The Best New Drugstore Makeup Products of Summer 2018

Just like every other beauty trend from the '90s, lip gloss has made a comeback. These NYX pens are just as pigmented as your favorite matte lipstick, but have the shine of a gloss—minus the stickiness. Consider the affordable $9 price point your excuse to stock up on a handful of shades, including this warm nude. 

This L'Oréal Paris eyeshadow palette has a fruit scent, which gives it a little something extra compared to the other options in the drugstore makeup aisle. As for the actual shadows, the 12-pan palette includes warm shades in a variety of finishes that are perfect for a shimmery wash of color across your lids, or a smoky eye. 

Can't afford a microblading appointment? This Maybelline brow-tint pen is the next best thing—and it's only $8. Its multi-prong applicator lets you mimic the same natural, hair-like strokes you'd get using an actual microblading pen. 

If you prefer cream highlighters to powder, the Revlon Illuminator is going to be your best friend this summer. Use it on the cheekbones and high planes of the face, plus the cupid's bow of your lips to make them appear more fuller. 

On top of volumizing lashes, CoverGirl's latest mascara is formulated with conditioning coconut, avocado, and papaya oils to make them stronger. 

Highlight, shade, and contour as you so desire with the three shades in Milani's compact. 

With 40 shades to choose from, finding your perfect foundation match at the drugstore is even easier thanks to CoverGirl's new matte-finish formula. The full-coverage foundation is transfer-proof so it'll stay on, even in high humidity. 

A drugstore liquid lipstick that doesn't dry out your lips?! It does exist. Available in shades that range from neutral to berry, Burt's Bees' velvety liquid lipstick is infused with nourishing shea butter, plus apricot and babassu oils so that lips stay soft and smooth.
