I know this probably gets asked a lot but I need help with picking a foundation. I want something that is medium coverage at least and preferably drug store (nothing high end) because I don't wear foundation often enough to justify spending a lot of money on one. My skin is oily and and I do break out sometimes along my chin. any help is appreciated! Also something not that doesn't cake easily.

totally unrelated to foundation but also if anyone has any eyeliner recommendations (I'll be using it for winged linger) and mascara recommendations too. Thank you!

Normally I have my sister help pick foundation because I'm not good with matching it to my skin and she knows a lot about makeup but she isn't here to help me.

I can't help much with foundation but for liner I've been loving the Estee Lauder Little Black Liner. It's pricey but it's double ended, waterproof, superblack and makes doing symmetrical wings super easy so I'd highly recommend it!

Maybelline fit me is really great :) I also really like bourjois healthy mix. If you're looking for medium/high coverage, Rimmel stay matte is the right foundation for you. for the eyeliner my absolute favorite is the master liner also by maybelline. For the mascara, my favs are the bodybuilder by the balm, miss manga by l'oreal (but forget it if you have sensitive eyes), benefit they're real, and two from maybelline but I don't remember their names (basically it's the red one and the light pink one)

L'oreal infallible pro matte foundation is my HG drugstore foundation, I have a similar skin type. It's more of a demi-matte finish than matte, but I kind of prefer that, it looks more natural. These aren't wrapped, so you should be able to swatch in store to find your shade. There's also Revlon Colorstay and Rimmel 25 Hour foundations. These, to me, are nearly identical, but colorstay has a wider range of colors in the light-medium range, and rimmel's has a larger range of fair-light shades (which is extremely rare in a drugstore brand!) I've also heard nothing but good things about the Maybelline Fit Me Matte+Poreless, but I haven't tried it myself.

As for eyeliner, it's not drugstore but it has a drugstore price tag, is inglot gel liner in #77. It is the blackest black, easy to work with, doesn't smudge, lasts all day, and you get a VERY generous amount. I can't recommend it enough!

I agree that the Revlon Colorstay and Rimmel 25 hour foundation are amazing. But for eyeliner that's also drugstore I really like the NYC liquid liner. It's only like $3 and it's matte black. Just be careful cause it can be a bit liquidy, but especially if you set it with a black eyeshadow it will seriously last ALL day. Hope this helps! :)

I personally really like the L'oreal Pro Matte foundation. It reminds me a lot of MACs Pro Longwear but the L'oreal one actually has a color that matches, with the MAC one I couldn't find a match in that particular formula.

I've used the revlon colorstay and didn't particularly like it. I felt that it mad. Me quite greasy, creased easily and faded throughout the day on me but my skin is quite oily.

And for an eyeliner, the L'oreal Infallible Gel liner is good, for mascara I personally like the Physicians formula lash extension kit, it's basically that two-step type where you have a separate tube of fibers
