Is there REALLY a difference between cheap makeup verses the expensive kind?

Is there reall a difference between lets say...Revlon and Elizabeth Arden? What do you think is the best cheap make up? Whats the best expensive kind?Is there REALLY a difference between cheap makeup verses the expensive kind?
With some types of makeup, you get what you pay for, whereas with other the cheaper ones are just as good. With expensive makeup you might be paying for the designer label (Dior doesn't come cheap), the hot celebrity advertising it, or the high-tech ingredients in it.





I would advise that you spend a little extra on mascaras (cheap mascaras are horribly clumpy), foundation and liquid concealer.





Lipgloss, eyeliner, lipliner and eyeshadows tend to have the same ingredients and be about the same quality.





hope this helps! take care xIs there REALLY a difference between cheap makeup verses the expensive kind?
THERE IS A DIFFERENCE IN THEM...... THE PRICE.... THAT IS ALL I CAN THINK OF CAUSE I DO NOT WEAR MAKEUP.
first its the price then the quality of the product. best affordable make up is loreal expensive theres too many..estee lauder, arden,chanel,dior etc..
Yes, there is a difference. The cheap makeup can irritate some peoples skin if they have sensitive skin. Also the expensive makeup is better for your skin and doesnt come off as easily as cheap makeup. The best cheap makeup would be any in the Target aisles. And the best expensive one, I would say, is Dior or Biotherm.
to me- there is a difference between covergirl and mac--- mac lasts soo much longer,especially here in FL with the humidity and heat.
The difference is in the quality of the product. Compare Payless shoes to Nine West: leather vs. pleather. The more expensive makeup products are richer in pigment %26amp; use higher quality ingredients. As a professional makeup artist, I use a variety of products from a variety of brands--everything from Christian Dior to Wet 'n' Wild.
revlon is good too.. i think elzabeth arden has better packaging.
They probably needlessly experiment more on helpless animals with the expensive variety.
I simply love Revlon..I would never try something cheap...
all makeup is made basically in the same factory the difference is certain ingredients/fragrances used. You can even get make up made with your own label on it. The differences in expensive and cheap make up are very slight. They are all made the same way- except reg. m/u compared to sensitive skin m/u as an example. Hope this helps.
Sometimes the only difference is packaging. If you read the ingredients on the label of an expensive brand and compare it to the least expensive you'll see that the ingredients are basically the same. One more thing some companies have more than one brand. For example Loreal is the inexpensive equivalent of Lancome. Loreal mascara can sell for(lets say) $4.00 while Lancome's goes for over $20.00 and they are the same company.


Each makeup line expensive or not has very good and not so good products.
You get what you pay for, In the cheaper makeup I find Cover Girl a great choice.
well I dont know what to tell you about cheap makeup cause i dont use cheap makeup but I do like avada and stuff like that.
i buy cheap makeup all the way, i like NYC but i have an awesome lipgloss from clinique and also some eyshadow from them. so i dont really find too much of a difference. i think it is a great question though.
I prefer Christian Dior for my foundation and powder however my eye make up is by L'oreal and my lipsticks or gloss is by Mac. I look gorgeous all the time!
