trying out the makeup. when i took the wrapper off, the brush bristles did not come up so they are small and stubby and i cannot use the brush. how can i get the bristles to come up. i'm pretty upset b/c it was expensive and if i cant get the bristles to come up i'm deff. returning it. so anybody know how to get the bristles up and make the brush normal?
thanks for your time :]I just bought an expensive makeup brush from sephora. it was the same style the lady used on me when we were?
I think she sold you the wrong brush on accident. The Sephora brushes all look alike and there are a lot of them, and sometimes they end up in the wrong holder at the store. I would take it back and ask for the correct brush, and make sure you unwrap it before you buy it. I just bought an expensive makeup brush from sephora. it was the same style the lady used on me when we were?
not sure what you mean by ';up'; but you can wet it and reshape the brush like you would when you clean it. it should help
Try twisting the bottom.
Maybe you just got a defective brush. I would take it back!

id dieeee for a set like this!!Bright and non expensive makeup?
You can buy the first and third ones from Coastalscents.com and click on the left side under palettes. I've never seen them for sale in person. Also check out brands like NYX (sold at ulta and cherryculture.com), L'oreal Hip (most drugstores), Wet N Wild eyeshadow palettes (drugstores), and Ben Nye (serach online, or at some beauty supply/theater/costume stores). Bright and non expensive makeup?
mmmm..
well, my computer was being retarded
and wouldn't let me view the pictures,
but i do know that Hot Topic has really
bright colors(:
so does Claire's.
Sephora does, although they're a little on the expensive side.
At regular drug stores they have some really bright eyeshadow and fake eyelashes.
but the eyeshadow may not be the best quality.
hope i helped(:

What brand of makeup works like a expensive brand, but is way less?
i dont want clique, or anything that costs over $15 unless it
works really super good.What brand of makeup works like a expensive brand, but is way less?
LorealWhat brand of makeup works like a expensive brand, but is way less?
I use Cover Girl %26amp; Mac. They both fade %26amp; rub off the same.
I am an Avon sales rep and I have many customers changing from Clinique to our Anew line. They say they have researched it and the Anew line is right up there with the best brands. We carry many lines and some are cheaper like the Ageless Solutions Brand which I use myself. You just need to try something new and see if it works for you. I personally love it.
this is actually a tricky question...becuase...when it comes to makeup...sticking to one line is almost impossible.
I've worked as a makeup artist for 20 years and when I do consultation...never have I stock to one line...example:
I love Prestige liners...love Bare Minerals for overall foundation...lipsticks---Revlon good for the price, Channel though expensive is awesome...Mac for eye-shadows and brushes... and Mascara...fabulash by Maybelline, is the ultimate favorite. So you see, I may spend a lot on my brushes, because the fact is that no matter what makeup you buy, if you don't have the right equipment to apply it, the makeup will not look good...Go to ULTA 3, and have some fun...they have a huge variety of stuff, from the inexpensive to the expensive. and remember to blend, blend, blend.
L'Oreal is very good, it's owned by the same company that owns Lancome and the products are VERY similar. Revlon is good as well. I would stay away from Cover Girl...comparing Cover Girl to MAC is like comparing hamburger to filet mignon!
I would say Covergirl

Most expensive makeup?
So for school I have to do a project about the language used in advertising. My group is working on how the language of different priced makeup brands use language differently.
So we are going to choose three brands, one thats sort of cheap, that you can easily buy in drug stores (we were going to use covergirl), one thats mid-priced, the kind you would find in departament stores (maybe clinique) and one really high end, something that would be a really big contrast.
So my question is whats the most expensive brand I could find, something where a tube of lipstic would cost over $100 or something like that.
Thank you in advanceMost expensive makeup?
H. Couture Beauty
http://www.hcouturebeauty.com/
Their specially formulated mascara retails for $589 and the lip color retails for $150.
http://www.pr.com/press-release/18153Most expensive makeup?
I found this for you ~~ maybe it will help.
H. Couture Beauty sells makeup that comes in bejeweled cases studded with gold, swarovski and real diamonds. The luxury cosmetic company have sold the world鈥檚 most expensive mascara and lipstick for $14 million. The company?s mascara generally retails for $589 and the lip color retails for $150. The high-priced makeup comes with luxury concierge service, 24/7 customer service and complimentary lip and lash refills for a year. Like, the company retails a lip plumper for $348 which comes with one free refill and lip liner for $120, which also comes with one full product refill.
Dior, Chantecaille (they have a $90 eyeshadow compact), Armani, and some chanel. There are some REALLY high brands, but these are the most expensive that ';regular'; people buy.
And to add more contrast you could do an even cheapr drugstore brand like Wet N' wild, ELF, or NYX.

Expensive makeup! is it worth the price?
i bought a napeolan concealer, i was happy with it but considering i payed $40 4 it i felt really let down
i bought napeolan lip gloss, and it looked good for about 5 mins then it kinda peeled my lips then little white bits were all in it and i paid $20!
i bought a mac foundation LUV it looks awesum but cums off after 2hours nd i paid $50
is expensive make up really that much better than maybelline, revlon etc. considering how much more u pay or is it all just a status symbol?Expensive makeup! is it worth the price?
believe me high end makeup is worth the price. I think the difference in quality is huge! an plus you should not just put cheap crap on, its your face!Expensive makeup! is it worth the price?
No, it's not always better. Most of the time it's the same, and companies think that just by putting a well-know, designer name on the products will make them better, but it doesn't. And I would especially reccommend not buying those expensive products, since they seem to wear off easily.
You are crazy! i would never buy make up that was that expensive! Revlon, maybelline etc., are name brands. that's all i use! it all lasts long on me. I think that Mac and all those fancy brands are simply just a status symbol. I could easily afford to buy expensive brands, but its definitely not worth it.
Not at all. I watched The Tyra Banks Show she did an experiment with a girl who was addicted to expensive make-up. They did half of her face in drugstore make up and the other half in expensive stuff. She completely mistakes the drugstore make up for the expensive stuff.
It depends on what you like. I like my $1.99 Jane mascara than the junk $40 mascara I got from Lancome. Just try out different make-up brands and see what you like best. Theres alot of good products at the drugstore.
Well, considering the amount of animals put to death for your vanity, I think you are getting it cheap. Stop grumbling and pay the price.
omg not worth the money..loreal and maybelline are better. considering the value and quality.. infailble products of loreal and mascara of maybelline. even make up artists use em.
no it isnt worth the price if its expensive but ruins ur skin.
It really depends upon how badly you want to get some..............
I buy Cover girl, and Almay.
I don't like the expensive makeup because to me it is a waste of money.
yes it is better you just have to choose the right brands.microsoft

What are some good expensive makeup brands for people just starting to buy expensive makeup?
ok, I want to start buying decently good expensive makeup. I have watched a lot of videos explaining how to apply makeup the right way using nice brushes and quality makeup, and a brand that comes up a lot is MAC. now I have never bought really expensive makeup, just drugstore stuff. I would like to start buying some decently good makeup, so I was wondering if anyone has ANY advice or even just some tips on what some of the good brands are, that would be suitable for a BEGINNER like me, just starting out? Thanks ahead of time for any replies! =]What are some good expensive makeup brands for people just starting to buy expensive makeup?
I wear teenage-styled makeup and love f.y.i.arbonne. It's natural makeup that doesn't hurt your skin, but looks cute and sophisticated. It lasts a long time and comes in lots of different colors. The foundation triples as a sunscreen, moisturizer, and foundation. The lip gloss is very thick and looks and feels great. The mascaras come with a plastic comb, so that your lashes aren't stuck together. The eyeshadows come in the following colors: quarterback(black), prom queen (purple), sheer genuis (bright dark green), best dressed (light tan), dramatic (turquoise), and high school sweatheart (brown).
I would definently try out f.y.i.arbonne, you'll be glad you did. What are some good expensive makeup brands for people just starting to buy expensive makeup?
Mac, brands from Sephora such as Benefit, Nars (Great Blushes), and Urban Decay, and Ulta (you can get 20% coupons and use on brands like Smashbox, Stila, Urban Decay, or etc)
Btw I just want to say some drugstore stuff is better quality than expensive brands and vice versa...It's just basically how you apply it.
Shop at MAC or Sephora, that's where I get all my stuff. But you don't HAVE to have expensive makeup to get a good look because when your wearing it, nobody knows what brand your wearing. If your starting out wearing it you should wear the cheap stuff to get the hang of things first and to see what colors go with your skin, what looks good, what doesn't, etc...
It depends on your age.MAC is good, great eyeshadows, nice lipgloss and I love their liquid eyeliners. MAC fundations if you are on your 20's. If you are on your 30's and up I suggest Lancome or Chanel foundation because they have pigments and ingredients that work really well for your skin. As of mascaras, I sugest you get the D脡FINICILs mascara from lancome, your lashes will look fab.
i'd say go for MAC, it's almost like the cheapest expensive brand out there, and has a lot of eyeshadows, brushes, blushes, etc to work with :)
Go to Sephora.com or the store they have expensive everything,makeup,hair products,perfume,colon,and much more.That's where my mom buys her makeup.It's about $ 30-$100.Good Luck
Smashbox
Bobbi Brown
Lancome
Lise Watier
Gosh
Red Earth
Dior
Try Smashbox. MAC is the other one I would recommend.
MAC...
MAC
Its the best =)
Definitely MAC because they have a huge selection and are relatively cheap for being a good quality brand. $14.50 for an eyeshadow is pretty darn good, if you ask me. And it's even cheaper ($12 something?) if you buy them in palette form. MAC sells empty eyeshadow palettes (they have ones with 4 slots, and I think 12 slots) and you just pick any colors you want and fill it up. Pretty handy.
One tip: Go to Sephora (or anywhere that sells Urban Decay) and get Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion. It will be the best thing you ever buy. You put it on your lids before using eyeshadow, liner, etc and your eyeshadow stays on until you take it off. I could go to sleep in it and my eye makeup would still be perfect the next morning! I once tried rubbing my makeup off with a bit of water and it still would not come off. Also, use only a dab of it. A little goes a long way!

