AN entrepreneur has shared her top drugstore beauty picks that won't break the bank.
She revealed her favorite four makeup products that rival expensive brands for a fraction of the price.
CEO and skincare lover Olga Parno is involved in all aspects of the beauty industry.
She previously shared with The U.S. Sun her ice trick for a glowy face that models swear by.
Now, she has offered a few recommendations for budget-friendly buys.
"There are some great drugstore makeup products that really stand up against their more expensive counterparts," she said.
She first recommended the .
She said it is "a great alternative to a heavy foundation with a serum-like texture to effortlessly melt into the skin."
It provides light coverage and brightening effects while the 1% Hyaluronic Acid also hydrates and smooths the skin over time.
Next, she suggested the , which is a liquid blush with an almost gel-like texture.
"It provides a very natural yet visible wash of color and a beautiful glow to my cheeks," she said.
Parno also suggested the , saying it's an affordable dupe for the "cult-favorite" Tarte Shape Tape Concealer.
"This concealer is a great budget-friendly alternative to the Tarte, providing full coverage whilst still hydrating the skin for a beautiful crease-proof finish," she explained.
Finally, she recommended the , which is also "all the rage right now."
"I’m here for it! I love the glossy finish and gentle wash of color without any stickiness and they’re great for when my lips are on the drier side," she said.
"There’s nothing worse than your lipstick settling into all those fine lines! Give me lip oil over lipstick any day!"

Parno also emphasized the importance of keeping your skin hydrated while sharing her tips for applying makeup as you get older.
"Getting older doesn’t mean we should be wearing more makeup to cover up the effects of aging," she said.
In her opinion, less is more.
"Lighter base and lip products such as serum-based foundations, skin tints, liquid blushes, and lip oils are great because they’re less likely to cake and sit in your wrinkles by midday," she explained.
Parno said that "often powders, full-coverage foundation, and other heavy makeup end up accentuating fine lines and wrinkles."
As a result, she said our complexion sometimes "ends up looking worse than if we just left it bare."

Sephora is home to hundreds of must-have make-up products, skincare saviors, and beauty bestsellers.
This month, Sephora shoppers can browse an array of discounts and deals, including savings on popular beauty brands.
"I also love mixing my base products, such as concealer, in with a hydrating face mist," she added.
Parno recommended to infuse the skin with skincare benefits.
It also gives it a much more natural, dewy finish.
Parno noted that aging "a blessing," and we "should be grateful that we get to experience it."
