hi guys I'm Roxette Arisa and welcome back to my channel so today is a very
very exciting day I've been wanting to do this video for I would say almost a
year like a long long long time and it's been a long time coming because this is
going to be basically my best tips and tricks on how to make cheap drugstore
affordable makeup look luxurious amazing beautiful high-end you know bougie AF
anything you want to call it that is what I'm going to be kind of telling you
guys about today I finally feel like I have enough information and enough tips
and tricks to make this video worth your while to watch so I am very and I kind
of just want to hop right in so for me the biggest thing with drugstore makeup
is the way it's applied how to apply like I would say that's honestly one of
the best tips that I can give you because you can work with anything I've
seen professional makeup artists use L'Oreal and Maybelline and drugstore
products but because they know how to use them that makes the world of
difference so my number one tip is how you apply you know especially face
products because I feel like face products are really what can make or
break a makeup look so you always want to apply in layers when you're doing
your face makeup for me personally I take a little foundation brush like this
and I will go ahead and apply it into like little stripes in a thin layer on
my face then I will go in with either a kabuki brush or you know a blender of
some sorts and go in and blend out the edges and that is what gives me the most
flawless finish possible no matter what foundation I'm using it could be you
know a dollar foundation it could be a ten dollar foundation they could be a
fifty dollar foundation and this trick will definitely help you out in
achieving the flawless finish that you've been looking for I used to just
glob foundation on my face and it was like not cute because that's when you
start to look very cakey is when you're just putting on excess amounts of
foundation and then trying to blend it out it also makes it a lot harder to
blend a lot longer of a process so I got you Sam I recently discovered that they
actually make faux mink lashes at the drugstore which like I don't know why I
don't know how I missed this for however long they've been out but I have found a
pair that I really enjoy and I feel like looks very high-end whenever I'm wearing
them people always thought me and be like oh
my god what lashes are you wearing and I'm like girl you know go to Target is
literally whatever six seven dollars at the drugstore and it is these from Vegas
nay and I'll er so this is the bronze Beauty luxe collection such a beautiful
beautiful pair of lashes and I honestly do feel like they look very high-end
even though they are drugstore price and very very easily available like it's not
even like a cheap pair of lashes that you can buy in online and then you have
to wait for them to ship it to you it's literally you can go to Target and pick
it up you can go to Ulta and pick it up where you know wherever you want to shop
and I feel like that is such a cool thing because for so long I felt like
there weren't any good drugstore lashes really I mean obviously you know you
always have your Ardell which fees and ardell demi wispies which are great but
for me okay honestly once you go to dramatic dramatic lashes out it is so
hard to go back to using whispies because i usually use our dealt with
these all the time and they were honestly one of my favorite lashes in
the world and then once I started using you know Koko lashes queen bees and see
Jersey Diana's and House of lashes and like all these more extravagant dramatic
style and brands um I like I put on wispy that I'm like do I have anything
on my eyelashes original so that's why i really suggest like faux mink lashes
because they definitely definitely definitely look more high-end more
luxurious more like you paid $30 for them and you didn't okay my next little
thing is all about tools now I have said this a couple times and I've talked
about it you know from time and time again on my channel but for those of you
who are new to my channel and welcome but I really really really recommend
investing in good brushes and when actually invest
honestly I don't mean you know you have to spend $50 on one eyeshadow brush it's
more so just knowing that you're investing in good quality brushes you
know what I mean so you know morphe is actually pretty affordable as far as
like brushes go a sigma makes amazing brushes and you know they're they're
always having like sales if you sign up for their email list they always always
always all I don't know once and I'm excited
because I'm talking about saving money on makeup but they're always having
sales so highly recommend signing up for their email I also have a discount code
if you guys want to use it no pressure obviously but yeah save you an extra ten
percent or something like that I mean there are ways to like save money on
very good quality brushes because when you think about it the brush is what is
making your foundation or your eyeshadow or your bronzer or whatever actually
apply evenly to the face I do have a full video all about like my favorite
brushes so I won't go into too much detail on like each specific thing or
each specific brush that I recommend just because I've already said it and
it's out there I'll link down below for you guys if you want to see it but again
take my word for it girl or boy whoever want some good brushes of their lives it
really really really will make a difference in how your makeup applies
the next little tip that I have it's something that my rock stars will
already I just feel like you guys are going to know what I'm about to say but
you definitely want to find a foundation and primer combo that works for you so
you can see I feel like face makeup is really really really can change a makeup
look and I feel like when you have a good face makeup even if it's affordable
even if it's director it's going to make you look bomb like literally I don't
know how many times I have told you guys this but I get stopped on the street all
the time and get asked what foundation I'm wearing and I am always wearing
Maybelline fit me like this is my ride-or-die foundation now it's
something that I cannot live without it is my go-to on a daily basis glammed up
for events like literally whenever wherever I'm pretty much going to be
wearing this foundation and people are so surprised that it is drugstore
affordable you know readily available at your local drugstore CVS Walgreens
Target because it looks so bomb like I can't even put it any other way it just
looks so flawless and I'm really happy that a lot of you guys have been telling
