Favorite makeup, face wrinkle solvers: What works, what doesn’t?

Posted by Funcountess @funcountess, Jun 6, 2020

So many high priced make ups out in retail, does the drug store make up work as well as the high priced brands?

Hello and hope all are well. I have one hi end skin lotion Estee Swiss Extract I have used for 34 years & feel it has been as active as any other promise on my skin. Recently diagnosed with Copd I am glad to say I can still rely on my Estee Swiss Extract as so much in my life has become limited dur to Copd . I feel if it makes a person smile with confidence it is so very worth the splurge . Regards and Blessings

What works for your skin is the important thing. I got tired of the expensive makeups also. Target has good brands moderly priced, so started using Julep brand. My skin is normal/dry.as we age our skin gets dryer, so moisturizers are important.
OLAY is another good product, and moderate in price.
I have a liquid foundation and a powder blush both from Chanel. Let me tell you, both are very drying on the skin.they were a holiday gift, would I buy them on my own?NO WAY. The only good thing I can say about them is the good looking box they came in.
Take care

Hello! I know I am late to the party, but I can relate to so many of the same things! My gosh!

My daughter got me the same liquid foundation for my bday from Chanel and I agree. Too dry! I am a gal in my early 60's now so you're right that things just seem to dry out with time. After I finally was able to empty the Chanel gift, I started trying the Flower Beauty Serum Foundation and it's been really good so far. Highly recommend it. I think I got it at Target or Ulta for like $15.

El Cheap-O Rides Again: Makeup at lower prices
THEN
On eyeliner, brows, and mascara, I used to spin $100 plus on these three. Ugh!
Also, wore budget breaking facial make-up. Not anymore!
NOW
I order from Amazon or go to Target or drug stores.
I wear Maybelline sometimes Cover Girl or what is on sale.
Night Creams Cera Ve. Splurge Sephora ($50) *
Lipsticks Maybelline or L’Oréal or PDL (great!) on Amazon ($22)
Japanese skin creams on Amazon are reasonable
Drug store body creams like CeraVe are good
Check sales or http://www.self.com or drugstores.
*Sephora interesting. Made in Paris. Originally owned by Louis Vuitton.
Amazing products mid priced at times. Watch sales here.
Here’s to avoiding high prices and lookin’ good with a lower budget!
