Face wash and moisturizer: Face products are a very personal thing. If your skin gives you a lot of problems, I would say go high end, but if you have semi normal skin, like I do, I would try out many from the drugstore. The good thing about the drugstore is you can try out a lot for an affordable price and find the right one for you. (I use Aveeno for sensitive skin.)
Primer: If you're someone who really needs to ensure your makeup stays, I would say use a high end one. Also, high end brands offer a ton more types of primers that range from mattifying, to luminous, and even correcting. The ones in the drugstore stick to only silicon bases. (I use the Hourglass Primer to smooth and perfect my skin.)
Foundation: Not everyone will agree, but I always say use high end foundations. Since the makeup is on your face all day, I like to know that it is the best quality possible, and that it will benefit your skin in positive ways. (When I use foundation, I use the Gorgio Armani Luminous Silk.)
Concealer: This is a hard one for me because there are not many concealers I like. I do know a lot of people who use both drug store and high end. Again, if you have any skin concerns, I would go high end. (The only concealer I like is the Charlotte Tilbury Retouch Pen.)
Powder Blush, and Bronzer: A lot of drugstore brands have great powder versions of all these products, but, if you would like a more diverse range of colors and finishes, I would check some high end brands for creams, gels, etc. (My favorites from the drugstore are the Nyx and Malani products.)
Eyeshadow and Eyeliner: I prefer high end eyeshadow and eyeliner because they usually have a better pigmentation and texture, but the drugstore is a great place to experiment and play with them. You never know; you could find your new favorite product. (I love the Urban Decay eyeliners and Smashbox eyeshadow.)
Mascara: There are so many great mascaras from the drugstore, so, unless you can't find a good one for you, I would always go to the drugstore for this one. (I love the Covergirl and L'Oreal ones.)
Lip Products: Same as mascara - I would always go drugstore because there are so many types and colors that you can try for an affordable price. (My favorites are Revlon and Nyx.)
Hope you enjoyed this guide for when to go drugstore! Remember these are just my opinions and might not be right for you!