Makeup question? Cheap makeup, looking like expensive makeup? Easy 10 points!?
Okay, I'm almost 13, and I don't wear a lot of make up. When I do wear it, I try to make it look as natural as possible. The only makeup stuff I own is Dream Matte Powder (I forget who makes it), some light and medium blue Bonnie Belle eye shadow shades, some brown-ish- bronze-ish Alway eye shadow shades, Great Lash mascara, Almay blush, lots of lip gloss, and a huge collection of brushes and ya know makeup applying thingys. (:
Anyway, my question is.......
how can I put on my cheap makeup to make it look like expensive brand make up
i have already tried dabbing a lil bit of water on one of my brushes and mixing it into my eyeshadow to make it appear more vivid.
I refuse to ask my mom for expensive brands of makeup, because I'm only 12 and a half, and I think it would be totally ridiculous to have makeup that costs over $10.00.
Here's a few pics of me:

The best way to make your makeup look high end is to do your own research. L'Oreal HiP has great eyeshadows for about $5 or 6 at Walmart or look for a buy one get one half off (or free) at CVS or other drugstores.
I would recommend looking for a good concealer. Go to http://www.makeupalley.com/ to find product reviews on personal care items (makeup, perfume, skincare, etc).
coastal scents is a great cheap makeup brand and all theyre makeup is high quality
so you look like your makeup cost waaay more than it did
the colors are really vibrant and show up great
you can pull off an expensive look without paying too much :]
honeslty i feel like you're way too young to feel self conscious about your face, but if you must know!
makeup doesnt ever ';look'; cheap when its on your face. If you apply bright colors unevenly and you dont blend the right way then YOU will look cheap. The Best way to make it look like you know what you're doing and what you're buying is to actually know how to apply makeup correctly. If you just put on some purple eyeshadow with red lipstick it looks gross. You have to learn how to blen colors and define your cheeks and properly apply foundation..... all in all , you need find a look that you want , then buy the makeup for that look and THEN learn how to correctly apply the makeup to your features!
goodluck!
Wet'n'Wild and Milani are great cheap brands. Not everything from them works the best, but there's a few select things, like the liquid and pencil eyeliners and lipliners, and nail polishes work wonders.
The best way to make cheap make-up look expensive is to apply it properly. Watching and learning some make-up techniques on youtube can be beneficial.
And there are some really great eyeshadow palates out there that you can buy with something like twenty different color shadows at about $20-25 and it'll last you a really long time. Think of it as an investment. =
=] Hope it helps!
first off, its not about how much it is, its about how you wear it BUT it your mascara cost like 2 bucks, your probably getting crap. try MARK.COM because its pretty cheap and its good quality. it may be more on the expensive side becuz some things are over $10 BUT ITS WORTH IT OK!! you may also want to try going to youtube and search for ';cheap make up tutorial'; and im sure you will find TONS of videos on how to apply the make up and it will tell you what brand and how much and where you can get it. I personally use more expensive (not the most expensive) products because i break out easily and if that happens then def get better quality stuff. GOOD LUCK :)
First off, I am going into makeup. I have one friend who almost strictly lives in Sephora, which is an almost stupidly expensive makeup store. With that said, I can honestly say I do makeup better than she does, AND I will go into sephora with my cheap *** makeup from Walmart and they will compliment me, both Employees and customers. Lesson is don't ever think you need expensive makeup to look good. I'm not saying all BUT alot of girls buy expensive makeup to compensate, such as my friend.
Now on to a way for you to do your makeup. The easiest way to make your makeup look close to professional is to do a gradient. Anyone's eyes can do this. First, you start off with a light color, with that natural look you want to pull try a cream, light yellow or a white. Then take a brown, NOT A DARK brown but a plain brown, and put it on your ring finger(this is the weakest finger and won't hurt your eye) and dap a spot in the outside corner of each eye. Now lightly blend inwards so it gradiate from the light color to the dark color. Apply eyeliner, for you i'd use a dark brown, black might be too dramatic for you. For eyeliner, NEVER apply it completely around your eye! You will look like a tramp and a raccoon. Apply it along the edge of your eyelashes(above them) all along the top getting slightly thicker towards the outside edge. Then there are two things you can do with the bottom, 2/3rds or 1/3rd along the bottom of the eye. For you, I would do only 1/3 because your eyes are brown (this makes them not as poppy as blue) and frankly your eyes are on the smaller side. If you do 2/3rd this will make them look smaller whereas 1/3 will make them look wider, which you want. For the corner of your eye, just connect the two eyeliner lines, and leave it. This entire makeup effect will open up your eyes and make them look bigger. I have been doing this effect for my makeup for years and it still amazes people because once you get the blending down right, it looks professional, and most high school girls haven't a clue how to do it! They think putting just one eyeshadow color on there is what professionals do! silleh girls!
PS you may look at this and freak out, IT'S EASY! I promise! I just went into ALOT of detail!
ALSO if you want to venture aay from browns this effect can be used for any set of colors! For your eye color i would suggest a mauve or a purple! Brown eyes look GORGEOUS with purple!
Anyway, my question is.......
how can I put on my cheap makeup to make it look like expensive brand make up

You have to learn how to blen colors and define your cheeks and properly apply foundation..... all in all , you need find a look that you want , then buy the makeup for that look and THEN learn how to correctly apply the makeup to your features!
goodluck!
Wet'n'Wild and Milani are great cheap brands. Not everything from them works the best, but there's a few select things, like the liquid and pencil eyeliners and lipliners, and nail polishes work wonders.
The best way to make cheap make-up look expensive is to apply it properly. Watching and learning some make-up techniques on youtube can be beneficial.
And there are some really great eyeshadow palates out there that you can buy with something like twenty different color shadows at about $20-25 and it'll last you a really long time. Think of it as an investment. =

first off, its not about how much it is, its about how you wear it BUT it your mascara cost like 2 bucks, your probably getting crap. try MARK.COM because its pretty cheap and its good quality. it may be more on the expensive side becuz some things are over $10 BUT ITS WORTH IT OK!! you may also want to try going to youtube and search for ';cheap make up tutorial'; and im sure you will find TONS of videos on how to apply the make up and it will tell you what brand and how much and where you can get it. I personally use more expensive (not the most expensive) products because i break out easily and if that happens then def get better quality stuff. GOOD LUCK :)
First off, I am going into makeup. I have one friend who almost strictly lives in Sephora, which is an almost stupidly expensive makeup store. With that said, I can honestly say I do makeup better than she does, AND I will go into sephora with my cheap *** makeup from Walmart and they will compliment me, both Employees and customers. Lesson is don't ever think you need expensive makeup to look good. I'm not saying all BUT alot of girls buy expensive makeup to compensate, such as my friend.
Now on to a way for you to do your makeup. The easiest way to make your makeup look close to professional is to do a gradient. Anyone's eyes can do this. First, you start off with a light color, with that natural look you want to pull try a cream, light yellow or a white. Then take a brown, NOT A DARK brown but a plain brown, and put it on your ring finger(this is the weakest finger and won't hurt your eye) and dap a spot in the outside corner of each eye. Now lightly blend inwards so it gradiate from the light color to the dark color. Apply eyeliner, for you i'd use a dark brown, black might be too dramatic for you. For eyeliner, NEVER apply it completely around your eye! You will look like a tramp and a raccoon. Apply it along the edge of your eyelashes(above them) all along the top getting slightly thicker towards the outside edge. Then there are two things you can do with the bottom, 2/3rds or 1/3rd along the bottom of the eye. For you, I would do only 1/3 because your eyes are brown (this makes them not as poppy as blue) and frankly your eyes are on the smaller side. If you do 2/3rd this will make them look smaller whereas 1/3 will make them look wider, which you want. For the corner of your eye, just connect the two eyeliner lines, and leave it. This entire makeup effect will open up your eyes and make them look bigger. I have been doing this effect for my makeup for years and it still amazes people because once you get the blending down right, it looks professional, and most high school girls haven't a clue how to do it! They think putting just one eyeshadow color on there is what professionals do! silleh girls!
PS you may look at this and freak out, IT'S EASY! I promise! I just went into ALOT of detail!
ALSO if you want to venture aay from browns this effect can be used for any set of colors! For your eye color i would suggest a mauve or a purple! Brown eyes look GORGEOUS with purple!

Idk why but i do own MAC makeupp the colors are bright and teens love it
im a teen and luv colors so i go to mac but you dnt hav to buy frm MAC there are other companies
like Sephora.WHY IS MAC MAKEUP SO EXPENSIVE ?
its pigments are really vibrant and vivid. it goes on great. its what professionals use. basically, it makes you look better than if you used anything else.
It works. The eye shadows don't crease, the lip colors stay on all day...I could go on. It's just good stuff.

Sharon,
You are just paying for the name, if you buy it at the mall the store adds a markup so it adds up.
I recommend what I use: Coonobabe - South Beach style brand similar to chanel, or bobbi brown except much less expensive.
if interested Google Coonobabe
btw - they ship 4 free, made in USA, and do not test on animals.
Not only do most professionals use it but it's one kind of make up that works and has a good variety of colors to choose from. Also, it's good make up and goes on well. Because i wear a lot of make up myself %26amp; when i use cheap make up, it irritates my skin. Some cheap make up i'm actually allergic too. But other than that MAC is just a really good brand to use. It blends better with your skin tone better. Plus, it stays on it doesn't fade like most make up you find in stores.
BEST QUALITY.
ps: Typing in all caps unless it's an emergency is really annoying.
I use MAC and i love it i've tried other brands and MAC just has more coverage like i dont need to pack so much makeup on to cover wat i need to cover! And now they have the mineral collection that works really good and is really good for ur skin!

I need new everything pretty much and I have a spending limit of $40 atm... I'm in Canada if it matters.Anyone know where to get good makeup that isn't so expensive?
If you are interested in Avon, it's your best bet to sell it yourself. You can get started with $10...and once you're ';selling'; it, you get 50% off makeup that's already pretty darn cheap. If you're not interested in really aggressively selling it, it's not a problem, you aren't required to. You can just use the discount for yourself and maybe friends or family. I'm sure Avon reps (well, some of them at least) may frown upon this, but hey, it happens. I know several people who do it for just this reason. And hey, if you can profit just enough to pay for your own makeup, it's a win win!
You can go to Avon's website and find out how to sign up if you choose to. Or else I know that you can order directly off their website. I also think they have a search for you to find a dealer near you that you could purchase from (this may allow you to take advantage of any sales or bonuses the seller themselves are offering.)Anyone know where to get good makeup that isn't so expensive?

