Affordable Face of the Day

I recently did a face of the day post using nothing but high end/expensive stuff, so I thought I'd do one using nothing but stuff available at the drugstore.



I thought I'd try to create a "bronze goddess" look, but I don't think I quite made it there.  Oh well.

My bangs are really weird.  That tends to happen when the temperatures and humidity rise.


Eyes: Maybelline Color Tattoo cream eyeshadow in Bad to the Bronze on the moving lid and lower                                          lash line
          Brown "crease" color from the Wet'n'Wild Comfort Zone palette lightly in the crease
          L'Oreal Infallible Eyeshadow in Iced Latte in the inner corner
          Milani Liquif'Eye Metallic Eyeliner Pencil in Brown on the lower waterline
          Sonia Kashuk Gel Eyeliner in Ebony on the upper lash line
          L'Oreal Voluminous Butterfly Mascara



Brows: NYX Tame & Frame Brow Pomade in Chocolate




Face: Maybelline Dream Smooth Mousse foundation
          Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Air Brushing Pressed Powder SPF 30


Cheeks: Maybelline Master Hi-Light Hi-Lighting Bronzer in Light Bronze
              Milani Powder Blush in Flora Passion
              Wet'n'Wild Fergie Centerstage Collection Shimmer Palette in Rose Champagne Glow

Lips: Rimmel Exaggerate Full Color Lip Pencil in Addiction
         Maybelline Color Sensational Lipstick in Barely Bronze (limited edition, I think)
         Rimmel Vinyl Bronze Mirror Shine Lipgloss (sadly discontinued)





I really like the Maybelline Dream Smooth Mousse foundation.  I've repurchased it several times over the past few years.  I also like the Physicians Formula Mineral Wear powder because it has SPF 30.  It does have a glow-y finish, and I notice if I apply it too heavily I look a little overly shiny.

Drugstore/affordable makeup is so good these days, right?  What are some of your drugstore faves?
