10 Makeup Artists Reveal Their Favorite Drugstore Picks For Spring (2024)

"I used this (in both Lasting Taupe and Copper shades) on Kristen Bell for the Boss premiere. I love the soft shimmery texture. Plus, they go on so easily, and they really don't crease. They work great alone, or layered underneath powder eye shadow for some dimension. It's perfect for someone who just wants to throw on a wash of color on their lids." — Mai Quynh

Neutrogena Crease Proof Eye Shadow ($9)

"The Light palette includes four pretty and versatile colors and will last you a while because the blushes are highly pigmented and you won't need to use much. I often use the bronzer shade for soft contouring or simply on its own." — Min Min Ma

E.l.f. Blush Palette ($6)

"These are among my absolute favorite lip pigments to use for editorial photo shoots, red carpets, and everything in between. They're 100 percent natural, infused with shea butter, kendi oil, and jojoba oil, and come in six full-coverage shades. The color is opaque-matte and the formula is hydrating, leaving lips feeling soft and conditioned. Just recently, I used them on Torrey DeVitto and Bailee Madison." — Nicole Walmsley

Burt's Bees Lip Crayons ($9)

"I love these trio kits, which come with an easy-to-follow face chart how-to on the back. The blush colors in each one are super pretty and flattering, and these powders have a super easy-to-blend, soft finish that you don't often find in drugstore products. I use all three colors almost every day — there's one for everyone!" — Jo Baker

Rimmel Kate Sculpting Palette ($12)

"This is a great neutral eye palette I love to have in my kit. I like the smooth texture of the shadows and the mix of matte and velvet textures. This is the palette I reach for when a client wants a nice, neutral eye." — Ricky Wilson

L'Oréal Color Riche La Palette Nude ($16)

"This liner comes in colors that are sophisticated, yet fun, and most can be mixed and matched for wearing together. I also love that it gives you the versatility of a clean or smudgy line!" — Francesca Tolot

CoverGirl Perfect Point Plus Eyeliner ($6)

"I love using this product on lips for so many different reasons. First, it's a matte texture but it doesn't dry out your lips! Second, it has a great color payoff and really pops. Finally, it has staying power! You can literally apply it once and it will stay put for hours. No need to reapply." — Joy Fennell

Maybelline Lip Studio Color Blur ($8)

"The nine different satin finish shimmer cube colors in this palette are universally flattering and can be used as shadow and highlighter for an allover glow. I use it on nearly all of my clients (most recently, Reese Witherspoon and Lucy Hale) to keep them looking radiant and fresh." — Kelsey Deenihan

Mark Touch & Glow Shimmer Cream Cubes All Over Face Palette ($16)

"This is a must for grooming and making your brows thicker. It's the first thing I use every morning after brushing my teeth." — April Chaney

L'Oréal Brow Plumper by Brow Stylist ($9)

"I use Sonia's bags for all of my makeup and toiletries. They're chic, well-made, and are made in a wide variety of patterns — the latest for Spring are so much fun!" — Pati Dubroff

Sonia Kashuk Makeup Bags (starting at $8)
