Hi everyone,

Today’s post is all about the makeup and beauty products that are worth your money. There’s no dearth of luxury and high-end beauty brands in the market. However, there are just as many budget and drugstore brands that retail makeup and skincare products. With such a vast variety of products to pick from, it can often get challenging to make your choices. While it doesn’t make sense to splurge on beauty products like mascara that has a very short shelf life, you can begin to explore more options that you can spend your money on.

Let’s take a look at the seven luxury and high-end makeup purchases that are worth your money.

1. An MLBB lipstick: Don’t make the mistake of splurging on a red lipstick or a dark, vampy lipstick because that’s not something that you will be wearing too often. Instead, it’s a much better idea to spend your money on an MLBB lipstick. Since you will be using this more often, you’d much rather be using a high-quality product that you really like.

2. A high-coverage foundation: Don’t spend your money on foundations with light or sheer coverage. Keep in mind that a high-coverage foundation can be sheered out using a facial oil or a moisturiser and that it is a highly customizable product. You’d want to spend your money on a high-coverage foundation because, typically, drugstore foundations with a high coverage can tend to look quite heavy and cakey. However, it’s important to opt for quality in a high-coverage foundation.

3. A liquid or cream concealer: Concealer is another base makeup product that you’d want to be a little choosy about. Concealers contain very concentrated pigment, so you’d want something that is lightweight and very fine in texture so that it doesn’t look heavy or cakey but it still provides the kind of coverage that you are looking for.

4. An eyeshadow palette: It’s quite unfortunate that the drugstore/budget brands don’t offer many top-notch eyeshadow palettes. Eyeshadow palettes from drugstore brands typically don’t tend to be pigmented enough. If they are pigmented, there tends to be the problem of fallout with them. One way or the other, if you’re looking for a high-quality selection of eyeshadows, it’s best to invest in one from a luxury or high-end makeup brand.

5. A cream or powder highlighter: Highlighter—whether it is creamy or powdery in texture—is another product that you can go wrong with if you compromise on the quality. While there are still some great, finely milled and subtle highlighters offered by the drugstore or budget brands, it’s safe to invest in a high-end highlighting product.

6. A translucent setting powder: Unless you’re looking for adding coverage with a face powder or compact, it’s always a good idea to invest in a translucent setting powder to lock your makeup in place while preventing it from looking too heavy or cakey.

7. A makeup setting spray: The importance of a makeup setting spray is often underestimated in the scheme of all things beauty. To prevent your makeup from looking cakey, to set it in place and flaunt a skin-like finish, you need a really good makeup setting spray. High-end makeup brands such as MAC and Urban Decay make some top-notch makeup setting sprays, and they’re surely worth the price.
