best at the drugstore I am here to help you out. So let's just get into it Hi guys, if you're new here, my name is Morgan. I'm a product knowledge enthusiast I just love knowing anything and everything about all kinds of makeup and what is new I would say primarily I do review high end and luxury products. However, I still do love my drugstore products I still am always trying some drugstore products on the side So I wanted to share with you the products that I really feel like competes with my high end and luxury products Also really exciting is that today's video is in a collaboration with my friend liora here on youtube Her channel name is liora's makeup loves 52 and I'm obsessed with her I think she is so bubbly so sweet and she is the tj max queen Now I love tj max and she does I feel like multiple videos a week on tj max and the new makeup that is in there And her tj maxes are much better than mine. I feel like she gets such amazing stuff But anyways, she not only covers tj max She covers a lot of high end and drugstore products and her content is just really fun And I think you guys will enjoy her She has such a lively energy to her that just makes me feel happy when I watch her Her and I have been planning this collab for a while our schedules never lined up So I'm really excited that we finally found the time to do it So make sure you guys go subscribe to her channel if you haven't already make sure you check it out And of course what's really awesome is you can see what her drugstore picks are as well So you get two videos telling you what the best of the best from the drugstore are All right now, let's get into it. So we're gonna start off with primers I tried to keep it to only one or two in each category So that I could give you options while still keeping it at a very curated and minimal list The first one is the nyx hydro touch primer. I feel like this is so underrated I never hear anybody really talking about it But it reminds me a lot of the two-faced hangover primer mixed with the smashbox primer I feel like if those two had a baby it would be this this is such A bomb primer you guys if you have dry skin, especially this time in the winter This feels lightweight, but it really does moisturize the skin very well So if you're looking for a great hydrating primer for the winter time, I highly recommend this I love this a lot more than a lot of my other high-end products So definitely recommend checking this guy out. The next one is a very very popular one This is the elf poreless putty primer, but it really is amazing Honestly, I prefer this to its high-end counterpart, which is the tacha silk canvas I think that this is amazing. I feel like it really moisturizes my dry skin Now it's not as hydrating as the nyx, but it is a hydrating primer, but it really does smooth the face So I will apply this to the center of my face where I notice I have a little bit more Pronounced pores and I do feel like this does help with my pores now You can only do so much with a product when it comes to your pores, but this does a great job I definitely think it's one of the best from the drugstore that I've ever tried So if you have drier more poreless skin, I highly recommend this one and it's very very affordable I have two Foundations to share with you guys one is a little bit more natural and glowy and then the other one is if you want something More matte and heavy-duty. So my all-time favorite drugstore foundation is from l'oreal This is again a very popular one, but this is the l'oreal infallible fresh wear foundation I wear the shade 430. This is so much better than a lot of my other high-end foundation So it looks like skin it makes your skin look glowy and fresh and it has that skin like finish It gives you a more medium coverage. You can build it up a little bit higher But I feel like it doesn't look heavy on the skin. It's very comfortable And it just gives you a very fresh appearance truly It is an amazing foundation when this guy came out It truly changed the game for drugstore foundations because this is very very hard to compete with So if you are a beginner with makeup, I highly recommend you try this foundation out It's so easy to apply and it wears really well and then it looks very natural Now my more heavy coverage matte foundation has to be the catrice liquid coverage I have mine in the shade sand beige But I think this is a little bit too light for me, but regardless it's an incredible foundation if you Love coverage. I actually really like mixing this with more of a dewy foundation Just to kind of tame it down a little bit But when I do want that full coverage look from a drugstore, this is the one that I go to now It's not natural I said the l'oreal is very skin like this is not skin like like you can see that you are wearing makeup because your skin is Just so perfected But I feel like there's a time and a place for a full coverage foundation and catrice really covers that when it comes to drugstore It is an amazing foundation. I highly recommend especially if you have more oily skin I think you will like this for a beginner. I would say this isn't the easiest to apply Definitely wet your sponge or maybe put in oil on your skin before you apply this But it's so good and it looks perfect on your skin Oops. All right now concealer. This is my number