Everyone is watching their pennies these days, and with good reason! Having to constantly wear masks has definitely changed how we shop and which products we are willing to spend more money on.
Here are my top beauty product picks and tips on what to save or what to splurge on.
Skincare: SPLURGE!
People are wearing makeup less and opting to go barefaced due to mask wearing. This has caused people to pay way more attention to their skin, and I am loving this! Once you are clear on your skin type or the skin concerns you want to address (tone, acne breakout, clarity etc.), I say treat yourself and splurge on a targeted skincare routine that will yield great results. I recommend brands like L’Oreal and La Roche Posay.
L’Oreal Paris Hydra Genius Liquid Care Moisturiser Normal Dry Skin, $55.99 LP/35.00 DF
Lipstick: SAVE!
Long-wear lipsticks are now a must have for lipstick lovers who still want to dress up their pucker in their favorite shades. Thankfully this is a product we can save on since there is an abundance of matte lipsticks in various brands that do not break the bank! A favorite is the Maybelline SuperStay Crayon line; comfortable on the lips and once applied, it is not going anywhere.
Eye Shadow: SPLURGE!
It is all about playing up the eyes for the most impact with your makeup look these days! When shopping for eye makeup, it is okay to splurge a bit for bolder colour, longer wear and good quality that will last you for years to come. Juvia’s Place palette never disappoint.
Foundation: SAVE!
We still need to perfect our complexion for a night out or the occasional Zoom meeting. There are many quality, affordable foundations that do a great job and also work with both oil or dry skin types. Be sure to choose something that will give you decent coverage and wear time. Maybelline Fit Me Matte & Poreless Liquid Foundation , is a tried and true crowd favorite.
