Beauty

A foundation sets the stage for the rest of your beauty routine. It not only disguises imperfections but also improves your skin with nourishing ingredients. You might think that a product that does so much should cost an arm and a leg. However, you can buy many quality foundations for less than $20.

Eyeshadow has been around for at least 12,000 years, but it’s come a long way since ancient Egyptians invented the smoky-eye effect. Given the variety offered by Too Faced, Lorac, Tarte, MAC, Smashbox, and dozens of other manufacturers, you can get just about any look you want.

While it’s true that a full one-third of women refuse to appear in public without makeup and one-quarter of teen girls are wearing cosmetics by their thirteenth birthday, purchasing products can be expensive! In fact, the cosmetic industry sells almost $57 billion in products every year, so women clearly find makeup worth the expense – despite the fact that a single high-end cosmetic product can cost $50 or more.