Non expensive makeup???
most of the makeup {eye shadow} i have does not stay on so i am looking for something that you dont have to dig into to get it on the brush and will go on to youf eyes really good and stay on thats not over 20$.and also whats a good long lasting lipstick? does anyone have pictures of makeup looks that they like?Non expensive makeup???
Eye make up can stay on better if you cleanse your lids to remove oils first, and then use foundation or concealer or powder to create a base for the shadows to stay.
Try Revlon ColorStay Eyeshadow or Almay's Intense i-Color. Both have nice colors and good staying power.
A nice long-lasting lipstick is Revlon's ColorStay overtime sheer lipcolor.Non expensive makeup???
Try E.L.F. makeup. Everything on their website is only $1 and you can also type in your zip code to find out which stores carry it.
If you are looking for something inexpensive that works well, then try Rimmel products. They are fantastic!! I really like thier blushes and lip glosses. Their eyeshadows are great as well.
If you have a little more money to spend, then try MAC products. Their make-up is very pigmented, so a little goes a long way. I LOVE their eyeshadows!! I have sooooo many colors. I used to love to play with them and come up with differnt combinations. (I had a baby months ago, so no time now!) All of their make-up products are great. They also have a variety of color.
Remember: Try before you buy!!
I don't know about the eye shadow but I can tell you which lipgloss stays on for a very long time, it's Max Factor MAXwear lip colors. It has a cylinder shape with two different colors on each side. I have tried it is almost as if the color is absorbed by your lips because you can touch them and it will feel as if you have nothing on, but you can see it. If you want to see a picture here is the URL http://www.maxfactor.com/user/get/lip_co鈥?/a>
I absolutely DISAGREE with the e.l.f recommendation. Their cosmetics are the WORST quality I've ever seen.
try mark. - its inexpensive, it lasts, and its fantastic.
elf NYC Covergirl
maybelline and covergirl....2 great products! and under $20! also, you have to check sales!
Ok first off, if you're just putting this eyeshadow on bare and hoping it'll stay....guess again! You have to put some base on your eyelids. What I mean by base is either concealer or foundation. Then apply any eyeshadow on, and it should stay on longer atleast. I use to have the same problem, and realized I was doing it all wrong. Lemme know if that helps!microsoft

Expensive Makeup vs. Cheap Makeup?
Is exspensive makeup better then inexspensive makeup? I don't see myself paying $25-$100+ for eye shadow, lip gloss, mascara etc because a designers name on it. The only thing I pay for thats over $20 is my foundation and I hate doing that.
Can someone give me the pros and consExpensive Makeup vs. Cheap Makeup?
I doubt there really are many differences. Bacteria will grow in expensive make-up just like it will grocery brand make-up so as long as you replace things regulary, I say, use what you like. You know what looks good on and you, and what feels right! I use everything from Almay to Chanel, and I wouldn't have it any other way!Expensive Makeup vs. Cheap Makeup?
Expensive, quality cosmetics contain higher amounts of pigment so you end up using less of it. Most shadows, blushes, etc., contain about 70% pigment.
Inexpensive cosmetics contain much less pigment, usually only about 10%. You will use much more of the product to get the right shade.
I have shadows that have lasted me about 10 years because there is so much pigment in them. (I have lots of make-up! ) Some people talk about bacteria growing in cosmetics, but when it is a pressed shadow or blush, it will last you longer- especially if you are the only one using it because the bacteria that grows in it is yours %26amp; you are used to it.
MAC's shadows are wonderful %26amp; w/ tons of pigment. They only cost about $13.00 for a pot of shadow. Cheek colour is about $16.00. Their prices are incredibly reasonable.
Try this test: put an inexpensive shadow on your hand %26amp; then a higher priced one %26amp; see what the different is. Many cosmetic companies are owned by the same parent company. Buerjois is made at the same factory w/ the same ingredients as Chanel. Most of the time, you are paying for fancy packaging %26amp; their advertising.
frist off all it depends on the brand two not all makeups are endorresed by celaberties what ur buying if you buy designer is better quiatly in the long run my suggestion? 1. the stuff you use all the time by quality it'll be better for you skin 2. the cheaper stuff is fine to wear but if you like to experment start with the cheaper stuff. 3. Go for the sales makeup conters give up tons of freebies if you buy at the right time (like makeup bags and some makeup)4. Set a bugdet $150 a year? use 100 on expesive stuff and 50 on cheap so think ahead it'll be better for you budget
i find my $1 eye liner stays on and lasts longer than my $5 eye liner
i know where you coming from, and there's probably several others that do too. i refuse to pay out the ears for something that's going to make me look alright for a few hours. in my opinion, you can get the same out of either cheap or expensive products. my eyeliner is 99 cents at wal-mart...it does better than a 4 dollar pencil i bought from a beauty supply store, i know 4 dollars isn't much, but why spend it if i don't have to. the only real difference in expensive makeup is the 'image' people like. they think expensive makeup makes you look like you've got the money to spend.
oh well. i prefer the cheap stuff. i can have a bigger variety in colors, textures, and a few other features in makeup that matter. it's tough for me to pay $8 for a foundation palette when i need it, but i have to shell out for that because that's probably the most important part of my makeup routine.
I agree with you 100%. Really, the only cosmetic you need to invest $$$ in is a good foundation b/c cheap foundation makes you look awful! Everything else I get as cheaply as I can.... although I don't go super cheap like Wet n' Wild brand at WalMart.
Mascara - definitely go cheap b/c you are supposed to replace the tube after 3 months anway. L'Oreal and Maybelline make good mascaras.
Eyeshadow - I do have some MAC ones that I got at outlet stores...but I think L'Oreal is just as good.
Lipstick - I also have some MAC, but again L'Oreal makes excellent lipsticks, nailpolish, etc.
I think in terms of discount/drug store brands L'Oreal is high quality at a good price. If you go too cheap, then the cosmetics don't last at all or they look reall bad (like chalky eyeshadow) when you put them on.
i tried both high in cosmetics and cheap cosmetics and the look is the same but since queen latifah has a line out i love her product its not high and i get a great look
There is a sense of luxury with expensive products. I love shopping at Sephora..... makes me feel so pampered. The expensive products in part you are paying for name and packaging, but usually the products have less of the irritating/cheap ingredients, more pigment (such as in the case of lipstick and eyeshadow), better scents, etc. You have to be selective, I guess. I have found the expensive products irritate my sensitive skin a lot less, and are overall nicer and more effective. And of course I love carrying around the pretty packaging. Slave to advertising? Maybe. But I am a firm believer that you get what you pay for.
try MAC! they are the best and its not very expensive. in the long run, you will save more money because their makeup lasts a lot longer then most cheap ones and they are the best quality!
I'll pay a little extra for foundation, but theres no way I'm going over twenty bucks. I buy name drugstore brands for eyeshadow because the cheaper brands don't give as good color as others sometimes.
cheap makeup:
spoil fast
irritate skin
expensive makeup:
last long
Well I have used both and now I go with the more expensive. I find it looks much better and it lasts longer on your face. Also you do not have to use as much so you wont have to buy it as often. For example when applying eye shadow, you have to put a lot more on with the cheaper product. You should go to a place like Dillards and get a free makeover at the makeup counter. Tell them you just want to wear it for the day and see what you think. Once you find the products you like you can get some of them on ebay for a lot less.
If you have senitive skin I would use the best to prevent future skin problems. However if your skin is not you can take a chance but buy a good cleaner.
Many department store brands are similar to drug store but usually in life you get what you pay for the cheap products have cheaper ingredients and fillers that can clog your pores and give you other problems, I swear by one brand alone now after trying various products that's BEE LUSCIOUS COSMETICS all natural very high quality products that leave my skin looking and feeling wonderful. My skin texture has never looked this great thanks to the quality Bee Luscious has, I would try them you will love them as much as I do and because of the results you won't even care how much it is..
The price of makeup has nothing to do with the quality most of the time. Normal brands usually work much better than designer anyway. Try a few normal brands and see what works for you. I really like the Loreal Natural Match for concealer, but Boots (a London favorite) at Target for mascara and eyeshadow. It's all a matter of what works best for you, not whose name is on it.
I use mineral girlz and it does not cost a lot of money but it gives me the coverage and look that big name brands can. So I figure why pay more when I can get the same thing for less.
Alot of cheap makeup really does not work that well ... There are some that do though, True Match Foundation works greast! and it's only a little over 10 bucks! True Blend also works really great and is also cheap! but I will tell you that Chanel makeup is great! There glosses and foundation... Hope that helps ya!
I am a make up artist and everybody has asked that question! Some time it is a matter of the ingredients that are used in a certain name brand product. Some things may have a better shelf life. But if your skin isn't particularly sensitive then I wouldn't worry about it. I love Walmart eyeshadow and my Maybeline mascara that only cost just over $5!!!! I have clients who ask me all the time, ';What make up do you use?! It always looks so good!'; When I tell them they can't believe. You have to splurge on some items (like your $20 foundation) but other things, you can buy the next best thing. I saw that you were brown skinned like me. The trick with eyeshadow is to make sure that your skin is moisturized first b/c it will stick better. Conceal if needed, and brushes make a huge difference. If you need to use a color that may not show up well, then just wet your brush first and then apply the shadow. This will make the color more intense. And always make sure that you use proper skin care (cleansing, moisturizing etc...) and products for your skin type (dry, oily, acne or combination). ALOT (not all) of the cheap stuff works just as well. Hope that answered your question.
they are pretty much both work the same. depends on what it is though.
Pros to expensive are that they don't clog your pores, they do last longer and treat your skin better.
Cons to expensive are that they do cost alot for what you could get cheaper.
I like Mac becuase even though I spend $, I treat my skin right and have a designer helping me.

