Consider this a follow up to my gothic make up tips post I did a few days ago.
Looking good doesn't mean that you need to spend a fortune. Of course if you can afford it, go for it.
But since I personally am not a rich person, I often buy "mainstream" beauty products and I love it.
However, I have a small advice to give you. It's important to change your mascara every 3 months. I have no scientific evidence to support this statement but I guess it's a bit of common sense. I have read it somewhere which unfortunately I cannot remember where, but I understand it. Our eyes deserve nothing but the best. There are lot of bacteria out there and our eyelashes are so sensitive. Change your mascara often and keep your eyes healthy.
Having said that, I'll continue to my original subject of this post.
I will tell you the products I'm using and I will try and find online how much they cost (it's been a while and I don't remember their exact price).
I'm always on a budget, so this post is dedicate to all of you out there that are looking for nice products on a good price.
As I explained on my earlier post, I support the less is more way of thinking.
Foundation, black eyeliner, mascara and red lipstick. And that is all.
So here are the products I'm using.
Foundation:
Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse Foundation. Prices on ebay can start from 5.99$+ free shipping, or in the same price range on other currencies. In Sweden I have found it even 69SEK.
I love it. It has been my best friend the morning after a late party on a weekday.
Just go to your local cosmetics store, try it out to see which shade is suitable for your skin, and buy it online.
Ebay is another best friend of mine.
Eyeliner:
Fluidline gel eyeliner by MAC. Yes MAC cosmetics are usually expensive, but this little baby costs around 10$ (plus 1$-2$ for shipping, ebay of course). And it lasts. Trust me, it does. And it's amazing.
Alternatively, you can buy any eyeliner/pencil for less money from your local store. There are always cheap yet nice ones.
Mascara:
Any from Maybeline. Yes I do buy a lot from Maybeline. It's inexpensive and it's great.
Lipstic.
My favourite part of the makeup! I have this amazing Blood red Manic Panic lipstick, which I bought from ebay for less than 10$.
And well, I have another one, and this is my favourite actually, the Stargazer n.127 which costs less than 50 SEK, which it's like 5,6 euros.
And it's one of the best lipsticks I have ever owned. It's so red, and even though it's not a permanent one, it stays!
And here are all of my babies posing for you, on my kitchen table.
I hope you enjoyed my tips!
