Happy tuesday everyone,
Just wanted to share a little list of things I have found to either save money on or to spend a little more in order to get the best result of a product.
Splurge
- Primer– This is the foundation to your whole makeup look, if you have a great primer then your makeup will last all day.
- Foundation– Since your foundation is the first thing you apply and then the rest of you makeup, it’s important to have one that run during the day because all your makeup will be off.
- Finishing Spray– This is my lifesaver and something that I use pretty much everyday. Finishing spray is essentially hairspray for your face and will hold everything in for the day. (This is great for all day events)
- Makeup Brushes– I have found that makeup brushes are like like paint brushes, the better the brush the better the preciseness of the painting. So in that content, think of your face as a canvas and your makeup brushes as your tools to paint a pretty picture, so having higher quality makeup brushes really does matter.
- Eyeshadow– Though you may think you shouldn’t be spending too much on eyeshadow, it’s something you may want to consider because higher end eyeshadows have higher pigmentation so the color will last longer.
Save
- Lipstick– I’ve realized that their are several dupes out there for almost every product and lipstick has become my favorite drugstore product to buy. You can easily find lipsticks that have high pigmentation and are long lasting.
- Setting Powder- This is one of the products that I always apply after I have finished my makeup look to help set it all but any powder works.
- Nail Polish– Honestly, anyone can make a cheap nail polish look good, as long as you add a finishing coat.
- Mascara– My favorite kind of mascara has alway been from the drug store and as much as I try new ones I always come back to my original mascara.
- Eyelashes– False lashes always make the finishing look complete, but you really don’t have to spend much as long as you have a good lash glue, they will stick on all day.
- Lip Balm– Just like the lipstick, their are various of dupes that work just as good as any high end lip balms.
Don’t get me wrong I have tried all makeup products in both high end and drug store but these have been what I have found is worth my buck.
Also one tip that I recommend is always returning a product you didn’t like, even if it’s just a drugstore product (this includes Walgreens, CVS, Walmart, Target, etc.)
As always, thank you for reading
