People always rave about M.A.C & other highly respected brands but sometimes we have to think...are they always better?? You might answer yes, but I can promise you their are other brands available that are of high quality but won't take the high cost out your pockets. I am one that goes for quality over name; therefore, my blog I will try to give you insights to allow you to do the same.
If you are new to makeup and do not know what colors compliment your style:
1) purchase a good palette first. I recommend a full palette vs a eyeshadow palettte so you will know where to begin with makeup and application. Just because someone you know needs a pencil to fill in eyebrows and blush, etc does not mean you need the same. You may be sucessful in creating the look you want with just a light eyeshadow and a mineral powder foundation.
2) THERE ARE NO RULES...simply do what makes you happy. (& also what makes you look good hehe...just for others sake...we have to look at you, lol)
Recommendations for someone new to makeup:
NYX "All I Ever Wanted Box"- cost $28 (on amazon)...can also be found http://www.nyxcosmetics.com/
(78 eyeshadow, 6lip colors, 4 blush, highlighter, bronzer, powder)
while i'm not to fond of the pigments of the eyeshadow, the lip colors are AMAZING, love the highlighter and the bronzer)...this is deff a set you can take on vacation and have everything in one box
Coastal Scents 26 Neutral and Blush Combo palette- 19.95 (on amazon)...can also be found on http://www.coastalscents.com/.
(26 eyeshadow and 5 blush colors)..these can be also interchanged and the eyeshadow used as a blush highlight color. I recommend for those not to into colored eyeshadow...extremely pigmented and of high quality without the price tag.
I hope this helps some of you and questions feel free leave a comment response :)
