So when it comes down to makeup. What are the things you go for when it comes to drug store makeup vs high end?
Just wanna hear some suggestions :)

For high end I tend to splurge in foundations, setting powders, concealers, primers, and eyeshadows. For drugstore I like to try out the same things as high end but mostly just buy mascara, lipsticks, and mascara.

I have yet to try a high end lipstick, and for sure will once I'm off my no buy.

I splurge on primers, foundations, brow products, and eyeshadows. I probably will never splurge on mascara. It's about half and half with lip products, powder, and eyeliners. 😊

I like to splurge on things that I'm going to wear very often and that are coming in direct contact with my skin.
So, primer, concealer, and foundation.
But things with low shelf life (mascara) or things that can be primed to stay longer (like eyeshadow or lipstick) are things I like to save on.

If I find drugstore products I like I'll use them. I don't ever buy high end mascara, because I wear falsies all the time. I'll buy drugstore lip products here and there, mostly from NYX and I love NYX gel liner. My skin is super sensitive so I'm particular about what I use on it

I like to splurge on basics - skincare, foundation, primer, concealer and setting stuff. I save on everything that goes on top - blushes and bronzes (although sometimes I'll splurge if it's a treat), lipstick, eyeshadow/liner, mascara etc. I like to splurge if I have some spare cash/want to treat myself though :)

I spend on highlighter (although I do have a few that are drugstore) and concealer.
I save on mascara, I have bought high end before but I tend to prefer drugstore ones. But honestly I just buy what I think is good and works well, regardless of price.

I splurge on foundations, primer, eyeshadows, bronzer, mascara, concealers, lip pencils, blush and eyebrow pencils.

Save on brow gel, powder, eyeliners and highlighters but have benefit highbeam also

Both would be lipsticks and skincare

Splurge; eyeshadow
Save: blusher, powder, mascara, concealer, brows, primer.
Both; foundation (it's worth spending the extra money but there are some pretty awesome drugstore foundations out there), eyeliner, lip products.

I'm like the opposite of everyone I spurge on products I know I won't run out of quickly. Such as eye-shadow, blush, and stuff like that. I like so save on foundation, concealer,powder etc. because I run out of those quickly and I don't want to have to splurge often
