Thanks to TikTok, drugstore beauty products have been getting a lot of love in the last year or so, and for good reason. Drugstore beauty brands have really stepped up their game to provide skincare and makeup lovers with products that work at more affordable price points. 

In the video clip above, makeup artist Veronica Chu shares four of the products we've seen all over TikTok. You can find each product (and why it's so great) in the list below, plus we threw in a few additional products we can't seem to get enough of.

CeraVe Renewing SA Lotion 

Back in February 2021, CeraVe products were hard to come by thanks to TikTok recommendations—and for good reason. This low-budget dermatologist-recommended skincare brand is not only affordable but also works for a range of skincare types. CeraVe’s Daily Moisturizing Lotion contains a lightweight formula that helps retain skin's natural moisture, restore the protective skin barrier, and give your skin incredible 24-hour hydration.

Catrice HD Liquid Coverage Foundation

This product from Catrice got the attention of the online beauty community for its amazing price point and excellent coverage. Available in 26 shades, the HD Liquid Coverage Foundation is an ultra-lightweight formulation that provides high coverage and a natural finish. Perfect for those wanting the additional coverage without appearing cakey on the skin, the foundation creates a smooth and even complexion for up to 24 hours. Additionally, the brand is cruelty-free and vegan. So, if you are searching for a foundation that covers skin imperfections, mattifies the skin, and won’t break the bank, this foundation should be in your cart.

e.l.f Cosmetics Jelly Highlighter

Hydrated skin is the name of the game in 2022, even when it comes to your makeup. Looking to become a glowing goddess without the heavy highlighter streaks? Skip the powder highlighters and go for a jelly formula that glides right onto your cheekbones as a gel then set on your skin exactly like a powder. The result is a glistening glow that was once only achievable post-workout!  e.l.f. Cosmetics is the most recent brand to release their version of the pigment-packed formulations, and according to the reviews, it's got a lot of bang for very little buck.