one favorite drugstore concealer I feel like a drugstore definitely has some really nice concealers, but the milani conceal and perfect This reminds me a lot of the georgio armani power fabric concealer They have a very similar consistency as far as how liquidy it is How easily it spreads on the skin and of course the coverage as well I would say this is pretty much a dupe for it. I have mine in the shade light natural. I love this I've heard mixed reviews about this concealer and I don't know how I feel like this is the most amazing concealer I've ever tried from the drugstore. The coverage is perfect. It's more of a medium to full. It's not quite full It looks natural under the eyes, but it still covers up what you need to cover up It smooths out under the eyes so easily and when you set it, you're good to go I don't find it to be overly creasy. So for me, this is one of my all-time favorite concealers And it's pretty affordable I think milani did a fabulous job with this formula and I haven't come across a concealer that reaches up to this From the drugstore powder and now this is my all time all time favorite setting powder luxury high-end drugstore This is the best. This is the maybelline fit me loose finishing powder. I have two shades I use fair light on my under eyes and light all over my face I feel like this fills my pores It gives the most soft focus a look to the skin and this is one of the powders that I really feel comfortable Baking with where it's not going to make your under eyes look creepy or powdery I just feel like the soft finish that it gives to the skin looks so perfected and Natural at the same time. I just I haven't come across a powder that I like better than this It's truly the best so many people love this and for a good reason But it's my favorite under eye setting powder. It really makes your face look so smooth and it's only a few bugs I need to get some fresh ones, but I use these all the time. That's my favorite bronzers Now this is a very popular bronzer. So this is pretty predictable, but I really do love the physicians formula butter bronzer It's just the perfect tone. It's not too warm, but it's not too cool It's the perfect neutral tone and I just think it applies so smooth to the skin It doesn't apply too much product. It's not too pigmented, but it is easy to build up as well It blends into the skin so seamlessly. So it's easy to use if you're a makeup beginner. It smells delightful It just looks great all over the skin. It's a Classically amazing bronzer. I think it just hits all the marks that it needs to now blush I have a lot of blushes that I love from the drug store But this is my all time favorite blush from the drug store. This is from all may This is like the only thing I own from all may, but this is the all may healthy hue blush I just love this shade in particular. This is nearly nude now They have a few other colors in this formula honestly as much as I want to buy those other colors This is still the only one that I have because it's just so perfect. It's a gorgeous nude shade It gives a natural sheen to the cheek while not looking overly shimmery shimmery While not looking overly shimmery It smooths over the skin blends out so easily not overly pigmented again But also applies just enough color you can build it up and it's impossible for this blush to apply patchy Because it's just so silky. It applies like silk onto the cheek. It's incredible I've been talking about this blush for a long long time. It's one of my all-time favorites highly highly Recommend so let's move on to highlighters I have two different formulas one a little bit more blingy one a little bit more natural both of these again very popular But for a reason I really like for a blingy highlight the Maybelline master chrome. I have the shade This is the lightest shade 250 This is the one that I'm wearing and I tried to use a really light hand because I didn't want it too too Blingy and shiny, but I really love this shade But it is a bit too white for me if you're looking for something a little bit more golden Molten gold is really nice or this one's probably my favorite though of all these This is the molten rose gold. So this one's a little bit more pinky I really like a pink highlight But if you're looking for something blingy, these are a very great Reliable formula. They're gonna give you a crazy glow. They're easy to blend into the skin as well Now if you want something more natural, I think miss Kathleen lights put us all onto this years ago This is the essence pure nude highlighter and it looks so boring in the pan But I promise you when you get it on the cheeks It's a glow from within you can build it up If you do want a little bit more of a glow and it emphasizes zero texture That's one of the most amazing things about this product is how little texture it emphasizes It truly is a gorgeous highlighter And I think now people are starting to realize that more natural highlighters are a bit more flattering on this skin And this is perfect and it's super cheap. It's like three bucks. I really love this Let's move on to the eyes and we're gonna start off with eyebrows I have two eyebrow pencils that have rocked my world with their amazing price So one is a little bit thicker and that one would be the elf instant lift brow pencil I use the shade