Drugstore makeup has a special place in our hearts because it’s effective and inexpensive. It allows us to experiment with new formulas without fear and allows us to buy multiples of the same cult-favorite product without guilt — because why have just one NYX Professional Makeup Soft Matte Lip Cream when you can have one in every color? We strongly believe that whether you’re a novice in the makeup world or a professional, drugstore makeup is essential to every beauty stash. With that in mind, we’ve rounded up our favorite drugstore beauty buys under $15, ahead.