The price of makeup has nothing to do with the quality most of the time. Normal brands usually work much better than designer anyway. Try a few normal brands and see what works for you. I really like the Loreal Natural Match for concealer, but Boots (a London favorite) at Target for mascara and eyeshadow. It's all a matter of what works best for you, not whose name is on it.
I use mineral girlz and it does not cost a lot of money but it gives me the coverage and look that big name brands can. So I figure why pay more when I can get the same thing for less.
Alot of cheap makeup really does not work that well ... There are some that do though, True Match Foundation works greast! and it's only a little over 10 bucks! True Blend also works really great and is also cheap! but I will tell you that Chanel makeup is great! There glosses and foundation... Hope that helps ya!
I am a make up artist and everybody has asked that question! Some time it is a matter of the ingredients that are used in a certain name brand product. Some things may have a better shelf life. But if your skin isn't particularly sensitive then I wouldn't worry about it. I love Walmart eyeshadow and my Maybeline mascara that only cost just over $5!!!! I have clients who ask me all the time, ';What make up do you use?! It always looks so good!'; When I tell them they can't believe. You have to splurge on some items (like your $20 foundation) but other things, you can buy the next best thing. I saw that you were brown skinned like me. The trick with eyeshadow is to make sure that your skin is moisturized first b/c it will stick better. Conceal if needed, and brushes make a huge difference. If you need to use a color that may not show up well, then just wet your brush first and then apply the shadow. This will make the color more intense. And always make sure that you use proper skin care (cleansing, moisturizing etc...) and products for your skin type (dry, oily, acne or combination). ALOT (not all) of the cheap stuff works just as well. Hope that answered your question.
they are pretty much both work the same. depends on what it is though.
Pros to expensive are that they don't clog your pores, they do last longer and treat your skin better.
Cons to expensive are that they do cost alot for what you could get cheaper.
I like Mac becuase even though I spend $, I treat my skin right and have a designer helping me.

Which is more expensive? (makeup)?
Chanel, MAC, or Urban Decay?
Specifically, eye shadow in general?
Thanks!Which is more expensive? (makeup)?
Chanel is the most expensive. Followed by Urban Decay and finally M.A.C.
with Chanel you are getting a shadow in a compact with a mirror and brush. The others you just get the single shadow color.
Chanel shadows are around $26 for the single and $52 for the Quads. They do have more of a limited color selection and you are of course paying for the name. Which is more expensive? (makeup)?
Chanel. They are the best though - not with eyeshadow, MAC is the eyeshadow guru. But I love the quality of their eyeliner best, especially the waterproof.
Chanel. Personally I don't believe their eyeshadows work nearly as well as other brands, either. Very limited variety as well.

Expensive makeup brands?
What are good expensive makeup brands to use?
Mac? Dior?NARS? or others?Expensive makeup brands?
Clinique can be expensive to some people not to me though it works great!Expensive makeup brands?
MAC and Urban Decay are my favourite semi-expensive brands, they have a nice product range which appeals to a lover of bright makeup, like myself. Make Up For Ever is amazing as well, it is on the expensive side but they have gorgeous products I have never seen anywhere else. Laura Geller does amazing mineralized products, some of her powders I like better than MAC's. I will always love my Chanel Glossimers, and the quality is generally very good. Dior, same deal. I am a sucker for Diorshow mascara.

Expensive brands??? hmmmm..... let's see there is Makeup Forever and Stila.....just go to Sephora .... if you're a high roller you can get Guerlain or Chanel
Yves St Laurent, Make Up For Ever, Chanel
go to sephora...
they have TONS of expensive makeup brands, including the ones you listed
mac lancome and sephora
MAC has some of the greatest makeup i've ever used. you get what you pay for with makeup. either way, the more money you spend the better the product will likely be.
MAC, Clinique, Lancome, Yves Saint Laurent, Dior, Chanel, DuWop, Givenchy, Murad, NARS, Shiseido, Urban Decay, Stila, Smashbox, Too Faced, Estee Lauder.
I've tried products from all above and luckily most were gifts, and were worth their weight in gold. :)
i only wear expensive makeup, the other stuff is useless.
MAC is amazing.
if you dont use it your beyond crazy.
Dior is also great for eyes.
I find that Laura Mercier has the best makeup for my skin. (:
MAC.
But why spend a ton of money if you don't have to? Maybelline Great Lash mascara is about $3.00/tube, and is the number one ranked mascara by make up artists in the US. Go figure.

Drugstore Makeup V.S Expensive Makeup?
Which do you think work better.
Drugstore makeup like:
Covergirl
MAX
Lorel
Revlon
ect.
or
Expensive Makeup like:
M.A.C
Bareminerals
Lacome
ect.Drugstore Makeup V.S Expensive Makeup?
I've always had better luck with drugstore makeup for some reason, especially Physician's Formula brand. Although, Clinique is another good expensive brand as well.Drugstore Makeup V.S Expensive Makeup?
i think there the same
ive used all of thoose and they seem
to be the EXACT same!
they are pretty much the same...i use both...but i think department store makeup look better....but it all depends on what you buy...you can try stuff on before you buy them...but drug store you cant
for eye makeup, revlon for sure. the eyeliners never smudge.
for skin i'd say bareminerals. they work best for me.
lacome lipglosses are really sticky too..
Personally, I use M.A.C. and LOVE it.
However, a lot of people like drugstore stuff better.
My advice would be to buy a high quality foundation. If your foundation is all screwy, your makeup will be screwy. Then I'd imagine you could do whatever you want as far as companies go.
If you can afford it, I would go with the high quality stuff. Whenever I can I go and buy some M.A.C. It lasts a long time and works great. But a good friend likes Bareminerals, it depends on your opinion. YOU'RE the one wearing the makeup, right? :-)
The good products do not tend to wear off as quickly, feel great when you put them on, and do not clump or smudge as easily or at all. The cheap stuff works, but it's just not as reliable.
However, it doesn't matter how nice your makeup is if you can't apply it properly. If you learn to apply is in the right places and the right way for your skin type and face shape, you can wear any brand and it will look fabulous :-).
I would suggest you read a book to get your advice. Personally, I found the book Makeup Makeovers by Robert Jones to be the best one out there. It's practically my Bible :-). My sister and I began using his suggestions and advice and we both constantly hear how great our makeup looks. My sister had someone stop her yesterday (Total stranger) and say, ';Your makeup is so beautiful!'; It was really cool.
I hope I helped
Well I don't exacty know what you meab by work better, but it depends on the product and what you are looking for, but i use BareMinerals.
hey umm i personally like the drugstore ones. i wanted to ask you how did you get ur hair layereed like that. im lookin for that style. i LOVE it =D can u help me?
I think its pretty much all the same. For myself I tend to spend a bit more on my basics, my bronzer, concealer, loose powder. I would spend more on foundation as well if I didn't absolutely love the ones from Rimmel. Some drugstore products are absolutely amazing, Jane and Rimmel would have to be my two favourites. Some stores will have testers while others will not, try to find a drugstore with a decent beauty department and ask the expert on site if there are testers available.
Im not saying that drugstore makeup doesn't work, but i can definately tell the difference in quality between the two and prefer spending the extra bucks for better make up like the second examples you listed.
Drug store quality flakes, cakes and does not work. The best name brand product is Bee Luscious Cosmetics, great flawless look every single time.
To compare and say Drug Store Quality is as good as Name Brand is to say that a cubic zirconia is the same as a real diamond. Simply not the case.
I use department store makeup exclusively for the quality. I have my eyeshadows last longer than a couple hours and I could not find a single good drugstore eyeliner, but I've found good stuff in everything at the counters. Not to mention that you can try everything at the counter or in the store, so you can really make a good decision.
I think it varies from brand to brand. I LOVE Lancome, but I also like Loreal. That is not suprising because Loreal produces Lancome. I would rather use Revlon than M.A.C. because the only M.A.C. product I bought I spent $20 on and it was an absolute waste of money. (It was some black pigment powder I bought for my eyes.) I also think it depends on the product you are buying. I would rather have Lancome foundation or Estee Lauder powder over Covergirl any day, but when it comes to eyeliner and lipstick I usually go cheaper. I also think that Covergirl Lash Exact mascara is about as good as Lancome's top rated mascara.
As far as lip glosses or eyeshadows go, I go for the cheaper drug store brands
But when it comes to my skin, and powders and foundations, I definitely want ot spend the extra money and MAC is my store! I reall think there is a difference when it comes to your foundation or powder, or bronzer and how long the make-up stays put, as well as how my skin feels when I am using it!
**stay away from Bare Minerals, it has an ingredient called bismuth oxychloride which is a lead by-product and has been shown to have cancerous effects**
Bismuth is the by-product of lead and copper refining, as well as other metals to a smaller degree. Bismuth occurs very rarely in nature. It is on the periodic table of elements under the symbol Bi at atomic number 83. It is very heavy and chemically resembles arsenic and antimony. It has a whitish/iridescent hue and has a very high shine property to it. Of all the heavy metals it is the only non-toxic. Bimsuth is a carrier for fuel in nuclear reactors. Bismuth components are used in everything from detection work, to making acrylic fibers, to safety devices in fire detection and extinguishing items, soldering, magnets and medicine as well as cosmetics.
Truly and honestly, there is a difference in quality.
However, M.A.C., though ';expensive makeup'; is not very good.
If you want to head the drugstore makeup route, Physicians Formula is really good and it is high in quality.
It's like expensive makeup, but half the price! Their products are really good, and they have mineral makeup for sensitive skin.
Otherwise, Clinique is really good too! :)
But, it also depends on what makeup you're getting. If you want eyeshadow, for example, and there is one color you love that Revlon has, go ahead an get it.
But for foundation, blush, etc. I would suggest better quality makeup such as Lancome, Clinique, etc.
I hope this helped!

