Do cheap and expensive makeup show there price?

Question

People always say that some cheap or expensive things show there price, like clothes in the way they are fit and made, books in the way they have been made . So I am wondering will my makeup show it's price someway.

Also... if they do show there there price what products should I get?

Answer 1

Some makeup does tend to actually be better when expensive because the way it is made, here is generally what you should save and splurge on:

Save on:
Lip products and blushes

Some Good products to buy cheap:

CoverGirl Trushine Lipcolor
CoverGirl Cheekers Blush
Maybelline Expertwear blush
CoverGirl Wetslicks in regular springslicks and fruit spritzers
CoverGirl Continous Color Lipstick

Splurge on:
Foundation and Eye products

Products to buy:
Bare Minerals foundation
Sephora Colorful Eye Shadow Palette
Loreal Croc Palette

Overall if you should spend on products I like to use the spehora collection because it can be as cheap or cheaper than drugstore brands.

Answer 2

I think bare minerals i.d. is definitely worth its price. I've tried the cheaper fake brands that claim to work as well, I was so disappointed. Expensive eyeshadow blends better and lasts longer than cheap ones. I like LORAC a lot, but also Hard Candy. And blush definitely shows. I love Clinique's Aglow. Usually it shows in blendability and also if you apply it properly then you will look like a hundred dollars or whatever the phrase is.

Answer 3

Depending on the product, price makes a difference. Pressed powders, I like MAC but only for going out or a time when I need to be "made up" Eye liner Clinique is good and lip liners I like sephora...For the price I pay it seems to be worth it, because the products last me a long time, Mascara, I like Maybelline the pink and green one, it works well and doesnt clump or smudge.

Answer 4

It's not a matter so much of showing (though that is a bit true depending on the brand) but also longevity. Cheap makeup fades quicker, requires more to get the same color payoff, so you have to replace it more frequently. So while you may scoff at the notion of spending 14.00 on an eyeshadow, you will have it much longer than the 3.00 eyeshadow you have to replace every 3 weeks.

Answer 5

Some times they do. I think the best drug store make up to buy is Max Factor. I would never use Cover Girl or Mabline on my face, but nail polish is another story....
Really you have to have an understanding of the ingredients the more expensive make up put a better quality into there products. But that doesn't mean that all drugstore brands don't I guess you just have to do your research.

Answer 6

COASTAL SCENTS FINISHED MAKEUP PALETTES!!! they are amazing quality and sooo worth the $20! & you get like 88 in a palette, and the quality is amazing...it doesn't get much better than this. i would suggest you invest in a couple of brushes too & an eye primer (that will keep your eyeshadow on for a long time). if you're on a budget, please don't waste any money on urban decay or sephora. don't get me wrong, i love both with all my heart, but not they're not my first choice if i don't have an abundance to spend.

Answer 7

Mineral Girlz makeup is very inexpensive and looks amazing and lasts all day long! You would think it would cost so much more than it does! I love it! You should try it! I bet you ANYTHING you will be hooked! You will love this stuff! The prices are great!

Answer 8

I'm not sure, I wear both drugstore makeup and department store makeup. To be honest sometimes a product from the drugstore looks and works better than the department store brands.

Answer 9

cheap makeup i DONT @ all recommend.. because i had a friend who was a TOTAL bargain hunter in everything makeup clothes etc... and she bought a CHEAp mascara and her lashes began 2 fall.. soo i dont reccomend that u purchase a cheap mascara go 4 something reasonable in price..

Answer 10

not at all. because if you cant tell whether they are wearing expensive makeup or not than its obviously true that price doesnt matter
