We love to try makeup products from indie brands to specialty shops, but thereโ€™s something to love about drug store brands. For starters, they are easy to access when you are in a makeup rut, even if itโ€™s in the middle of the night. We all have a few drugstore makeup brands we love, right?

Weโ€™ve all had those moments when we forget to pack a lipstick in our purse before heading out on the town. Or how about when you are traveling and realize that you forgot to pack your makeup bag?

These all call for a trip to the drugstore STAT!
