Cheap makeup vs expensive make up?

which one is better


us expensive makeup better than cheap makeup?


and which products are good ?Cheap makeup vs expensive make up?
well it really depends. like i use mac foundation [studio fix liquid foundation..AMAZING], but for my eyes, expensive concealer is too thin. i use maybelline dream matte mousse a shade lighter than my foundation. it's very thick and is THE ONLY THING that covers the dark circles under my eyes.








mascara, though. CHEAP IS BETTER. what, does diorshow have flecks of gold in it that plump your lashes or something?





xPCheap makeup vs expensive make up?
Try using clinique. They're not too expensive, but they are really well made. Don't buy your makeup from walmart. The powdery stuff comes off too easily. Get some creme shadows. you only need a tiny bit, and it really makes your eyes pop. As far as lip gloss, i love love love love mac. it stays forever!
i don't think it depends on the price more on the brand i suggestBare Mineralss MAC or Smashbox they are department store brands that work great but arent as expensive as brands like Dior and Chanel
Oh, this is a common debate.


Expensive makeup is better for a few reasons


1. Better quality products in general


2. (Usually) More helpful service when buying


3. A larger variety of shades and textures





I know the extra cost is a pain, but beauty is worth it, right? ;)


-Cindy
Everyone is going to answer with '; expensive ';- and i must admit i usually stick to high end brands, but i do have to say that many ';cheap'; make-up brands work just as well if not better than the expensive brands- company's like NYX-HIP-Rimmel- and Loreal have some products that i think are great for the price. such as Rimmels eye kohl- its my favorite kohl eyeliner. Or NYX eye shadows- they compare to MAC. It all depends on what you get- i suggest getting a higher quality foundation and face powder- and maybe a lower end eyeliner and lip gloss.





glad to help :]
it is about what works for you. i use a mix of ';cheap'; and ';expensive'; make-up. both are great. you really should just get out and try anything that looks nice to you.
I think that less expensive make up works just as well. I use Maybelline Mineral Power; and it works great. On my eyes I use Almay (the eye shadow combination for each eye color), lip gloss, what ever is on sale lol. Hope you find some good advice! :)
It's not really about expensive or cheap, it's about quality and results. I find that I pay very little for certain products that work great, as well as things I have to save my pennies for. I'm working as a makeup artist and I do tend to lean towards makeup that might not be in everyone's price range, but I feel that it's worth it. Brands like L'Oreal, Mayballine, and Revlon will NEVER touch my face. I pay for quality, not for cheap products that run out so fast and require so much that I'm paying more than if I had bought a quality makeup in the first place. I use Pur Minerals on my face, a mixutre of Urban Decay, Stila, and Chanel for eyeshadow, a Make-Up 4Ever setting powder, mainly Fusion lip products (along with some Stila), Dior mascara, and Ahava makeup remover. I use so much less that it's really worth the money. The best way to find out what is the best for you and why, is to educate yourself. Grab a beauty book from Barnes and Noble that tells about how your makeup will affect your skin and wallet. I personally use natural products because I have sensative skin. That's why I like Urban Decay and Stila. Read up on what it will take to give you what you want, and it'll last you a long time since you'll always know what you're looking for.
I use almay and I think it works great stick with the cheap stuff

Do you no any kind of make up thats cheaper than mac but is as good as mac?

like i really love mac they have wonderful makeup that i wish i could afford lol . It`d be great if i had another option but i want something like mac just cheaper :-) thank youDo you no any kind of make up thats cheaper than mac but is as good as mac?
NYX. It's really cheap (in my opinion), it is kind of like MAC but cheaper. Check out there website! :

You're welcome! :) Report Abuse

Smashbox, is almost exactly like mac, but a bit cheaper, but still high end. You can find them at Sephora, or any other store that sells mac for that matter. You can also order them at there site. The quality of the make up is extremely good.
Flirt! is very similar to MAC in that it has very bright pigmented colors; the only difference is that it's less expensive than MAC. Flirt! can be bought at Kohl's stores only and they will occasionally have it on sale. It's made by Beauty Bank, which is a subsidiary of Este茅 Lauder, which owns MAC. You should check it out!
i always use pure makeup by maybelline. its amazing. its 50% water and 50% makeup. it doesnt clog pores and i never have a break out! and it goes on smoothly and covers anything. it stays put all day and i dont even have to redo my makeup.
There are literally THOUSANDS of makeup brands, and there are many, many, less expensive brands with equal quality makeup. You just have to try them out and see what works for you.
NYX!!!!
Well I use coastal scents eyeshadow and the quality is as good as mac. You should check out the website. Its' Coastalscents.com ,I believe
ULTA products are usually very cheap and don't make me angry at all.

