When it comes to purchasing cheap makeup, women are somewhat cautious. The leading brands, such as MAC, Stila, Sephora etc, have made us all believe that theirs is the only quality makeup on the market.
In other words, if you don't own MAC you feel deprived. But is this true?
In my experience you absolutely can find great quality cosmetics at much lower prices. Don't get me wrong, I love the leading brands but I don't want to feel forced to purchase MAC at all costs. I enjoy variety and discovering new brands and products.
Makeup becomes tedious when reduced to only a few brands, don't you agree?
As a makeup junkie, I've found quite a few established online cosmetics companies. I have personally dealt with these companies and buy from them regularly.
blushcosmetics.com is a good place to purchase cheap makeup. They have good quality makeup brushes at a fraction of the cost of MAC. Now, I'm not going to deny that MAC brushes are better quality but these work just as well.
coastalscents.com is THE place buy big eyeshadow palettes. I have the 88 eyeshadows palette which has a huge spectrum of colors, matte and shimmery, for approximately 20 dollars + shipping. It's great value for your money. If you are just starting out with makeup, maybe consider the smaller 28 piece neutral palette which is great to sink your teeth into.
Elf (EyesLipsFace.com) Cosmetics is are great company selling cheap makeup online. Prices are very LOW. If you are just starting out, you can buy loads of makeup here very cheaply. This company is fairly new, it was started in New York in 2004, but has grown fast thanks to magazines like Elle or Marie-Claire praising their quality cheap makeup.
Deciding to spend lots of money on makeup brushes or makeup products is a personal choice. I know many women who refuse to buy expensive makeup products even though they can. While others would love to purchase them but cannot afford to.
Whatever your situation, just know that you have cheaper options available to you. Thank Goodness!
