The 15 Best Drugstore Makeup and Skincare Products for 2020

In 2017, Groupon conducted a study with 2,000 Americans asking how much money they spend on their appearance. The women surveyed spent an average of $3,756 a year (that is $313 a month, and up to $225,360 in their lifetime) and the men surveyed spent an average of $2,928 per year ($244 a month, and up to $175,680 in their lifetime). That's a lot of bread.

We don't know about you, but it feels like we've already spent thousands of dollars on Drunk Elephant products this year alone, and we don't even want to know how many times we've entered Sephora with one thing in mind but left with a basket full of sheet masks and perfume we definitely didn't need.

Last time we asked you guys to share your drugstore must-haves we received hundreds of responses, so we rounded up the 15 best drugstore products, according to your reviews. Hopefully, this will help you save some of that dough.

1. Coty Airspun Loose Face Powder

Set your foundation and concealer with Coty Airspun’s Loose Face Powder. This $6 powder comes in four shades (Honey Beige, Naturally Neutral, Rosey Beige, and Suntan), but our SG community seems to prefer the translucent powder. There is also Translucent Extra Coverage if you’re looking for something a little stronger. The cloudlike formula of this powder is perfect for baking, setting, and blurring fine lines.

It’s no secret Aztec Secret’s Indian Healing Clay is the cureall for many skin ailments.

For the best results, mix the clay with apple cider vinegar and don’t let the clay come in contact with metal bowls or utensils, which may make the clay less effective.
