The Last Drugstore Makeup You'll Ever Need

[@tanyacastellanos1432]

I think a high end version of this video would definitely be fun to watch. Speaking as someone who is relatively new to the makeup world, I would love to see you do a live video where people can ask you questions about makeup and receive an answer in real time.

[@nataliebaer13]

Great ideas! Would love to see those videos as well! 😁

[@melindagenitempo2359]

Great idea

[@shannonsuggs1152]

Yesss!

[@cristinaortega4526]

Omg! Yesssss, I love this video. What a true and a real girlfriend you are, Ali☺️🌸💌 My mother in law has very similar features, she is high end ♥️🤗🌹

[@Muzikmunkee]

I would recommend the Essence Cosmetics long lasting eye pencil- it's very inexpensive but works beautifully & it is, as the name of the product implies, long lasting.. it also comes in a range of 11 shades which is fun... Love you Allie xx

[@pixieburton3131]

It’s obvious that you truly chose what you think are the best products. No trends, no hype. Truly good products. Thank you Allie, this is so important for young viewers. Bless you!!!!

[@samisalas7402]

That foundation is what I wore the day of my scheduled C-section. It really lasted 24 hours and looked great. Had all the nurses asking what I was wearing and where I got my lashes.

[@Patti-1962]

I only use affordable makeup, since having to stop working due to health issues. So this video is a great resource for me. Thank you so much!! You look gorgeous, and NO ONE would know you are only wearing drugstore makeup!🥰❤️

[@marywiththelonghair1330]

I don’t know what kind of foundation you like or your age or skin concerns, but if you haven’t tried the L’Oréal true match nude serum foundation - you need too! It’s so good. It’s not full coverage. But, it can be built up nicely. And the revlon colorstay for normal/dry skin is nice too. That one is more full coverage. ❤️

[@Patti-1962]

@@marywiththelonghair1330 Thank you so much for your comment, Mary. I have always worn full coverage foundations, but I’m ready to try something lighter and more current. I’ll definitely take s look at the L’Oreal foundation!

[@Hippidippimahm]

@@Patti-1962 you can always mix a full-coverage foundation with face cream or moisturizer to make a perfect tinted moisturizer or a lighter coverage foundation. It’s my absolute favorite tip and saves me money ✨💅🏻💄

[@Patti-1962]

@@Hippidippimahm I love that idea! I actually mix my foundations! A matte with a more dewy foundation so I can get the glow, but still have coverage. I use the L’Oreal Fresh Wear foundation as my matte product. But I will definitely try a moisturizer with it instead tomorrow! Thank you Leigh!!♥️♥️

[@palestar828]

There's nothing wrong with drugstore make up. With high end, you are paying for a name to be etched across a product.

[@lauraguida8482]

My favorite drug store eyeliner is Physicians Formula Eye Booster Ultra Fine Liquid Eyeliner because it's so easy to apply, lasts all day and is easy to remove. Your makeup today is pure PERFECTION!

[@audreycampbell9483]

I just posted about that one LOL! It is the best!

[@chelsearose7655]

Also, I am living for these videos of stuff that we already have. I think these past few years have been hard on a lot of people financially and having YTers who don't just constantly push buying and new products, overly hyped trends, and who actually shop their stash, or choose to do looks with things we may have, are so amazing! This is the content that I like (even if its not "popular") :D

[@palestar828]

Who said drugstore make up videos aren't popular? You're so wrong on that

[@StanescuGabi]

Best Eyeliner For me - L.A. Girl Ultimate Eye Intense Wear Eye liners!!! They are sooooo sooo good! I love them above any highend eye liner I’ve ever tried!

[@KristinWelton]

I’m obsessed with the NYX serum concealer! In fact, I haven’t been wearing foundation because of this!! Just one pump is in fact too much, even when using it as a foundation! It’s incredible! I love the Milani bronzer too!!! I keep going back to this one, too!

[@Clv30]

Essence eyeliners are so so good❤️❤️❤️

[@Roadie247]

Omg I completely agree on the concealer and powders! Haven’t tried the other but I’m definitely going to but omg that NYX concealer and the rimmel powder , Amazing and I’m 47 and still adore them.

[@rebnae]

This was a great video! The L'Oreal Infallible Fresh Wear Foundation is, in my opinion, the best foundation out there. I've tried SO. MANY. FOUNDATIONS. over the years (like an embarrassing amount of foundations), and this one takes the cake, high end or low end. It always looks beautiful, wears well, has so many color & undertone options, and does what it says it will.

