How to Buy High Quality Makeup on a Budget 

                          

 

First thing to do is decide what you want.  Do you want a natural lip or a bold lip?  Do you want warm or cool colors for your eyes?  What are some staple items that you want to have?

Then do your research.  Find out what the brands are that are affordable but high quality.  Besides the usual drugstore brands, not all of their products live up to makeup standards.  You want to find products that are highly pigmented, not a lot of fallout on the powders and long lasting.  Below are a list of companies when you are researching to look into.  Also, dive into the internet to find out about products and how they are rated and what other beauty gurus think of it.  You don't want to waste your money on products that are not going to last your work day.

Out of all the affordable brands on the market, keep in mind that each has amazing deals and total misses.  Once you determine the product that you want, it has great reviews and will work for your skin, always look for sales before you purchase.  It pays to wait it out and look for a sale.  Between the sales, reward programs and coupon codes you can get the best deal.  Remember, use ebates to make your purchase to get cash back.  http://www.ebates.com/rf
