Why is makeup so expensive??? im at college i need cheaper makeup. HELP!!!?

cheaper make-up is low quality make-up with lots of fillers. you also have to buy cheaper make-up more often, because it doesn't last as long as high quality brands, so you actually spend much more in the long run. my 25.00 bare minerals foundation lasts me about one year, the 12.00 liners %26amp; eye shadows last several years. it pays to invest in good quality brands. hint to your parents : x-mas present !Why is makeup so expensive??? im at college i need cheaper makeup. HELP!!!?
When you're really, really healthy you'll notice your skin glows and you need less makeup. Experiment with using less and see how public reaction goes. (Some guys hate makeup.)Why is makeup so expensive??? im at college i need cheaper makeup. HELP!!!?
Just exactly how much are you willing to pay for make up? The good stuff such as cover girl, mabeline, and revlon are going to be pricey. ($8-15 for foundation, $5-10 for lipstick, etc)





But if you want the cheaper stuff, go to the dollar store. ($1-3.50 for cheap make up there)





Cheers
If your looking to buy eyeshadow, I can tell you from experience that you don't need to buy the upper ends for this. Try WnW or NYX. They have great eye shadows for cheap price! I don't know about foundation because I don't wear it. As for lip stick/gloss, the same rule applies. If you know which brand to buy, then they work just as well as the higher ends.
I disagree. You don't need to spend a lot to get good makeup...


It's unclear what country your in:





In america, WET AND WILD isn't too good.


But Maybelline is excellent, $7 for mascara, which lasts for 6 months. Try unstoppable lashes, that's really good.





If you haven't go too much money, then do this:


Buy 1 eye gloss in a peachy shade


Buy 1 regular eyeliner


Buy 1 coloured eyeliner


Buy 2 different coloured lip stick's/gloss


Buy 1 foundation if you need it.





Put these in a list of priority. Then buy 1 a week/month. You might not actually need mascara/eyeliner so that will save money.





Basically, if you combine these things you have all different looks.


Going to a class: Eyegloss and Lipgloss


Going out on a date: Coloured Eyeliner LipGloss


Going out with friends: The other eyeliner and Lipgloss





See wasn't that simple! All different looks :P
Magic markers..


Just don't use perm. markers..
Hey! not all make ups are expensive. In fact, there are a lot of good make up brands that are not as much expensive as the other brands.





You can try these brands:





Maybelline


Bonne Bell


Rimmel London


etc.=)





P.S. From what country are you? Because if we live in the same country, I can recommend you more cheap yet nice make up brands!
try www.eyeslipsface.com all the makeup and makeup tools are $1.00. I personally think they have good quality makeup.


It's my fav hope that helps
Try going to Publix or CVS for Covergirl stuff and N.Y.C.
try the wet and wild line it has much improved over the past couple of years.and the price might be in your budget
Buy you makeup at the Pharmacy. It is not expensive .
