Makeup-Tok is one of our favourites amongst the unofficial TikTok subgenres. The inevitable trial and error involved in searching for great makeup products are no longer left to chance. Thanks to the makeup gurus of TikTok giving us insight on the products we need to get our hands on and also, the products to stray away from.
Drugstore makeup is nothing like what it used to be. It’s way better! You can basically find any makeup product you could ever want, easily accessible at your local drugstore. Some even favoured over high-end makeup products. We did some digging (or scrolling) through TikTok, on the hunt for some makeup recommendations and certain drugstore makeup products kept popping up over and over, which means they must be worth a try!
Keep reading to see what makeup TikTokers can’t stop raving about!
