Makeup can be difficult to source. You have to navigate the different brands, compare costs, and watch out for any fakes which may be out there. All that is before you even start considering the many shades, sizes and types of makeup online. There are so many choices that something which should be fun can have you tearing your hair out! For someone who doesn’t purchase makeup regularly, it can be extremely overwhelming, when you’re faced with making decisions about makeup online and you don’t have the products in front of you. All you can do is take a breath and choose carefully.

The first thing to consider when you purchase makeup, is your budget. There are a lot of different brands and their cost can range from a few bucks to hundreds of dollars, so it really does depend on the size of your wallet. Purchasing expensive brands from a shop with a well-groomed assistant to help you, does not necessarily mean that you will purchase something awesome, just as searching for cheap online makeup does not necessarily mean that you will purchase something of low quality. (Just make sure you’re not buying a fake version of a high-end makeup!)
Buying a palette is one of the best ways to get value for money. Check out Dose of Colors to see. Once you know your budget, and what you are looking for, if you do a thorough search, you can find the brands you know and love. However much money you have to spend, you are sure to find something suitable to buy, within your price range.
Once you have your budget, you have to decide what kind of makeup you are looking for. If you’re looking for colors that are best suited for daytime, then you may want to select neutral tones of blusher, bronzer and eyes shadow, as well as a minimal concealer and a light lipstick. However, searching for makeup online will also point you towards much darker tones of lipstick, and eye shadows, which will make you look fabulous in the evening.
Don’t forget to have a look at contouring and perfect your eyeliner for that modern look. You can really have fun mixing and matching all kinds of colors and shades, looking for that perfect set of eye shadows, blushers or bronzers to purchase for your makeup bag. You will also find plenty of offers on individual pieces, if you just want to buy a new lipstick, or mascara to your collection. Why not be a little adventurous, add something a different and go for a completely new shade?
Finding makeup online isn’t any good without all the extras you need to create the perfect look. Most makeup brands will also sell accessories so you can apply the makeup, and other extras so you can really create the perfect look for any occasion.
Brushes of all shapes and sizes can be found, long angled brushes for applying your eye shadow, short soft Kabuki brushes for applying powered foundation and bronzer, and small sponge ended brushes for creating that smudged, smoky look. Have a look at buying a pack of brushes, which can be used for all your applying needs. There are eyelash curlers for making your eyelashes appear extended. You can also buy false eyelashes, which you can apply, carefully, to extend those lashes even more, making your eyes really stand out.
My last tip is this- I think it’s actually better to buy your makeup (especially something like foundation) in the store first. That way you know the color works for you! Then by all means, order online! What is your favorite online beauty retailer?
