OK, how about a little cheapy treat? I need to tell you about my new
current favorite product of all time for the moment. I got this
eyeliner, see... Yeah. It's e.l.f. (shocker, I know), and it is just an
extraordinary product.
The Essentials Waterproof Eyeliner Pen
(2$ each!) is not like any other eyeliner I've ever had. I don't know if it's the applicator tip or the liquid's chemical makeup or what, but I've never used anything like it. It's not exactly a liquid
liner, but it's definitely not a pencil. It's filled with a thick, inky liquid like regular liquid liners, but you don't dip a brush into a pot of paint to apply it, and it doesn't act like liquid eyeliner at all. It's like all pigment or
something... closer to a henna, maybe, than anything else; it's really
hard to describe. But it. is. awesome.

Cheap makeup is cheap - WASH YER FACE YALL
All you brokeass babes and cheap chicks absolutely rocking cheap makeup want to be able to keep doing so, right? Then there is one hugely important thing you need to do, and do CORRECTLY!
The main thing that allows you to get away with using cheap makeup is taking good care of your skin. I'm sure that, unless you have some amazing genetics, you've seen and felt the effects of nasty cheapo makeup on your face. Pimples in droves, discolored patches, oiliness, and... well, I could go on but I won't gross you out.
A lot of people think that if they have sensitive, oily, acne-prone, or otherwise less than perfect skin, then they cannot wear cheap makeup and have to spring for more expensive, "better" stuff. But that's not true!
Anyone can totally get away with wearing cheap makeup, even cheap, off-brand liquid foundation and all-over powder, as long as you take proper care of your skin. When you know how to properly use them, there are only a few products that you absolutely need:
As you probably know, for every fancy schmancy designer product there is, there's an equivalent (or even an identical, re-branded but made in the same factory and all) version that costs way less. There's always a better deal out there. And if you're here, that's what you're looking for, right?! Right.
Now I have very oily and pimply skin. That may lead you to believe that I'm actually not taking the best care of my skin, but I disagree! Well, okay I should probably be more religious with my full regimen, but whatever... I'm 33 years old, and I've had really horrible acne all my life up to now. These days, I just have a bit of acne sometimes - acne that's quite easily covered cosmetically - and my skin has never looked better, more even and clear, or softer. And mind you, my skin is nicer now that I've gone from no makeup ever to actually wearing cheap stuff regularly! If you have dry or combination skin, or if you happen to have perfect skin (and I totally hate you for that :P), then my specific products might not work for you. YMMV and all that. Do keep reading, though, because the basics and how to use them are all the same.
Read on for all the details!
