Do you think that expensive make up is better quality than cheap?

do you think that expensive brands like mac, napoleon, estee lauder etc are better quality than cheap brands like mabelline, max factor, cover girl etc?Do you think that expensive make up is better quality than cheap?
As far as stuff u put on your face like foundation, YES. Much better. I suggest Lancome. Eyshadows-I recommend Estee Lauder and Urban Decay (sephora) Eyeliner Revlon is just as good as any.Do you think that expensive make up is better quality than cheap?
it all depends on your skin itself,,,skin is sensitive and at times it reacts to a different product,,,only way to find out is to try for yourself.
No, I do not think the more expensive brands are any better. You have to find the makeup that works best on your face. I would also suggest that you look at the ingredients that are in different makeups. I have listed some sites under resources. I use Affordable Mineral makeup and my daughters use Mineral Girlz. You are going to be shocked to see what some of the makeups contain. Many of them clog your pores, dry out your skin, and cause breakouts. The many of the expensive ones and the cheap ones are really not good for your skin.
I don't see anything wrong with Mabelline or Cover Girl they are pretty good actually.
yes, but there are certain cheap brands that are good.


revlon colorstay-eyeliner


milani for their stuff in general


rimmel for their stuff in general


but yes, high end cosmetics, such as those found in sephora are very good quality, but there are some that are a ripoff. if you want to purchase expensive makeup products, google them and find reviews.
Probably ! Signature Club A Jet Tech Wet Set and Serious Skin Care's Bella Rosa, both sold on HSN are great. However, I have been satisfied with L'Oreal's True Match or Maybelline's Dream Matte. I say whatever works best for you should be the determining factor, in spite of the price. Good luck !
yes definately... i used to figure that makeup was makeup and it didnt really matter what is was as long as it matched... i used loreal and max factor and stuff.... but my acne started getting realllly bad..





and then i went to sephora and got a complete makeover and bought a whole new set of makeup and thats all i use now... and my face has completely cleared up...





so even if you dont have acne... this just goes to show that there is something of much less quality in cheaper brands. and its just better for your face to use better quality [more expensive] brands.





....from experience and from talking to people ive learned that mac is just an all-around bad brand.... its good for eyeshadows but notttt for coverup.





i use stila concealer and foundation and bare minerals bronzer...





good luck :]
rimmel, maybelline, and max factor are all affordable but not a bad quality... if you're buying products you're not going to use a lot, like an eyeshadow to coordinate with a top or something, there's no sense in paying out the *** for something from mac or sephora...





i had a clinique eyeshadow in a light pink-ish shade that a friend gave me, and i had a similar shade from covergirl that showed up a little more vibrant and lasted just as long
yea probly but idk
well I just use nyc, and all that stuff is a dollar





works for me, I dont need to spend $20 on eyeliner
Mary Kay is the best, but I bought some Cover Girl today (emergency purchase) and love it. I tried Estee Lauder once and couldn't get it to stay on - just kept sliding down my face!!
I think the extra money is worth the extra quality you get from a brand like MAC or Bobbi Brown. Cheap makeup causes problems like breakouts.
Naaaa it's just publicity tricks... i have always used cover girl and my sister expends a lot in fancy makeup, I have never got any rash and she is always having rashes because of the makeup that she wears... so I don't think there's a lot of difference.
I don't think the more expensive brands are better, but quality does matter and the best for your skin are those with idebenone and are mineral based, such as True Cosmetics. Oxygen brand and Jane Iredale are also much better. Mineral makeup doesn't clog your pores and will keep your skin healthier.
yes. most of it. some expensive stuff is still crap though
each brand has their good and bad products. checking the ingredients and reading product reviews are an excellent way of filtering out which are worth the money whether it be in the drugstore or the mall.

Not necessarily better, it depends on what you personally like and what works best for you. I prefer Max Factor and Maybelline, have never had a problem with either one of those.
yes. thats why they're expensive...because theyr designer. designer items have a higher quality.
Expensive makeup doesn't guarantee better quality. The off the shelves products are sometimes better that those expensive ones. For instance, Maybelline and L'oreal mascaras are way better than those of Clinique or Mac.





Some buy them only for their high end branding as they are brand-conscious people. But if you shop products for quality and efficiency then, you might as well buy for those off-the-shelves items. If you being too wary of their quality,then read the ingredients or labels carefully before purchasing any items.





Some tips here; Buy pressed powders,foundations,loose powder,blusher that are ''NON-COMODEGENIC''. This means these products do not clog your pores.





Products that say ''OIL-FREE'' are very recommendable for users with oily skin or combination skin.





Look for products that has ''NON-ALLERGENIC'' labels as these products are most likely not going cause you any allergy or side effects.





You may also want to Look for products that contain VITAMIN C OR VITAMIN E OR VITAMIN A. Thse vitamins are your skin's bestfriend. Vitamin C aids in skin whitening, giving your skin a good boost and also helps in healing blemishes' marks.


ZA brand has alot of products as such.





It is also advisable to buy cosmetic products(eg foundation or lipbalms/glosses) with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) if you do not practise wearing sunblocks.SPF 15 is good enough.





When buying, eye makeup like eye-liner ,mascaras or eye shadows,be sure to look for the ones that have '' SAFE FOR CONTACT LENS WEARERS'' labels.





If you want to go a notch higher which means you do not mind splurging on make up items, then you can buy products from BIOTHERM or Averine . These brands may be a little too splurging for your pockets but they have quality products.


BIOTHERM has makeup items that don't only beautify you but treat and pamper your skin. It's their spa line cosmetics.


Averine products are of natural ingredients.


Natural ingredients aren't harsh on our delicate skin.





Well,i really hope my suggestions help. =)
yes
yes in a way..it rather depends on the person..some say yes..others say no.
A cosmetic is expensive because only when its quality worth it,low brands mostly causes allergies and other problems to your skin,they have short -term effects well expensive brands have long term benefits and they dont leave negative effects on skin,better go for expensive as u have to buy them once and nothing is much more expensive than your skin,which is priceless
I was reading a magazine and it said that the only make-up that you should not mind spending alot of money on is your foundation because if you get a low quality/cheap foundation it could clog your pores and make your skin worse. your skin needs to breath, and if your skin can not breath thats when it gets irritated. i personally use Bare Escentuals, and love it. My skin got clearer and i can't feel it. i used to use cover girl powder and foundation, but in my humid city it just kept slipping off my face and i would break out bad, especially in the summer. so i tried it and will never go back....ok sorry to sound like an infomercial but its the truth. its costs alot but it lasts a long time too.


~Hope this helps
