Drugstore makeup products better than high end!

I’ve tried thousands of makeup products and these will forever be staples in my collection! You don’t need to spend hundreds of dollars at Sephora to achieve a high quality makeup look. They may even be better than their high priced competitors. If you haven’t tried these products yet, do yourself a favor and RUN to the drugstore!

A hand holds three makeup pencils in a store aisle, with text overlay "Buy or bye Walmart Edition" and decorative flames, butterflies, and rainbow hearts.
A hand holds a white and yellow box for a sunscreen and makeup primer, rated as a 'BUY' for being unnoticeable, working well under makeup, giving a glow, and evening out skin.
A hand holds a light blue box for an eye cream, rated as a 'BYE' because it does nothing and a cheaper alternative is suggested as better.
BUY OR BYE DRUGSTORE MAKEUP EDITION
These are just my opinions. I have tried so many different drug store products and the buy ones are my daily users. I also rely on them for an accurate product review! For reference I am a very oily girl in the T zone and dry everywhere else. I cannot stand when my makeup separates so these are my