[@HeatherTerry84]

I so wish L’Oréal was cruelty free, they have so many products that I’d love to try out

[@palestar828]

Why embarrassing amount? Wish I had the money to be able to do that. I'm 35 and only tried six foundations my whole life, all Drugstore

[@IvoryCherry]

yesss to a high end version of this video!!! I love this idea Allie!

[@spruhakurlekar261]

This was a video I didn't even know I needed! Would love a high-end version of this too! (and maybe mention which drugstore products you'd go for even over the high-end ones?)

[@williromita2527]

Years ago I discovered Maybelline Sensational mascara and used it faithfully for years. Then I went on a spending spree looking for the perfect mascara. After spending too much and trying many different mascaras, you reminded me how much I used to love this product. I bought myself a new one on sale for about $7 Cad. And now I am back using everyday! Thanks for steering me back to an all time great product and the only mascara I have ever worn that does not end up on my face or below my eye or anywhere else mascara can run. This stuff stays in place! I love it again so THANKS Allie!

[@jessicamcaleer9093]

The Flower blush in Spiced Petal is currently my favorite to use as an eyeshadow! It's gorgeous and builds up really well when I want a bit of a deeper peachy shade.

[@SandiTink]

I find that any product that feels like it’s my favorite for whatever reason is really the only product of that kind I need. Unfortunately, you can spend a lot and still not find what you’re looking for. Or you find your best of the best and it gets discontinued. That’s why videos like yours are so helpful. You’ve guided me to some of my faves, and I thank you so much!

[@Glamma_Karen]

Best drugstore eyeliner hands down, is Physician's Formula liquid liner. I've been using it for years and it has never failed me!!

[@michellemaurer1989]

I agree! The PF eye booster liquid liner is amazing and I rarely hear anyone talk about it. I have hooded eyes and it does not transfer, smudge or flake. I will choose that over any high end liner any day!

[@sunshinehaydeeify]

Agree!!! I have tried so many my favorite! I have really bad allergies and this one is faithful to me! Never leaves me stranded!

[@zoelove2330]

I agree! It has to be the waterproof one though! I have hooded eyes as well and it’s great!

[@Beautydemos]

If your eyes water, does it move at all? On the hunt for one!

[@bklynhelen3865]

NYX Epic Wear eye liner stick - in Gunmetal Gaze (charcoal grey) for everyday is great! It glides on and more importantly stays on. Perfect for the upper waterline.

[@mavrick6499]

I do not know how one person can come up with so many adjectives to describe a product! You are so articulate and I appreciate your professionalism as an influencer. Love the No7 powder.

[@elizabethlambright728]

I absolutely loved this video and it was just what I needed! Being a stay at home Mom on a budget I love that I can afford this makeup and also know that I’m choosing the right products over the hundred of other things to choose from and it was tested by your expert knowledge of makeup. Thank you for making a momma feel good about herself again!

[@LovetoLearn16]

I absolutely love this video! I would love if you did these updates often, like every few months you give us an update on what your favorite drugstore and high end products are and why they changed or not. I also would love more in-depth videos on why you chose each product as your favorite! For example, you talked about the NYX lipliners and I would love if you did a lipliner video talking about the different drugstore lipliners you've tried and what your experience was with them. As someone who is easily overwhelmed by all the choices and trying to figure out what products works for me it would be super helpful to learn from someone as experienced as you! I love your channel and have been binging your videos lately!

[@TracyCampanella]

Allie, I love the LA Girl eyeliners. My favorite shade is deepest brown, but I have at least 3 other colors. They're affordable and stay on well.

[@oliviayin6363]

100% on the Essence highlighter. I picked that one up on a whim one day and was so pleasantly shocked at how beautiful it looked! I'm never in the market for a highlighter these days because that one is truly all I need!

[@Becky_in_Tucson]

I adore that setting spray, and as you said, the mister is DIVINE!

[@Polkadottedkate]

Thank you for always mentioning Flower Beauty, it’s my favorite makeup of all time so I love that you appreciate it too! 🌸🌸🌸

[@Valentina_Salas18]

I've been trying to find a good drugstore bronzer so thank you for this video !! Came in perfect time!!! My favorite eye liner from the drugstore are the L'Oreal silk eyeliners 😍. Would love to see the high end version of this video so we know what's worth getting !!!

[@natalietanner9694]

Thanks Allie! This video is super helpful for me as I need to replace all my expired, pre-pandemic makeup.

