How to Buy Quality Makeup at the Dollar Store
Don't worry about lip gloss. If it has the safety seal, it's almost always dependable. Make sure lipsticks and lip glosses are in sealed tubes with wrappers that are still intact.
Check pressed powder, powdered eye shadow and blush before buying, because these products can sometimes crack and crumble.
Skip the Dollar Store foundation unless it is a brand and shade that you already use. Be sure to check the expiration date, since most foundations aren't good after a year.
Avoid purchasing razors with the blades exposed since they can be dull and dirty. Loofahs and disposable razors are good if they are sealed.
Inspect body lotion ingredients. Lanolin, a common ingredient in generic brands, can irritate skin. Cleansers and scrubs can dry the skin too.
Avoid mascara. You don't know the expiration date, so you don't know how old it is.
Make sure that both the rubber pieces match up if you buy lash curlers.
Watch out; toners can contain harsh astringent.
Make sure all tubes are sealed. Eye/lip liner in plastic tubes can lose moisture quickly. Wooden pencils are fine as long they are sealed!
Shop for eyeliner pencils confidently. As long as they are sealed, eyeliners (which are mostly wax) won't fade or spoil and are safe to use, no matter their age. The same rule applies to eyebrow pencils and lip liner pencils.
Pick up extra makeup brushes and applicators at the Dollar Store and stash them in your purse, in the car and at the office, so you'll always look picture perfect.
Tips:
Just because it's cheap, doesn't mean that dollar store makeup is bad.
Another good brand is called Wet n' Wild, it is at many cheaper stores, [Walgreens, Target, etc.] and is good makeup, in some really fun colors. I wear it to parties and when I want to try something different. Some of their makeup is over a dollar, but is still very economical.
Believe it or not, you might even find some brand-name products for sale at the dollar store! But make sure to check these products over very carefully because they may have been surplus from a discontinued line and could be out of date. Covergirl and Maybelline are always reliable.
Don't be afraid to try new colors. If the color is the wrong choice, you've only lost a dollar.
Stretch your budget further by letting your Dollar Store makeup do double duty. Lipstick can act as blush in a pinch and eyebrow pencils work fine as eyeliners.
Avoid buying mascara at the Dollar Store. It ages fast (it expires in about three months) and gets thick and lumpy, which is not a good look on anyone. Plus, old mascara can irritate eyes.
