Is expensive makeup better than the cheap stuff at the stores?

Do you think more expensive makeup is better quality brand?Is expensive makeup better than the cheap stuff at the stores?
quality is better than quantity.





the more expensive products have been thoroughly tested and the companies have large budgets for research and development.





so therefore you get what u pay forIs expensive makeup better than the cheap stuff at the stores?
Well, sometimes more expensive makeups are better quality. I think some mascaras that are cheaper at drug stores work fine, and you don't need to buy a really expensive mascara...well, I have long eyelashes so I don't really need mascara. You should try different makeups out, and whichever one works best for you or you like best is the one you should get...so you may like a foundation or concealor from a drug store that may be cheaper. So, I'd have to say, expensive makeup isn't always better than cheaper makeup, and it's your opinion if you like the expensive makeup better, or the cheaper makeup.
Yes most of the time especially with foundations and eye liners!!! but stuff like lip gloss and eye shadows dont reallly matter too much!
Have you heard of Paula Begoun? She has a website called cosmeticscop.com and a book called ';Don't Go to the Cosmetics Counter Without Me.'; She tests make up from all the major brands, as well as performing a scientific analysis of its ingredients and reports on its quality. She finds that there is no correlation between good quality cosmetics and price. She finds high quality cosmetics at both the drug store and the department store, and awful quality cosmetics at both places, too.





Also, bear in mind that most companies have both a department store brand and a drugstore brand. For instance, L'Oreal and Lancome are the same company. Many companies take a formula and package it in an expensive container at a high price in the department store, then put the same formula in a cheap container in the drug store. That way, they get profit from those who are duped into thinking that expensive equals better, as well as profit from the more thrifty.
cheap make up makes u break out
it depends on skin care and foundations I would invest and spend some money for,however lipsticks eye shadows and pencils you can get away with drug store purchased items if it is applied properly.
yes, the quality is better for the more expenisive ones.
Tyra did a show on this and proved that its not.....however i still prefer M.A.C, lancome, chanel and sephora stuff.....maybe its the packaging but i do think that the quality (in the expensive stuff) is better sometimes
mostly, yah
if there is one thing i have learnt in this life is.... you get what u pay for. that applies to everything on the consumer market. including makeup
