Celebrities have access to the most expensive products in the world. Most of them get their makeup professionally done before any event by the most renowned makeup artists in the world. So if they still decide to use an affordable drugstore alternative from time to time, you know that it’s going to be good. And I’m not talking about paid sponsorships or campaigns, but the products that they genuinely seem to like. So here are some drugstore makeup products that even celebrities swear by.

NYX Lip Pencils 

If Hailey Bieber is using an NYX lip pencil in one of her TikTok videos, you can be certain that it is going to be sold out everywhere. In the video that was posted with the caption “a little glowy makeup vibe,” Bieber shared her makeup routine for a radiant and fresh makeup look. While she didn’t list any of the products she used herself, some of her followers decided to write their assumptions. We can see that the lip pencil in question is by the brand NYX, but it’s a bit hard to tell what shade it is. According to the comments, it’s most likely in the shade “Never”. 

Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara

If you need a good mascara from the drugstore, then look no further than the Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara. This mascara has been a cult favorite for years, and for good reason. It elongates the lashes, and gives them a lot of volume and body, while not clumping them together. Meghan Markle is just one of the celebrities that have publicly raved about how good this product is. 

Wet n Wild Megalast Breakup-Proof Liquid Eyeliner

YouTube makeup gurus such as Manny MUA and Tati Westbrook have been raving about this liquid eyeliner for years! It’s only $5, and you probably already know that Wet n Wild is a cruelty-free makeup brand. In the new era of social media and not gatekeeping, we found out that a lot of celebrities love this eyeliner as well. One of them is Madison Bailey, who revealed that she has been using the eyeliner since she was 16. Why change something that works, right? 

CoverGirl Lip Perfection Lipstick

Taylor Swift could give a TED talk on the perfect red lipstick. Seriously, this woman has been wearing a red lippie for over 10 years! So if she says that the CoverGirl Lip Perfection lipsticks in the shades Flame and Burn are some of her favorites, then I’ll take her word for it. Even the names sound a bit like out of a TS song. However, even though Blondie gave us some great affordable options for her iconic red lip, I’m still impatiently waiting for her to come out with her own red lipstick and black eyeliner collection.

Aquaphor 

Zendaya was never shy about sharing her love for drugstore products. She was the face of CoverGirl, after all! In addition to that, she is one of the few celebrities that are genuinely interested in makeup, and that aren’t strangers to doing their own glam before important events. But the one product that Zendaya uses as a highlight isn’t even a makeup product. To get a natural and dewy-looking makeup base, Zendaya applies a little bit of Aquaphor to the highest points of her face, such as the cheek and brow bone.
