It’s easy to feel like you have to use designer brands to do a quality
job, but ‘you get what you pay for’ doesn’t always apply in the
makeup world. To this day, I still opt for many drugstore options because they
perform the same as designer labels (if not better,) and you save a ton of
money in the process. In the past week, I’ve worked with two professional
makeup artists who agree that many high end products aren't worth shelling out the extra dough when given the option.
Mascara: Go Drugstore

Higher end products have the tendency to irritate your eyes, clump up
your lashes, and dry out extremely fast. A designer mascara can easily run you
anywhere from $20 - $50. For me, drugstore mascara is a no brainer.
Foundation: Go Pro
A wise woman builds her house upon a rock, right? Foundation is your rock:
sturdy, reliable, & trusted. If you build your house upon the sand, aka cheap
foundation, you may find yourself disappointed with the color match, coverage, skin
reaction to the formula, and worst of all, you may have wasted your money
because now you have a product you really can’t use. Oh and there’s the possibility
doesn’t actually covering your blemishes, but just looking slapped on. Not
cute!

I will say that lately, drugstore brands have stepped up their game in
the foundation department. Maybelline FitMe and Loreal TrueMatch are helping
consumers save money without losing too much quality. So tell me – have you found an amazing drugstore foundation?
Lipstick is like shampoo. We’d all love to always
use the super expensive shampoos, but most of us know deep down that a bottle of
Herbal Essence will do the trick. Lipstick’s kinda the same way. I love my
drugstore lipsticks almost as much as I love my MACs. Revlon lipsticks are
always extremely impressive. I’m not a fan of Maybelline lipsticks because they are usually all shine and very little pigment.
