Hello!!
Could you please add a little more detail on your skin tone/skin type, and what you want each product to do? (Ie concealer for under your eyes, mascara for volume, etc).
I can recommend what works for me and what I love but if you have darker or oily skin there’s a good chance the same products won’t be right for you.
I have combination skin (oily T-some and the rest is normal) and my fav concealers right now are:
1. Too Faced sculpting concealer – this stuff is amazing, and I love how much you get! It goes well with every foundation and primer I have tried it with, it never disappoints!
2. Kevyn Aucoin concealer in the pot – Wow the coverage on this is unreal! Makes me look flawless
3. L’Oréal more than concealer – probably my favourite from the drugstore, it’s so good!
For powder I really like Charlotte Tilbury’s setting powder, but I hit pan on it so easily so I don’t know if it’s really worth the money, because it feels like I’ve used so much of it so far. (Jessica Braun says that the No7 powder is a dupe for this one, but I haven’t tried it so I can’t attest to that, but I’m definitely getting the No7 one after I finish all my other powders).
I also like MAC studio fix powder, I always use this as a touch up powder, or on days when I want a bit of extra coverage. It also helps brighten my under eyes.
And lastly, the powder I’ve been using for forever is RCMA no colour powder, it’s a really basic powder but it works!
I don’t really have any recommendations for mascara, because I don’t really care that much since I use falsies almost every time I do my makeup.
Am I late? Depends on your budget but since you got some more expensive recs, I thought I would list some available at the drugstore. My favs are the maybelline age rewind concealer, the translucent powder by essence and panda eyes mascara also by essence. That one is especially cool because it doesn’t smudge and comes off with just water. For the price it’s great!
