Save Money on Cosmetics

The most f rugal among us mightsuggest giving up make up and hairproducts in order to save money. And allthe women in the room said … I’ll let youf ill in the blank. It is no secret that agood percentage of women love or atleast f ully depend on their cosmetics.While it may be f un to watch yourf avorite beauty vloggers and Style’sbest products, the truth is that make upcan take up a huge part of our budget.Here are three tips on how to look goodwithout looking poor.

Quality Vs QuantityAll of us have dif f erent skin issues and beauty needs, which is why I am not going to suggest buying thecheapest make up you can f ind. Instead, seek out cosmetics that are high quality and make you look your best.No matter the price or brand, avoid products that make your skin break out. You shouldn’t have to spend moremoney on f ixing your skin. If you choose to use higher end products, try to narrow down your make up needsto a f ew items. Not only will this save you time in the morning, but it can help keep your make up space cleanand organized. If you are really into experimenting with dif f erent lip colors or eye shadows, then perhaps stickwith more inexpensive brands, since you may only use the product a f ew times.

Don’t Be Afraid to ReturnIt doesn’t matter if you buy your f oundation at Target or in the Macy’s beauty department, you should returnany product that you do not like or are unsure of . You don’t want to waste money on unused products. Therehave been several t imes I have gotten the wrong f oundation shade and have returned it easily just f romexplaining that it was the wrong shade. There was also a time when I had to return a Bare Minerals product toSephora because it caused my f ace to break out horribly. Was it embarrassing? Yes, but it was worth it to getmy money back.

Take Care of Your SkinThis may seem like a strange tip f or saving money on make up. However, isn’t it true that we use a lot moremake up when our f aces are going haywire. A clear complexion helps save money on cosmetics because youdon’t need as much. I know f rom experience clear skin is not the easiest thing to come by. Here are a f ew of myinexpensive acne-f ree tips:

Drink more water, green tea, and dandelion tea

Cut out sugar, processed f oods, and even dairy to see what the culprit is

Change your pillowcase of ten

Clean your phone of ten

Those are just three simple tips to cutting your make up costs. They may be common sense, but I know manyof us, myself included, tend to overlook them. Sometimes it is a pain to take back the ugly $4 lip gloss or tokeep our make up routines down to f our products, but it can make a big dif f erence in our budgets.
