7 Makeup Products You Don't Need to Spend a Load of Money on ... or do You?

@Simone! It's like 20$ in my country

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 really like bb cream from maybelline and New York color and what is even better is Mary Kay's cc cream because it gives you a lot of coverage and makes your skin glow, while correcting the colors of your face.

I splurge on primers, concealer, eyebrow pencils, highlighters & bronzers.

GARNIER BB CREAM WORKS THE BEST!

I splurge on a good make up primer, foundation, eye shadow, matte bronzer, and long staying lipstick like stila. I wear a lot of reds. I hate when my lipstick fades before work. I love stila long lasting in beso I will use it on my wedding day.

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.

Essie is like 8$ a bottle wet and wild/ sinful colors are $1-$2

Splurge on skincare, skimp on mascara.

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.