Cheap name brand make up?

Does anyone know a good website that sells name brand make-up (Mac, Urban Decay, Two Faced, Make- Up Forever and stuff like that) for a cheaper price? Please give me websites that you or someone you know has tried and is satisfied with. Thanks!Cheap name brand make up?
sephora.comCheap name brand make up?
If you sign up for an account on MakeUpAlley.com they have a swap program where you can create a wish list and swap with other users to try out new products. I would recommend being cautious about swapping certain kinds of eye make-up (such as mascara) and lip glosses with the applicators stored in the container. These products are nearly impossible to clean off after being used and could be risky. Things like eye shadows, lipsticks liquid foundations, concealers and pressed powders should be perfectly safe. They can be wiped off with a tissue to remove the part that has possibly touched another person, or eye and lip liners that can be sharpened to expose a fresh tip. This can be a great way to try out new products for free!





As far as purchasing the products goes, I would suggest eBay and Amazon. I frequently find great deals on these sites (especially eBay). Just make sure that if you're bidding on eBay, you've checked to be sure the product is unopened.
you are never going to get MAC cheaper than their original prices unless you are buying it from e-bay and the stuff on e-bay is sometimes fake or expired. the other brands can sometimes be found at QVC %26amp; HSN for a cheaper price. sign up fpr e-mail alerts from HSN %26amp; QVC; they will notify you when they have a specials on your favorite brands. you can buy stuff on drugstore.com and earn credit for money you spend that you can use for future purchases %26amp; they have specials %26amp; free shipping sometimes. also, you can shop on ULTA.COM with their weekly coupon.
i think that Rimmel London is good. in the UK it is quite chep, like 2pounds for nail polish... also BarryM is really good. tehre is a good makeup artist on youtube called Pancea81. she is great.


also maybe you could use Miss Sporty, it is acne free on many of the products.

Whats the cheapest make-up remover?

Is there any home-made one?


i heard we can use olive oil but is it suitable for those with oily skin..?





I usually only apply some concealer for my acne marks and pimples. Thus i felt a bit wasted to use those expensive cosmetic wet wipes to remove the make-up. What esle can i use to remove? Cheap cost alternative please.








Thanks for any answers!Whats the cheapest make-up remover?
I use Olive Oil and I have oily skin. It doesn't make your skin oily at all! It appears oily on the surface at first, but let it sink in, and it makes your skin soft and smooth! Trust me! But don't use it in the morning, not that you'd take off make up in the moring anyway, but otheriwse it doesn't sink in as well, I've found.Whats the cheapest make-up remover?
I use baby oil for eye makeup. It's pretty cheap. I've also used make up wipes from the dollar store, and those are always fine!





If you're only wearing a little bit of concealer, you can just use face wash. I use mostly mineral makeup. I have clinique soap and that works fine on my skin.
have a look at this website


http://www.beautytips.ayurvediccure.com/鈥?/a>





hope it helps

If you are only using concealer, a normal face wash is quite sufficient. A face wash that is cheap %26amp; good is Eversoft Avocado face wash. It costs only $4.00.
olive oil and oily skin do not mix. promise. :)


i would try anything by neutrogena.


but the best by far is non scented baby wipes.
You should get those cheap wipes from walmart or any drugstore. it works well but it gets dry quick if you dont seal it tight.
warm water and a dove soap bar. its the best face wash. you will feel more clean on your face than if you use a makeup remover.
baby wipes or mineral oil and a cotton ball

bellaWhat to use for school make up thats cheap?
Since you're young I would consider trying drug store brands first and then go onto the big brands once you are more well adjusted.





