Tips To Buy Makeup Wisely

Walking into a store that is teeming with makeup brand displays packed with products in eye-catching colors and packaging can be as fascinating as it is overwhelming.

Faced with so much offer and visual impact, it is very easy to get dizzy and fall into the temptation of buying on impulse or giving in to the pressure of the saleswoman who assures that that product that has just come out on the market is ideal for you.

But how do you know before buy wholesale cosmetics? On which cosmetics to spend money on premium brands and on which to opt for the most massive without sacrificing quality? Here are some tips for you to invest in makeup wisely:

  • Make an inventory of the makeup that you have in your cosmetic bag. Check which ones are approaching their expiration date, discard those that have already expired and check the colors of lipsticks, shadows, blushes and enamels that you already have so as not to buy the same or very similar ones.
  • Establish the budget you have to invest in makeup and set priorities based on what you need most at the time of making the purchase. The golden rule is to buy few products, of good quality and that you can make the most of.
  • Before you buy, try on the makeup and make sure you’re comfortable with both the product’s texture and color.
  • There are cosmetics in which it is worth investing in expensive brands and others in which it is not necessary to spend so much money because the result is the same as that of luxury brands. Something that is more expensive is not always necessarily better.

Products in which you should look for recognized brands even if they cost you a little more:

  • Base: Investing in a good base will make your face look flawless throughout the day, without color variations or allergic reactions. Cheaper brands not only don’t have as much variety of shades but they can make your face look stuffy.
  • Concealer: Those for professional use ensure that dark circles are covered throughout the day. A cheap one will make them look grayish or whitish, obtaining the opposite effect to what you are looking for.
  • Volatile powder: A good product will give a soft, velvety and matte finish to your face, while the cheaper ones can highlight all your flaws and ruin a good foundation and concealer. You should use Laura mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder.
  • Shadows: those sold in pharmacies or cheaper brands do not have the fixing power of luxury brands. Instead of buying a lot of cheap shadows, invest in a palette from a well-known brand, in neutral colors. You will use it for every occasion and it will last you a long time.
  • Pencil eyeliner: the cheaper ones are more greasy, so the eyeliner will run after a few hours and ruin your look.

Products that are not worth spending large sums of money on:

  • Lipstick: In lipsticks there is not so much difference between a luxury product and a cheaper one, since both have to be retouched quite often and in both cases they have a wide range of colors.
  • Mascara: There are massive brands that leave the same result on your eyelashes as a much more expensive one, with the same lengthening and volume effect. Also, it is not worth spending too much on a product that you have to renew every three months.
  • Blush: In terms of durability, they usually have the same fixation so it is not worth spending too much money.
  • Enamels: Any enamel, both expensive and cheap, can look the same using a base and a top coat.
