Knowing when
to splurge on designer cosmetics or save with drugstore products can help you
better allocate your beauty budget and get the most out of every dollar. So below is the second half of the 2-part series of
4. Lip Gloss
Designer or
Drugstore: Drugstore
This is a
definite bargain purchase, you don’t need the pigment you do from lipstick, and
almost all lip glosses have the same formulas and contain the same ingredient
combination. Go cheap and buy a few different colors.
5. Concealer
and Foundation
Skin-colored
makeup relies on too many factors to declare a winner, especially since you
could potentially find your perfect match and coverage level just about
anywhere though it may require a lot of experimenting. Oh experimenting is
necessary because the worst thing is to commit to a costly foundation and the
color matching is all wrong.
L'Oreal's
Infallible Pro Matte Foundation and LA Girl's HD Pro
Concealer are the ones for me
- come on they are excellent products in a wide range of shades at great
prices, so that's a big save for me.
6. Eyeshadow
and Eyeliners
Designer or
Drugstore: Either
I think a
combination of designer neutral shades and drugstore trendy colors is best –
you get great coverage for everyday looks, but can still spice things up
without committing to a pricey palette.
As for
eyeliners, they perform basically the same as I usually go for the fine-line
pens.
My splurge
here would definitely be my Urban Decay Naked3 palette but in the mix there is Maybelline's
Color Tattoo and L'Oreal's
Colour Riche Eye Shadow which
are steals in comparison.
Oh as for
eyeliner...that may always remain a big savings for me with my Jordana
Fabuliner, an essential of mine for years.
Let me know
down below...When do you splurge or steal the bargain???
