Alright babes, let’s get real with tips to saving money on makeup. We wear makeup EVERYDAY…well most days :), so why not save money doing it? Ever since discovering Maskcara IIID Foundation, I’ve saved so much dough! I don’t know about you, but I can blow hundreds of dollars in Sephora. No more!

Tips to Saving Money on Makeup

Tip #1: Three Words…Double Decker Compact

Ok, let me break it down for you. (Insert Justin Bieber beats and mini dance party…ok continue.) Before I discovered Maskcara Beauty I was using:

• Laura Mercier – Silk Foundation: $48
• TOO FACED Bronzer: $30
• TOO FACED Peach Blush: $30
• Urban Decay NAKED Pallet 1: $54
• Urban Decay NAKED Pallet 2: $54
• NARS Lip Gloss: $26
• NARS Lipstick: $28 (Close to $125 because who can have just one? 🙂 )
• Contour Brush: $34
• Foundation Brush: $34

All of this totals $434! You could save $386 if you simplified your makeup to Maskcara IIID Foundation. The standard quad compact is $48 and contains your highlight, contour, blush AND illuminator. There alone you save $60! Plus if you wanted to further invest up front, opt for the double decker pallet and put all of your eye shadow AND foundation in one. Easy travel kit! <3

Tip #2: Two-in-One Brushes

Maskcara offers the bomb-digitty 30 Second HAC Brush…and it’s amazing! It combines your foundation and powder brush into one. I use one side for my highlight and the other for my blush, contour and setting powder. , By simplifying to the HAC brush, from the brushes I was using, I save $35.

• I Shadow Everything Brush

Tip #3: Primer & Setting Spray

Why spend money on makeup to have it wear off before the day is over? Finding the best primer and setting spray will help save you money and time in the long run. No more reapplying over and over again throughout the day. Keep the masterpiece!

Some of my favorites:

• Urban Decay De-Slick Oil Control Setting Spray $15
• BECCA Evermatte Poreless Primer $15
• SMASHBOX Iconic Photo Finish Foundation Primer $16

If you have questions about color matching, email me! I can color match anywhere in the country. 🙂 Let’s save some money and spend it on a trip to the Bahamas. Who’s with me?!

Be your own kind of beautiful!

Happy Wednesday babes!
