I'm a Bridal Makeup Artist—5 Trustworthy Drugstore Staples I Use on My Clients' Big Day
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Welcome to Drugstore Heroes, a monthly series in which we spotlight the often-overlooked and underhyped drugstore beauty products that industry experts count on. We're asking tastemakers, from editors to content creators and even celebs, to share their top recommendations for affordable yet effective products. Get ready to see the best of drugstore beauty, period. For many people, their wedding day is one of the, if not the, most important and high-stakes beauty moments of their lives. When else do you throw a massive celebration that takes months or sometimes years to plan? When else is an event attended by every important person in your life? When else are you *that* photographed? It's not the time for flaking, smudging, feathering, or any other makeup meltdown. Whether you're working with a professional makeup artist or doing it yourself (yes, it's possible), it's important to use only fail-safe and long-lasting products. You know, the ones that will withstand sweating, teary eyes, high-res photos… You name it. Surprisingly, some of the best wedding-proof makeup products can be found at the drugstore. Yes, really. Brielle Pollara, a celebrity, editorial, and bridal makeup artist, is proof of that. Below, she shares the five most reliable and budget-friendly wedding makeup products in her pro kit. How often do you use drugstore makeup products on your celebrity and/or bridal clients? I use drugstore products more often than people may think. Although in my kit there are a lot of high-end staples, there are some drugstore products that I swear by, especially for complexion and lips. It all really depends on what products can perform best under lights, cameras, and all-day wear. Regardless of the price tag, if something is tried-and-true, I'll use it. What would you say to someone who thinks drugstore makeup products can't perform as well as luxury ones, especially when it comes to a big day like one's wedding? I would tell them that price doesn't always equal performance. There are drugstore products that easily outperform some luxury ones. For a big day like a wedding, it's more about how the product wears on the skin and photographs than the branding on the bottle or the price tag. If it's in my kit, it's because I've tested it thoroughly and it works, not just because it's expensive. Any tips or tricks for finding good drugstore makeup products? There are so many options! My biggest tip would be to swatch and research. Look at reviews from MUAs on TikTok or Instagram for professional insight, not just influencers. Also, pay attention to what works best on your skin type. It's important to always test wear at home before relying on a product for a big event to avoid surprises. Don't sleep on dupes either! Some drugstore brands will formulate their products just like high-end ones. A lot of drugstore lines have great quality; you just need to know where to look. "This liner is a staple in my personal and professional makeup kit! It lasts all day, is waterproof, and is so easy to use! My most used shades are black and brown." View Deal "This has been one of my go-to lipsticks for the last 10 years! It looks amazing on almost all skin tones and has an amazing shine to it. I always pair this with a brown lip liner for the perfect nude lip." View Deal "This lipstick has a matte finish but is also very hydrating and never leaves your lips looking or feeling dry. This is the perfect nude lipstick for medium skin tones because of its peachy undertone, and for $11, it's a steal." View Deal "I [used] this mascara every day for years. The fan-effect brush gives your lashes length and volume, and it's a creamy formula, so it never leaves your lashes looking chunky. I use the shade Blackest Black, and sometimes, I use Brown Black for a softer look." View Deal "I love L.A. Girl's Shockwave Liners. They have a creamy formula and glide on effortlessly but last for hours. Gingerbread is a warm nude lip liner and pairs great with almost every shade of lipstick. Plus, it's only $6." View Deal Pollara's five wedding-proof makeup products cost $51. Talk about budget-friendly beauty for your big day.

Tesla says it delivered its first car autonomously from factory to customer
This might be a bigger deal than the robotaxis. Tesla said it completed its first fully autonomous vehicle delivery from factory to customer. A video posted on X shows the vehicle — a Tesla Model Y — leaving the company's Austin Gigafactory, driving on the highway, passing through suburban sprawl and residential neighborhoods, before arriving at a customer's apartment building. Tesla CEO Elon Musk had promised the first fully autonomous delivery would take place June 28th. But on Friday he announced that the milestone had been achieved a day early. 'There were no people in the car at all and no remote operators in control at any point. FULLY autonomous!' Musk wrote on X. 'To the best of our knowledge, this is the first fully autonomous drive with no people in the car or remotely operating the car on a public highway.' That last part isn't accurate. Waymo has been operating fully driverless vehicles with passengers on the highway for over a year. The vehicles, which are driving on freeways in Phoenix, San Francisco, and Los Angeles, are only available to employees of the company, with the goal to open them up to the public at a later date. But Tesla's achievement is still notable, especially when you consider the rocky rollout of the company's robotaxi service. The robotaxis launched with safety monitors in the passenger seat with access to a kill switch, and within a few days the vehicles were recorded committing several safety lapses, including driving over the double-yellow line into the opposite lane of traffic and hard braking in the middle of the road for no apparent reason. By proving it can operate fully autonomous vehicles on highways without a safety monitor present in the vehicle, Tesla is able to demonstrate that its Full Self-Driving system is getting closer to Musk's promise of 'unsupervised' driving. The robotaxis aren't quite there yet, still requiring safety monitors and remote supervisors. That leaves Tesla in limbo between confidence that its technology can handle the driving without anyone in the vehicle, but less confident when there's a human being riding inside.

Apple iPhone 17: Key Design Upgrade Promised In New Leak
Apple's next big release, it's thought, will be the iPhone 17 series in September (expected date here), and a new leak suggests that in at least one important way, the new regular iPhone will be different from the current one. Apple iPhone 16: the iPhone 17 may feature a bigger, better display. This year looks like being a year of big design changes including a new slim iPhone, longer-lasting batteries, a thicker-than-ever iPhone 17 Pro Max and more. Now, according to a new report from Digital Chat Station, a leaker on Weibo who had accurately come up with Apple information previously, the display on the iPhone 17 is about to get bigger. Right now, the iPhone 16 display measures 6.1 inches, while the iPhone 16 Pro screen is 6.3 inches. It seems the iPhone 17 screen will be enlarged to match the Pro model at 6.3 inches. The new report chimes with one in May from analyst Ross Young. At the time, it seemed to suggest that not only will the display be bigger, but that it could finally mean the regular iPhone would see ProMotion technology — where a dynamic refresh rate balances smoother viewing while conserving battery life where possible — would come to a non-Pro iPhone for the first time. Since then, it's been suggested that while there will be a change in display refresh rate, it will simply move from the current 60Hz to a 120Hz screen, without the dynamic changes of ProMotion. That's a shame, because ProMotion is tremendous, and is one of the reasons the iPhone 16 Pro and others have always-on displays. Still, Apple has always said it's a Pro feature. If you're thinking of upgrading from iPhone 16 to iPhone 17 then, yes, you'll need a new case. The iPhone 16 Pro with 6.3-inch display is fractionally larger in every direction compared to the iPhone 16, so current cases wouldn't fit. Mind you, do you want your brand-new phone crammed into a year-old case, anyway? According to other rumors, there's another way the front of the iPhone 17 will differ from the iPhone 16: the front-facing camera is expected to change from 12-megapxiel to 24-megapixel resolution.
