A good moisturiser does the job and if you can conduct your own even better!

I dont agree with the lipstick part. Ive tried both High end and drugstore lipstick, and the difference here is that High end lipsticks last longer Than drugstore ones.

Personally I save up for my make-up and try to spoil myself! It's great to not only look good, but feel good (:

I splurge when I can and when I find a product I think is worth it. Like my smashbox cosmetics primer and my katvond eyeshadows and liquid lipsticks. Nyx has an amazing liquid liner, it's dark and waterproof stays on all day, perfect for my eyes that water very easily. As far as nail polish- sinful colors $2 and I love them. Most everything else I buy is from the drugstore or target. Oh and I love e.l.f. brushes and concealer.

So professional and a very helpful article! 😊

I'm sorry, but an expensive Iipstick works well. It lasts longer than a cheaper brand. With regards to moisturizers, It's best to ask your dermatologists or beautician.

I tried so many concealers, foundations , powders and lipsticks from the drug store brands but just don't work on my skin, so I splurge on the base and TRYING to skimp on eyeshadows, liners and mascara.

This is very subjective. For me, I skimp on moisturizer. Mine is a 9$ one from the body shop or sometimes plain sweet almond oil (10$ for a big bottle). I have extremely sensitive skin. I think eyeshadows, lipsticks and eyeliners should be splurged on. Eyeshadows, once you get really into makeup, going from makeup forever to wet n wild will make you want to cry. I spend less than a minute on blending with mufe, whereas wet n wild will take more work, more packing on, more time. Lipsticks I'm allergic to a lot of drugstore lipsticks so I stick to 4 brands, all at sephora. But they are not over 25$ each. Liner I stick to kat von d or tarte. I don't have to reapply, which really is a pain, and it lasts all say without flaking, isn't going to smudge, and is easy to take off at the end of the day. Nail polish for me is iffy. I love formula x, it lasts easily two weeks without a top coat and in deals (like their mini twenty two pack for 44$) are so worth it. I did my nails at the beginning of August, like the 3 or 4, and it's only got a couple chips on the end of my nails. I just have to touch up the bottom where growth has happened, which creating a subtle gradient is very easy here, and it's like I just got them done. I can't do that with essie polish that lasts a day and then chips.

I personally spurge on moisturizer and foundation. For me a good base is worth the money. I tend to save on eyeshadow, lip products and eye products like mascara or eyeliner. I don't need a lip plumper I have naturally plumpish lips not dramatically full like kylie j. This is how I spend my money. To each their own.

GARNIER BB CREAM WORKS THE BEST!
