hi everyone welcome back to my channel if you're new my name is Christine so
today I'm bringing to you guys a drugstore makeup starter kit so these
are a few select things that I think every person needs in their makeup kit
especially if you are new I feel like getting into makeup is really
overwhelming and can sometimes feel like you need to spend a lot of money I am a
big drugstore junkie so I have found a lot of drugstore things that work out for
me things that I reach for over my high-end things everything that I have
on my face is all drugstore so I'm gonna be talking about it in today's video so
if you guys are interested in seeing a drugstore makeup starter kit first make
sure you hit the subscribe button if you haven't already and a little
notification bell and this is very important because YouTube is updating
their algorithm so you don't see videos from everyone that you're subscribed to
unless you hit the notification ball so if you guys like me or if you like my
video just hit that little notification bell it means so much to me and without
further ado let's go ahead and get into the video I wish you guys could see like
my setup in my room right now but like literally my room is so small so I have
like this big backdrop set up all my lights my ring lighting my camera and
everything is so squished every time I set up this backdrop back here I just
filmed my three videos out of time just so I don't have to set him up all over
again so it's been a long day but I wouldn't have it any other way
does pizza or I can go if you guys don't know I got into the Sephora squad really
recently and I did do a vlog on it as well so if you guys haven't seen that
yet I'll go ahead and link it up in the corner I also did a workout video and
stuff like that so lots of highly requested video so make sure you guys
check out my newest videos but yeah anyways so the very first thing that I
usually start off with when I'm doing my makeup is eyebrows I was trying to enter
into the benefit brow search contest so actually did my brows with the precisely
my brow pencil and I actually really love this profit so I think it's amazing
but another really good dupe from the pro but another good product from the
brow store from the drugstore is the one by l'oréal this is the brow stylist
definer and I have it in the color of dark brunette reason why I love this is
because the pencil on it is really really thin so it allows you to get
actual hair like strokes and this one I just mined last along for me a lot of
drugstore brow products are just super super creamy and they smear and you just
don't wear as well but actually wore this one today when I went to the gym I
had a whole ass leg workout sat in the sauna and eyebrows are still on this one
from the drugstore is my favorite I'm still currently testing like my ELF one
which I have picked up a lot of new elf products recently so if you guys would
be interested in like a full phase of all products let me know I recently did
one on a like full face of glossy a after eye pencil on my brows I love to
go in with this essence make me brow this one is bomb if you guys have seen
my full face of glossy and makeup I tried out the boy brow and this one is
very very similar I wouldn't say it's a dupe because the boy brow has a little
bit more hole to it but this one definitely is really good especially for
a drugstore this one is only like three dollars we're just like amazing normally
when I'm doing my makeup I would do my eyebrows and eye makeup first but for
the sake of this video I want to talk about the makeup in the same order that
I apply them today this primer by the ordinary is really good it's not exactly
what I would consider a drugstore but it is drugstore pricing so you can order
this off of their website or I believe they're carried in Sephora now too but
this one is only seven or eight dollars and actually really really like this
primer my favorite favorite foundation I think of all time I recently was testing
the Maybelline 24 hour foundation in the L'Oreal fresh we're comparing them and I
have been wearing those foundations like a lot recently but I think one of my
favorite drugstore foundations of all time is this wet and wild photo focus
foundation I just keep going back to this and every time I whip it out and I
try it again I remember how much I frickin love this I just feel like it
makes my skin look so soft and airbrush and this one would work for a lot of
different skin types if you have dry skin combo or oily skin like I do this
one just looks so beautiful it looks so skin like and it's not super high
coverage but you can easily build it up I just really like it because it is so
like watery so I feel like it blends out really really nicely doesn't feel like
your skin and this color matches me really well the one that I used today is
in desert beige I'm doing like a sponges review video soon so I have been trying
out so many sponges in the last few weeks I'm just trying to try as many as
possible for a long period of time so I could like get a good idea of what
sponges I like and this want to keep going back to because I actually really
really like it this one is from Sonia Kashuk it is a little bit dirty because
I use it today but look how look how big it gets it's like you really only need
like five taps and it blends out your whole entire face foundation so soft and
I it's like seven doulas I think I got in a pack of two for ten dollars so you
can get it for a really good price I like that this one has a leg around it
because this is really good for like blending under the eyes I love how big
and plush it gets and it's just really bouncy and soft so I really like this
