Recently, I have seen quite a few blog posts about makeup essentials. Now, while that’s all well and good, I did notice that the majority of the items in these posts were on the pricier side of my budget. Sure, we all love the confidence that comes with wearing a fresh face of high-end makeup. But, it’s hard not to wonder what on earth a girl has to do to get that same confidence without breaking the bank.

With that in mind, I took it upon myself to comb through the makeup aisles of multiple drugstores to find the cheapest way to look and feel like a million bucks! Here are my top 5 drugstore makeup essentials.
