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!
