Makeup guru reveals the best budget DRUGSTORE beauty products that are better than high-end offerings - and cost just a fraction of the price

1 year ago 19

A beauty guru has laid bare her top drugstore makeup picks that are as 'good as high-end' products — but cost a fraction of the price.

Dacey Cash, 30, from the U.S., is a beauty guru and content creator who often shares her expertise on different products and various tutorials on her social media pages, boasting more than 111,000 followers on TikTok.

She let viewers in on her favorite drugstore products in a video posted to TikTok in October, starting off with an item from the brand Milani Cosmetics.

'First up, the Milani Glow Drops,' Cash began. 'These are so similar to Glossier Futuredew. They leave you with that same, soft, rose-gold, really luminous dewy finish.'

Cash first began by praising the Glow Drops from Milani Cosmetics, as well as the Age Perfect Serum Foundation from L'Oréal

For comparison, the Glossier Futuredew retails for $26, while Milani's Glow Drops are more than $10 less, coming in about $15 for a bottle. 

'So ideal for dry skin types, but also, if you wear a lot of matte foundations and want something to kind of, like, tone down that matte finish and just make it a little bit more skin-like, these lay underneath makeup so gorgeous,' she continued about the product. 

She also added that if you apply the Glow Drops to your skin and then put any other makeup products on top of it, you will be left with the 'most insane sheen.'

Next up on Cash's list was what she called her favorite foundation of 'all time' that she's been using for many years — and it's available at the drugstore, of course.

'It's the Age Perfect Serum Foundation from L'Oréal,' the makeup expert said. 'I wear the shade Golden Honey.'

'This has the most gorgeous, lightweight formula, really great, buildable coverage so you can build it up or you can really sheer it out, and the finish is always super natural, super skin-like,' she explained. 

Cash revealed that the foundation, which retails for $17, never looks or feels 'heavy,' while on the skin.

Then, in the same vein, she revealed a concealer that has never failed her.

Cash also recommended a concealer from the brand No.7, as well as a blush from L'Oréal

Cash recommended a two-sided eyeliner from the brand Makeup Revolution, with she had in a brown shade

'This is the HydraLuminous Concealer from No.7,' Cash said, as she held up a tube of the concealer, which is only $12.99.

'I love a good moisturizing concealer that still has some good coverage,' she explained. 'Typically, the more moisturizing concealers, the coverage can be a little bit finnicky and you get the best coverage out of matte concealers, but with this one, it's really nice and buildable and gorgeous for brightening.'

She also added that the product looked 'soft and radiant' when putting it underneath the eyes and felt more like a serum than a concealer.

The beauty guru then moved onto a blush that she said was perfect for the current season.

'The L'Oréal Infallible Blush in Daring Rosewood, this is such a stunning, kind of like, neutral shade,' she said. 'It's uber pigmented, so a little bit goes a really long way.'

And, the good news is that this blush is quite affordable at $12.99 — even cheaper than the Milani Glow Drops mentioned in the beginning of the video clip. 

'It just kind of looks like a barely-there, nude flush type of shade,' Cash said about the blush. 'I think this is perfect for Fall, it's a little bit deeper than your typical nude, but still not gonna be like a distracting blush shade.'

When it comes to eye makeup, Cash said her go-to is the brown eyeliner from the brand Makeup Revolution, which has a double side and is only $6.

Maybelline's Lifter Gloss was a product that she described as something she couldn't get over

Many of the products that Cash recommended were under $20, and one was even comparable to a Glossier product 

'On one end, you have the tiniest little felt-tip applicator, so this is perfect for anybody who struggles with doing liquid eyeliner,' she said, explaining that the tiny tip makes it great for beginners who aren't so familiar with applying the product.

Sweet savings! Dacey's drugstore picks  

  • Milani Glow Drops
  • L'Oréal Age Perfect Serum Foundation
  • No.7 HydraLuminous Concealer
  • Makeup Revolution Eyeliner 
  • Maybelline Lifter Gloss
  • Revlon's Colorstay Cream Eyeshadows

'Then, on the other end, you have a really fine-tipped gel eyeliner,' the creator dished. 'Again, so great for anybody who wants a little bit more precision, and a little bit more control with their eyeliner.'

She even gushed that she enjoyed the product so much that she was going to go back to the store to purchase the black one, citing that it was 'so easy to use.'

On her lips, the beauty guru had a lot of great things to say about Maybelline's Lifter Gloss.

'I cannot over these,' Cash admitted. 'I've been loving them so much lately.'

'My favorite shade right now is Ice, it's just kind of, like, this soft, milky sheen of a color,' she said. 'They're so shiny.'

But Ice wasn't the only color that Cash was loving. She also recommended the shades Silk, which is a light pink color; Moon, which is a darker, shiny pink; and Taupe.

The glosses come in at less than $10 each. 

And, last but not least, comes what Cash describes as a 'classic,' which are the Colorstay Cream Eyeshadows from Revlon in the pot, which will set you back $9.99. 

In the comments section of her TikTok, many users seemed to agree with her takes on the drugstore products

'If you have not tried these, these are so good,' she said. 'Great makeup staples, they are long-wearing, perfect for just a singular wash of sheen of color on the eyes, or you can use them as eyeshadow bases and primers.

'Because they are long lasting, so they really stay put.'

One of Cash's favorites was a shade called Crème Brûlée, which she said you could also use as a highlighter around the eye area.

In the comments section of her TikTok video, many users agreed that some of these products were the very best in the business.

'I have gone thru so many tubes of the L’Oréal age perfect foundation,' one person wrote. 'Hands down the best!'

'The Maybelline glosses are awesome,' someone else seconded.

Another typed: 'I remembered wearing the Revlon eyeshadow in the pool and it not budging. They are that good.'

Others admitted that they were on their way to the drugstore after seeing Cash's video.

'Off to Superdrug/Boots I go,' a user wrote.

Another chimed in: 'Sold lol need them all.'
