Salvation Army Thrifted Top: $2.25 Advent Flea Market  Thrifted pants: $.10 Goodwill Thrifted Shoes: $4.00

I decided to write this post due to the numerous questions  I received in my inbox about my makeup. Now you know I love MAC just as much as anyone else but MAC is expensive! Ain’t nobody got time for that!  I always try to experiment with different drugstore brands since they are within my budget.  If you are new to makeup I definitely suggest this option. Why spend a lot of money if you are learning?  If you are unsure about what to buy watch a few YouTube videos and head out to your nearest drugstore.

Now, I have no professional training in makeup. I think you learn a thing or two after gluing your eyes shut one too many times with eyelashes or when your photos come out ghostly from too light foundation. It’s all trial & error! Below are my top 10 I used to create this look!

1. Black Opal Au Chocolat Foundation: $8.95

2. Ruby Kisses Earth Setting Powder: $4.99

3. Elf Studio Blush Palette Dark: $6.00

4. L.A. Gear Pro Concealer Cool Tan: $2.99

5. Milani Flirty Fuchsia Lipstick: $4.97

6. Milani Fuchsia Lipliner: $3.49

7. Stay Matte But Not Flat Deep Dark (Contour): $9.50

8. Kiss Luxury Eyeliner:$2.99

9. Maybelline Great Lash Mascara (Blackest Black): $5.99

10. Beauty Supply Store Eyelashes (#66):$3.99

You can find all these items at your nearest drug or beauty supply store! If you purchased all of these items your total would be $55 that is only 2 things at MAC! Do you have any cost efficient makeup products you use? Feel free to share them below!
