Makeup these days can be very expensive. So my question to all you ladies is do you buy your makeup according to what is left in your budget or do you budget it your makeup? I make sure that I have enough money for my makeup because I use to only wear Mary Kay, and now I only wear Bare Essentials. My face and skin are important to me, I only get one and I plane on taking extra good care of it. However my girlfriend has to buy what makeup her budget allows her to buy and that usually means the cheap stuff like Cover Girl. I am not saying any thing bad about Cover Girl but I learned a long time ago you get what you pay for.

I used to buy expensive make up brands before such as MAC and Nars but since i've got no work(due to my disease) I don't buy expensive make up products anymore.. plus, it isn't practical to buy unimportant things these days due to global recession and financial crisis.. now, i'm just using Maybelline make up and other local brands such as bench(cheek and tint) and lipbalm(chapsticks)..

Hahaha!! This question got me thinking really hard. In my case, I think I budget my money according to my makeup. You see, I don't earn a lot for a living, but what can I do? I love make up...

yeah i do budget money for my make up but you know nowadays due to global crisis i temporarily stop budgeting cash for my make up i just bought product from chinese that would be better because it is cheaper than buying branded one like avon and sara lee..

For years I only wore expensive makeup and only used pricey skin care products. Over the years my standards have lowered. I honestly don't see any difference when I use Mary Kay or Cover Girl. The main things that I find are important to having beautiful skin and looking good are eating fresh fruits and vegetables and drinking lots of water. But the one thing I won't skimp on is perfume, I hate cheap fragrances!
