5 HOLY GRAIL Drugstore Makeup Products That Rival High End

[@emp2291]

These are my favorite kinds of videos. I am so over buying high end makeup only to be completely disappointed. Thank you for mentioning about creators with perfect lashes reviewing mascara. As someone with stick straight, down turned, won't hold a curl lashes, I need a reviewer who actually understands! Love your channel!

[@karenransom7307]

I love hearing about great drugstore products! More please! 😊

[@angelapennington4724]

The wet n Wild Tinted hydrator is my HOLY GRAIL! I literally use it every single day when I'm getting ready for work. It goes on smooth, not much work to blend, and it wears beautifully! I have SO MANY foundations that are slowly expiring because I CANNOT STOP using this wonderful product. Add to that it's only $5!!!

[@Genevieve-ni5el]

You need to do much more drugstore products, especially now that people are struggling financially and are seeking accessible, affordable, yet exceptional products- which the drugstore provides all these. You aren’t settling purchasing any of these.

[@kelbel1179]

Drugstore is hitting the mark lately, you’re right!

[@ediedodson6902]

Yes, please do more drugstore makeup. I love dupes also.

[@sandrachandler1543]

I love love love the Wet and Wild tinted moisturizer! It’s been in my rotation for a few years and hardly ever hear anyone mentioning it! Totally agree with you!

[@kimnarveson5190]

I love the drugstore videos the best! You always have amazing suggestions!

[@victoriarose466]

I LOVE the Wet N Wild Tinted Hydrator. I use it almost exclusively. It is so gorgeous and easy to apply. I am all about ease of use.

[@elaineowens9827]

Your absolutely right on the wet and wild lipgloss I love them

[@mimii3000]

Wet and Wild Tinted Hydrator is definitely my holy grail. Having combo skin especially now that I'm older, foundation for oily skin are just too drying for certain areas on my face especially under my eyes. And its so dang affordable! I hope they never discontinue or reformulate it!

[@samantha312314]

Oh I would have a fit if they reformulated or discontinued this!

[@cindywharton5558]

I love that tinted hydrator, I've stopped using normal foundation and just use this ❤

[@louisesharpy]

Your recommendations are always spot on and crazy good. Love good drugstore finds. They help me save money

[@Sunchild_26]

Thank you for always giving us both affordable and luxury! I am a luxury makeup wearer so I appreciate it! ❤

[@Jenni3p]

The Maybelline Lifter Liner is a top notch product, I fully agree! Thank you for recommending it 😊

[@ChristinePacinda]

Yes! That Panorama Waterproof Mascara is fabulous! I just started my second tube because I actually used up the first one rather than just let it dry out. And even though I'm suggesting a non-drugstore product, it looks (and lasts) even better over the Dior Lash Serum. I was actually accused of wearing false lashes when I wore that combo, and the curl also stayed in my lashes all day.

[@tanitahensley1337]

That mascara is SO good. Best I have ever used!

[@brendab62]

Recently discovered your videos and relate as I have combination oily skin even though I am now 62. My skin used to be terribly oily. So I feel I can relate to products you talk about. Thanks!

[@Jess-bee]

Thank you! 💗

[@jennifermolina4396]

Mine are: Any L'oreal mascara (I've repurchased Lash Paradise so many times that I've lost count), L'oreal foundation (the serum one with the dropper is my favorite. I have 3 bottles on hand), Nyx Can't Stop Won't Stop pressed powder, L'oreal Infallible Setting Spray, Elf putty and sticky primers, Maybelline Lifter Glosses (all of them!), Milani Luminoso Baked Blush (best ever), Hard Candy eyeshadow stick in the shade Pony. I use it as an eyeliner. Love these products. Oh and, the Elf duo complexion brush. That's my favorite brush ever. Colourpop Super Shocks, Colourpop That's Taupe pallet. I really like Colourpop eyeshadows. And yes! The Wet N Wild Glosses are amazing! They're less than $3 on Amazon. I'm in love with them. And the L'oreal Infallible bronzer. I use that as an eyeshadow daily. I love it. I have the lightest color and it's a perfect crease color for me. So, I basically use 90% drugstore makeup. I'm currently obsessed with the CT glowy foundation in the stick. It makes me skin look beautiful after I powder it. I must powder. I'm oily.

