@ Shelley T.

We are in agreement (besides the insulting and condescending remark) That was not the intention.
I too agree with Shelly W. It is never Okay to accept mistreatment from a company no matter who they are. We are the consumers and the reason why these brands thrive!!!

I am happy to know that you agree with me about trying all makeup whether drugstore or high end. My point is that you can miss out on very good products by name branding.
After 10 years in the makeup Industry I have realized that there is value in many different products depending on what your looking for. whether your allergic, vegan etc.. research the products that you use! Do not be fooled by the elitism. :)))

I have a combination of both, i get my mascarra from a drugstore but any other else are high end. I believe it's REALLY worth your money! I noticed when i was using drugstores for my makeups, i get bored with it easily, and doesn't get what i was expecting. Unlike with the high end, it lasts and i would still get the same thing once it's finished.

Considering that I'm still in high school with limited funds, I'm a true believer in drug store brands. As long as you're conscious of the ingredients you are putting on your face, I believe you can still get great results by making good choices. :)

I usually use high end makeup as far as eyeshadow mascara and bronzer and blush. But for my foundation, I love maybelline. They have high coverage and everything.

(*Juliannie*) I wouldn't really consider thos drugstore brands.. they more soo mid end.. But i swear by all the things u have named.. U have great taste in makeup products

(*Jennifer*) Agreed i used a little Wet and Wild palette recently and the amount o pigment it possessed was amazing

(*Pamela*) Agreed my favorite Mascara's and Liners are Drugstore Brands..

(*Kitty*) your Welcomed Doll

(*Ashley*) This is something i defiantly need to invest in it... I'm gonna google them now and see if i can order online..

(*Beatrice*) I agree but however for the price of NYx it could be considered such...And I agree Wet and Wilds eyeshadow palettes have great pigment, especially with the use of a more midlevel brand or highend brand primer.. be it Mac or Urban decay.. I agree ppl sometimes fall for the hype of a name instead of the quality of the products.. Btw what a Lovely picture Nice work! XoXo

(*Brittney*) Hi Doll.. let me start by saying I love ur passion in ur Post.. But we are gonna agree to disagree.. i wouldn't Disclaim any other MAKEUP ARTIST by labeling them as lacking passion because of a simple belief. The ability to be in the same situation and have a different opinion or point of view of something is the beauty of life, Therefore that isn't really any of our place to say. I do However agree that any Artist with hopes on lasting in this industry/field should have varied brand knowledge without boundaries, I do not agree in the notion that this directly means they lack knowledge and true passion. The complete end of your post was beautifully written and 100 percent relatable ... I am glad to know that there are other artist out there that feel the same as me but i would just add that there are other reasons why ppl choose different brands.. None of which making somebody better than the next !XOXO

(*Bec*) I agree i love NYX... especially the Jumbo milk eyeliner pencil & i use nyx as a base alot. Have u tried their new brushes??? I am contemplating getting them

(*Ashley*) I agree 100% i couldn't have said it better!

(*Shelley*) I disagree with her statement aswell.. i feel like no MUA choice in brands defines who they are as an artist person... and I Love ur explanation doll! xoxo

(*Emma*) I love your Photo Doll... Its Gorg.. great work I am pretty much the same way.> i vary but i do wear lots of Highend... because i think ur face isn't something to be cheap with.. but i do like many drugstore brandsaswell.... it depends on quality for me

(*Victoria*) I agree I love high end things but drugstore mascaras and eyeliners are best.. What brand concealers do you prefer?

(*Jacklyn*) Agreed makeup can really be hit or miss.. it all comes down to quality

(*Jordana*) Agreed What are some of you fav products & brands doll?

(*Shelley*)I agree taht was insulting.. i understood her message but the wording wasn't right... What is your Fav Foundation Shelley.. ia m trying to find a new one to start using.

(*Britney*) Its how it came off Doll.. but as i said before the rest of your statement was completely relate-able and i agree with u and Shelley w. on the part about not accepting mistreatment from companies. & Not being fooled by elitism

(*Ashley*) soo Reviews???? how was it doll. was it worth the money???

(*Janelle*) Agreed mascara for me .. i go drugstore route but foundation i go with what i know.. highend

High end is always nice...I had to try lots of different things both high end and drug store to find my perfect combo and favorite products. When money is no problem I buy what I need and want high end...when money is tight I know what drug store products work for me the same as high end.

(*@Beatrice*) The best Makeup Artist brushes to me are Bdilluim tools.... However of the lower price brands.. i would say Elf's professional brushes are pretty foul proof.. i haven't tried NYX's latest brush set yet but i am hearing great things

(*Toni*) What are some of your favorite products and brands doll?

I like both mid-end and drugstore. I believe in investing in foundation and concealer, so I will buy Nars/Bobbi Brown/ MUFE for that. I also like some of urban decay's offerings. I will never buy a mascara thats more than 8-9 bucks- especially not when I throw away mascara every 2 months. I will occasionally buy a MAC lipglass, but most of my lippies are drugstore. Eyeshadow can either be drugstore or highend. Most of my collection is drugstore , because um hello , I get an employee discount lol

The only high end things I own are foundation/brushes, and eyeshadow/primer, because I find they are generally better for your skin and better looking/feeling on it, too.
Eyeliners, are iffy, I think both high end and drugstore have great ones, same with blush.
A translucent powder is a translucent powder, to me. I think high end mascaras are a waste of money, because there are SO many amazing drugstore mascaras.
Drugstore lipsticks, liners, and glosses are also great. If there was going to be one thing I would splurge on that I already don't, it would be my skincare. cleansers, moisturizers, ect. So basically, I have a mix of both, whatever works for me. I'm definitely not a snob about drugstore products; there are many great ones out there.
