10 Best Drugstore Makeup Picks for FallHollywood's most sought-after celebrity makeup artist takes us shopping for the best budget-friendly buys for the season |
Hey, guess what we did two days ago. We hung out with a top celebrity makeup artist. At the drugstore. That's right, we had him personally pick out the best products for us (and you). Cue happy dance.
Skip to see a celebrity makeup artist's top 10 drugstore picks for fall.
In a moment of bravery we (half jokingly) called A-list celebrity makeup artist Brett Freedman last week and asked him to accompany us on a drugstore scavenger hunt for the best makeup for fall. Right when we thought he would let out a belly laugh in our (poor) naive faces -- after all, what celebrity makeup artist uses drugstore products -- he accepted. Enthusiastically.
Despite access to whatever makeup he wants, Freedman says he is a "huge fan of drugstore finds" and even, get this, uses his favorite drugstore makeup on his star clients like Eva Mendes, Emily Blunt, and Brittany Snow.
All we had to do next was kidnap the oh-so-willing Freedman and drag him to our nearby CVS, or what we like to refer to as The Almighty Mecca for Budget Makeup. See the wallet-friendly products and shades this top celebrity makeup artist tossed in our basket. Then run to your local drugstore to pick 'em up and start playing with the season's hottest makeup trends on the cheap.

The scented nail polished by Revlon stained my nails a gross yellow color, it looked like I had some kind of disease. If you're going to use them, use a base coat first

Lately I have been bumping up my red lipstick collection and I find that Loreal British Red works just a well on my nw45 skin as my nw 20 clients. Article did seem a bit dated though ... overall ok.

I have some serious mixed emotions about this list. Off the bat the Smokey Shadow Blast? Seriously? I have that item in Silver / Black and Green / Brown. The Silver end broke after about 5 applications. Also, I find the item to be hard to spread onto my lids. The Wet n Wild e/s are good but you definitely need a primer since they are rather powdery. The Physicians Formula Cream Liner seems pretty interesting - I've yet to try that. I'm really curious about the Milani Gloss Pencil. I have a few of their other cosmetics and I'm a huge fan. I can't wait to try that product out - for sure!

Is it just me or do the same trends happen every year. Red/Berry/Deep colors for fall... again.

Are we sure this is for Fall 2012? I feel like this might be a repeat for 2011..........
