If you’re anything like most, you spend as little as possible on makeup so you can get more. The ‘posh’ brand section of the shop is out of bounds to you. You would have to save up to get anything there, and who has time for that? Instead, you spend money here as soon as you get it. All the better for keeping your collection stocked with plenty of variety.
In truth, this is a mistake most of us make when we’re young. Who can blame us? Makeup brands lure us in with a new product every week with an affordable price tag. It’s surprise, then, that most of us are happy to spend where we can to keep our routines fresh.
In reality, though, buying cheap makeup isn’t always the best option. Over time, you may even find yourself dissatisfied with your sizeable makeup collection. It’s a frustrating feeling, especially if the latest products don’t help change it. But, if you can’t get a grip on makeup, it’s a sure sign you may want to spend a little more on some high-quality pieces. If you aren’t convinced, read on to find out why it’s a good idea.
Your beauty routine will mean more
While makeup is a novelty when you first start wearing it, your everyday makeup routine could lose its sparkle in a few years. Rather than making you feel good, cheap products could soon leave you feeling flat. In part, this is a case of getting used to how you look when you’re done up. But, it can also be due to the products you use. Cheap products don’t always produce the best results. That’s a fact. By comparison, saving up for some essential items could help to set your image on fire again. Before you know, every application will leave you with that feel good glow you had in the early days.
Your makeup bag will be more ethical
Ethical makeup is getting more attention than ever thanks to brands like lush tooting the cruelty-free horn. As such, even people who stick with brands tested on animals are sure to feel conflicted about it. But, cruelty-free options often cost more; hence we ignore the issue and carry on buying cheap. In truth, though, saving up to spend on vegan makeup instead of your usual choices can make a real difference. It will undoubtedly leave you feeling like you can love your makeup without worry again.
Cheap products are often false economies
It’s also worth noting that, while cheap products save in the short-term, they could end up costing you more in the end. Competitive products often come in smaller packages. You’ll also need to apply a lot of product to achieve a good effect. By comparison, expensive options generally come in larger sizes. You’ll also find that a small amount of valuable stuff will go a whole load further. As such, that product could last double the time, thus not costing you any more after all.