[@lisagreco2038]

I absolutely love this, I am getting back into wearing makeup again and this video is fantastic for me . I especially love to see eye shadow pallets. Your makeup looks flawless, you are beautiful! Thank you!

[@ARWENxUNDOMIELx]

I never comment but your channel is my safe space. It’s half past midnight in France where I live and I just woke up from a nightmare. I immediately went to your channel to think happy thoughts before trying to go to bed again. Thank you for your good vibes. Love your « according to you » series by the way! Bisous 😘

[@Nini-tj6se]

Great recs! Thank you for holding up the product while talking about it! That shows youve perfected your tutorials

[@conniebarnes3326]

Such a beautiful, fresh face look today Allie. I cannot wait to go to the drug store this weekend and try some new products

[@crystalaudas5035]

This was so helpful for me Allie. I have several empties that I need to replace with new products as well as a need for a new foundation. The foundation that I have used for years no longer works for my skin. I am not sure if the formula changed or what, but the formula of the newest bottle I purchased is completely different. For eyeliner I use the Loreal infallible 24 hour brown and black eyeshadow! I love using this eyeshadow as an eyeliner instead of traditional eyeliner! It stays put and the application is easy!

[@kirstyo6943]

Maybelline unstoppable eyeliner in onyx is my favorite liner. I use it in my waterline and it never transfers to the lower. Thanks for a great informative video.

[@emmytoyen]

This was so helpful!!! Thank you. I was getting overwhelmed trying to pick budget friendly items that work at the drugstore. The timing of this video was amazing!!

[@pamelakellow4225]

I love the physicians formula liquid liner!

[@chelsearose7655]

From the bottom of this rosy cool-toned skinned girls heart, thank you for always representing the cool toned eye looks!

[@makayla8693]

Hi Rose 😮😮😮😮

[@sandijsmith8295]

Please do the high end version of this. I feel like I’ve got a really good set of both but would love to see your picks. Thank you for another great video.

[@amandakwolyk3711]

I've already bought some of these products because of your recommendations over the years! Yes! High end version please!

[@kristenreehil3196]

Colourpop That's Taupe is my favorite neutral palette for the fall/winter time. Colourpop Nude Mood and Going Coconuts are my everyday neutral palettes for spring and summer

[@shannonforsberg4118]

Lash Sensational!!! It's truly amazing! I'd also recommend Elf Bite Size eyeshadow quads. I've only tried Cream and Sugar so far, but I've heard good things about many others. They're only $3 so I can basically build a unique "palette" for the same amount as a normal palette.

[@alexmills3478]

I’m obsessed with your picks Allie! Especially the eyeshadows! I love cool toned shadows and the shade “coolada” from going coconuts is perfect for the crease to start any eye look or on its own!

[@summernights62]

The spiced petal shade of blush is soooo perfect for you!! It looks fantastic with your skin tones.

[@parisinthe30sx]

The best highlighter I've ever used is by catrice. It looks like healthy skin. No glitter just pure gorgeousness. I'm surprised more people don't talk about it. It beats out every high end highlighter I own. Oh and clump crusher mascara by cover girl. AMAZING

[@estelalima8438]

The Heartbreak Proof eyeliner from Wet n Wild is SO GOOD!!!

[@kz8772]

I like the Essence felt tip eyeliner and the Revlon Colorstay eyeliner that comes with a smudger.

[@physicaltech12]

I really like this video. When you talk about the versatile properties of the Loreal foundation , I wondered. Can you do a tutorial of how do you manage the foundation to change your coverage? How do you make it flexible, what are your tricks?

[@katherinegast5230]

We have our favorite comfort food..for the joy it brings. In eyeshadows. Going coconuts is my comfort.

[@sydnip2235]

The nyx liners and flower blushes are the best!!! And I would LOVE if every setting spray on the market had the same mister as the Colourpop one! It’s the finest mist!! The Morphe continuous setting mist is also a good one. I have been loving the Maybelline Lifter Glosses!! Specifically in Ice and Petal 💕 I don’t have the color Stone yet, but it’s a beautiful shade as well!

[@katrinam2309]

I love the Maybelline Lash Sensational mascara as well! I tried it out a few months ago at your suggestion, and it never fails to make my lashes look great all day 😊 thanks for the tip!

[@genbqueenof3781]

The Milani bronzer is also my ride or die, even against higher end ones I have. I have a light hand and have almost panned it!

