FLAWLESS DRAG MAKEUP ON A BUDGET POSSIBLE?

Updated: Nov 9, 2021

We all love makeup and shopping for makeup is one of my favorites things to do. but when it comes to money we gotta look for not to become broke.. and we all know $100 is just not enough when it comes to full face glam. So that's why i gonna give you some pointer and comparisons on products you can find in any city in the world that will make your face look like a million dollars without spending life savings.


*Let's start by saying this is just my personal opinion and experience and if you have the coins please be my guest and by luxury makeup I in fact love it.. but my budget as a ballet dancer is not as high as i will like to. Now let's go to the important part*


Where to buy makeup is definetely the key ... AVOID Sephora. An amazing store cover with glamour and luxury and yessss THE BEST BRANDS IN THE WORLD! but let's be real nothing, even the smallets eyeshadow is not less expensive than $25. For the queen on a budget go to ULTA BEAUTY in my opinion the best because you have both options; prestige and drug store.




When it comes to drag i think is not as important the product you are wearing is the finish and the effect of it. For example, eye shadow ... you can get a Pat Mcgrath pallet for $75 and a colourpop cosmetics for $34 with a red eyeshadow on it.. red is red and if the color shows up who cares, nobody will know or even ask.



In terms of foundations, eyeliners, powder products such us bronzer, blush highlights, etc... you have amazing affordable brands like one of my favorites; Makeup Revolution.. criticized because of the obvius dupes they create. But, honestly nobody really cares. In my case i did always use kryolan tv stick as foundation until i discover this brand they have a tv stick dupe to Anatasia foundation stick for $7 that with the right setting powder.. does exactly the same and your pocket will be grateful about it.


I always found easier to find palletes that gave me options, for blush, bronzer highliter; is always because you get more for less. Brands such us bh cosmetics

have amazing quality selections of pallets in this department. you can be surprise of how much you can safe if you stop looking to all this expensive brands that yes they sell beautiful pacage and amazing products ... but what matters is what you can do with it. I own all kind of makeup from the most cheap to the most expensive but it is not necessary at all if you learn how to use things correctly.



AND AS OF FINISH PRODUCT HERE WE GO... ME. I do pride my self on using what i can and after many years of experience unless you get your self someone that pays for it, or a sponsorship, it can be really expensive to get yourself a hold of a makeup kit if brands are important for you. I'm not an expert on makeup but I like to think I don't look too bad and most importantly is just fun.



I hope i got you some good pointers and examples of where to go mostly when you are starting to play with the brushes and with the millions possibilities makeup have, it can be an amazing outlet to just do it for you in the privacy of your own vanity. JUST ENJOY AND BE THE BEST VERSION OF YOURSELF !
