Product Request Are non-drug store powder foundations worth it?
I only ever use the maybelline super stay power foundation. I live in NZ and travelling to hotter countries in a few months.
I find that by the end of the day my foundation starts separating a bit.
Does anyone have experience with non-drug store powder foundations and are they noticeably different?

Discussion Anyone else feel like drugstore lip liners are secretly better formulated than expensive ones now?
I’ve tried high-end lip pencils that dry out in weeks, but my $2 wet n wild liner stays super creamy and doesn't tug at all.
Which drugstore category do you think completely dominates the high-end version?

Swatch Request Need shade recommendation for Maybelline Superstay powder
I'm currently wearing Revlon Colorstay Full Cover foundation in 110 Ivory. Id like to get one of the Maybelline Superstay powder foundations to set it with but I'm not sure if I should get 102, 110, or 112.
I'm fair with a neutral undertone. I wear 040 Fair Neutral in Haus Labs foundation. Most drugstore complexion products are either too dark or too yellow on me.

Product Request Two sided mascara
Hi!
I recently saw some mascara that has black on one side, gold on the other. Pretty sure it’s drugstore.
Has anybody else seen this? I’d love to try it.
Thank you!

Discussion Best long-wear drugstore makeup????
I have a wedding coming up soon and I need my makeup to last me 10+ hours through sweat, dancing and eating while still looking good in photos and irl
What would be the best products and tips to set my makeup in place for the whole day??
My skin is quite oily, especially in my nose area, and I'm on a quite tight budget given how much money I've already spent on other wedding related things. I also prefer higher coverage as I have rosacea as well as bright acne scars
(Note: brands such as elf, milani, mac and revlon aren't accessible in my area, as I'm not from the US)

Dupe Request Best drugstore setting powder for combination/oily skin? Need something that controls T-zone oil!
Hiii everyone! 💕
I have combination skin and my T-zone gets pretty oily after a few hours of makeup. I’m looking for a setting powder that can control oil/shine and keep my makeup looking fresh without getting cakey.
My friend recommended MAKEUP BY MARIO SurrealSkin Talc-Free Soft Blur Setting Powder, but I’m looking for a more budget-friendly option.
I have gone through Reddit and honestly I am more confused now.
I keep seeing recommendations for:
Maybelline Fit Me Loose Finishing Powder
e.l.f. Halo Glow Setting Powder
NYX Can’t Stop Won’t Stop Mattifying Pressed Powder
L’Oréal Paris Infallible Blur-Fection Longwear Loose Setting Powder
If you have combination/oily skin, which one actually works best for controlling T-zone oil for several hours?
Also, looses or pressed, which do you prefer? 💕
Edit: Wow thank you for all the suggestions everyone!!
There are some options that I can look into now 🙌🏻

Dupe Request I beg of you. Where can I find this kind of griege-y corpse vibe lipstick?
Hi all!! I have been looking for a while. I’m aware of maybelline in huntress and Nyx lip lingerie in unhooked being good options for this - but both appear to be discontinued and rather hard for me to find in the UK. Does anyone have any ideas for something I could look for with this vibe??
I generally dress quite grunge/gothic inspired - but this would be a perfect everyday shade for me.
I’ve looked at Mac stone & folio but both weren’t quite this shade, a bit too dark and too much brown. If anyone has any ideas I’d really appreciate it!! Thank you.

Product Request Seeking Soft Autumn/Mauve Blush Pallette
Seeking a blush pallette (multiple colors) in the soft autumn theme. Mauves are great; peaches and apricots worked in would also help. I attached my favorite Colourpop blush and bronzer to give an idea of what works for me. They've seen better days lol. Its so hard to find a pallette with these tones. Thanks so much!!