neutral brown. So I used to not be into thick brow pencils I'm like the skinnier the better But I really love the color of this and how much color it deposits It I dropped it. It's a perfect pigmentation It feels a little bit cheap, but it's like three bucks You can't go wrong with it and I'm going to forever have this very affordable brow pencil in my collection When I travel or I stay elsewhere I like to bring more of my affordable products because if something happens, it's not that big of a deal This is what I bring. I just think it's the perfect color again Not too pigmented and it blends out But it stills a little bit waxy and powdery so that it will stay put So this one's a really good one or if you're looking for something a little bit more thin You can't go wrong with the color pop brow boss. Now, there isn't really anything crazy to say about this I just think it works really good and it's like five or six dollars and it's very very thin very comparable to the abh Or the benefit thin brown pencil. So if you're looking for something that's a little bit more affordable If this is a great way to go. I still prefer my benefit and abh to this one But for the price difference, there really isn't that much of a difference Alrighty, so let's move on to eyeshadow palette I have four in particular that I'm sharing with you and while I do love drugstore products I will say I am a bit of a snob when it comes to drugstore eyeshadows for the most part I really don't like drugstore eyeshadows There's a couple brands that I did want to share with you guys You know, if you are just starting out in makeup, this is what I do recommend So we'll start off with the two that I am wearing right now And these are the elf bite size eyeshadows and a lot of people have talked about them But they really are amazing for the price Now they have a whole range of colors and I haven't played with all of the colors But I will say from my experience. It seems like the colorful ones aren't very good I don't really like them But I still have a few more that I do need to play with But the two that have not let me down are the neutral ones. So I'm wearing a little bit of both I have on truffles. I only use this shade as my crease color But by the way, the black in here incredible The best drugstore black I've ever tried And then I also have mostly cream and sugar everywhere like this Golden shade is so creamy and pigmented. That's the shade all over my lid I have this shade as the inner corner I used all four shades of cream and sugar on my eyelid today But you know, these aren't the best eyeshadows that I've ever used But these guys are three dollar each and I think for three dollars These are great for somebody who is just starting out in makeup. You can't go wrong with oops You can't go wrong with three dollars and the quality of these are worth way more than three dollars So like I said recommend more so of the neutral tones because the colors I haven't had the best experiences with but Really awesome. Now the other two palettes that I love are from bh cosmetics I think bh has a lot of other great palettes to offer It's just that they do come out with quite a lot and I'm trying not to drown in new palettes But I want their blueberry muffin palettes. I want their sugar the the ice cream palettes But I've been content with these two so far. So these are two of my current favorite bh palettes That are still available. I have a few other older ones that were limited edition that are amazing These are the two that you can still pick up that are great But again, they have other new ones that are supposed to be amazing as well This guy currently I believe is like eight dollars on the bh website right now This is summer in st. Chopé. So if you're into more colors, this is one of the best drugstore eyeshadows I've ever tried now. I don't know if bh is necessarily a drugstore brand But it's at that price point So I'm gonna consider it to be because their eyeshadows are so good. They have a bomb formula now as far as I'm aware I think the formulas can be a little bit haremist But for the most part recently it seems that they've really killed the game So I would recommend that you dig into the newer palettes because their formula seems to have improved this guy Nobody really talked about but I created some bomb looks with this palette I'm gonna toot my own horn created gorgeous looks with this palette the shimmers in here are incredible The mats get the job done. There's like one or two shades in here that maybe aren't perfect But for eight bucks, I mean these are a comparable formula to a high end for sure without a doubt And then another fun one that I have is the avocado toast. This is a pretty new palette It is on sale right now, but it's not eight dollars. This one is more of a unique color story. This is green I don't have another palette that has a color story quite like this And I feel like for the most part the bh color stories are very unique as well So not only is the packaging cute and the color story is different, but the quality is also really really great So this had a counterpart. I think it was the mimosas that one is nice too But I don't like that one as much as I love these too So I recommend avocado toast if you're into these crazy green tones again the quality in here Shocking how that