[@AnnaCorleone]

No1 Eyeliner is essence the one with the blue top. It is a must have since years. Super black. Super precise and it is not draging.

[@98TMT]

The lip combo looks great honestly, I'll have to look at those products 🤩

[@pamelamonzingo6931]

Love this I use more affordable makeup most of the time. I heard the discontinued the Essence Shine Shine Shine gloss. I have an eyeliner for you to try. I use it to tight line my watery eyes and it stays better than anything else. It is the LA Girl Ultimate Eye liner.

[@ambersimpson52]

I love ever product you mentioned and own all of them. You did a great job at picking the products.

[@avaquinn6244]

Great idea!!! Loved this! It would be out of my financial comfort zone but would really like to see the high-end version, as well...& I'm soo excited about the eyeliners coming up! Thanks as always😘

[@natalied.9668]

Please do a high end version! There's so much out there, always great to see which products are truly worth it, with holy grail potential

[@jilla8503]

Omg Allie u chose my almost my whole makeup bag rn lol 😆 I’ve bought so many amazing products bc of you. You’ve never let me down EVER!! Also btw I have mature under eyes (I’m 44) & the no.7 powder is perfect for mature skin I feel especially. So sad the Essence lip gloss formula changed. It’s not the same now so love the ones u have bc the new formula sucks😩😔 Thx again. Love you xoxo❤️✌🏼

[@ashleyvettleson81]

I can’t get over how many of these I have thanks to you!! LOVE all your recommendations 💜

[@electrajones5462]

Love the flower blushes!! Hate the packaging. My love for the product overcomes a broken lid. :)

[@GirlinWonderland05]

I heard they re-did the shine shine shine glosses :/ people don’t seem to like them but haven’t tried myself …. Love all your recs!!

[@gingerjess3441]

Oh yes I love the new NYX concealer it is amazing! It's my favorite concealer - I like it even better than Tarte shape tape, Elf camo, and so many others!

[@ASIR-gg4ib]

i agree with a lot especially the bronzer! I've tried all from high-end to DS and this one was for me too!

[@jennifermolina4396]

I will have to try that Milani bronzer! It looks like a dupe for the Juvias Place bronzer duo. Which I think is amazing. Love your videos! As for eyeliners... I know it's not technically an eyeliner but I use it as one. The Elf No Budge Shadow Sticks, well, they don't budge! I have oily under eyes and they will stay on my lash line all day without running down my eyes. Best liner from the drugstore and high end in my opinion. And I also love Maybelline lip products. Especially the Lifter glosses... Those are fun!

[@nickyb7185]

Girl.. I love that pallet from color pop. I love there formulas in general. And I’m a cool tone person as well.

[@vn783]

The NYX concealer is soooo good. Sometimes I'll just wear that on my face with some powder on top and it looks great.

[@baileydubs]

That’s my fav mascara too! I go back and forth between that and the thrive one depending on my mood!

[@angrypoopcow411]

That Milani bronzer is my favorite also. I just finished one and had to repurchase it, I love it so much.

[@nancynewman1356]

You Rock! This is why I follow you. I love makeup, but I am not paying hundreds for something I wash off after a few hours. Thank you for remembering all of your fans who love drugstore makeup. God bless you!

[@maddieeeskywalker]

The drug store makeup is seriously stepping up their game! I find myself using my drug store makeup over high end all the time!🥰 Which makes my wallet happier😂☺️ Thank you for this list girl! Deff would love to see more drug store videos hehe love you!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@jenniferkenner1290]

“For me personally” (LOL, should be a drinking game on KZbin), I like all your picks but I would love this same concept in high end products. I love your channel!

[@palestar828]

Alcohol is evil. So glad I beat it

[@michellep9222]

High end but amazing is the One/Size 24hr liquid eyeliner...it last so long, and super black, tip is super easy to work with!

[@hazetaylor]

The best eyeliner at the drugstore for me is ABSOLUTELY the Maybelline Hyper Easy Liquid Pen No-Skip Eyeliner. Please, if you haven't already, TRY IT!! Actually I don't know why it hasn't gone viral yet. The No.1 reason is that it is SO easy to draw. It doesn't push the hood of my eye and messes up with the shade of the line. It doesn't dry down too quickly so you have some time if you want to adjust it, but it does dry down after and does not smudge (one time I accidentally slept in it, and the second day my eyeliner only faded a little bit). It is easy to take off too. The only thing I don't like is that it is not a matte finish but more like a matte-satin finish, I want them to come out with a jet black, matte version (that'll be a dream come true)!! In my opinion, it is better than the famous Stila eyeliner because the Stila smudges on me yet it is hard to take off. I also like the rare beauty eyeliner which is also very easy to draw, but the rare beauty leaks for me for some reason (and I know other people have a similar experience with it).

