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!

Where can I find this makeup for not too expensive price?

I LOVE makeup %26amp;%26amp; bright colors. I wanted some like bright hot pink eye shadow or bright neon lime green.. I have ran across some but it either wasnt the perfect color or was too expensive or didnt work good. I also am looking for some good black eye shadow. %26amp;%26amp; not the kind that you have to keep re-applying to make it pitch black. Something not too expensive...thanks. %26lt;3Where can I find this makeup for not too expensive price?
MAC and H.I.P have really bold colors that you can choose from. They are made from high intensity pigments so the make up really makes a statement. You can buy these at any department or drugstore and they are at a resonable price.Where can I find this makeup for not too expensive price?
well covergirl has great bright eye shadows that arent very expensive


http://www.covergirl.com/products/product.jsp?productId=eye_enhancers_3_kit_shadows





and for black eye shadow go with m.a.c.


http://www.maccosmetics.com/product/spp.tmpl?CATEGORY_ID=CAT154%26amp;PRODUCT_ID=363


(yeah its a little expensive but its stays on super long and never makes that nasty crease line/they have bright eyeshadows too)





hope this helps :)
MAC Passionate for a hot pink and Carbon for a black. There is a bright green MAC shadow called Lime but it's only a Pro color so you can't get it at a department store counter
FREDFLARE!


http://fredflare.com/customer/product.ph鈥?/a>

fredflare is amazing %26lt;3
MAC - www.maccosmetics.com - $14.50





Lime Crime - www.limecrimemakeup.com - $12
i know this sounds very cheesy but some good places to find lot of different kinds of make-up are places like......


walgreens


cvs


target





hope this helps!

  • 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.

    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.
    MAC is my favorite u have to pay teh price to look nice
    makeup that comes in catalogs is always affordable


    avon- $6-12


    marykay $ 9-20


    jafra $ 9-14


    instore prices may vary for different brands like covergirl, maybelline, and revlon, kmart/ walmart sometimes have makeup sales too.
    Try this website... www.eyeslipsface.com
    actually, NYC color and Wet 'n Wild (both at department stores) are really good products.





    but you can always use magic markers!
    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. One last thing,home delivery is no cost to you..amazing p.s. i am NOT a rep ..p.p.s you can back order your


    sales item from the last campaign if you miss the special . Wow!
    SEPHORA, MAC OR WET %26amp; WILD.
    Rimmel is a fav of mine. not expensive and found at Walmart
    lip gloss is always good

    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.