they are those are the two kind of products I recommend looking into as far as eyeshadows But I do think if you're gonna invest in something from the drugstore It does need to be eyeshadows because I'm a snob. All right, let's move on to Eyeliners now. I only have one black liquid liner that I truly Love from the drugstore as far as I can remember and this is a new product. This is from Maybelline This is the master precise all day matte liner. It is a felt tip if you are not into felt tip I like felt tip liners. I'm not really picky about the tip of my liners But I feel like as of now from what I've tried This is the most matte and black liquid liner that I've tried from the drugstore My only tip with this one is that you don't layer too much Don't go back and forth because it can feel a little bit tight and crusty if you apply too much of this But luckily it is so matte It is so black that you really don't need to layer too much Anyways, you get that full opacity right away. So I feel like this stays put. It's so black It's easy to control. You get the perfect amount of product out at once. This is a newer product and I've been loving it I think it's amazing the best liquid liner I've tried from the drugstore I like it better than the next one. That's really popular than elf wine. That's really popular This one beats that humble opinion. Um, and then eyeliners. Okay Again, I wasn't sure if Colourpop was a drugstore company, but for the sake of these eyeliners They're going to be today their cream gel eyeliners are amazing. There is not a better Pencil liner than these cream gel liners. I didn't affordable price So I'm going to talk about Colourpop even if they're not a drugstore product But these are like six bucks each and I love using cream gel liners that are colorful in my waterline to really go with a Colorful look right now. I am wearing honey, dude, which is a skin tone. It's okay But where Colourpop stands out is with the colored ones You'd be surprised if you're into colorful makeup. How much a colorful liner really changes up the look. They're cheap They have so many colors. I did just order the colorful bundle of eyeliners That just came out for the holidays from Colourpop because it was such a bomb deal definitely get them in sets But even if you're not as adventurous with your makeup I recommend going for some colorful liners from Colourpop because they change the game for me I love colored eyeliners in my waterline. Now, I'm not going to say these are the longest lasting They're really really not But I love the colors that they have and they really apply a lot of color To the waterline as well and they change up a look. So I love these. I think they're really really great Now a mascara I love the essence lash princess mascara. I don't recommend this one love with this color They have a mascara that's more blue greeny. That's the one you want to go for that one's better I just don't have it right now because i'm trying to work through my mascaras That's the one I recommend not this one, but that is my all-time favorite mascara It's the best one. I've ever used it lengthens it volumizes my lashes looks so good with that mascara I really miss having it in my collection. So that's my favorite one from the drugstore Now, let's move on to falsies. I've talked about these for months These are the ardel naked lashes make sure you get the ones in this like nude pink packaging These are natural, but they look like lash extensions So these aren't my go-to glam lashes by any means But if you like the look of natural lashes, but you want to have that look of like lash extensions These do it. I have currently in my rotation two styles. They have more I believe they actually just came out with more styles. So I'm excited to try those right now I have four twenty ones on and you can see they're super duper natural and they're very very thin So they're easy to apply to the lash line as well and they look wispy and again that lash extension Look, I love it. Another style is four twenty four. This one's a little bit more layered But they all look great on the eyes my absolute favorite everyday lashes have been these naked lashes Okay, so let's get going with the lip products again something about the color pop liners like these pencil liners They kill it. Can you tell that? I love color pop lippy pencils the best affordable lip pencils now I also like nicks. I think nicks has a nice formula, but these if you like creamy lip liners These are the ones that you're going to want to go for I'm sharing with you my top three most used colors But again, I recommend just buying a set off of color pop.com because you'll reach for them all the time They're very affordable. So I use little one BFF and then for something a little bit more pinky mobby I'll use oh snap. So bff's the lightest nude that I have and then little one is going to be kind of in between I'm currently wearing little one as my lip liner right now So these are the three personally for an everyday nude lip that I recommend the most But I just think these are a fabulous formula because they're not very drying. They're not waxy at all They're that creamy formula that feels similar to Charlotte Tilbury and Pat McGrath They're not quite as long lasting as those brands, but they're six dollars So I'm not going to complain