The average woman spends thousands of dollars on makeup in her lifetime. The best way to cut costs is to make a budget and decide where you can choose cheaper products and when it is better to splurge a little.
You should invest more money in products that will come in direct contact with your skin, such as foundation and concealer. If you buy a more expensive product, a salesperson will usually be happy to help you find the one that is a perfect match for your skin type. Higher quality foundations usually last longer, and you probably won’t have to use as much, which makes them a better bargain.
Another area where you should spend more money on a high-quality product is cleanser and moisturizer. Since they come in direct contact with your skin, they are worth the investment.
You can save money by switching to inexpensive eyeliner and mascara. With mascara, the shape of the applicator is more important than the mascara itself.
You can also save money on eye shadow and blush by choosing a less expensive brand and making it last longer. Using a primer first will keep your color fresh throughout the day. If you add a couple drops of water to your eye shadow brush before wiping it across the makeup palette, it will be easier to apply and will last longer.
You can also save by buying shampoo and conditioner at a drugstore. Many drugstores make deals with major manufacturers to promote new products. They receive large shipments at low prices, which are then passed on to consumers. You can also use store coupons and rewards programs to save even more.
Choosing the right beauty products can help you look great and save money. Follow these tips to look your best and stay within your budget.
