Makeup Artist Uses Identical Twins to Prove Expensive Cosmetics are a Waste of Money

To be honest to me the designer make up looks like they've used a darker tone of foundation/concealer than the drug store makeup.. so I think the designer makeup was just not matched to her skin tone right!
As for my ideas on the subject in general, I feel like you can find some cheap make up that is amazing, and some expensive make up that is horrible. It depends on the individual product and how it works for you. Although I would hope that if I were spending the extra money I'd find the expensive stuff to be right for me more often.

Hmm interesting. I like the expensive look on the streets and the drugstore look in the studio. I don't think most expensive make up looks more expensive on, especially when first applied. As the day goes on certain brands do last better. For me I buy an expensive product because I love how it feels on. For example my Chanel lipstick is my most favourite make up item ever. It is creamy, hydrating, lasts really well and has a really subtle shimmer to it. It is perfection and I just love it. But when it comes to eyeliner I am really happy with the super cheap drugstore brand Essence. Their eyeliner is as good as all the more expensive brands I've tried.
I think straight off the bat freshly applied doesn't give a lot of clues but as wears on after several hours it does give a marked difference plus how it feels and how easily it blends. I understand they had a proffessional MUA apply it and so they can blend and do it so that it works but to the average person the better makeup is probably easier to apply with less effort and blending.
This topic is quite interesting! I recently went over to Australia in the hopes I'd buy makeup. I wanted 2 things a foundation and a setting spray......these 2 together? $97 for 2 items! I instead kept using my mums Revlon foundation which I'd roughly $30 and it was amazing! I only purchased 2 makeup items in Aussie a primer and an all over powder with the whopping total of $20 both you can get in nz and both products I've had in high end form and drug store. I think both high end and drug store are good. It all depends on the individual and what works for them.
Good article. I love both drugstore and expensive. It's depends what works best for you. I love Mac and Nars foundation but I also love designer brand foundation as well. Two months before I try Natasha denona glow foundation but after week use I threw in rubbish. Worst foundation i ever use. So it is depends what you looking for and what works best for you, your skin type, and your need.
Not exactly cosmetics, but I've just bought some Earthwise products on special at Countdown. They come in quite big containers for the cost so they look economical (I'll confirm they're worth it when I've tried them). I was going to the shop to get soap and handwash and looked in the brand directory for something I haven't tried and found Earthwise. The soap looked spensy at $5 (it was $4.50 on special) but when I got it it turns out it has 3 bars in the pack! and with a gorgeous lemon scent. Might be worth a look for anyone in Countdown over the weekend.
Now sticking to the topic of this thread I myself like both drugstore & highend although as Kim mentioned drugstore eyeshadows need primers for good blending & to get good pigment performance. Unfortunately for me ny hg are highend such things as my fav cc cream is it cosmetics & my hg brow pencil is ABH brow definer I find for setting powder aswell is highend same for mascara but nyx does jumbo pencil well amongst other things & lip products I like colourpop & Revlon my foundations atm are drugstore fit me is a definite go to & I'm liking L'oreal also the brow plumper. I guess it is down to personal preference but there are good drugstore brands & unfortunately for us here in NZ any make up is pricey drugstore or highend unless we go for Jordana which is a good brand.
