As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.
As glamorous as many of us may feel when we use a luxury beauty product, there's still the mass appeal of a budget foundation or face cream that we plucked from the beauty aisle of our local drugstore. Stores like CVS, Walgreens, and every drugstore in between are treasure troves for affordable products that work effectively and follow through on just as many promises as their higher-priced counterparts.
A cream blush that'll give you that flushed, just-left-the-beach look? They've got it. A mascara that provides enough volume and length to make you reconsider wearing eyelash extensions? You can find those, too.
If you don't believe us, just ask Daniel Martin — a celebrity makeup artist who's worked with stars like Meghan Markle, Jessica Alba, and Nina Dobrev. Ahead, we asked him to dish on his favourite CVS beauty products he swears are worth stocking up on this summer.
