The main difference between drugstore makeup and higher end brands is mainly the quality of ingredients. However, the power of branding audience that brand wants to attract also play a big role. More often than not, you can get just as good of results and achieve the look you want without spending a fortune. In no particular order, here are a few of the best drugstore makeup brands on the market.
Pixi
Created by Petra Strand nearly a decade ago, Pixi has made its debut more recently in convenience stores garnering a lot of hype. Petra has over 20 years of experience as a makeup artist & product developer, and her expertise really stands out in her line of skincare and makeup products. Their skint tint, bronzer, and line of skincare work like a dream. Their glow tonic is a must try and is at convenience stores near you.