Is Bare Minerals makeup expensive and where can you buy them??
At the malls and places online. Yes they are expensive and I personally did not see how it covered and looked natural like they claim it does.Is Bare Minerals makeup expensive and where can you buy them??
imho, it is way overpriced-- read reviews on all the major mineral makeup companies before you settle for bare minerals:
http://www.associatedcontent.com/article鈥?/a>Is Bare Minerals makeup expensive and where can you buy them??
Bare Minerals is awful! It's full of fillers and bismuth which can make people itch or break out with acne. I cant believe people buy the stuff.
There are loads of brands out there. Everyday minerals is great! It's purer and far cheaper. They do free sample kits from their website
I used Bare Minerals for a while, then I found a ';knock off'; brand on ebay.. MUCH cheaper and just as good. There are several brands on ebay, see which one is right for you!
Bare Minerals is EXPENSIVE and you can buy them at qvc.com, but I would personally use www.everydayminerals.com, I purchase my makeup from them and it is high quality, and much less expensive.
Try Sephora, its usually less-expensive there but still a little pricey! :-)
Bare minerals is a good, but expensive product. I would suggest getting a starters kit for $60. i got my bare minerals at Ulta
Depends on what you would consider expensive. It runs about $60 for the start up set. Here's the link with alot more info
http://www.bareminerals.com/on/demandwar鈥?/a>
Bare Minerals could be considered exensive you could buy it at Sephora.
Bare Minerals makeup is a little pricey but worth it. If you buy it off QVC I have been told that it is cheaper. --- Use Google if you want to find other places to buy it!
Ok for starters, BareMinerals is the best makeup ever! You will love it. You just need the starter kit, and it is not to costly. $29.95 to be exact. Go to bare essentials.com and that will bring you to the web site. You don't have to go crazy and get the whole make up line! I just use the baremineral, (no pun intended) If you have a Sephora near you they sell it also. You will see the infomircial early on Saturdays forsure. Best of luck, and '; tap and swirl ';!!
ebay or something, or sephora.
It didn't work for me, but good luck!
Yes, it is pricey... Foundations go for about $20+ and blushes are about $15.00.
If you have an eBay account, check out Waterlilly Minerals. I buy them and they are A+++ but cheaper! Go check out her feedback and you won't be unhappy.
You can get everything you'll need for less than $20. She offers SAMPLE sizes (1 gram). Her sample size are twice as big as Bare Escentuals ';medium'; sizes, their medium sizes are .57 gram...
check out the link below.
if the prices suit your budget.. the products are really neat..
though there are cheaper brands available in the market
I don't think that the makeup is too expensive. At Ulta or Sephora, they often carry ';starter kits'; with several different products including foundation, blush, mineral veil and several brushes and usually cost about $60. The products last for a really long time. I swear by them! Check the link for the starter kit carried by Ulta.
I think it depends on what you think is expensive.
Have you seen them at the corner drug store?
You can find them at sephora.com.

Ok for starters, BareMinerals is the best makeup ever! You will love it. You just need the starter kit, and it is not to costly. $29.95 to be exact. Go to bare essentials.com and that will bring you to the web site. You don't have to go crazy and get the whole make up line! I just use the baremineral, (no pun intended) If you have a Sephora near you they sell it also. You will see the infomircial early on Saturdays forsure. Best of luck, and '; tap and swirl ';!!
ebay or something, or sephora.
It didn't work for me, but good luck!
Yes, it is pricey... Foundations go for about $20+ and blushes are about $15.00.
If you have an eBay account, check out Waterlilly Minerals. I buy them and they are A+++ but cheaper! Go check out her feedback and you won't be unhappy.
You can get everything you'll need for less than $20. She offers SAMPLE sizes (1 gram). Her sample size are twice as big as Bare Escentuals ';medium'; sizes, their medium sizes are .57 gram...
check out the link below.
if the prices suit your budget.. the products are really neat..
though there are cheaper brands available in the market
I don't think that the makeup is too expensive. At Ulta or Sephora, they often carry ';starter kits'; with several different products including foundation, blush, mineral veil and several brushes and usually cost about $60. The products last for a really long time. I swear by them! Check the link for the starter kit carried by Ulta.
I think it depends on what you think is expensive.
Have you seen them at the corner drug store?
You can find them at sephora.com.
Whats a good makeup product thats not to expensive?
all the good makeup is WAY too expensive and the makeup i buy isn't good enough where can i get some makeup thats not too expensive?Whats a good makeup product thats not to expensive?
I like Loreal....or at Target they have Sonia Kosek (cant spell it)Whats a good makeup product thats not to expensive?
if its up your alley then try online...there are many mineral makeup products that are cheaper than national brands. One is Every day minerals. Way cheaper than Bare minerals. Or Ebay has a lot of mineral makeup brands that are as good quality for way less cost. I have tried a lot of them and only disliked a few. The ones i disliked were only because I like talc. And some are irritated by that so there are brands which exclude that ingredient. It makes for a soft focus effect. But other than that eyeslipsface.com is great and all products are just a buck.
maybelline has some really nice stuff. and you can get it at walgreens or wherever
Mix some paprika with vegetable oil. Smear it on your face. You'll never look so hot!
cover girl is not to bad
KOHLS THEY HAVE FLiRT COSMETiCS. OR YOU CAN BUY NEUTROGENA OR SONiA KAHSUK. MARK AND AVON ARE GOOD AND REALLY CHEAP.

Order with your own Avon rep..they are some new lines getting credit in fashion magazines which they will prove their testimony. At Avon if you are not happy with the product , it is returnable..Glimmerstick eyeliner has lasting power and in my experience better than a 20.00 mac eyeliner. They have a new line called Marc..designed for the youth ,,but excellent concept and wear,,fraction of mac cost. In addition in the regular flyers,they always have promotions and items do go on special throughout the season. Also,they have an outlet mini mag with discounts.

Is covergirl and drugstore brands of makeup ok? do they work just as good as the expensive brands?
in my experience they work just as good except for the fact that they may not last as long. for example if you put on covergirl eyeshadow it may not last as long as mac, but u know what that is totally fine cuz in my experice covergirl lasted as long as i wanted.. sooo.. therefore i dont thikn thres much of a dfifernece. but there could be a difference in the way of the material its made of.. what it contains.. like other brands may! be healthier for your face.. idk tho. lol. just get covergirl its fine! and really, the main thing is the way you put teh makeup on your face, the TECHNIQUE, than what brand you use!!Is covergirl and drugstore brands of makeup ok? do they work just as good as the expensive brands?
covergirl's powder foundation is amazing! it stays on all day!!
and Rimmel makes a liquid foundation that stays on for 16 hours!! It is called lasting effects. I actually think it is better than expensive brands. All other liquid foundation melts and sweats off my face instantly, but the foundation that Rimmel makes actually stays!!
and as for mascara, there are some in drugstores that are just for certain colors of eyes to help bring them out. they are amazing!!
I actually love drugstore makeup better than expensive ones.Is covergirl and drugstore brands of makeup ok? do they work just as good as the expensive brands?
It depends on the product, and your skin. For higher end stuff you really do pay for the name. I use a lot of high end products but there are drugstore brands I like so much better. I love loreal telescopic mascara, it's the best mascara I've used in a while, lash blast is pretty good as well! Revlon color stay foundation is actually comparable to MAC studio fix fluid, or makeup forever HD foundation. The only downside to it is that it doesn't have a pump and more germs get into it. Jane has pretty good eyeshadows, I have a few and I'm liking them, they're very smooth and velvet-like. Hmm... I like wet n wild liquid liners, love the fine brush. There illuminating powders are okay too. Hope this helps :D
Nope. And I will probably be the only person to tell you why exactly. When a brand gets a patent for their product they say how much money, time and active ingredients they have put in. This is how the price gets determined. Now the cheap brands are not tested for clinical results and things like that. Look at an end line product like an investment that won't really harm your skin as much as something that is full with chemicals and goes bad after a month.
the expensive brands usually come in more shades and colors depending on what type of make up, and are of better quality.. in eyeshadows, mascara..etc
but many things are just as good to i think
esp. bronzer, concealer and face powders and eyeliner.
l'oreal is a good brand from drugstores.. its from the same maker as the department store brand lancome. maybelline and revlon are good too
I just use anything really...
I dont see the point in going and buying make up thats really expensive but because it will rub off eventually, like the way it says for example lipgloss; 'it will stay on for hours even when you take a drink on for hours' once you touch it it will be gone so i dont buy it i just buy collection 2000 and maybeline :)
Yea they are fine if they work for your. They have some good stuff you just need to look around. Covergirl has nice blushes and lipglosses, maybellene has a nice mascara (fullnsoft) almay has a nice eyeliner, rimmel has nice lipglosses and lipsticks, and nyx has lovely eyeshadows and lipgloss!!!!
More or less, depends on what you want. Drugstore products don't last very long. I've had a problem with the liners and mascara crumbing and getting all over my face.
I absolutly hate that, and it drives me insane to see other people walking around with black flakes under their eyes!!!
Over all, no. They are nowhere near brands like MAC, Ben Nye, ect. But, that doesn't mean that you should go and spend a ton of money on their products.
If you want something that will stay on a long time, get some eyeshadow primmer. Urban Decay's Primer Potion is REALLY popular right now, you can get it at Macy's.
If you want some shadow that will show up well, and stay on, but you don't want to spean a fortune on it:
http://www.coastalscents.com/cfwebstore/鈥?/a>
Costalscents and some AMAZING palletes.
Their 88 pallete is $20, and has every color you could posibly want.
There's a 28 Piece Eye Shadow Neutral Palette for about the same price.
(it's the same, but the amout of product you get is much larger.)
Their brushes are also amazing, and very cheep. I love that store to bits!
Covergirl and Drugstore brands work fine.
It just depends on how you use them and apply them.
Of course, MAC and Sephora products will always be better than drugstore brands, though.. They're much more pigmented.
But it really depends on you and what you like. :]
Drugstore brands are just as good as the expensive ones.But if you have very senitive skin(like mine),some of the more expensive brands carry hypoallergenic make-up.
They don't stay on as long. My skin is quite oily though so I try to use good brands. And for things like eye shadows and lip glosses most drugstore brands don't have a great selection of colours.
covergirl isn't that great, maybelline and rimmel are way better. and if you have sensitive skin use neutrogena.
the cheap ones usually work ok, but the expensive ones are usually made of better stuff that goes on easier and smoother.
yahh covergirl is reallyyy good! i use there lash blast mascara and no joke... my lashes look sooo long! and its much cheaper than a 40$ tube of mascara... u will save alot of money! hope this helps=)
Cheaper brands work just as well, if not better than the name brands.
some clog pores.

