im 15 and i was just wondering if expensive makeup is really a lot better than cheap drug store makeupIs expensive department store makeup worth the money??
There are equivalents by the same manufactures as expensive products in Drug Stores (as with shampoos and probably more).
Find a Drug Store that has 100% satisfaction guaranteed, ask questions before you buy, and if it's not up to those standards do return/exchange it.
The main difference is often a nicer smell, and the containers look nicer on your bathroom counter. All makeup has come a long way: lots of competition.
Be smart: don't waste your hard earned money unless you are wealthy.Is expensive department store makeup worth the money??
Not really. Many of the expensive lines have lower priced lines in the drug store and there's no difference between the formula's. Lines such as maybelline, Loreal, Revlon, and Cover Girl have excellent products that perform as good as or better then their department store cousins. Speciality lines such as Urban Decay, Sephora and especially MAC are far better than expensive department stores brands like Chanel, Dior, Elizabeth Arden and those other ones that sell plain glycerin and wax moisturizers for up to a hundred dollars.
All cosmetics are made from the same basic group of chemicals, plants, waxes, silicones, etc. What you pay for in department store brands is packaging, promotion, the fancy displays, and the brand name. Don't be led astray by fancy packages and high price points, the drug store stuff is fine. And it's a far more reasonable price.
And the book is ';Don't go to the Cosmetics counter without me'; By Paula Begoun and she has a website, Cosmetics Cop. She's saved me hundreds of dollars over the years! Here's her site comparing various brands of cosmetics: https://www.beautypedia.com/Default.aspx
It depends on the makeup and your personal preference. I grew up using drug store products, but then I started using high end makeup like blush, and eyeshadow and I could never go back to the drug store products. They are fine too, don't get me wrong, but in my opinion, high end stuff like MAC, Benefit, Stila, and Nars, are all worth the money and I have never regretted paying extra.
No, I've found a great alternative to expensive department store brands.
Have you heard of mark.? It is a line designed especially for women ages 15-30. And everything is really high-quality, but affordable ($2-18 for everything).
Also, they have a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
the expensive makeup comes with free goodies, bags, and samples. so it's not really more expensive, especially if u buy during a giveaway event.
idk if it's worth it or not, but i use the shiseido sunscreen moisturizer and it makes my skin flawless (usually it's dry) over the clinique moisturizer.
i've always used expensive mascara samples that come with the product when i buy my skincare. mascara only lasts 3 months, so the samples are plenty.
estee lauder liner is really soft and doesn't tug.
clinique and shiseido have flawless skincare.
my favourite mascara is lancome volumizing.
the only drugstores stuff i've used is bonne bell, it's not as good.
there is definatley a difference between cheaper foundation [covergirl, maybelline, etc] and expensive foundations [mac, etc]. expensive ones last longer and look better
but cheaper ones are great too
however its totally your choice, if you would rather spend less on makeup stick with the cheaper ones
but if you dont mind the expense you should definitley try the mac products and other expensive makeups
No way!!!! I use lots of regular products from the average stores and they work just as good or better. OR I also use avon and mark makeup. You also get your money's worth. You can buy a tube of foundation for 100 bucks with that kind of money buy yourself a good pair of jeans instead.
it's a huge difference I use Mac and notice it's stays on longer the foundation dosnt turn your face that weird tint and come off when you put your face on something, it last longer, and I think it just looks better.
Omg, there is such a big difference, expensive make-up at sephora lasts longer, is higher quality, and looks better. I like to spend more money on good make-up then less money on bad ones =)
