I got a expander last week, and I'm wondering what other, greatly recommended water piks there are and where to buy them. Thanks!
MAC. I suppose your asking if you're really paying for quality. is very expensive because it is high quality. Their brushes ( I have 8 ) are made out of wood, nickel, and goat hair. Their blushes are amazing, their powders are amazing, and their foundations aren't cake-y at all. It doesn't matter what brush you use. As long as it is decent quality, you can STILL look good. Drugstore brands can come close, but MAC really is the STUFF. Now what I recommend is using Revlon brushes since you don't really look as if you're too keen on MAC. And what's the point? You can always upgrade in the future :) So, what eyeshadow ? REVLON colorstay all the way! Also try LOreal HiP :) As for brushes, I would use EcoTools. It has been compared to MAC and some even say it's better than MAC in the way that it's cruelty free and environmentally friendly and that it is still all the while effective.
When you're first learning how to do makeup, it's perfectly fine to use inexpensive products. The quality does tend to be better when products are more expensive, but when you're learning, those qualities aren't quite as important. For example, Makeup Forever has some eyeshadows that are REALLY pigmented, but if you don't really know how to use them, they can be more of a mess than anything. If you go for more inexpensive products that aren't as bright and pigmented, you can create more natural looks until you're ready to experiment with other looks. As far as the brushes go, a lot of people buy MAC brushes because they're high quality and high quality holds up over time better than poor quality. Whatever brushes you have right now are perfectly fine to learn with, but if you get really into makeup you might want to invest in better ones. Good luck!
hello im a guru also on youtube and i personally buy expensive palettes because their more pigmented then drugstore items. Drugstore is great i have a sonia kashuk palette from target i love it but the pigmentation isnt as great as higher brands. Brushes i think are the same, Mac are better quality but i still have many other drugstore brushes that work the same. BUT if you do want the look you want then find brushes that are a dupe (same, alike) from the one they are using. for instance mac 329 might have a drugstore brush that looks the same. also the look kinda depends on how you do it. its kinda like you saying you give your five year old daughter to put on EXPENSIVE makeup on you and i looks good? so its all YOU
No It doesn't matter what makeup brushes you use. As longs you have the necessary brushes for the task at hand. Whether your applying blush or eyeshadow, ext. A lot of makeup tutorials posted on youtube are from make up artists, or people who are seriously into makeup. I'm into makeup, but I wouldn't make it as a career. So they buy the most expensive brands, which are good quality, but drugstore brands can do the same thing. They just take a bit of time to find. Also, you just need to find a brand that works just as well for you.... Rimmel is a drugstore brand and works fairly well. Coastle Scent pallets are amazing too, they are just like makeup pallets by Mac in my opinion. If not better, makeupbyleina (if that's how you spell it) from youtube uses that brand and we have the same opinion. You can order them off okorder for about 20$ and they are amazing quality. It's worth a look, the metal mania pallet has great colors. I forgot to mention that the coastle scent pallets has 88 different colors, all for 20$ or so. So you get a lot for what you pay for.