Some of these you can find at Walmart, CVS, Walgreens, etc:





L'Oreal - They have a WIDE range of makeup. Plenty of powder foundation/concealer, brightening makeup, eye makeup, lip and tools to use for your everyday.





CoverGirl - CG has A LOT of makeup. Though not all of it is ';high quality';.. their mascara is really nice.





Neutrogena - They not only sell skin care products, they sell cosmetics too! And because they know how fragile and sensitive a girl's face can get, their make up will understand that a girl does not tolerate oil and break-outs!





Revlon - They have plenty of bright colors for that natural, every day look!





Milani Cosmetics - Some of the stuff can get pricey (like their runway eye shadows) but amazing quality!





Nyx - Their liquid eyeliners are nice, and their lip stick + lip gloss duo is amazing!





Maybelline - Pretty sure you've seen their commercials. Love their mascara! They're owned by L'Oreal so it's basically very similar.





Physicians Formula - Very nice mineral wear for every day! They also have organic wear, which is good for our environment! They are a bit pricey for drug store but so worth it!





Rimmel London - Can get pricey, but their eyeliners are pretty nice! Amazing bronzers!





^ Now that we've covered most of the drug store brands...





Here are some other ones I'll just throw out there:





MAC cosmetics - Expensive, high quality, and AMAZING. Very high pigmented.





Sephora - They carry their own brand, and possibly over 40 others! Like DIOR for example. (Can range from affordable to broke)





Urban Decay - Amazing pigments on the eye shadows and eye liners!








Well, I hope I've helped. You can always just ask your mom or aunt or cousin or maybe some friends to recommend you to some products!








ALSO:





If you haven't heard of them, ELF cosmetics (stands for eyes.lips.face)! They sell makeup for 1$. You name it. Brushes, Lips, Eyes, Face. They even have TONS of online coupons and they're right now in the middle of their FIVE year anniversary. They're giving things away like MAD!





They're not like MAC high quality (though I believe some things they sell are SUPER close [brushes]). But for something so cheap, you've got to try.





I've ordered a ton of eye shadows, brushes and all over cover sticks and so far I'm impressed. I'm ordering again soon :)





(Also: Their Studio/Mineral/Sugar Kiss line can vary from 3$ - 8$ for products)





Everything else is 1$. Check it out!!





http://www.eyeslipsface.com/








Hope I've helped, :) Good luck!!
This is what I use that's great for school: (btw you can get this at the drug store or grocery store)


Maybelline New York Dream mousse blush (color-gentle pink/pink frosting)


Neutrogena Nourishing Eye quad (colors in it- pink, purple, and navy blue)


clear/light pink lip gloss (I also use Sally Hanson Lip Inflation with the color Sheer Blush)


Lash Blast mascara


Physicians Formula Organic Wear Bronzing Veil in bronze organics


I know it sounds like a lot but it makes you look really pretty and it doesn't look like you put a lot on :) Good luck :)
Use a simple brand like Maybeline or Covergirl. I use it and it works amazing =]





Also don't EVER but a lot of make like eyeshadow or powder. It will make you look like a birthday cake.





By an eyelash curler and curl BEFORE you apply mascara.





When applying eyeshadow, apply to only below the crease of your eyelid.





If possible, try to stay simple with like just eyeliner, lipgloss and moisturizer becasue you really don't look that bad.





Before you go to bed, put vaseline on your lips so that when you wake up, it will be soft and moissturized. Or, put a thin coat of lip balm before lip gloss.





If you want shine, go for lip gloss. A more matte look is for lipstick peeps.








Don't tweeze your eyebrows too much or else you'll like end up with none.





Hope I helped :)





Answer mine plz!! :http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;鈥?/a>
you should go to seventeen.com and check out there tips from there,


you look pretty in your myspace pic so you don't have to go all out, mascara and eyeliner will keep you bright not liek you said like walking dead lol,


but anyway, if you wanna experiment using foundation and concealer, try to buy those mineral ones so you won't breakout or something,


but for your skint his things are not necessary.


The mascara will make your eyes pop specially if you use a curler, and it'll make you look awake with the eyeliner that goes with it too:]

What can i make thats extremely easy and cheap, with some ground up sausage? ?