[@Genevieve-ni5el]

The Wet and Wild tint serum is also really good. Believe and Profusion also have excellent foundations, as well as Revolution at Walmart where the most a product costs is $5. Their Baby Glossy Lip lip gloss is amazing, better than most of the viral high end lip glosses and it’s $2.99 at Walmart- so small while holding a lot of product that they are great to throw in your pocket even, makeup bag, purse, desk as work, gym bag, etc. Those liquid Essence blushes are great as well as their eye and lip liners and brighten up powder- just a few dollars too! The Elf $2 lip liners you can not beat. They just need more shades. Elf pot corrector a MUST as well as their grip facial mist (green.) The Elf Extender tubing mascara AMAZING. The new Maybelline in the fat hot pink tube is also great. Their tattoo styling gel brow mascara with red cap is fool proof but I also love the build a brow for a pen.

[@annettehankins3268]

Loved this video. Many of these products I use already but glad to find some new products to try. Please do more of these videos. Thanks!

[@chantelle5975]

Thank you Stephanie for another great video. Personally I’m so tired of influencers pushing the same items over and over again…it’s very refreshing to have videos like this one. I have never seen anyone talk about the Vella Yue brushes from Amazon ….they are truly exceptional, in particular I love the angled powder foundation brush ( not the one for liquids) I use it for my liquid foundation and I love it. I recently bought the BK beauty foundation brush thinking it was going to be better than my $7 dollar Vella yue….its not! I also love their white large powder brush in the shape of a rose…I love using it with my Givenchy powders! Please try them, would love to see what you think about them! ❤

[@melp8175]

I’m devoted to your recs, I’ve forgotten about wet& wild hydrator , need to try Essence new blushes, , adding to my ULTA list. Love the Cp pallette, and will try that ! Thx as always !!

[@GenDoyon_2023]

Mascara is definitely one of those polarizing products. I tried that mascara and it worked just ok for me. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I found the brush too prickly. My go to is the Lash Princess from Essence, the purple tube. 😊 Now I have to try those blushes from Essence, they look beautiful. 🫶🏻

[@CalumMaxwell-ky2fu]

Your closet is simple a dream! Not just the *yutulu* bags but the ready to wear that you have is absolutely stunning.

Stephanie Marie , you are beautiful! I’ve not watched your videos in awhile or anyone’s but today I thought I’d catch up!❤ I absolutely love love these products & im so impressed!!!❤❤❤ this is exactly what ive wished for…this type foundation/skin tint …. The price is unbelievable ! I trust your judgement so thank you so much!!!❤❤❤

[@karinascosta1218]

Yes, we need more!

[@CherryRussellTraffanstedt]

Great products! I use and love all of these as well! When you were talking about the mascara, I was like…YES!!! My skin tone and lashes are the same as yours, so I trust your opinions if I’m unsure about a product!

[@StefanieMorgan-b3r]

Thank you for sharing amazing affordable products! We have a one income home so that I can teach my two special needs kiddos so this is so great❤

I look forward to your drugstore makeup videos Thank you May I please ask your top drugstore concealers for mature women with very dark hollow under eyes please 🙏🏼💜

[@dlj548]

i enjoyed this video. I don't buy drugstore products because I have dry mature skin and was worried that they wouldn't work for me. Your video has made me rethink that. Thank you

[@kcloveonaleash]

I use a serum, moisturizer with SPF then my drug store products!! I'm 71 and it looks great. P. s. Use a setting spray🎉

[@muddyotterspottery569]

The Wet and Wild Bare Focus Tinted Hydrator Tinted Skin Veil is my fail-proof, grab-and-go skin tint. I have a shoebox full of foundations, but I end up grabbing this one a lot!