and they certainly do the job and I have so many colors So I use them all the time. Let's move on to liquid lipsticks now I haven't had the best luck with liquid lipsticks from the drug store But ever since masks became a thing these Maybelline Superstay inks are perfect for mask wearing. These don't budge They're a little bit uncomfortable and you don't want to reapply them because then they might get a little bit crusty But as far as just putting them on the lips They do not move after that first application and they are the best solution to mask wearing Now I mostly have the ones from their coffee collection My most used to our caramel collector, which is a little bit more warm really great for the fall It's a little bit more on the deep side and this is a cooler toned color. This is chai genius Highly recommend this one. This one is my current favorite shade relatively comfortable on the lips But most importantly, they don't move now the absolute best Lipstick formula from the drug store that I've tried and this I would say their formula is great But almost I like their colors the most are flower beauty lipsticks I talk about this all the time. So I'm going to sound like a broken record, but I Do bridal makeup. I haven't done that much recently But I did bridal makeup and they have the perfect everyday Bridal colors and the formula feels quite luxurious. Now the packaging you can tell it is plastic But it looks so expensive you guys I wonder if they are selling these at CBS right now. I believe which one am I wearing? I'm wearing spice petals. So this one's going to be a great everyday color. Let me swatch a few others We have bear pout now This one's going to be your center of the lip color because that one is really really bright But it is gorgeous peachy nudist stunning You're gonna love nika blush as an everyday color and then cinnamon crush is one of the deeper ones that I have I have a few other colors currently right now in my makeup collection But you could see what a wearable range that they have and the lipsticks themselves are quite creamy You know, they're not creamy like a charlotte tolbury kissing formula But they're still very creamy and for the price that you pay I believe they're around eight dollars really great And I do recommend picking up a few of them from the website because the colors are truly great everyday colors To just throw in your purse. I find these a lot in my purse is hiding because you can just throw them in and they're great colors Okay, so let's move on to lip glosses. I have two different formulas for you Now the first one is from morphe. I know some of you guys are like really morgan morphe Their lipsticks hear me out you guys first of all their lip glosses are made in the usa So that is really awesome. A drugstore product made in the usa is not quite common And they have an amazing reliable formula. I'm currently wearing boho and they just get the job done You know, they're a little bit sticky so they're gonna last but they're not Slidy like actually they're not really sticky at all. If I'm being honest, they last relatively well You know, they're not their shiniest lip glosses, but they have great colors They're very affordable and there's nothing wrong. I can say with these lip glosses And then the other one these are my purse lip glosses. I've had these for years They just have the most amazing range of colors. They're easy to throw on these are the nyx Butter glosses here. So I have praline Fortune cookie is one of the best nude lipstick or lip glosses Excuse me and then terra misu is kind of the everyday Lip gloss color for me. I'll layer this one on top. So these do have just enough pigmentation So they're not completely clear. So that means you should purchase more than one color You know, I don't like lip glosses that are too sheer because then there's no point in buying other colors These are perfect because they give you just enough color to justify buying more than one color But they also aren't fully pigmented to where it's like too much, you know, they're perfect All right. So let's move on to the final product We have a finishing spray and it's pixie drugstore I'm gonna consider it because they sell it at target. This is the pixie glow mist The best now if you have oily skin and you don't like a glowy mist Don't buy this. It's not very good. You will not like it But if you're like me dry skin, I have never had a glowier mist Like a lot of times I feel like with setting sprays, they don't actually like make your face glowy This is one that genuinely does like you can easily apply too much of this and then be way too glowy But I feel like this sets the makeup I don't it doesn't make it last longer, but it really gives that glowy look to the skin So I really like it. I hate the smell of this. It smells like fish to me I don't know the actual finish on the skin is stunning for a glowy look All right, you guys that is all I have for today's video. Those are all of my drugstore recommendations for a drugstore Starter kit. I'm really excited to see what leora's favorites are I'm always looking for new drugstore products to share with you guys So if there's anything that's amazing that I need to try Be sure to comment down below because I'm due for a drugstore haul and tutorial very very soon I am on the lookout for sure.
