Max Factor
Find a flawless foundation that blends perfectly with your skin tone. Max Factor is always my favorite. Some prefer others that's fine. Max Factor though has different types of foundation for your choosing. The pancake, pancake stick, liquid foundation, and a foundation that dries into a powder. They are a great price for something that covers everything. Also if you choose not to use a foundation a moisturizer that has a tint to it can cover some while it hydrates the skin.
Step2
Using a blush stick or powder blush if the right shade is chosen can make you look as though you bought the most expensive brand out there.
Step3
Mascara has come a long way. Even the off brand mascaras can provide the volume and length you so desire. N.Y.C. brand is a good choice.
Step4
Lip balm, and lip gloss can give you the look you desire without paying a fortune.
Step5
Adding a clear coat of nail polish to costume jewelry will keep it from turning your finger or neck green so that no one can tell that it's not real.
Step6
Looking at the new fashions can help give you an idea of what's in style and searching through your closet can be a way of finding items that can be placed together to achieve that style.
Step7
Or if you just have to have the best, try going to your local goodwill and buying name brand clothes at a fraction of the price.
Tips & Warnings
Having a yard sale to earn the money to buy the looks you want can help you get there easier than just wishing for it to happen.