Why is good makeup in Australia so Expensive? ?
I have heard one youtuber mentioning that it is because we have a beauty tax but still that must be a huge tax! In the US they can get cosmetics like Mac or Napoleon Perdis (which is a Australian brand) for really cheap and the AUS$ is not too far away from the US$.Why is good makeup in Australia so Expensive? ?
I know - it's not fair.
I just go on eBay lol.Why is good makeup in Australia so Expensive? ?
Because there isnt enough competition in australia. Take Supermarkets for example (Woolworths, Coles and Aldi). The lack of competitions means that they could negotiate with each other to charge their costumers higher prices in order to earn higher profits for their shareholders.
Othe reasons include employee wages, inflation, transportation costs (espicially now that fuel prices are high and a lot of products used in the beauty industry are also derived from crude oil like packaging).
yeaaa... i know... and that sucks...
that's why i'm not planning on investing on mac EVER.... here.. eyeshadow worths like AU$35 each.... DUH!!!!
and then those brushes.... each costs AU$30-45?????? what the....!?
and that's why i'm investing on lots of cheap makeups like BYS... have you tried that brand??? i just bought 4 eyeshadows (individual) and 1 set plus empty case for the individual eyeshadows for a total AU$18..... that's AWESOME....
but for good products like revlon colorstay eyeliner (which costs $22.95) - my eyes are closed.... i just HAVE to own that piece...
I think Napoleon Perdis is actually manufactured here.. I've no idea so don't think I';m stupid %26gt;%26lt;
I think for MAC though it's because it's a Canadian brand and they've to pay to ship it over seas.
Sephora is actually doing a 75% off clearance sale on Napoleon Perdis. So I'd just stock up and pay the shipping online so they ship it to you. It's a lot cheaper
Everything is so expensive. It's ridiculous
TRY KRYOLAN
KRYOLAN IS NOT THAT Expensive

Don't you hate expensive makeup that does NOT work??
Don't you hate expensive makeup that does not work?
I hate it when you go into a department store and the clerks there try to tell you that drugstore brands do not compare to the department store brands.
WHAT DO YOU THINK???
I think some Loreal products are just as good as Lancome products, if not better.
http://www.johnnytranmakeup.comDon't you hate expensive makeup that does NOT work??
I totally agree! Now, I am a fashionista and I do adore fashion and good makeup along with it but I cannot take it when I go shopping and the sales clerk push me off to the side and literally talk me into buying these $60 cremes that doesn't even work.
I'm right on with you man!Don't you hate expensive makeup that does NOT work??
I hate it, too. My mom bought the CILS design pro dual end mascara from Lancome($35.00). When I applied it made my eye lashes look like spider legs. The lancome person even applied it it still looked the same. I don't even like lancome. They test on animals :(
umm ur avatar is a guy umm what the heck is wrong with this picture?
I hate it too. I've found that my revlon powder works best for me. But then again powder is just about the only product I've found that I can go for the cheapies with.
yea i know what you mean!! for the pageant that i compete in, i usually get makeup from drugstores instead b/c they are so much better than all of that other junk. I have to raise a lot of money and i dont want to spend it all on expensive makeup that doesnt work!
I think just because it has a pretty price tag doesn't mean its better. sometimes cheaper products are better then expensive ones it just depends.
everybody don't like spend money for a bad result
yah i do hate them and i hate it when ppl follow you around the store to tell you something works really good or looks really good and so you buy it just to shut them up and then they look horrible or they suck.
depends of what kind of make up you use it for. All you have to really do is use a good brand mosturize and protect it with face sunscreen that runs for $30 and last you a month. and after that you could basically use any off the counter blush, eyeshadow, or anything like that. As long as you use the good kind to protect your skin. And buy a real good lip protection with spf and then you could apply any off the counter gloss you want. It all about what is under your make-up.
I think some of the more expensive brands are way better than drugstore makeup. They are finely milled, and have a richer pigment density. I go for some cheaper mascaras, but all my color products are more high end b/c I find they work better for me. Plus, they have less cheap junky fillers in them.

Do I need expensive makeup?
I now have a skincare routine and wonder if i need to really go to high end cosmetics. Also. I see all the beauty videos and all the looks are dramatic. How do I get a complete everyday look? i'm not shy and love color, but want to look great not clownish. - MarkDo I need expensive makeup?
For everyday: work, errands, etc.
1] shape and fill in brows. Recommend you get professional shaping first.
2] curl and mascara lashes
3] a little blush or tinted moisturizer
4] lip color
5] earrings! I know they are not makeup, but they help your face look 'finished'.
6] concealer -
a] dab on a bit direct over red area
b] blend edges, not middle
c] gently brush translucent powder over area to set it
I have never used anything but drugstore makeup/skin care, and have great skin. [ Cover Girl, Maybelline, L'oreal, Revlon,
Aveeno, Olay, Neutrogena, Clearasil ]
These are the BASICS - get good at them, then you can branch out to:
a] liners - thin line along lashlines only! Start with a crayon pencil, like Cover girl or Physician's formula
b] shadows - a color that contrasts with your, but also complements [ not matches! ] your outfit.
Ex: if you have light blue eyes, wear greens; grays; aqua, smoke, teal, or navy blues; browns; or purples.Do I need expensive makeup?
I really love Mary Kay - the products are inexpensive (I used Clinique before MK) and for 5 years I am addicted to Mary Kay. Their colors are beautiful %26amp; they do not test on animals :-))
Make up and Colors:
You can go to www.marykay.com for a free virtual make over - upload your picture and play with makeup. Its Great! Suggestions for a natural look depends on your skin tone, etc. For Ivory/ Beige Skin you can use: Tawny lipstick %26amp; Starry Gloss; eyes: vanilla eyecicle with a hazelnut midtone and bronze eyeliner and black mascara (a must!) blush you can use a bronzer or Cinnamon Stick cheek Color.
Bronze Skin: eyes: Silky Caramel %26amp; Chocolate kiss with Deep Brown Eyeliner and Mascara; lips: Rich cocoa lipstick and beach bronze lip gloss; for the cheeks: bronzer or Bold berry cheek color.
You can buy products from Mary Kay consultants or from www.touchofpinkcosmetics.com - I like touch of pink because its 50% off or more and they don't charge tax (if you live in IL, you pay taxes) and there is free shipping on orders over $100.
Skincare:
I use the TimeWise Skincare line which has a 3-in-1 cleanser, day solution, night solution and moisturizer (it comes for normal-dry skin or combination to oily). I also use a blemish control toner to prevent any breakouts.
I hope this helps! Good Luck
you dont need overly expensize makeup use covergirl or avon or somthing like that. use black eyeliner on the bottom of your eyes %26amp; use mascara %26amp; then for eye shadow use a pink or purple or brown. if u dont want it to look dramatic then dont put it up to your eyebrow stay around the crease of your eye. hope i helped
If your skin is sensative, you might want to spend a little more on your foundations and stuff, just to make sure it won't clog your pores or irritate your skin. But eye makeup is as simple as picking out colors you like. I have everything from MAC, Sephora, and Benefit, to N.Y.C and Sally Girl... Try several kinds. You'll find a brand that suits you.
Are you a guy? Jw, because of your avatar. Ahaha.
I use Clinique. Its not very high end, but its high quality and is great for all skin types. If you want more information about high end makeup,

For everyday: work, errands, etc.
1] shape and fill in brows. Recommend you get professional shaping first.
2] curl and mascara lashes
3] a little blush or tinted moisturizer
4] lip color
5] earrings! I know they are not makeup, but they help your face look 'finished'.
6] concealer -
a] dab on a bit direct over red area
b] blend edges, not middle
c] gently brush translucent powder over area to set it
I have never used anything but drugstore makeup/skin care, and have great skin. [ Cover Girl, Maybelline, L'oreal, Revlon,
Aveeno, Olay, Neutrogena, Clearasil ]
These are the BASICS - get good at them, then you can branch out to:
a] liners - thin line along lashlines only! Start with a crayon pencil, like Cover girl or Physician's formula
b] shadows - a color that contrasts with your, but also complements [ not matches! ] your outfit.
Ex: if you have light blue eyes, wear greens; grays; aqua, smoke, teal, or navy blues; browns; or purples.Do I need expensive makeup?
I really love Mary Kay - the products are inexpensive (I used Clinique before MK) and for 5 years I am addicted to Mary Kay. Their colors are beautiful %26amp; they do not test on animals :-))
Make up and Colors:
You can go to www.marykay.com for a free virtual make over - upload your picture and play with makeup. Its Great! Suggestions for a natural look depends on your skin tone, etc. For Ivory/ Beige Skin you can use: Tawny lipstick %26amp; Starry Gloss; eyes: vanilla eyecicle with a hazelnut midtone and bronze eyeliner and black mascara (a must!) blush you can use a bronzer or Cinnamon Stick cheek Color.
Bronze Skin: eyes: Silky Caramel %26amp; Chocolate kiss with Deep Brown Eyeliner and Mascara; lips: Rich cocoa lipstick and beach bronze lip gloss; for the cheeks: bronzer or Bold berry cheek color.
You can buy products from Mary Kay consultants or from www.touchofpinkcosmetics.com - I like touch of pink because its 50% off or more and they don't charge tax (if you live in IL, you pay taxes) and there is free shipping on orders over $100.
Skincare:
I use the TimeWise Skincare line which has a 3-in-1 cleanser, day solution, night solution and moisturizer (it comes for normal-dry skin or combination to oily). I also use a blemish control toner to prevent any breakouts.
I hope this helps! Good Luck

Less expensive mineral makeup that works with acne
I was wondering if I could find a good mineral foundation or powder just at the drugstore. I don't have the money for bare minerals. I also have a few pimples here and there and some acne scars which product is best for coverage and not clogging pores? Less expensive mineral makeup that works with acne
Neutrogena has a lot I love them. I had bad acne and the neutrogena loose mineral powder is what my dermatologist told me to use. Its cheap too and they should sell it at all drug stores. Less expensive mineral makeup that works with acne
http://www.physiciansformula.com/staticpage/mineralwear.html
I have the same exact problems and I use this brand on of powder, foundation and blush and it works great! Just like any other mineral makeup, it's more pricey than regular but usually the powder is $12.00, the foundation is about the same and the blush is like $6.00. It lasts at least 3 months too, that's what I love about it! You can find them at any CVS, Walgreens or DrugMart. And they have sales a lot of times too, like buy one powder and get a free blush, which is what I usually do. Good luck!
loreal makes a great mineral makeup. mineral makeup is great if you have acne prone skin.
i agree with the first answerer

