    its not that its crap.. but it like any other you have to read the labels and do some research to figure out what is in it so that you are only using things that are good for your skin.

    Honestly, I've used drug store makeup and expensive makeup and there are some things to splurge on and some things that just aren't worth it. Mascara, for instance, is not something to spend a ton of money on. I would suggest splurging on foundation and powder, but not on blush. Lipstick is something that will come off no matter what brand you use, but some are more drying than others so trying to find the best brand for your lips is important. Eye shadow base is definitely something to splurge on but not necessarily eye shadow.

    If you are asking about health when it comes to makeup, a lot of them have harmful parabens that increase your chances of getting certain cancers. A lot of lipstick has it and you ingest that as well as lead in there too. A list of healthy, mostly paraben free makeup can be found at: http://www.drugstore.com/green-and-natural/natural...

    As far as cheap makeup that gives you a bang for your buck, I love BH cosmetics pallets. I think they are amazing and give great pigment (most of the time) and they have a ton of variety (120 colors for 25 bucks? I think yes). I also really like the maybeline color tattoo cream eye shadows as a base for a powder shadow. NYX is one of my favorite eyeliner brands and their loose pigments last forever. Elf has some good blushes but they need to be put over a cream blush (I just use the 8 dollar victoria's secret kind). I love rimmel mascaras but that's what fits my eyelashes and yours are probably different. Boots has some really great tinted moisturizers with spf that look great and protect your skin.

    Overall I would say that drug store brands are worth it if you buy the right things.

    I would actually recommend drug store, it's affordable and often works just as well as high end. I would use:

    Rimmel

    Maybellinne

    Some elf

    Some la colors

    Revlon

    Avon

    And wet and wild

    Those are all common drug stores brand, and they all work well. If you are willing to spend a little more try ebaying for Mac or we hora products.

    Urban Decay, MAC, etc.

    But drugstore makeup isn't bad, you just need to look up specific items and reviews before buying it as you should with anything you are looking into.

    I own almost all drugstore makeup, but I do the research on the specific items and I use them right so they work well for me.

    Not everyone can afford 50$ foundation and that is what people think is good.

    It kinda relies upon on each and every man or woman product. with the aid of trial and error Ive found out that at times, the dept keep stuff is plenty greater advantageous...dont skimp on beginning up, concealer, or makeup brushes or eyeliner (the cheap stuff is often too annoying!) yet at times the drug keep stuff is wonderful. Maybelline super lash mascara is as sturdy because of the fact the costly stuff, blush, eyeshadow, moisturizers, nail polish - all wonderful on the drugstore point. Loreal has some very sturdy colours. As some have already stated, get your makeup achieved on the dept keep then experience the blush and eyeshadow colours on the drugstore.

    Drugstore make-up is actually really good,it may depend on what you buy but some good ones are

    Maybelline

    Rimmel

    Revlon

    Milani

    Covergirl

    and there are some others but can't remember at the moment.

    If you really insist on trying non-drugstore makeup than you can try MAC,but it's pricey,NYX is a really good one,it's good and not pricey,I recommend you trying NYX first.

    I like drug store. It's cheap and the mascaras by loreal and rimmel and maybelline are just as good as lancome in my opinion.

    He comprados varias veces en los sitios web mi set de maquillaje y siempre he sido muy contenta, el último que he comprado ha sido un set de maquillaje para corregir algunas cosas, además de un buen precio el producto cumple todas mis expectativas, una excelente compra y muy practica.
