Priceless Beauty

Ladies, you don't have to spend a ton of money on makeup to look fabulous. There is a ton of affordable makeup at your local Walmart or drug store that will have your face beat! People think that you have to buy expensive brands like MAC, Urban Decay, and Makeup Forever in order to have great quality makeup, but there are other brands like NYX, L.A. Colors, E.L.F, and Maybelline that will do just the trick. Don't get me wrong higher end cosmetic brands like MAC have fantastic quality and they are extremely pigmented, but they aren't exactly pocket friendly. Prestige makeup brands run from around $16 to $70 and sometimes that is not reasonable for a single mom, a diva on a budget ,or a broke college student. All of the products listed below will all be ten dollars and under! So ladies get out your note pads and start taking notes!!!

                                             Foundation 

                    

                                               
  A good affordable foundation dupe for MAC Studio Fix Foundation is the Maybelline Fit Me Foundation. It has the same matte finish as the Studio Fix and is around $5.96 at Walmart while the Studio fix is around $35 dollars. You will save around $30 and will still look amazing! To apply the foundation you will need a foundation brush by E.L.F. The best affordable makeup brushes from the drug store to use is the E.L.F brushes, they are about $1 to $3 a piece.            

                                 Highlight and Contour 

            

One of the new latest make-up trends in  makeup is highlighting and contouring. Stars like Kim Kardashian are know for starting the trend. Your highlight and contour shade should be two shade lighter and two shades darker. In order to show up on your face. Be careful when selecting your highlight and contour shades you don't want your concealer to be to light or  to dark. So you won't look like you have clown make-up on! Also you can use these L.A Girls Concealer to clean up around your eyebrows and to highlight them. These concealers runs around $2.99 a piece at your local beauty supply or any L.A Girls retailer. Also if your lucky you can find them at the Dollar Tree for just a dollar. The stippling brushes from E.L.F are $3 at your local drugstores. For the highlight around the eyebrows you would use the smallest brush. Then a medium or large brushes to blend out the contour and highlight. 

                                               Eyes

 

Eyeshadow pallets can get pretty expensive. Higher end cosmetic brands sell eyeshadow pallets as high as $60! My favorite drug store eyeshadow pallets is the Nudes by Maybelline. It has all the colors you need in one pallet and it is only $9.99 ! You can also use this pallet for night and day. To help keep your eyeshadow on all day you can get some E.L.F eyelid primer and spread the primer all over you lid before you put your eyeshadow on. The two main brushes you will need for your eye shadow is a eyeshadow brush and blending brush to blend out your eyeshadow. They are only $1. They are by far my favorite brushes in the world! I use them everyday, they are such good quality for only a dollar. 

                                                 Lips

A bold lip will make or break your face. The NYX soft matte lip creams are the best liquid lipsticks ever! There only $6.99 and I sometimes find myself reaching for certain colors over my MAC lipsticks. They look beautiful on. There also extremely bold and eye catching. Just remember a bold lip and some mascara can go a long way!

Setting Spray 

Are you tired of runny make-up and your make-up not lasting all day? Get you some setting spray girl! These sprays will save your life on a hot sunny day or if your always running around busy. You can go to sleep in your make-up and wake up still looking like Beyonce' with just two pumps of  setting spray! It is one of the most important steps that women skip and has there makeup gone by the time they get off work. For starting out I would try the E.L.F brand for $3. For a stronger and longer lasting setting spray I would try the NYX Matte or Dewy finish for $7.99
