You don’t always have to splurge to look good, and if you know what to look for, you can find wonderful products at the drugstore. Here are our favourite drugstore cheek products – we’ve picked blushes and bronzers that have good pigment levels, go on smoothly, and last a long time.
1. L’Oreal Visible Lift Blush ($15.98). Used by makeup artist Beau Nelson on Julie Delphy at the Golden Globes, this long-wearing blush comes in natural-looking colours and the slight amount of shimmer highlights and lifts the cheek bones.
2. Revlon PhotoReady Cream Blush ($12.99). Highly pigmented this blush can actually go on sheer and feel natural on skin.
3. Maybelline Studio Master Hi-Light ($13.99). This satin shimmering blush is a mix of light and blush pigments that you blend and apply for a gentle flush. The silky smooth powder even lasts a long time on skin.