[@suzannesteele1275]

Great video! Thank you! Your drugstore reviews are so helpful bc I can go to Sephora and test the high end but with drugstore packaging, I can never tell consistency/color, etc. Also, I appreciate the time you put in to your review/testing. Thanks for your thorough process. :-)

[@parksbpknit]

Yes, more please!!!!

[@midlifemom5829]

I like the Maybelline brow pencil but still prefer NYX lift and snatch because the brush is a smidge stiffer and finer giving a thinner line

[@LRLC1123]

Loved your video.Your makeup looks so natural and pretty.

[@StephanieMarie]

Thank you so much!!

[@sherrihowe5631]

Great video, as always, Stephanie! Do you have a recommendation (or point me to one of your videos) for a drugstore eyeshadow primer? Thanks again!

[@EricaGarcia2000]

I didn’t care for the waterproof Panorama mascara when I first opened it, but after some time passed I went back to it, and now it is amazing! Definitely reminded me that first impressions aren’t everything.

[@jonimargotta7073]

Love your videos and would love to know about your favorite eye creams and new concealers

[@cjinpa5713]

Just placed an alter ego order and have that 7 piece brush set plus an extra shimmer brush and an 8 piece eye brush set and 2 palettes on the way. I used Jen Phelps code for this order and will use yours for my next. I’m sure Bk beauty brushes are fabulous however I can’t afford to pay 5x the amount for a synthetic brush set. I’m just not in that financial class. I did order the beaky beauty brushes you recommended on Amazon during prime days with your link but haven’t had time to try them yet. Did get them washed though so hopefully soon I’ll get to use them. I’m thrilled for all those financially blessed to buy high end brushes and make up but I am going to be extremely picky and researched going forward. I just got the maybelline lifter liner and a gloss with my Walgreens points and thought both were lovely. I think I got the deeper pink nude so I will be going back for line lifter and a lighter gloss or maybe just try that wet and wild gloss instead. I am ecstatic to learn about alter ego 🤗. This is so much more my price range of products!! I went a little crazy on ultra’s but 2 get 1 when the buttermelt blushes were on sale so for now I’m good to go on blush 🤭 but will keep those essence ones in the back of my mind 🙏❤️

[@zenabraithwaite1934]

I love the regular brown/black panorama mascara.

[@kelbel1179]

Panorama and the Telescopic are my drugstore mascara faves too!

I have eyelashes similar to yours and those type of mascara applicators are perfect for me.

[@bethgrundon3978]

Great video! I love ALL of these products. Especially the first one. I wear it daily!! I'm very loyal to my drugstore products 🩷

[@cuppajoylady]

Stephanie, do you know your seasonal color analysis? I'm a true/bright spring - always on the hunt for gorgeous fall lip color (that stays) for my coloring.

[@sayuriisme9728]

I just love your videos. It’s amazing - I’m older than you and surely look nothing like you but so many times you take the words right of my mouth when you talk about beauty concerns - with this video it was the lash thing and the brow pen situation. I also was impressed with that mascara you talked about. Don’t have any tips on removing waterproof mascara? The Garnier micellar water used to work great for me but for some reason it doesn’t work as well anymore…

[@danielalondongirl933]

@@sayuriisme9728 try a cleansing balm with wash cloth it melts it all away!

[@terrirojas]

Oh Stephanie, you and I are eyelash and mascara twinsies except for this one! I was so excited to see what mascara you were going to feature and then 😩. To be fair, I've only used it once so you know how mascaras go, you gotta use them a couple of times to oxidize the formula properly 😜

[@dinurse8591]

My new drugstore love: Nyx can’t stop won’t stop foundation. It was a recommendation from Risa does makeup and it certainly was the right choice for oily skin in FL. I took it with me to tropical, hot and humid Barranquilla, Colombia and it didn’t disappoint especially on my mature skin (I am 46 yo)

[@StephanieMarie]

It’s great. I’ve recommended it more times than I can count and have it in my recent top fill coverage foundations video. Such a good foundation!

