My mum is not a "makeup fan" at all, she has been using just drugstore products since ever (L'Oreal, Maybelline, etc), she doesn't even wear foundation (I know there are some other people too that regurlarly don't, it's just absurd to me cos I would die without), her makeup is: concealer, blush, mascara and lipstick (for special occasion a black khol on the waterline, lol)
I can tell for sure that there is a "high end" product that she is never without: Dior n.999, bright red!