[@vickycorey8195]

I'm still using the rimmel powder, too! Got that from you!! The pixi line of eye liners is really good.

[@krisshue870]

It can be so overwhelming deciding what makeup to buy so thank you for doing this video. I keep coming back to the L'Oreal 24 Hour Fresh Wear foundation too. I'm actually looking for a good eye liner so I'm looking forward to your eyeliner video.

[@debbierosa9572]

Ok so I finally tried the lash sensational mascara and I’m in love! I love it more than lash paradise!

[@biogirl1381]

your choices were so solid!!! i still want to try the flower beauty blushes. i’m so bummed that the essence shine, shine, shine glosses were reformulated because they’re just not the same anymore!!! they were my favorite glosses of all time, and i will treasure the fact that i happened to buy a back up of my favorite by accident. 💖💖💖

[@melissamowery6309]

I love the Nyx bare with me serum concealer it’s my all my favorite drugstore concealer definitely a holi grail for me for sure ♥️♥️♥️

[@angelburgess4510]

The absolute best drugstore eyeliner I’m obsessed with is the Maybelline Hypereasy brush tip liner in waterproof pitch black. It is soo good. It’s a complete dupe for KVD tattoo liner. It doesn’t budge at all and goes on so easy and smooth and the pin stays wet and doesn’t dry out easily.

[@brandimiller2664]

My everyday eyeshadow palletes are the exact two you chose. Every. Single. Day. Absolutly love love them. My foundation pick was the one you chose until I tried the L'oreal True Match Nude with hyaluronic acid and fell in LOVE. My every day highlighter is Coty Airspun in Snow much ice. And my everyday mascara is Essence lash Princess the green one. Eyeliner is Nyx Epic Ink Liner in waterproof. Very easy to take off my sensitive eyes but does not budge when my eyes water.

[@84rinne_moo]

Yes the colorpop eye pallets are great! I think it’s so important to know about the tone of the colors cause they really will look different on different ppl’s skin! I had bought nude mood (which I didn’t know at the time of purchase was the warm toned palette) and I have such cool undertones that the colors looked awful on me, so orange and blah! So now I got that’s taupe like you instead.

[@Alice-fr1ef]

Hi Allie, I have most of those brands mentioned in today's video. Thank you for your ok on them. I love them too.

[@TheJalebe73]

Elf wow brow for sure! For your eyeliner video, my favorite hands down is Essence Extreme Lasting eye pencil. It’s so creamy, but waterproof and actually stays in my waterline!

[@christiechilders6702]

I love love love to layer both of those mascaras together!!!

[@pegwilson5801]

I just want to thank you sooooo much for this video! Absolutely wonderful information. I do like high end but with the price of gas and groceries it's hard to justify $40 lipsticks to the budget. I use a lot of the products already (yes, Maybelline Lash Sensational cannot be beat) but was happy to see a full face of beautiful, affordable make up. I will still treat myself but your recommendations will take the place of quite a few products. Thank you again!!!!!

[@femininityfaith7920]

This is amazing thankyou!!! These are the videos I need. Straight to the point. ❤️❤️

[@MrTinkleCruz928]

The L’Oréal foundation is Perfection it beats a lot of my high end foundations also I recently tried the maybelline tinted eyebrow mascara and it’s amazing .. definitely would love a high end Version of this

[@jillfoutz9557]

Yes! I would pick Lash sensational and going coconuts and pretty fresh setting spray too! Milani bronzer is good but my pick would be loreal's Lumi bronze it.

[@loridobos7174]

I would love to see a high-end version for your top pick(s) in each category.

[@Alice-oe4kd]

My coloring is very similar to yours so I really appreciated your list with the colors included. I love your videos ❤

[@rachelriner4284]

I have the coconut palette and some of those blushes! Gorgeous look and super affordable!

[@ashgemini867]

I own and love a lot of what you mentioned and I agree, they are amazing! I feel like the colourpop setting spray is so underrated, I always love how my makeup looks when I use it. Also, you look beautiful and those cream turtlenecks/shirts that you’ve been wearing lately are so so nice! I need to get me some ☺️❤️

[@kori3307]
