Would you like to find some great deals on make-up? This article covers where I go and what brands I get for lower priced make-up.

Difficulty: Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • a nearby discount store--such as Dollar Tree or a clearance sale
  • money for purchase
  1. Step 1

    One of the best places I go for inexpensive make-up is Dollar Tree. They carry a brand called Aziza and some other types of make-up. I especially love the two packs of 3 in 1 jumbo pencils with free sharpeners. These are great for people like me who have an allergy to powdered eye make-up and have a budget.

  2. Step 2

    Kmart has the ELF brand make-up. I get my skin tone cover stick there. These are also $1.00 in price just like the dollar store.

  3. Step 3

    Try make-up such as Wet 'n Wild, NYC, or Bon Bons from any store. They are pretty inexpensive and do the job nicely.

  4. Step 4

    Dig through clearance bins of make-up. I once found lipstick for under a dollar at a Shopko store doing this. If you don't care about the latest color craze these will usually do the job.

  5. Step 5

    Sally Beauty has a great line of mini-lipsticks for $.99. these are inexpensive and a great size for pocket or purse.

  6. Step 6

    Also, try getting samples or sample sizes. Avon has some great sample sizes which might be worth looking into and are even available at a great price for a pack for represenatives.

Tips & Warnings
  • This is great for people who like to make movies for online or small time movie makers as it stretches the movie's budget further.
  • Also, here's a good tip--if you buy a kit with powder eye shadow in it but can't use it or want a dual purpose for it, feel free to use the eye shadow as blush. I've done this and it looks just as good as blush.
  • With free samples, don't be greedy. It will likely hard to get more if a lot are taken but no larger sizes are ever bought.

on 3/1/2008 The elf brand is great for those people looking to dress it up at a low cost. Who knew looking good could cost so much.
