  • Who isn't looking for a bargain? No, really. Whether it's clothes, food, home stuff, beauty, etc. -- we're all hoping to somehow score a deal (Bed Bath & Beyond 20 percent off coupons, anyone?). So if you can get luxe hair and makeup looks for less, then why on earth would you pay more?

  • While drugstore products can sometimes outperform prestige brands, see what happens when bad makeup products happen to good people in this list of the 16 worst drugstore makeup products.

  • No. 16: Maybelline New York Lash Stiletto Ultimate Length Mascara, $6.94

  • "I know hate is a strong word but ... I hate this mascara! The brush was too thin, the mascara smelled bad and it didn't do anything for my lashes except give it clumps." Find out how you can get perfect lashes.

  • No. 15: Milani Loose Makeup, $7.99

  • "The coverage is horrible: it looks patchy and uneven. The brush is rough and irritating. During the summer it caused my face to be itchy."

  • No. 14: CoverGirl Trublend Microminerals Foundation, $10.99

  • "I was satisfied by its coverage, but it had sparkles in it that I didn't like. It also clogged my pores, which I realized after switching foundations." Take this quiz to find out which foundation formula you should be using.

  • No. 13: Revlon Sugar Sugar Lip Topping, $10.46

  • "The topping feels like sugar on your lips, all gritty like. It's definitely not a sexy feeling. And the grittiness didn't go away. I definitely would not buy this again." Watch this video to score a miracle skin care trick for dry lips.

  • No. 12: Sally Hansen Line Smoothing Airbrush Primer, $7.99

  • "I applied it on my face and found it difficult to blend. Once I completed the application I was not left with a velvety skin surface like primers are supposed to do, and also my skin still looked visibly oily in certain places. I applied my makeup as usual, and found that it wore off through the day as if I had not applied any type of primer whatsoever. In addition, for those with sensitive skin, you may find that this product may also sting." Find out what makeup looks great in every picture, so you can look great in every photo.
