When you are living on peanut such as student should, you tend to make the best of things while still looking dashing. If you want the MAC makeup look without the MAC price tag, here are some brands that are just has good! I am not knocking MAC, lol i love me some MACCC! But sometimes my wallet doesnt love it, so i find the next best thing.
.Long wear lip stick very close to MAC ruby woo and doesn't dry up like WOO


This is a  long lasting wear matted lip stick, i only need one application for the whole day. less than $3

$7
For super coverage and light feel. Bit oily if you have oily skin so primer and white powder will do the trick



Yes for primer! It has the same chemical makeup as Smashbox's primer and my test shows that it keeps my makeup in place longer.
Monistat 4 buck, smachbox 44? hmm yea.






Works just as well as studio fix. whole set less then 30




It's best to apply makeup with brushes to give you that flawless look.



Best oil control
WHITE POWDER! Top PRIMER BEFORE FOUNDATION.
