Cheaper Alternatives to Pricy Name Brands

A friend of mine pointed out in my makeup tutorial I only use high-end makeup. For someone just starting their collection, going out and spending hundreds of dollars on makeup can be expensive. It's true I built my collection slowly over time. I will go over what brands I recommended, and cheaper substitutes. Foundation I recommended - Smashbox Studio Fix $36/Benefit Hello Flawless $36 These are both pretty expensive. What makes these my favorite foundations is they are light and breathable on the skin. Cheaper foundations tend to be thick and clog your pores. I also tend to get dry skin. Putting on a foundation that moisturizes is like taking care of my skin all day. I wouldn't skimp on the price of a foundation. It's somewhere putting in the money is worth it. Drugstore Recommendation- Revlon Color Stay $7.99 Powder I recommended- Kat Von D Lock-It Setting Powder $15.00 I got the "mini size" version not knowing if I would like translucent