Expensive makeup?
I don't normally buy high end makeup but i was really happy with estee lauder because it matched my skin exactly and was light-weight. i tried ever drugstore brand and it was heavy and never matched. some of my friends think it's insane to spend 27-32$ on just foundation alone but my skin is extremely hard to match! i don't think i'm being a makeup snob because i think if it's going on your face for the whole day it should be really good because bad foundation can make your face worse and waste your money...
so i'm just wondering if anyone else feels that you can wear expensive foundation without being a makeup snob? do you think dept. store makeup is worth the price.Expensive makeup?
It's fine. Pick what you like and let your friends get what they like. Everyone's different and not one makeup is for everyone. Tell your friends not to worry about what you buy. It's your skin and your money.
I love Estee Lauder, by the way.Expensive makeup?
Mac makeup and stephora is pretty expensive Report Abuse
Nah, it's totally worth it. Foundation is an important makeup item as far as I'm concerned, and if you don't wear lot of makeup overall it's even more important that your skin look nice.
I coincidentally just spent 30 dollars on a great foundation.
It doesn't make you a snob!
My skin is really pale so it's hard to find a foundation that matches.
At first I was like ';30$?!';,
but now I'm so happy with it.
I don't think its anyones business..ya know? like, with foundation you need something that matches perfectly, and is good for your skin, hard to find with drugstore makeup. personally everything i use is department store quality, not drugstore, but i dont think thats snobby, its my personal preferance. if i felt that drugstores offered the same quality, i would shop there, but ya know what? i care about what i put on my face, or why wear anything at all. nothing but the best i say! =)
i like buying high end makeup even though it is expensive. to me it depends on the quality of the makeup not the cost. i would rather buy expensive quality makeup rather than crappy cheap drugstore makeup.
If you are over 18, then why do you care what your friends think. It is your money, you earned and you can spend it however you want. Makeup snob? It sounds to me like they are jealous. An adult wouldn't worry about how much their friends spend on makeup.
I spend about $40 on foundation, $20 on lip gloss and $40 on bronzer. My makeup stays on all day and my face never breaks out.
Really though, your friends are just jealous. Guaranteed, they would spend the money if they thought they could aford it.

Good skin or expensive makeup?
ladies...would you rather have really good skin or be able to get the best/expensive makeup for free...?Good skin or expensive makeup?
Really good skin. Not to brag- but I've been blessed with clear skin so I rarely ever wear makeup.Good skin or expensive makeup?
no doubt, GOOD SKIN!!!!
Good skin. I used to get the best makeup in the world free. I was a makeup artist for fashion shows. The best makeup in the world can't smooth wrinkles, you can cover a ';spot';; but, a bump is still there.
I would rather have really good skin. Why...because we are all going to age, and we will wish our skin looked ';younger';.
That depends. Will I have good skin that will age to wrinkled good skin? Because in that case, pass me the Shiseido.
No contest... I would rather have really good skin... because when you have really good skin you do not need any makeup, but if you have really bad skin, no amount of makeup can cover it all.
I happen to have good skin and get compliments quite a bit.... So I dont use any makeup except lipstick and gloss.
Good skin.
Good skin... duh, the best expensive makeup will not hide bad skin
Really good skin, because its most probable that if you have good skin you wont need that much make up.
i would prefere to have naturally good skin
make up sux....i dont use it
in fact it turns skin to crap so you have to use more
Was this a trick question.....?
really good skin i dont need make up to make me feel pretty.. go natural
definatly good skin!! With a nice complection you don't need a whole lot of expensive makeup!!
Good skin... then you don't need to wear make up.....
Have good skin.
great skin...flawless without all the garbage
Good skin. If I had good skin, I would need zero makeup :)

Is the most expensive makeup brands like Lancome, Estee Lauder, and Clinique really better than the drug store
brands or is that just in our heads??Is the most expensive makeup brands like Lancome, Estee Lauder, and Clinique really better than the drug store
some of it (eye liner, powder, liquid foundation) i've found are better than the general drug store stuff. It's got a better feel to it, covers better, and doesn't create skin problems. Things like mascara, I actually like the cheaper stuff (maybelline).
The biggest thing about more expensive brands is that it doesnt contain ';filler'; (stuff thats there just to take up space to make the bottle seem more full).Is the most expensive makeup brands like Lancome, Estee Lauder, and Clinique really better than the drug store
Yes! They use finer quality ingredients and the colour pigments they use in eyeshadows and lipsticks are better.
Obviuously most brands you are paying for the ';name'; as well, but most of the more expensive brands are far better quality.
They are better than what you can buy from the drug store, but it is not worth it until you are much older and have been wearing the same colors for years. The quality goes up quite a bit as the price does, but if you arent 100% sure what looks best on you yet, its best not to try and buy the expensive brands because the drug store ones arent bad at all.
The colors dont really chage that much, but with the price you are buying more color and less filler. The reason why much older women dont look good in cover girl and almay is because there is a lot of glitter and other fillers in their makeup, but when you get expensive makeup it has little to none unless you buy the shiny ones. The gittler they have is actual bits of glitter, not something that is mixed into a powder. Thats why younger girls look really good with cheap makeup.
yes it is. its not way better but it is a little better because the use special kinda of organic ingrideints to make it better!
I think some drug store brands work just as well, but in my opinion, the best is mac
n our heads
From years of trial and error across a wide range of brands....(some more expensive, some less expensive).
I prefer Clinique for sunscreen, powder (compact), and moisturizer. This brand is the only one I've found that doesn't irritate my skin (it's very sensitive).
Lancome for concealer and foundation. The colors match me the best, and the makeup blends well.
Every other type of make-up I use a variety of brands depending on what I see.
Rule of thumb (as with anything) you get what you pay for....
not always....sometimes, drug store brands are just as good...but for coverage and lasting effects, you would do better to buy higher quality and priced products....foundations and powders would be the most important, as they are made with finer ingredients and stay on the skin longer and usually have spf and retinols built in which means they are working for you as well as making you look better.....i find also, that most eye shadows go on better, stay on longer and have better color quality if they are from Lancome and Mac, they just have more pigments...so if you are worried about makeup lasting and looking very professional, buy the better products, otherwise stay in the drug store brands.
You get what you pay for.
Yes. they definitely differ. But again it doesn't mean that all of those brands would suit you. Try buying just one product from one brand to another to see whether it's for you.
yes
no...read the ingrediants on the expensive brands then the store brand if they are the same than the store brand than buy the store brand!!! =)
i have some almay now that i am using and i really think it is as good as the clinique i was using last year
If the truth was known by the general public, some of the cheaper brands are actually made by the top companies, but marketed as generic. That way, they get buyers from both ends of the spectrum: those who can afford the expensive brands and those who have to buy the lower-priced items. So don't be afraid of the lower priced make-up, it may be the exact same brand that poor little Paris uses!
Yes, better quality. Color matching. But you dont need to buy the whole line. Just a good foundation, lipstick, eye shadow and blush.
In all honesty i think all 'popular' make up is kind of not ok ....and i really see no real difference between the ones you buy at the drug stores and the more expensive ones ...however i do see a Huge difference between all of those and organic make up.
Unlike the non organicmake up,the organic make up does not help you get more wrinkles and does not poison your skin with over 150 'toxic' susbances.
they are better!!!
I can definitely tell a difference. I use both store brands and the more expensive kinds....the expensive kinds last longer and don't seem so oily. Plus the more expensive brands will let you test their products before you buy them and make sure the foundations/powders/etc. match your skin before you leave the store. They might cost a little more than say Cover Girl, but at least you don't have orange colored skin.
It depends on how it will works for you girls, you know what?.... when a girl asked me something, which is more effective??? these brands or brands in the drugstore???, I did tell her, i prefer to the drugstore, because it was prescribed by the doctors and if im not mistaken, it is much more cheaper than those.... but it really depends on how would you like the product...microsoft

Where is the best place to get good makeup that is not very expensive?
HERE ARE SOME GREAT SUGGESTIONS:
I consider myself to be great at shopping for and applying makeup. My makeup always looks great and I've gotten many compliments. What many people don't know is that I get all of it at GREAT prices.
Here are some of my tried and true suggestions:
www.eyeslipsface.com (everything's a dollar!! and it works great!)
www.avon.com (very high quality and constantly having sales)
Wet N' Wild cosmetics--available at Walmart, Target, K-mart, Shopko
NYC (New York Color)--also available at Walmart, Target, K-mart and Shopko.
Also, try www.walgreens.com. They have a brand called Tropez. It's great!
Good luck.Where is the best place to get good makeup that is not very expensive?
I agree with the ladies here. You have to either go to Sephora or Ulta. it's not cheap but you will be able to test items and get information from the consultants there. Once you know what you want then you can go to ebay and look up exactly what you need!!Where is the best place to get good makeup that is not very expensive?
Well...you could look on ebay. Just go to Sephora, it's worth the investment.
Believe it or not, Maybelline Cosmetics, sold at Target and most drugstores nationwide, works just as well as most of the expensive brands I have tried. Target has a very wide selection of different brands of makeup, and usually have most colors in stock. If you are african american, target also has a brand called Black Radiance, carrying foundation, concealers, and almost all types of makeup in colors suitable for darker skintones.
www.youravon.com/aalkifi
avon has the best makeup ever and body care and cheap prices
you should check it out and see for your self!!!!
Just like others I recommend Saphora for a variety of products and prices (higher end); however, if your definition of good makeup is not necessarily a high end makeup brand but a good quality and inexpensive brand I really suggest Loreal. Loreal is made by Lancome, which is a well known brand. I have used their mascara, lip gloss, and eye shadow and am very pleased with the quality.
I have to also add that I'm a sucker for designer brands from makeup to clothes, shoes, purses, etc. but in all honesty I am much happier with Loreal's Panoramic Curl $7 mascara than my YSL $30 that got from Nordstrom.
In department store brands I also recommend MAC, they're not cheap but still less expensive than some other brands. I don't like their Lipstick as it makes my lips dry. Clinique is another brand, but their colors are not as exciting as MAC's.
Good Makeup as in High End? You can try Ebay, or search the web~ Here's my friends store she sells makeup that is high end brands at a good price www.shopbearhugz.com Or check QVC they have some good deals on kits.

