Makeup. Is it the quantity? Or the quality?
Definitely, quality. Makeup will never go out of style, so it needs to last.
The question on a lot of minds is, how do I know which quality is best?
First, you'll need to know your skin, and how your skin reacts to certain makeup products. If you're unsure of your skin type, you may consult your Dermatologist and/or Esthetician.
For those of you who don't know how to apply makeup properly, don't worry, makeup has come along way and there are plenty of different makeup products that can help with your makeup application. There are several makeup palette's on the market that have specific steps you can take, in order to apply makeup correctly. Tutorials are also great. Makeup tutorials offer everything from, makeup application, eyebrow arching, eyebrow filling, and avante garde makeup. Makeup tutorials are endless. And of course, the most obvious choice in a proper makeup application, visit a professional makeup artist.
Now, I would like to share with you my makeup choices.

As you can see, I love my Estée Lauder and Clinique products, but I also love E.L.F, which in comparison is cheaper in price. Just because a product is "cheaper" doesn't mean it isn't equipped to do the job. E.L.F is gentle on my skin and gets the job done. So I would classify E.L.F to be quality, it may be different for you. All of my makeup choices I've shared with you, I've been using for years, and will continue to use for years to come. I will also like to note, I have very sensitive skin, which I have to take into account with every product I use including makeup. With that being said, be sure to purchase the best quality makeup products, that's best for YOU.
Have fun shopping :)
Vonnah,
