Best drugstore brow products in 2017

Ever since Cara Delevingne made thick brows a new popular look, every make up brand launched their own brow product. ABH pomade was the best selling highend brow product for a long time, and it was for a reason. With numerous shades to choose from, the easy and quick application made our brows look like they're done by a professional make up artist. I personally have been using it for three years every day. But I wanted to try something new and didn't want to spend a lot of money. And so my hunt begun. I watched almost every video and read many reviews. After trying some of them my self, I can finaly say that these are definitely my favorite brow products I found so far.

Rimmel brow pencil - inexpensive, blends perfectly, the color matches perfectly with my hair (not my brows) and it looks soooo good (which is weird in my opinion).

Essence brow pencil - this product made me change my opinion about this brand. It's one of the most affordable brands in the market. There are two colors (great both of them) and goes on perfectly.

Essence brow gel - again, very affordable and does the job. This is a dupe for the Benefit Gimmi brow. It can be used alone, if you already have great brows but just want to add a little something.

Makeup revolution brow pomade - even though it's not as good as ABH one, it's a very good product. It's easier then filling your brows with a pencil and for $10 you get a lot of it.

Now the two item below aren't quite drugstore ones but they're worth mentioning because they're awesome and I haven't found a dupe yet for these, especially for a brow brush!

Sephora brow wax - if you have messy brows, this product will do the trick. The brows will stay in place all day long with this miracle.

Sephora brow brush - honestly, why isn't there a decent drugstore, affordable brow brush in the market yet?? This brush is perfect and will last for several years, definitely worth it.

If you can spend $20 on a brow product then deffinitly go for Anastasia Beverly Hills brow pencil or brow pomade. It is the best brow product ever. Easy and quick to apply, blends seamlessly and goes on beautifully without having any makeup skills. However, if you want to save few bucks then go for the ones listed above, I'm sure you'll love them. Which one is your favorite?

Maybelline FIT ME! DEWY + SMOOTH FOUNDATION REVIEW

This is a perfect foundation if you want a natural glow and a light, yet buildable, coverage. The price on Amazon.com is just above $5. I love this foundation, especially for colder days when your skin needs more hydration. It’s very easy to blend. You can set it with a powder if you want more mat finish since it stays quite tacky. It is more suitable for normal to dry skin, but I think oily skin can also wear it if combined with a suitable mattifying primer underneath. One of my favorites! 

Here are some great reviews from the most popular beauty vloggers on YouTube:

L'Oreal Paris Infallible Pro - Matte Foundation Review

Overall, a GREAT foundation. 

The price is less than $10 on Amazon.com. Matte finish, full coverage and stays very long, most suitable for oily skin. If you have normal to dry skin, try putting a very hydrating moisturizer or primer. I have normal to dry skin and used it with L'Oreal Paris Lumi Magique Primer, a luminous primer, and worked very nice. It blurred out my skin and evened my skin tone. It sets very quickly so you need to blend it immediately and there’s no need to set it with a powder. It’s a nice foundation if you have any events or going on a night out. 

I wouldn't prefer it in winter if you have dry skin, it's more for other seasons when your skin doesn't need to be so moisturized.

This foundation is highly favourable among beauty vloggers on YouTube. They say it's one of the best affordable foundations for oily skin. You can watch their reviews here: LustreLux, saaammage, shaaanxo, Tati, Desi Perkins, LauraLee, pixiwoo, Tati (another one), Manny Mua.

Everyday Makeup routine

For every day, I like using lighter foundations (for example UD Naked Skin Weightless foundation), BB creams or just a primer (POREfessional from Benefit, or Photoready from Revlon – both excellent primers) and set my face with a powder so my skin won’t get to oily through the day.

A blush is a must for me, and I like using MACs blush in Peaches, but sometimes I put on a bronzer, or something in between, like MACs baked blush in Warm Soul, just to warm up my face.          

To quickly fill in my brows, I use Anastasias dipbrow pomade in medium brown with a brow brush from Sephora.

For the eyes, if I have time and patience, I put an eyeliner with a pencil liquid liner (I had a great one from Sephora, but I run out of that, now I’m using MaxFactor Masterpiece Liquid Liner), and finish my eyes with one coat  of black mascara (Benefits They’re Real mascara is amazing!).

I tend to leave lips with no product on them, but recently I started using MACs lipstick in Fast Play, which is a great color to use in the Fall.

I find that this makeup keeps my face fresh and my pores less clogged with unnecessary products, which can age the skin more quickly and cause more breakouts. This light makeup reduces the discoloration on my face and hides some of my blemishes, which is perfect for everyday. Again, this is an everyday makeup routine, whereas for special occasions, I use different procedure and products.

Since I put make up EVERY DAY, I made this process very easy, fast and simple, and hopefully helped somebody in getting some ideas for your every day make up!