I don't think the two are compatible but, then expensive is a relative term.
I have paid 30$ for mascara that is as effective as Maybelline's $4 mascara. Conversely, any product that covers your skin should be purchased according to the ingredients of the product and its effect on the vulnerable areas of your face.
Creams are better than lotions, thus more expensive but also longer lasting. Lotions contain alcohol, which is necessary to keep the lotion fluid but harsh on delicate skin.
Take care of your skin, spend what you must, but take care of your skin. It will tell all about you as you age. Skimp on nylons or manicures or lipstick or hair products but don't skimp on products for your skin. You will never regret themoney you spend on facial products.
well call me cheap but i go to wallgreens cause they have cheap makeup [$$wise] but it is really good quality..
I like it

Has anyone found an inexpensive makeup foundation that works as well as more expensive brands?
Avon. Im a beauty advisor and I work with all types of makeup, but I would have to say Avon is one of the best, even better than most of the expensive ones.Has anyone found an inexpensive makeup foundation that works as well as more expensive brands?
I really like Maybelline's new line, Pure Makeup. It's $5 a tube and is mostly water, so it blends really well.Has anyone found an inexpensive makeup foundation that works as well as more expensive brands?
cover girl aqua smooth. costs about $7.50
It's more about the technique than the brand. I use Maybelline and get tons of compliments on my skin because I apply just a little bit with a damp sponge and blend it well to get a sheer porcelain effect.
Do I have news for you? Yep, Everyday Minerals at everydayminerals.com is the best mineral foundation there is. It is not even 1/5 of the price of Bare Escentuals or other mineral foundations. The performance is great and the minerals are so pure and have a healing effect. Forget about Chanel and Estee Lauder and Lancome and..., they cannot hold a candle to EM.
Clinique, works GREAT!!!
avon perfect wear! its great
Avon!!!
I like Mary Kay foundation. But I think the key to a smooth application is a GOOD foundation brush. Try SmashBox. it's $32 but last forever. And you can ALWAYS return it if something happens.
Avon - mousse foundation works perfectly and costs 8 bucks.
Try making youre own--
mix a small amount of loose face powder (found at the dollar store- $1.00) with some noxema cream or the generic version of noxema face cream (dollar store-$1.00). That's $2.00. It's also great for youre skin!
Cover Girl
I use Maybelline Age Rewind. I believe it is about $7 US.. I'm not sure though. The name may scare you but I';m only 18 and I swear by this. It goes on smooth, its lightweight and provides awesome coverage. And remember just because its more expensive doesn't mean its better. Half of high-end make up brands are made in the same plant as lesser ones.

How much do you spend on expensive makeup like chanel,dior mac clinique a month?
Is it hundreds and how do you get through all of it in a month?How much do you spend on expensive makeup like chanel,dior mac clinique a month?
Well i have to say i am a clinique and mac fan! clinique for their foundation, which lasts all day! and mac for the eye make up mainly eyeshadow. that's not to say i dont have a few Dior eye-shadows i think its three, but thing is i try to buy colours in a pack that has only yellows, or greens, or with browns or for blues, and lastly one with smoky. This means that when it comes to mac costing me a fortune, its not that expensive because it lasts me about 6 months, clinique i think is where most of my money goes to with about 拢50-拢60 pounds a month on foundation, blusher, concealer e.t.c i wish i had a choice, but honestly i dont.
i am black African so quite dark, and im a the stage in my life when pimples and spots are my new constant companion and with clinique being the only one that has the right shad, i have to spend..How much do you spend on expensive makeup like chanel,dior mac clinique a month?
first off, i dont think you have to wear chanel to look fierce with your makeup.
the most expensive thing i use is my foundation - which is fifteen bucks per - not extremely horrible, but it still bothers me when i buy it.
i still have makeup i had back before christmas. =P
but i do have to buy black stick liner every month or so - which is like eight bucks for the good stuff.
so, on average, i spend twenty bucks per month on the basics - but that doesnt count the times when i go to the store and pic up random shades of eyeshadow. =P
I've spent money on a Bare Minerals starter kit, and I used to use some Clinique. But I am cheap, and that is why I love mark. Affordable products that compare to department store cosmetics. All of their makeup starts at just $4 and the most expensive item is only $18.
It makes it easy to experiment and have fun, because they are so affordable.

I only have on product I use thats expensive and its Clinique powder.....I buy it once it runs out, so about every 4-6 months and it costs $26.00...which isn't to bad.....everything else I use tends to be drugstore, once I have a steady job thats when I'll purchase more high end makeup.
Never bought any of those brands for makeup - too pricey for moi. Usually buy No.7, Max Factor, Maybelline, Rimmel, 17 - not because of brand, but because the shade/colour is what I want at that time - then if I get fed up with it it's no big deal.
i wear urban decay eyeshadow, bare minerals base (concealer, foundation) NARS blush, and Diorshow eyliner, and too-faced mascara. If i were to buy all of my products at once, its around $500.
Well I'm assuming it is hundreds because i went one , bought 5 things and it was about $120 , but so totally worth it because everything lasts long and high quality
I won't buy expensive stuff cos I can't afford it. I buy Avon and Max factor or Rimmel, and I don't buy a lot cos I don't wear it much.
not a penny. i dont wear make up, unless on special occasions, then its only mascara and lip gloss which i borrow form my sis!
Nothing. I never wear make-up.
to be honest you wal-mart makeup works just as good, if not better.
Didn't you ask this question earlier?
Zilch

Expensive makeup?
Is it really worth the price? (mac,bareminerals, sephora stuff)
Or should I stick with the drugstore? (covergirl, maybeline,revlon)
And if it is worth it, why?Expensive makeup?
It's up to you if it's really ';worth'; it or not. You know how much money you have and what your other priorities are. I think it depends on the type of makeup, but generally speaking, more expensive makeup feels better, if better for your skin, stays on longer, and goes on easier. It usually has more pigments which means you use less, and it lasts longer in the bottle and on your face. here's my break down of worth it/vs not worth it for the expensive stuff
Foundation- expensive (I use Bare Minerals, MAC is good too)
Blush- moderate (I use Bare Minerals and the Body Shop)
Powder- moderate (I use Bare Minerals but translucent drugstore powder can do the job)
Eyeshadow- expensive (I use BM, body Shop, MAC, and Urban Decay primer)
MAC pigments are great for eyeshadow, they last FOREVER, and can be used for other things too like highlighter, blush, lipgloss, etc.
Mascara- drugstore (I use L'oreal telescopic, CG lash exact, and Max Factor Volume Couture)
Lip stick/ gloss- drugstore unless you want something dramatic like a matte red lip with staying power
Eyeliner- everyday use drugstore, I use expensive for special occasions (MAC fluidline, or BM liner shadow)
Brushes- Invest in these, they are great tools! MAC and BM make great brushesExpensive makeup?
Good does not have to be overly expensive.
I use LAminerals and it is formulated better than bare minerals or Loreal and less expensive and more of it in the jar!
Plus...theres No talc or bismuth in it and they add good expensive ingredients that the other dont...so go figure. I guess its becuz the other ';well known'; brands spend major bank on advertising and infomercials and crap like that.
I hate drugstore brands of foundations, never again.
I use Bee-Luscious and I believe it is very much worth the extra money. I don't believe in throwing my money away on cheap fillers. If I am going to buy something, I would rather spend a little more and get my moneys worth.
So my advice is NO do not stick with the drugstore brands.
One side note. Makeup like Bare Minerals, although not considered a drugstore brand, still uses cheap fillers such as bismuth. READ the label and DO NOT waste your money on product that use fillers, especially your foundation, such as talc or bismuth (in any form).
BTW: You was right the first time! Revlon is a cheap drugstore brand.
If you would like to try Bee-Luscious and be as amazed by the results as I. Then just do a Google search for Bee-Luscious Cosmetics.
Good Luck! I hope this helps you in your quest for the perfect makeup!
I like the expensive kind better because they are better for your skin. If it's cheap, the quality might be cheap. But I highly recomend Estee Lauder.
certain brands are more expensive because of what they put in there and overall quality of the product
bareminerals works really well and for fondation i would splurdge and if you wear a certain color of eye shadow everyday i would spurldge as well but if you like to change up your look, maybeline shadows and liners work just as well
I use a mixture of both... I don't buy products according to brands, I buy according to what suits me best %26amp; if its MAC I'll buy it, if it's Covergirl I'll buy that. Don't get sucked into buying according to brands. Buy what suits you - that's the whole idea!!
you should get some of each.....use sephora, mac, bobby brown for when you go out, use covergirl for hanaging out during the day
Mixture of both.
Maybelline is a great brand. They have nice foundation and mascara
For eyeshadow, I go to Mac because their shadows stay on long for me and I like bold colors, which they have a great range of.
Sephora brand makeup usually isn't expensive.
I got sephora brand eyeliner for $4, which is cheaper than Loreal eyeliner. And I actually like the quality of the Sephora one more. I also got some great powder for around $14, and scored on some $4 foundation during after christmas sales! :)
minergirlz u should use mineralgirlz they have afordable prices i use it my mom sells it its the best
Yes, there is a huge difference between the more expensive makeup and the less expensive one, especially when you are using the face powder, concealer or a foundation. Cheap makeup can be really bad for your skin in the long run. You should always go to the professional makeup artist when first starting of with choosing the right shade etc. If you haven't already, I suggest you go to your nearest mall, find anyone working at the Mac,Lancome, Clinic etc counter and ask them to help you which shade works for you best. That way, you can never go wrong with which make up products to buy.
I think, as far as the lipstick, lip gloss and eye shadows are concerned you don't necessarily have to worry about buying the more expensive one.But go talk to your nearest makeup artist and find out what works for you. And remember never sleep with you makeup on,always cleanse your skin and moisturize it before applying any make up for best results. Have fun.