me that you guys are loving this foundation as well just because I don't
know we're like with little happy family and yeah but my main
is find a foundation that really really works for you and I recently found my
favorite drugstore primer this stuff has changed my life honestly this combo is
everything so this is the L'Oreal magic lumi lightning fusing primer it is such
a good primer you guys because it leaves you with almost like a luminescence it's
very similar to the Becca that Becca backlight you know I'm talking about
like the Becca backlight filming primer or something I don't know but that is
like way too expensive 40 50 dollars I think and this is like under 10 I think
it's not like around 10 dollars and it is so good let me show you what it looks
like on the back of my hand so it does come out white which that girls but
that's so good it does come out white which I was scared at scared of at first
but when you rub it in it is so beautiful like you see that glow and it
looks bomb like honestly bomb under this foundation I said this before but this
to me is like a natural finish so with that underneath is like I'm a
glowing goddess if there's one thing that takes a list from ants bujji it is
lapse of glow my friends you guys know this is my favorite part of makeup
favorite topic to talk about but it is highlighters and honestly I feel like
for so so long there were no good highlighters at the drug sir I don't
know what it was I don't know what was happening with drugs or highlighters but
I was just like oh my god there's no amazing highlighters from the drugstore
that I would honestly be like you need this in your life until now
so my next little thing to make your drugstore makeup look expensive look you
know high M if you will is to find a bomb highlighter because I feel like
honestly it does take the look to a whole nother level so these are my
favorite highlighters from the drugstore and I know you guys have heard me talk
about these a million and one times these are only completely the opposite
ways you probably didn't even know what I was writing out but this is my little
trick for making drugstore highlighters look bomb okay let me just talk about
this real quick so this is the expert wear eye shadow from Maybelline and it's
in the shade the glow down oh my god I know I've talked about this
in recent videos but it is the most beautiful highlighter I've ever used
it's not a highlighter honestly I shadow but I use a highlighter I'm wearing it
today like do you see this do you see that glow
no you see obiviously oh did you see it it is like honestly amazing like I
literally cannot say that enough I can't stress it enough but it is the most
beautiful gold it's metallic it is pigmented it is creamy it is blendable
it's beautiful so this is by far my favorite powder highlighter highly
recommend if you are looking for a drugstore highlighter to rock your world
but the number one thing that I recommend if you even watch more glow if
you want just that extra umph is to layer a liquid highlighter under the
powder so I'll go on with this guy WOM drink my foundation and I'll just take
it on a Beauty Blender and kind of dab it on yeah
I'll dab it on to like the high points of the face with my blender and these
are my two favorite liquid highlighters they're pretty similar I would say this
is the Maybelline master strobing liquid in the shade deep Flash gold and then
this is the L'Oreal True Match Lumi liquid glow highlighter in the shade
golden so as you can tell I like golden feathers they do have different shades
if you're more into like pearly highlighters or maybe rose gold so you
can kind of mix and match or choose whatever you think suits you best but
these are definitely my favorites and I will go on with one of these and then go
over that with a little brush and this guy and oh my loud this is like you will
see your highlights from outer space from a spaceship that is just passing by
for a millisecond he will be able to be like I'll see a rock star down there
honestly I'm pretty happy with it so that is like one thing again I just feel
like the drugstore was lacking for so long and now I finally found my
ride-or-die drugstore highlighter in this eyeshadow so honestly it's going to
take your look from zero to a Honda okay so one more thing I have to mention I
feel like the biggest difference between high-end you know very very expensive
products and drugstore products on a generalized basis
is the texture of them how they wear throughout the day and I feel like
drugstores most drugstore products do tend to get a little bit more cakey
obviously there are anomalies in both categories there's great high-end
products and then there's not so great high-end products and the same goes for
drugstore but I think the key is to kind of difference that was a weird way to
say that but differentiates those two categories and choose lightweight
products from the drugstore that are affordable especially foundations and
concealers I feel like those are probably the main two things that get
you know tend to get cakey also powders as well so I would definitely recommend
the maybelline instant age rewind concealer you guys know I love this
stuff and I just feel like it's so lightweight it really covers my dark
under-eye circles and it blends out seamlessly honestly I reach for this a
lot more than most of my high-end concealers because it's just so bomb for
me and I use the shade medium for those of you who are asking I saw a lot of you
asking on the last video that I use this on because I know the lighter shades are
a little bit ashy but this one seems to work really well for me so yeah I'm the
shade medium and then as far as powder goes you at Uwharrie know you already
know my liquid recommendation you know maybelline fit me but also the L'Oreal
True Match is great Loremaster lumi Loreal Pro matte is great because these
are all very light weight products that will get the job done but as far as
powders I highly recommend the Maybelline fit me matte and poreless
this is a bomb foundation powder I use it to set my entire face and it never
never never looks cakey I would say it's honestly pretty comparable to one of my
favorites which is Mac Studio Fix I'm pointing because it's somewhere on my
desk and I can't find it because it's so messy but yeah Mac Studio Fix and
there's pretty darn comparable which you are saving so much money if you're just
going for this guy and it's honestly going to be doing the same exact thing
so yeah choosing products that are lightweight that are going to wear well
throughout the day hurry so that is it for this video I hope you guys enjoyed
