5. WORST foundation: cover girl concealer: cover girl powder: cover girl lip gloss: victoria's secret mascara: almay triple effect maybelline volum'express eye liner: maybelline kohl eye shadow: maybelline dream mousse shampoo: herbal essences hair mask: pantene mousse + hairspray: john frieda
6. This is gonna be a long one... Sorry in advance. FYI: I have fair combination/oily, occasionally sensitive skin, and super duper thick, long, occasionally frizzy red hair. foundation: Almay Clear Complexion liquid foundation, because the coverage is wonderfully buildable while still looking natural and it has ingredients that help minimize blemishes. concealer: L'Oreal True Match, because it's the only one I've found that matches my skintone the way a concealer should. powder: Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Talc-Free Mineral Face Powder - SPF 16 foundation primer: Eeeeeeh, nothing I've found at drugstores has been worthwhile. All of it breaks me out. You're better off saving for a good primer, because it's probably one of the more important things you'll put on your face. lip gloss: Eh, I don't really use lipgloss from drugstores.. It's usually too thick and sticky, or it wears right off. I love love love Burt's Bees lip balms, though. Especially the tinted ones. lipstick: NYC has some okay colors. not a big fan of drugstore lipsticks either. lip liner: I don't use lipliner mascara: Cover Girl Lash Blast! eye liner: L'Oreal HiP gel liner eye shadow: L'Oreal HiP shadow duos contour: Never used a drugstore contour. By the time I figured out enough about makeup to know how to use a contour and a highlight, I had already moved on to better products. But if I found a decent one at a drugstore, I wouldn't hesitate to give it a shot. I think Milani has some good ones. highlight: Never used a drugstore highlight. See above. blush: Milani (Not drug store, but Target, which is pretty much the same thing) eye circle deminisher/eye cream: Olay Regenerist moisturizer: Neutrogena Daily Defense Moisturizer with SPF 45 cleanser: Johnson & Johnson Purpose face wash. toner: Olay Refreshing toner exfoliater: St. Ives Apricot Scrub for Oily/ Acne Prone Skin face mask: Neutrogena Clear Pore Cleanser/Mask shampoo: Aussie Moist shampoo conditioner: Aussie Moist conditioner deep hair mask: Aussie 3 minute miracle hair spray: Sunsilk Hold Me Forever hair spray hair mousse: I don't use mousse, but I think the ancient can in my bathroom is from Charles Worthington. leave in conditioner: Aussie 3 minute miracle face makeup remover: See cleanser eye makeup remover: Almay has some wonderfully moisturizing eye makeup remover pads. Whew. As far as drugstore brands go, try to stay away from Wet & Wild. 90% of the things I've bought from Wet & Wild end up going straight into the garbage can because they have cruddy color payoff, next to no staying power, and will break me out so fast my head spins. Other drugstore brands (Milani, NYC, Prestige, Jesse's Girl, etc) are hit or miss. I usually check reviews on www.makeupalley.com before I try anything new, especially from a drugstore. As far as major brands go (L'Oreal, Maybelline, Revlon, Cover Girl) I wouldn't trust Revlon or Cover Girl foundations if my life depended on it. Maybelline is pretty sketchy too. L'Oreal and Lancome are said to be owned by the same company, so when I have to go for drugstore cosmetics, I usually look through the L'Oreal stuff first. Hope this helps!
7. I have slightly oily, sensitive skin and wavy hair that I straighten. I'm just going to list the best products I have found. I have tried a ton of bad products, and I don't keep them around so I don't remember the names. foundation: Almay TLC Truly Lasting Color SPF 15 concealer: Almay Clear Complexion Concealer powder: Covergirl Trublend Pressed Powder lip gloss: Loreal Colour Riche Lipgloss lipstick: Covergirl Outlast Smoothwear mascara: Covergirl Lash Blast eye liner: Loreal HIP Color Truth Cream Eyeliner or when I want a casual look Maybelline Expertwear Defining Liner eye shadow: Physicians Formula Matte Collection Quad blush: Jane Blushing Cheeks or Wet N Wild Silk Finish - make sure you look for a shade without any sparkles bronzer: Wet N Wild Bronzzer - same as above moisturizer: Neutrogena Healthy Skin Visibly Even Daily SPF 15 Moisturizer cleanser: Spectro Gel for Sensitive, Problem Prone Skin (the purple one) exfoliater: Neutrogena Acne Stress Control 3-in-1 Hydrating Acnew Treatment. This is a salicylic acid gel that I use to chemically exfoliate because scrubs irritate my skin. shampoo: Tresemme Color Thrive conditioner: Tresemme Coor Thrive hair spray: Pantene Sheer Volume hair mousse: Pantene Full and Thick eye makeup remover: Neutrogena Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover
