Hey Guys!
So as someone who loves makeup, we can all get caught up in the hype of certain department store products. I have been guilty of shelling out money, when the drugstore has a better/just as good product. Everyone always asks me what makeup to splurge on, so I am here to tell you. While it may not seem like a lot that I list, I will tell you my reasoning. Products that I use up often is not worth breaking the bank over, also I think about what I use all the time, if I am going to reach for a product once a blue moon, it is not worth it for me.
Foundation
I do believe you should splurge on foundation. It goes on your face, and sometimes can be the first item of makeup you put on. I do find when you go to a department store, there is more variety in terms of skin needs. You can always find a foundation to help you with your problems i.e. oily, dry, combination, breakouts etc. I also do find the ingredients they use is different. The foundations glide on so well, and honestly have never settled into my dry spots. They have more staying power then drugstore makeup. Part of why I don't mind spending a lot on foundation, is because a little bit goes a long way. I have a medium/full coverage foundation, and I find that my foundation lasts over a year.
Bronzer
I have only bought one bronzer in my life, and it has been drugstore. I fell in love. It is smooth and silky, and once again a little bit goes a long way. I do find the color payoff to be amazing as well. I never have to reapply, and I look like I have a natural glow.
Concealer
I will stand by my department store concealer any day. I have bags under my eyes and dark circles. I have tried so many drugstore concealers and nothing did the trick, plus they settled into my fine lines. I finally found an amazing department store concealer, and my under eyes have never looked better. The coverage is amazing, but I do have to set it, to get that amazing flawless look. As all department store finds, it lasts a long time.
Lipstick
I have mixed feelings about this. I do find drugstore lipsticks work well. They have really changed their formula and the color payoff is amazing. I will admit though, I do find department store lipsticks more moisturizing, it almost feels like butter. For me to pay that extra money when I can, is worth it. I wouldn't recommend buying department store lipsticks solely for their color. You can find so many dupes online, which makes the internet an amazing place.
All in all for certain products, you should shell out that extra money. I love the colors, and the moisturizing, and the luxuriousness you feel with department store makeup. I dont replace my department store makeup often, which justifies the amount I pay for my items, and honestly, its only a few items. I like mixing up my makeup with high end and low end products. You get introduced to so many new products, and I guarantee you will be shocked at how well drugstore makeup is.