[@risarahn7083]

My eyelashes are also difficult to work with. They are stick straight! I find that if put on my face and curl my lashes one day, then they won’t curl the next day. I can only wear waterproof mascara. I use mabeline with a tiny brush to get the 1st coat on. And then I go in with that same L’Oréal mascara.

[@LenaSheppard]

Thanks for sharing. This was fun. Oh the lip liner is gorgeous!! I love a good brow pen; I'll have to ck that out. I'm so, so grateful you're here !

[@JackieMarshall-kx6cr]

The mascara looks very nice on you; I have the non waterproof one and don’t care for it. I may have to try the waterproof one 😁

I’m not buying any more high end foundations, my drugstore ones such as ELF, L’Oréal and Catrice beat Nars, Lisa Eldridge and Giorgio Armani in my opinion!

[@terrirojas]

I clicked 👍 at "cold dead hands" 😜😂🤣

[@claudiah8905]

Love the wet n wild tinted hydrator! Only the shade range is so bad…in Germany we only have 4 shades I think 😂 But I really don’t like the Panorama Mascara 🤷🏻‍♀️ Maybe it is too wet

[@kerriwright4593]

I only use the maybelline brow pen. I've tried expensive ones, other drug store, they're too liquidy almost and deposit too much pigment imo. I am a redhead so it is really difficult to find good brow products in good shades for my brows. This has both for me.

[@spinmama6924]

What lip balm are you using to help bring color back to you lip lines?

[@StephanieMarie]

Lippe :) I said it in the video and put it on screen 💗 I forgot to add it to my description box and just added it! Here you go! bit.ly/2XXutBr

What is your favorite powder to use over the Wet n Wild Tinted Hydrator

[@samantha312314]

I have combo leaning more oily. I use a matte primer under and Maybelline fit me loose setting powder with a light dusting of NYX can’t stop won’t stop matte pressed powder. Lasts me all day. Last week I had several 12+ hour days and did not have to touch up once

[@marlenekerrmarlene1259]

yes think the mascara is a good brand = hard to find a good one

[@MaríaMorote-h2t]

I don't mean to be rude at all but there's no way I'm going to believe that at almost 50 you achieved that perfect, intense lip line with a lip balm. Peptides hidrate and might have a bit of an anti aging effect but they don't do much more than that (you can watch Dr Dray's video on peptides). They aren't going to define your lip line at all. You shouldn't be recommending a balm that costs 20$ and is only going to condition your lips. I don't like influencers lying about what they get done or hiding it. There's nothing wrong with admitting you had them tattooed or whatever.

[@melissavermillion1101]

Question: How do you remove the waterproof mascara? I am one who doesn't tolerate well oily substances around my eyes. I would try waterproof mascaras but I can never remove them totally and end up with "crispy lashes".😂

[@StephanieMarie]

I just did an entire video on makeup removers :)

[@lauramcnally1805]

You spent too little time on showing the actual package so that we know what to look for in the drug stores.

[@StephanieMarie]

KZbin has a rewind and a pause feature if it’s not enough time for you :) All products are also sourced in my description box for reference

[@kimfroman2023]

ULTA and Amazon are not drugstores. Drugstore makeup should be able to be found at CVS or Walgreens or Wal-Mart ...

Next who copy tati Westbrook 🤣🤣🤣

[@StephanieMarie]

Is this supposed to be a sentence? Some kind of insult? 🤷🏼‍♀️ If making beauty videos and being female makes someone copy Tati, then hundreds of us are guilty 😂 I can’t think of anything else that’s similar since we don’t look alike. I’m older and have been on KZbin for eight years making the same kind of beauty content the whole time. Thanks for watching!
