In a July 2025 YouTube video, creator Milabu (@milabuco) recreates the viral Shelby Ann makeup tutorial using an all-drugstore product lineup. She notes the tutorial's focus on achieving "very glowy, almost glass-like skin" and shares her thoughts on each product as she applies them.
What skincare did Milabu use for the glowy base?
Milabu starts with a simple skincare routine, noting she doesn't go heavy because she has combination skin. She uses three products:
- Thayers Hydrating Milky Toner: "Starting first with Thayers, the milky toner, hydrating toner. She keeps her skincare very simple, which I like."
- e.l.f. Holy Hydration! Thirst Burst Drops: "Next, we have the e.l.f. Thirst Drops. I don't go really heavy with my skincare just because I do have combination skin."
- e.l.f. Suntouchable Whoa Glow SPF 30: "She was using the e.l.f. Woe Glow. Her biggest thing is have very glowy, almost glass-like skin for your makeup application."
What foundation and concealer does Milabu recommend?
For base makeup, Milabu highlights two L'Oréal products she considers standouts.
- L'Oréal True Match Super-Blendable Foundation: "She loves the L'Oreal True Match Super Blendable. This is one of the better foundations at the drugstore. Just really creamy, really natural, blends like a dream, and it wears really well."
- L'Oréal True Match Radiant Serum Concealer: "I'm gonna use L'Oreal True Match Concealer. I think this one is beautiful, in my opinion." She also mentions using the Neutrogena Radiant Cream Concealer in Light Ivory as a brightening shade.
What are the best drugstore cream bronzer and blush?
Milabu applies cream products heavily, following the tutorial's technique.
- Milani Cheek Kiss Cream Bronzer in Hey Honey: "Next is the best cream bronzer at the drugstore, which is the Milani. I have it in shade, Hey Honey. And again, she goes heavy-handed. And I'm gonna do the same."
- SHEGLAM Color Bloom Liquid Blush in Love Cake: "For a liquid or cream blush, use the She Glam. These are the Color Bloom Liquid Blushes in shade Love Cake. These are very affordable. And they blend out so nice."
What powder and setting spray does Milabu use?
To set the makeup, Milabu uses a powder she calls "phenomenal" and a strong-hold mist.
- L'Oréal Infallible Blur-Fection Loose Setting Powder in Brightening Light Pink: "Her favorite powder from the drugstore, the L'Oreal Infallible Le Blur Affection Powder. And yes, it is phenomenal. I am using the light pink shade."
- L'Oréal Infallible 3-Second Setting Mist: "Now to set everything, the L'Oreal 3-Second Setting Mist. This is essentially hairspray for your face. It smells like it, it feels like it, but it will go away. Close your mouth, don't breathe, and spray."
What lip combo and brow product does Milabu use?
Milabu finishes the look with a plumping liner and gloss, and starts with a laminated brow effect.
- NYX Duck Plump Plumping Lip Liner in Subtle Touch: "For lip combo, I only have one of her products that she talked about, which is the lip liner. This is the NYX Duck Plumping Lip Liner in Subtle Touch."
- Maybelline Lifter Gloss in Gummy Bear: "And then top it off with your lip gloss. And Shade Gummy Bear by Maybelline, the Lifter glosses."
- L'Oréal Infallible Brow Lamination: "This is the L'Oreal Brow Lamination. Phenomenal brow product from the drugstore." She fills in lightly with a CoverGirl Nano Pencil in Medium Brown.
Milabu concludes by noting the tutorial's focus on layering, using the L'Oréal Infallible 24-Hour Freshwear Bronzer over the cream products, calling it "one of the best bronzers at the drugstore."
