I don't know what drugstore means since we don't use that concept in my country O.O but I guess drugstore make-up would be cheap, am I right?

I always buy as cheap make-up as I can find.

1.) A dark black liquid eyeliner. - I currently own two. I bought one of them at H&M and that was the best decision EVER. It was only something like £3 or so but damn it was wonderful. The brand is H&M btw. The other eyeliner that I own and use is one by Max Factor, it was a bit more expensive, like £12 or so but it's nowhere near as good as the H&M one.

love your icon.

drug store= chemists = pharmacy

Thanks :')

I probably should have worded that differently because what I meant was that drug stores don't sell make-up here :P

i would recommend MAC eyeshadows over the UD naked palette, if you're going to be investing anyway. i like MAC neutrals a lot more than the range of colors available in the palette, and you get to pick which specifically you want. the colors are gorgeous, don't get me wrong, but on me i find that they all seem to blend into one pretty similar looking shade, whereas with MAC i don't experience that. also, the majority of them are shimmery, so if someone doesn't like that then they only have like, two shades, which are matte.

i was going to suggest MAC penultimate liner for a black liquid liner until i saw you prefer drugstore. idk how the prices of MAC range from drugstore prices where you live (here drugstore isn't much cheaper than MAC is). also, creme d'nude from MAC is the perfect nude lipstick, and definitely worth investing in.

I think I might have to try out MAC eyeshadows tbh. They have a lot of gorgeous neutral colors and I was really only going to for the UD palette since it's 12 shadows for 50$ since UD shadows aren't that great imo.

Could you recommend any MAC dupes for the shades in the UD palette?

Thanks for all the suggestions! xo

i'm not sure of exact dupes, but a couple of MAC neutrals i really like are grain, naked lunch, all that glitters, texture and bronze. bronze i'm pretty sure is very similar to smog from the UD palette.

temptalia.com also has a lot of suggestions for MAC shades - she sometimes provides dupes for things for drugstores, too :)

1. Wet n' Wild liquid liner. Great formula for the price, pitch black. I recommend using a separate brush though, if you can spring for it.

I'll check it out, thanks!

I love Wet 'n' Wild's H20 proof liquid liner. It lasts forever.

NYX will do all of those quite well for not too much money. NYX has replaced my 10 year favorite, L'oreal lineur intense as my liquid liner (though I still like the softer L'oreal brush more), has a great white shimmery shadow (in palettes or pigment or pressed shadow, it's called white pearl as a single), has a lot of nude palettes to choose from ranging in size from 3-9 shades, and several blush formulations (I use cream blush in hot pink and love it). I also like their pencil liners, and their lipsticks, though nude and pink are not colors I wear.

I have never used NYX, though I've seen everyone rave about them and the prices are great. My local asian market has a lot of Nyx stuff, so I'll check that out tomorrow, lol. Thanks!

I second this. I have the Super Skinny Liner and it's taken over. The neutrals palette is more matte than the Naked palette.

i really like the naked palette and it was worth the money for me, but i've heard nyx makes a palette with basically the same colors so if you're on a budget that might be a better option.

i don't have any shade suggestions, but revlon lipsticks are really good. the ones in the pretty quilted square tube specifically. and i've only owned one nyx lipstick but i was pleased with it as well.

I have been eyeing those lipsticks for a long time, haha. Thanks! xo
