Top 3 DRUGSTORE FAVORITE MAKEUP PRODUCTS in Each Category for Mature Skin

[@thepuglady3931]

I just started watching this video and wanted to say how noticeable it is that you stopped wearing concealer. Your whole face looks so smooth and soft and your eyes seem to be brighter and more of the focal point on your face. Sorry if that sounds weird but, basically, I love that you stopped wearing under eye concealer because you look younger and more beautiful without it. 😁

[@MrsMelissaM]

Doesn't sound weird at all my friend. Thank you so much. Its definitely a game changer!

Thanks for the tip of putting highlighter underneath foundation - I’ve never thought any highlighter looked “right” on my skin because it yelled out “hey, look at me” because I’ve applied in the standard “after contour and blush” way. Also - love the Milani Baked Blushes - they are SO good! And, finally, thanks to you, I’ve also stopped using concealer under my eyes, and instead use a brightener (Maybelline Age Rewind), then apply foundation - MUCH better, and less crinkly (older) under eyes!

[@MrsMelissaM]

Hi Debbie! I love hearing that all those products are working for you. thank you for telling me!

[@lindadelrincon8192]

Thank you Melissa for doing drugstore makeup. And for realizing many of us can't afford high end.

[@MrsMelissaM]

And I'm one too! Even when I can afford it, I like the less expensive version mostly anyway

[@mavrick6499]

Have re-watched this to take some notes for my next makeup shopping trip and saw that you mentioned the Essence Contour Duo Palette. You are the only person I've ever heard mention it and I thought it was an inexpensive treasure that only I'd discovered. Should have known that nothing good ever gets past you!

[@MrsMelissaM]

Lol...that's so funny! One of my favorite products for a couple years now! It's a high end drugstore treasure!

You give such great tips on application and brands that fit in my budget. Thanks girl!!

I know it’s not relevant to this video but just found you today - I watched the one on mental health and a dupe one. I’m 65 - lost my husband when I was 52 to bone cancer and my father 4 month later. Have fibromyalgia and had anxiety and panic then. I lost my 35 yr old son to alcoholism 6 months ago - some anxiety and panic - I’m still standing ! Keep going - one foot in front of the other - I too have lovely hubby - glad I found you 💕

Never too long when we’re talking makeup!!!! Plus I’m doing dishes and it makes it so much easier…Haha What is the name of the color additives to darken or lighten foundations that you’ve talked about before? I can never find them, thank you Melissa :))

[@MrsMelissaM]

LA Girl has the white pigment & the blue I talk about Carol. No7 has some foundation drops or something like that. I use a darker color of those to darken my foundations. It takes a tiny bit.

[@carrieb9106]

Hi Mrs Melissa, just yesterday I put on the Sephora foundation you were talking about in this video in not the ideal lighting, I applied it and thought it looked really good, especially the color match. At this time of my life, I use medium to full, but I found the Sephora in my bag and tried it. When I went to look in good light, I was disappointed - still a great color match, but definitely not enough coverage for my 67 year old self! So I applied my Revlon Illuminance over it and I was much happier with the result. So based on your comments on the Sephora foundation, it can be used as a base or “precursor “ to my fuller coverage foundation. What a neat idea! I was going to toss my Sephora, but not now! Thank you! ❤

My lashes definitely look fuller and longer and no smudges! I love the powder before foundation technique! I use the elf poreless putty primer, Canmake lavender powder, No.7 lift & luminate serum foundation, Essence contour duo, elf wow brow, wet & wild eyeshadow palettes. Thank you for always helping me not make mistakes when choosing new products. I’ve never been disappointed :)

[@MrsMelissaM]

Hi Shirley! Your comment was awesome! Thank you so much for the kind feedback!

[@kam0406]

The Maybelline Lifter Glosses are absolutely a MUST. They stay on and actually improve the look and feel of my lips. So much that I wear the lightest shade overnight as a lip treatment and wake up to soft, smooth, flake free lips! These glosses are beyond amazing! I love how they don't bunch up into corners or leave a weird looking ring around the inner part of my lips. I have not bought very many new products lately and was holding out on buying these glasses because I didn't think any glass could be all that different from the 20 others I have. Boy, was I wrong! These are incredible and not like any other formula I have in my collection. These glosses don't just sit on the surface of my lips, they actually moisturize and make my lips look line free and plump. Run, don't walk! Grab yourself one of these. You won't regret it! I bought one and went back for 2 more shades. I keep one by my bed, one in my purse and one in my makeup bag. At this point, all my other lip products are dead to me. I just hope Maybelline comes out with more shades!

Helloooo Mrs. M! You are so thorough! I bought the No. 7 foundation because of you. Game changer. Also have the No. 7 powder. Two things you mentioned I bought on a whim and were unexpected surprises: the Kokie highlighter. Hadn’t heard of them and did an impulse buy. I lightly tap it on with a brush then blend in. By doing so it is more subtle and very pretty. And the Essence lip liner. It is so smooth, nice colors and easy to work with. You have a blush fetish. Me too and a lipstick fetish….so it looks like I need to explore the shades in this awesome video! TU!

Miss Melissa, you look stunning! (As usual😍). Loved this video of drugstore makeup. Yes I think Sephora brand qualifies! And I love their eyeshadows too! You might want to try them. Love you my friend!🥰

Love you too sweet lady! And I absolutely will try them Marian!

Great video. Ditched concealer as well. Totally agreed. It didn't look good and not using was a much better look. FUN TIME WATCHING this. Consider doing again when new upcoming products are added or removed ♡

Your videos make me want to run out to Walmart and buy all these products. You make makeup fun!
