Remember my previous post about the beauty tips and telling you guys that i will share on what to spend and save on make up?
No further or do i shall start!
Save on Eyeliner,Splurge on Eyeshadow.
Most pencil eyeliners are made of wax, which is not worth $18 when you can get a great pencil eyeliner for $3 from any drugstore. Don't like the way wax won't glide on easily? Try a kohl pencil or a liquid eyeliner. For pencil eyeliner, i use Sephora which only cost $9.
Gel and liquid eyeliners? Maybelline! Get it at Watsons .
I have been trying so many brands but i personally love the liquid eyeliner.
When it comes to eyeshadows, quality is quantity. A great eyeshadow all-time favorite,Dior 5-Colour Shadow Palette
will stay on your eyes all day long, while a cheap, $4 palette will have faded by the time you finish your mid-morning coffee. What's more, quality department counter eyeshadows typically have richer colors.
Sephora eyeshadow palette is enough for me.
Save on both cleansers and moisturizers.
Surprise, surprise! There's no reason to open your wallet wide for quality cleansers and moisturizers. In fact, even the fanciest dermatologists and skincare specialists recommend basic drugstore cleansers and moisturizers to clients. I use Neutrogena's moisturizers . Works well for my facial skin type.
Splurge on foundation AND concealer.
While you can get a decent foundation at your average drugstore, the chances of you finding the perfect shade for your skin color can be hit or miss.Too much money is wasted annually on the wrong shades of foundations and concealers, which is the main reason I say, "Get to the department store and skip the drugstore." Nothing beats the discerning eye of a makeup expert when it comes to finding the right shade and formulation for your skin tone. A makeup expert can take one look at your skin and determine if foundation or a tinted moisturizer best suits you or if you need a lighter or darker shade of concealer.
Sephora does fine. Benefit and revlon were the best for me.
Save on lipstick and lip glosses.
Let's talk lip glosses first, because the gloss trend continues. It seems to be everyone's obsession while years ago lipstick fell to the wayside and still hasn't recovered.
The fact is, lip glosses rarely last, so why spend big bucks on them? Both Revlon and L'Oreal make a great basic lip gloss. That said, you'll find much better color ranges and a less stickiness if you splurge on Nars or Chanel gloss, the beauty editor's favorite.
Me use revlon hehehehe and i dont buy too much lip gloss cause i hate it. bleah!
Save on mascara and on eyelash curlers.
I really don't need to be spending the money I do on mascara. Maybelline New York Great Lash Mascara has gone down forever as the best drugstore buy ever. At just $7USD a tube, it's a good basic standby. L'Oreal and Max Factor also make great drugstore mascaras. Really want to splurge? Try Dior Show Mascara or Estee Lauder or my favorite: Lancome Definicils.
Every magazine touts Shu Uemura ($15USD) as The Eyelash Curler everyone must have in their makeup drawer. So why then, do so many makeup artists stockpile the much cheaper Revlon Extra Curl Eyelash Curlers (about $6USD)? Hmmmmm......
Too bad , my lashes are too long and i dont have to buy these!!! HEHEHEHEHEHHEHE
I KNOW IM BOASTING HAHA
Splurge on blush, bronzers and powders.
While you will consistently find drugstore mascaras, cleansers and moisturizers on your average "Best Beauty Products" lists, you won't find many drugstore blush, bronzer and powders. Why? Luxury powders have been pulverized to such a degree that you can layer and layer without ever looking like a clown. E.L.F will definitely be my choice. Pick a right shade.
Now did you get all these ?????? Im going for a napp now
byee
