By now, you’ve started to entertain the idea of returning to the makeup look you were mastering before stay-at-home orders began. Or maybe you never stopped and simply need to spice up your daily beat. Whatever the case, if you need to stick with a frugal budget, this year’s best drugstore makeup will leave you feeling like a million bucks without having to spend as much.

Truthfully, I recommend stocking up on some newer skincare drops, too, like the turmeric-rich mousse cleanser from Neutrogena and Aveeno’s milky, sensitive skin-friendly sunscreen stick. I can say from personal experience that the times I loved my makeup best is when my skin was in peak condition. But back to these makeup launches. Unsurprisingly, eyeshadow and mascara have claimed the spotlight—perhaps it has something to do with face masks disguising our lips 24/7. But fret not; there are some choice color products to keep our kissers ready for their eventual comeback, too.

Plus, it wouldn’t be a summer shopping experience if there weren’t a body illuminator and cooling setting spray in the mix as well. So keep scrolling to makeover your seasonal routine without draining your bank account or wreaking havoc on your skin.