I have some ground up sausage thats 30 percent pork 70 percent venison. I want to make something that is very inexpensive and very easy and quick to make yet still taste great. I was thinking just buying liek a make your own taco thing or maybe a hamburger helper, what do you guys think?


What can i make thats extremely easy and cheap, with some ground up sausage? ?
meatballs


meatloaf


chili


bolognaise


there are loads of things you can makeWhat can i make thats extremely easy and cheap, with some ground up sausage? ?
In my humble opinion I think if you made these w/the pork %26amp; venison together or separate sausages that they would be delicious and something different due to the venison. The recipe is very inexpensive %26amp; very quick %26amp; easy to make!





~SAUSAGE BALLS~





Ingredients:


1 lb. sausage


3 c. Bisquick


12 oz. grated Sharp cheddar cheese


1/2 t. salt





Directions:


1. Mix all together and shape into balls.


2. Place on cookie sheet.


3. Bake in preheated 375 degree oven for 20 minutes.





You can serve these warm or at room temperature.





Store in airtight container.





These freeze well so you could make as many as you like, and freeze in freezer bags before baking.





Also a unique Christmas/Holiday gift for your co-workers, neighbors,


etc.





!! Good Luck and Happy Cooking !!!
The cheapest thing I can think of is chili





brown the sausage with an onion pepper and garlic add some beans and diced tinned tomatoes. Get a packet of chili seasoning. Simmer well.





All and all about $5.00 or less... If you have the ingredients you can season your own chili, and not be bothered with the packet.
Well if u are using breakfast


just cook the sausage, 2 cups of cooked grits, 3 scrambled eggs (Slightly runny), and 1 cup of cheese








layer in a casserole dish, sausage, eggs, grits, cheese. pop in the oven for 10 mins or until cheese melts
I think you should incorporate your meat to pastas, they are very unexpensive and ground sausage + pasta+ sauce does a great meal.
I think it would be really good in a lasagna or baked ziti, or if you make your own chili it could be great in that too
Any pasta dish that you use ground beef.

Cheap but good make up ?

i want a brand of make up that's cheap, but feels and looks good.


any suggestions ?Cheap but good make up ?
try no7 great makeup might be a little more though or rimmel maxfactor


or loreal paris xCheap but good make up ?
ELF www.eyeslipsface.com


all make up as low as 1$ EACH!.. except for their mineral make-ups which are always pricey. Okay so first let me tell you that cheaper make-ups dont mean that they have poor quality as well. Remember that we have generic drugs which are way cheaper yet offers the same effect..And also other expensive make-up brands are paying too much for advertising and promoting their products through their perfect packaging style but as you can observe ELF uses simple and less complicated packs which are even practical. Persons behind this amazing make-up line are from the biggest make-brands too.
rimmel is good and cheap there foundation is good and there mascra is even better.but i don't know how much you want to spend on the items i would say that a good price for a make up item would be around 5 - 10 pounds rimmel do really good mascra's for 拢5-7 pounds and foundations from 拢5-10 there range is large and you can get all different things :) i would go with rimmel.
elf cometics. it's been in a lot of ';editor's picks'; and ';staff picks'; in a lot of beauty mags.

it wears well, has great colors and is wicked wicked cheap!!
Max-factor


Bourjois


Barry M for brights


Rimmel nail varnish





I'm a massive 'make-up snob' as friend calls me and I love top quality stuff like Dior and Clinique but I also have had some products from all of these brands in my make-up bag at one point, Barry M is great if you like to experiment with looks as their bright colours are cheap but BRIGHT, bourjois does great concealers and Max-factor does nice mascaras and foundations.

hope I helped Adele
E.L.F. make-up and Revlon are great!
hmm


in boots, they have the natural collection!


i use it, and i think it works (:


and a loose powder pot is only 拢2..


it's a good deal..


especially if your not always flush with cash!
Let's be honest, there really is no such thing as cheap make-up. NEVER get dollar store stuff, it flakes. But you also need to make sure that you are getting what you pay for. I suggest Almay or Neutrogena because these have the least chance for irritation and their products are each reasonably priced.
nyx and lo'real
rimmel or maybelline
rimmel is quite cheap, but a good brand. and barry m is fab.
