Are you just starting out wearing makeup? Maybe you have been gifted a palette or watched a few tutorials on Youtube. It can be overwhelming to know which products to be using especially when some can be out of budget. There's no need to spend hundreds of dollars to fill up your makeup bag when there are many options just as good at the drugstore.
When it comes to your first few makeup purchases it is important that you focus on the essential. One of every kind of product that you think you would use, a brush set and a sponge. Avoid impulse buying on products you will never actually use. It can be tempting to buy every palette on the shelf when they are all so sparkly and brightly coloured but think to yourself "am I really going to use that glitter pigment palette if I'm just starting out?"
Try to look out for products that are versatile to avoid clutter and to help with affordability. Why get a bronzer, blush and highlighter individually when you can buy a palette with 2 shades of each for half the price. If you're unsure of where to begin, keep reading below for my drugstore essential recommendations.
