More expensive the better when it comes to make-up?

Question

I am really considering buying some MAC make-up because it seems to be really good..what do you think about mac or do you have any other suggestions?

Answer 1

More expenisve isn't always the way to go! MAC is good- i used to work there and they have good quality make-up! If you can't decide you can always test the products- get a mini makeover and see how you like the company! you never know the best make-up could be at a local walgreens!

Answer 2

I have never actually used MAC, so I'm not an expert on this, but I have heard that it is oily and clogs your pores. I do not think, though, that the more expensive the make up is, the better. I think it should be completely done by quality. If you're willing to spend that much on make up, then I would recommend Mary Kay or Maybelline. You can get Maybelline in any drug store for very reasonable prices. Or you can click on the link below to find a Mary Kay consultant near you!

Answer 3

MAC is very good makeup. However, more expensive doesn't always mean better. There are some pretty good products at the drugstore and some fairly terrible ones at the department store, you just have to know what you're looking for.

Answer 4

I don't think so-most of the "mall" makeups-Clinique, Chanel, ect. look really mask-like and tend to clog pores worse. The best makeup I've found is Loreal True Match. They have a wide range of shades so you can find one that matches your skin perfectly (its the only one I've found that didn't make me look like someone had slit my throat and I was bleeding orange when I bought the ivory shades), goes on really sheer and looks totally natural while still making your skin look completly flawless (you don't have to use much either) and it only costs about $8. Plus, if you buy it at Walgreen's, they almost always have some sort of deal where you can buy one and get one half off or free, so you could buy the foundation and get the concealor or powder for really cheap or free.

Answer 5

I actually am totally addicted to MAC eyeshadow. I've tried some of their lipglasses/glosses and their mascara and haven't been to thrilled with those. BUT-their eyeshadows stay on perfectly for a really long time-and the colors are unlike any I've ever seen. Also-After you have either 5 or 6 empty eyeshadow pods you can take them in and they'll give you the lipstick of your choice. Have fun!

Answer 6

I used to buy the cheaper makeup that you can get in any drug store. It didn't seem to be all that great for my skin, and didn't seem like the best quality. I now buy Lancome and Clinique mostly and am so happy with it. Yes, it's more expensive, but it's better for my skin and works so much better than the cheaper stuff. But I know that there are people who would disagree with me and say the drug store makeup is better. I think it's all personal preference and what you think works better for you.

Answer 7

For me, more expensive has turned out to be better. I like Bare Minerals, because it it the only makeup that helps keep my skin clear. Some people can use drug store makeup without a blemish in sight, but I've tried it all, and it all breaks me out! You might try visiting a Sephora Store near you- you can sample all of the makeup there and there are tons of people ready to assist you. That way, you don't end up with a funky color!

Answer 8

More money= better products. I like Clinique and Lancombe best. I have used MAC in the past and it's ok. Just stay away from drug store makeup unless it's just mascara or eyeliner.

Answer 9

MAC is really good, I use a lot of their products and they aren't too expensive. I also like Origins and Prescriptives products. I use all three brands almost on a daily basis - I can't do without them.

Answer 10

Yes. And it's worth the investment! I'm a big fan of Estee Lauder, but I'm considering trying MAC because I keep hearing good things about it.

But don't EVER EVER waste your money on Clinique- it offers zero coverage!
