Splurge or Save?

Hey guys!! So today, I was discussing with my friend about what makeup to buy cheap ex. eyeshadow foundation ect. and we had great differences in opinion! So I thought I would share my opinions with you!!


Face:

Primer:You HAVE to splurge on good primers this goes for face,eye,lips, ANYTHING!! Primers are your base.It will make any foundation look better and stay on longer!!

Concealer:Personally, I haven't found a good concealer drugstore or high end yet. So this one i'm not sure about!

Foundation: I think you could get either. But you can definitely save if you wanted to on one at the drugstore!!
Tinted Moisterizers: I own 3: Covergirl CG smoothers, ELF studio line, and laura mercier. For me, it's a splurge. I'm in love with my laura mercier and don't find myself reaching fo the other two very often!!

Powder:I have a variety of different powder brands: MAC,ELF,maybelline,bare minerals, nyc, mary kay ect. but i find i love them all just the same. I think you could save on this product. My drugstore favorite?
Maybelline mineral power pressed powder!!!

Highlighters: I think you can definitely save on this one. I LOVE my elf shimmering facial whips and shimmer palette. the facial whips were $1 and the palette was $3(:

Blushes: In general, I love my MAC blush but there are some really awesome drugstore blushes too.It depends on if you are really into blushes and are willing to pay a lot. Personally I buy drugstore on this one

Bronzers: I haven't really experimented to much with bronzer because I find it looks weird on my skin, but i own 3: elf countering blush & bronzer duo, Victorias secret, and elf $1 line.But, i've tried on laguna before and I really love it so I think you should splurge..? I'm really not the best person to ask though!!!


Eyes:

Primer: Same goes for the eye primer as face..SPLURGE!!

Cream shadow(Base):I would say these are a save. I own both high end(Laura Mercier, MAC) and lower end(elf,revlon,NYX) and actually find myself reaching for the lower end ones more!!

Eyeshadow: TOTALLY depends on brand. Typically, high end ones are nice( but there are some exceptions) although some lower end brands are seriously awesome(my elf shadow palette is AMAZING). In general you could half save...?I don't know you just have to research the brand!!

Eyeliner:Save, i love all my elf liners, my forever 21 liners, my physicians formula gel cream liners ect.

Mascara: If you were to buy all your makeup high end except for one item, this would be that one. I get all my mascara drugstore

Lipgloss of any kind:Save, while I do enjoy my high end ones, I think this really is a save

Lipstick: Also a save. My favorite lipstick I own is revlon and NYC-awesome pigmentation!!

So there you have it!I rely hope this helps you guys! Ta-Ta for now!!

Love,
Lily
