The best drugstore makeup brands don’t always come with a high price tag—and some of our favorite finds have been right in the aisles of our local drugstore. While we love discovering new beauty gems from indie brands and specialty boutiques, there’s something undeniably reliable (and thrilling) about drugstore makeup brands. Whether you’re in the middle of a makeup rut or it’s 11 p.m. and you suddenly need a fresh concealer or mascara, these beauty staples are always just a quick trip away. Let’s be honest: we all have at least one drugstore makeup brand that has never let us down—and probably lives permanently in our makeup bag!
We’ve all been there—heading out for the night only to realize we forgot to toss a lipstick in our purse, or arriving at our destination after a long trip only to discover our makeup bag didn’t make it into the suitcase. In moments like these, a quick trip to the nearest drugstore comes in clutch. That’s why we’re spotlighting seven of the best drugstore makeup brands —affordable, accessible, and surprisingly high-quality. Trust us, these brands prove that a flawless beat doesn’t have to break the bank.
All this makeup talk has us ready to cruise down the makeup aisle! How about you? Are you ready to restock your makeup bag…
