How To Build A Quality Makeup Collection?
Step1:÷ Determine your budget. It is best to set a monthly expenditure you can afford, since many makeup items need to be replaced often.Step2: Learn where to spend the money. For example, you will spend more money on quality mineral makeup or foundation than on mascara or lip gloss; knowing where and when to spend and where to save is valuable in building your collection. Products that you use more often, like foundation or eyeliner, are worth investing in.
Step3: Pick and choose. You may love the gel eyeliner and brush from an expensive brand, but you do not need to remain completely faithful to that brand. You will add variety and quality to your collection by picking and choosing from high-end cosmetics and drugstore brands. Many drugstore makeup brands carry items that are comparable to the big names, and sometimes even better.
Step4: Purchase quality makeup tools. Eyelash curlers, eyeshadow brushes, eyeliner brushes and face brushes are well worth a higher price tag. You can be assured that they will not come apart or wear out quickly and will apply your makeup flawlessly.
Step5: Skimp on items such as lip gloss, blush, mascara and makeup bags or organizers. These can be found at beauty discount stores or drugstores. An item like mascara is the perfect place to save money, since it will need to be replaced every 2 to 3 months.
Step6: Get a free makeup application at a department or makeup store. Purchase only the items you truly need, then head to your favorite beauty discount or drugstore to see if you can imitate the look. Compare eyeshadow and lip gloss colors and see if you can copy the high-end look for less.
