The best makeup for you on a budget: the cheap products

Beauty inflation has become the new hot word in the beauty world with rising interest rates and soaring food prices. Because the beauty of makeup is that there are so many goodies you can find that fit even the smallest budget, when there really isn’t room to spend thousands of dollars on your makeup. Development here has gone at rocket speed, and while you may not get the prettiest packaging, the contents are often of a really high class. Here I have selected some stars that have been released in recent years.

The difference between cheap and expensive makeup

You can really find really good makeup for cheap these days, like the above products. But there are some things that can still make a difference. In addition to the packaging, which is often well thought out and more luxurious with more expensive brands, many nowadays emphasize skin care effects. Here I would like to say that the more expensive makeup is often more edgy. Among the cheaper brands, there may be skin care ingredients, but often in small doses that don’t make much of a difference.

Another difference is that new technology usually appears in the more expensive products first. Having said that, it then flows between a budget configuration and now that evolution is going so fast, you don’t have to wait long for that to happen.
