Saving Money on Makeup
by Nikki Willhite
Makeup is expensive. It is also
something that needs to be replenished and kept fresh for safety reasons.
You can spend a lot of money trying
different colors and brands. Find the colors that look best on you, and
stick with them. Makeup can be very pricey at the cosmetic counters of
department stores. Usually you can find something adequate at discount
stores.
Take advantage of free opportunities to
sample cosmetics. Home parties and department clinics are worth your time if
you need help. There also a few stores that let you return cosmetics if you
don't like them.
Take good care of your skin, and you
shouldn't have to wear much makeup. If you have a skin problem, you may find
that a trip to the dermatologist saves money in the long run.
Keep your makeup minimal, and when
possible, improvise. Most people can get buy with a little eye liner,
mascara and eyebrow pencil. For special occasions, use lipstick both on your
lips and as blush. Or you can buy blush and use it as eye shadow. You can
also use mascara to darken your eye browns.
Find the colors that look good on
you, use just a few products, use them up, and buy fresh ones when needed.
