* Always try to purchase the products that are available in a single, convenient pack. This will save you the money from buying them separately.



* A multi-task product can be another good option, if you are on a budget. For instance, a shimmer can be used to add sparkle to your eyes as well as your cheeks.

* A number of makeup products can be made at home, from easily available materials. For instance, you can use a mixture of vinegar and water to add shine to your hair. Also, you can make your own hairspray by adding 2 tablespoon of sugar to a 12 oz spray bottle of water.

* A mixture of honey and oatmeal can work as a natural scrub and be effectively used to cure your blackheads.

* Another great way to cut down the expenses on your make-up products is by obtaining free samples. Certain cosmetic sites and brands offer free samples and getting them is quite easy. You simply have to go to the link on the home page, for free samples.

* One of the best ways to lower the expenses is by avoiding ‘complete’ makeup every day and trying to highlight only a single feature at a time. This mainly depends on the occasion you are attending.

* Choose products depending on their need and importance. For instance, if you have a fair complexion, you can consider saving money on products like concealers, fairness creams, compact powders and foundations. Avoiding such products will also give you a more natural look.

* It is a known fact that smart shopping is always better than impulsive purchases. Try to look for products that provide offers like a free lip-gloss on purchase of your favorite eye-liner and the like.