sponge concealer that I have been loving is this ELF 16 our camo concealer I
finally found it in a target near me in my color
this one is in the color medium beige and it reminds me so much of the Tarte
shape tape this one is really high coverage but I feel like it's not quite
as strong as a shape tape but it's still pretty drying I feel like in every
single makeup kit you need like a good pretty looking foundation that you can
use every single day if you wanted but for concealer I just prefer a high
coverage concealer because that way you can use it to highlight your face but
you can also use it to like cover blemishes and stuff like that this one
just doesn't offer me I picked it out recently but it has quickly become a
favorite just because it is so high coverage the color is really really nice
and it just blends out beautifully it really reminds me of the shape tape
which I have been loving for a really really long time so this one is a really
good one you always have to set your makeup especially for me because I have
such oily skin but I feel like when you're layering so many products on top
of each other you need to make sure that you're setting everything properly so it
stays in place my favorite setting powder from the drugstore is this
Maybelline fit me in the color 10 this one is just perfect for my skin tone
this one is super finely milled so when you Pat it in with a sponge it doesn't
stick to any of your like pores and stuff like that so I'm on my powders
when I Pat it into my under-eye air yeah it just looks kind of like cakey
this one doesn't do that to me it just looks beautiful I use it to set my whole
face sometimes but especially for the under eyes this one is beautiful the
color is really nice so it's really great for brightening up my under eye to
set my whole face I use this powder in my first impressions makeup video that I
did a couple weeks ago love this powder so much and it's just like so smooth
makes your skin look really airbrush the color is really nice this is in
light/medium I feel like translucent powders are really nice for setting on
the under eyes and then if you have like smile lines or like extra oily spots
that you want to lightly bake but I feel like having a powder foundation that you
can use to set the rest of your face is really good that way it matches your
skin I just find that when I use a translucent powder all over my face my
skin tone just looks a little bit too light and sometimes grayish so I like
setting with a foundations better for all over my face so I have really been
enjoying this one by covergirl or bronzer one of my favorite bronzers of
all time if you guys have been following me for a long time you guys know this
one was my favorite back in the day and this is the Rimmel maxi bronzer this one
is just so great because it is so smooth easy to blend this one is in the shade
dark but I love mixing these two for warming up the perimeter of my face this
one is more like cool tones I love going in and contouring with this especially
when I'm contouring my nose I really like using this color and I feel like
having a good bronzer is so important it just ties your whole face makeup
together even if you don't want to wear foundation I just find that when I
bronze my face it just makes my makeup look a little bit more refined like I
spent a little bit more time on it and I just never leave the house without
bronzers another palette that I've been loving for the face is this covergirl
full spectrum palette this is a sculpt expert palette and this is in the color
flush touch I love the colors in this especially this blush tone and I feel
like having a palette in your makeup kit is really nice because that way you
don't have so many singles all over the place and I actually think this is like
a solid palette the blush in here is really pretty it slightly shimmery so it
kind of adds like a nice glow to your cheeks and then this highlight is I
beam-in like this feels like a Becca highlighter is just really really
high-quality really fine milled so it's chunky or anything like that and I just
love this palette so much my favorite eyeshadow palette I feel like you need
to have a good neutral eyeshadow palette in your collection and this one by wet
and wild is really bomb actually really love these eyes shadow palettes that
they have included one of the palettes in my like full face of Holy Grail
makeup so if you guys are interested in seeing some of my like Holy Grail makeup
that is also like high-end I would highly recommend checking out that video
but these palettes are so great for drugstore I love that it comes with like
such big am okay I like that it comes with such big transition color so I use
this one in the crease a lot and then when I want something a little bit more
cool tone this one up here is really great and I just feel like the colors in
here are so useful and the Reds and the Pink's are a little bit harder so if you
want to venture out you totally can but it has a lot of like good orange warm
tones and then a dark brown and then just good transition colors you know so
I feel like this is a good palette it's always reliable I reach her all the time
because it blends so easily and it's just easy to work with and I reach where
all the time my lashes are really stick straight and they like do not curl so
actually I have this one from Shiseido but I remember back in the day I did
like Maybelline eyelash curlers but I just really like tools you can invest a
little bit more and you can just use it for the rest of your life like I've had
this one for over five years and I still love it it's from Shiseido
I picked this one up a Sephora and I love it one of my favorite all-time
