then possibly it'south time to tone down on the brand up ? or learn to apply is more efficient ? or a different brand ?

@punk: I know what you mean, and I have no solution. I just idea I'd join you in the pain information technology is to be a adult female. And I don't even use that much, just for basics, it is insanely expensive. Oooh. So there's facial moisturizer. That stuff it SOO expensive!

That much…at Sephora? Honey.. That is mode likewise much. Here'due south what I exercise, and it really helps me salvage money: I purchase the essentials at Spehora that I really can't find anywere else (which for me is my favorite eyeshadow and eyeliner and concealer). And the rest I buy at somewere like Target. You can really find a good cheap mascara and chroma that works just equally fine as a name brand i.

I utilize the same approach as TheHaight – although different shop names. I become my foundation, eyeliner and mascara at the Dior counter in Brown Thomas and the balance from Boots or Tesco. I especially pass up to purchase expensive lipgloss and nail varnish; they're too consumable – and I can't think the final time I used up a bottle of nail varnish. They always end upwards in the bin half-empty!

I'm with wildflower and TheHaight on these. Start, I use Bare Minerals for my basics. I normally only need to replace them every 3–iv months. I never clothing makeup at dwelling and very lightly on days when I'thou running errands. Even when I'm not in treatments for cancer, I've simply never been 1 to wear a lot of make-up. Very rarely practise I pay more than $6 for a lipgloss – except 1 Bare Minerals lipgloss, but I never buy more one in a year.

I purchase cheaper mascaras, boom smoothen and even concealers. For blush, I use a friend's favorite trick – she'south a makeup creative person, I apply lipstick. I can utilise it on my lips and cheeks and information technology doesn't take a lot! I just blend it in and it lasts a long fourth dimension.

If yous are including moisturizers in your basics, I follow the information that the dermatologist told my daughter to practise. I purchase a lightweight moistruizer – utilize it day and dark – just during the mean solar day, I add a small amount of suntain lotion. He told us there is not reason for a day and night moisturizer. I don't buy expensive face scrubs – I've found a few at target I love. I went from spending $150 to $225 on moisturizers and exfoliators to no more than $lx. (that'south on the high side!)

My makeup, I used to buy only the top of the line – anywhere from $300—$600. Never once again! Now, if I buy everything at one time, it'south usually less than $150.

If you are female and have the "right" kind of BF or husband, y'all will never have to buy your ain makeup.

He will buy information technology for y'all.

Him paying for it solves aught. It costs the same and probably just means I'll pay something else instead, similar petrol, flight tickets, apparel…..the goes out regardless.

I do have a reasoned response to that, merely it would probably start a "fight," so I'll go along it to myself.

Feel complimentary to PM information technology to me if you don't desire to air information technology in public…

Yous can buy less expensive makeup at drugstores and dollar stores. If you like higher-finish brands, I would propose ebay and websites like beautycrunch.com.

I guess information technology'southward considering women are willing to pay the toll. I've heard that make up from the drug store is just as good equally the more than expensive stuff you purchase from the department stores, only that hasn't been my feel. :-( So I just pay for the expensive stuff. But I know what you mean, I love Sephora. They have so many cool things at that place. But yeah you terminate up spending a ton of money.

sephora is incredibly expensive in general, and equally far equally i can call up, it pretty much always has been a hell of a lot pricier than any other makeup. though if i had $20 to spend on eyeshadow i'd haulass over to sephora/mac besides [;
