Giving Your Budget a Makeover
When your budget feels too tight, you should re-examine some of your variable expenses — like makeup. This is a non-essential expense that you can shrink for the sake of savings.
These savings can be put to great use! You can use them to pad out your budget or you can put them in an emergency fund to help you manage unexpected expenses. This will give you more financial security so that you don’t have to borrow funds anytime something goes wrong.
How Can You Save Money on Makeup?
1. Use What You Have
Do you really need new makeup? Empty out your makeup bag and look at all of the products you have. It’s likely that you have a ton of products to work with — some you might’ve even forgotten about.
2. Extend the Lifespan
By extending the lifespan of your products, you can save yourself money. Revive dried-out mascara by putting eye drops or contact lens solution into the tube. Fix crumbled powders by adding isopropyl rubbing alcohol and mixing them together. Empty lipstick and lip gloss tubes so that you get every last bit of it.
3. Skip High-End Products
High-end products come with high price tags. You shouldn’t buy them. You can find plenty of dupes (duplicates of higher-end products) at low, low prices in drugstores and online.
4. Use Coupons
5. Test It First
One quick way to save money on makeup is to test it before you buy it. That way, you don’t waste your cash on something that doesn’t suit your skin tone, your eye color or your sense of style. If you’re not absolutely in love with it, don’t buy it.
6. Do Your Research
It can be hard to test out products that you buy online. In that case, you can use research to help you figure out whether the purchase will be worth it or not. Read the customer reviews and ratings to see what they say about the product. If it has mixed reviews, you should pass.
7. Practice Skinimalism
You don’t have to give up on your love of makeup for the sake of your finances. You can enjoy it and stay on budget.