waterproof mascaras is from Maybelline this is the falsies and especially if
you have straight lashes like me one of my favorite things to do is to curl my
lashes and put one thin coat of waterproof mascara and then after that I
can go over with any type of mascara and my lashes to stay curled all day so
especially if you have that problem go in with a quick coat of waterproof
mascara and I promise you you will never skip the step I will always repurchase
this one over and over and over just because it's like the best another
mascara that I love this one I let going in for my second coat is this essence
lash princess mascara I love this mascara because I feel like the wand on
it is so nice you can really get in the lashes that you have like the wand is
not too big or is really nice as well it's not too
crunchy it builds nicely and it gives me good volume a link so I really really
like this mascara today the lashes that I have are the Ardell faux mink lashes
and I really really like those lashes because they look so natural but ones
that I used to use all the time are the salon path those ones are really good
and you can pick those up at Walmart or Target I believe and then ardell demi
wispies everyone talks about it but I feel like those lashes are so great the
band is really thin it gives an extra like home to your look so if you're
looking for like easy to use lashes I really really like those and then you
guys know I love my out Express lashes as well as I have those linked in my leg
holy grail makeup video so check that out my favourite lash glue I have been
using for a really long time it's a high beauty and I forget where I got this but
the reason why I like it is because it is kind of a soft grip so your lashes
will stay on all day but it's not like hard to remove especially if you are
just starting out most of the time you're not gonna be going for like crazy
intense lashes so lash glue like this will hold a really thin band in place
all day so I really like this one and it's really nice because at the end of
the night when you're tired you can kind of just peel off your lashes and none of
your eyelashes will rip off but if you guys want something that has a little
bit more of a whole the duo the blue tube gives a slightly stronger hold it
just keeps your lashes in place all day but at the same time sometimes when you
take it off it all like kind of tug at your lashes oh my god Pizza look a brand
about me then the next thing I feel like everyone needs in their kit is eyeliner
even if you are not that good it's just a good thing to have in your kit as you
practice more and more you get a little bit better at it and I remember in high
school I learned how to do winged eyeliner sooner than I did like how to
blend a shadows and so I just love liquid liner this one by NYC is just my
favorite I like use it so much that all the label has worn off of it a wand on
it is so thin so it allows me to get a really like straight wing I just prefer
a brush tip liquid eyeliners but if you guys like the felt tip
wet-and-wild has a really really good one that I use for years just like this
one allows me to get like a better flick I feel like it lasts all day as well and
it's just super black and matte which I really like and if you guys like a
pencil eyeliner this one by pixie is my absolute favorite it's just so like look
at it wow it's like black and smooth doesn't smear like once it's set it is
set so especially when I first started it out I will just kind of smudge it on
my lash line and take an angled brush liner and then use that to kind of like
sharpen it up a little bit so love this eyeliner even if you want to like line
your waterline this one will stay in place all day then my favorite lip liner
is the LA girl ultimate lip liner in the color keep it spicy I mentioned this in
my favorite nude lipsticks video and this one is just like the perfect color
like my lips but better but it's a little bit more darker so when I overlay
my lips it looks really really natural and so that's what I did today on my
lips this color is also really neutral so it goes with like every single lip
color ever and a lot of the times I just packed this in my bag and we'll just do
a quick line on my lips and leave the door or lipstick I know a lot of you
guys are gonna ask the one that I have on the lips today is the Milani Bahama
beige this was also in my nude lipsticks video but I feel like the color on this
is so perfect it's like a really great Brown II nude it's not too pink it's not
too Brown kind of like satiny so it's just like the most perfect finish for a
nude lipstick and this one I reach for all the time I recommend it to anyone
that's looking for a nude lipstick almost every time I take a picture and
post on Instagram someone always asked me what color I have on my lips most of
the time it is this color and I love this lipstick so that brings us to the
end of this video and just know that you don't need to spend a lot of money to
feel beautiful or look beautiful use whatever products that you think you
need cater your kit to whatever needs that you have and then slowly build from
there especially when I was first starting out drugstore makeup was like
my favorite just because I found so many things that worked out for me at a
fraction of like the high-end store prices these are a lot of
recommendations so I hope you guys found it helpful and if you did give this
video a thumbs up let me know down below if you have tried out any new drugstore
products that you have been like or if you have tried any of the things
that I mentioned in today's video I would love to know you guys thought
anyways thank you guys so much for watching and I will see you in the next
video bye guys
