Autumn is nearly here, and we all know that means parties and nights out, Halloween and student living. These can all break the bank, especially if you want to look good. So, from making products last to buying only what you need, here’s how to save money on makeup.
Keep a Lookout for Deals
Deals are your best friend when you want to save cash, and makeup deals don’t come around that often. Fortunately, many major brands, department stores and even supermarkets offer great deals on makeup in the run-up to national holidays like Christmas. Shopping online also has its perks, and you can get things like lash extensions from great brands such as BELO lash with generous buy 5 get 1 free. Good deals often don’t last long, though, so watch like a hawk.
Make Products Last Longer
So many people throw things out before they are used up. This is often because they don’t store them well or use them correctly, such as soap. And makeup is no different. In the UK alone, the makeup industry is worth almost £40 billion, so don’t give them more than they already need. Make your products last as long as possible to save some cash. This means not pumping mascara, squeezing out all liquid makeup and pushing broken eyeshadow back together.
Save Money on Makeup with Loyalty Cards
You know that card you have had in your purse for ten years? You could have had tons of discounts and free stuff if you remembered to use it. Loyalty cards are there for a reason, and that reason is savings. UK stores like Boots are quite generous when it comes to seasonal savings with stuff like makeup, and you can get member-only discounts as well. Autumn can be expensive as you save for or buy Christmas presents, so get creative when out shopping.
Don’t Buy Unnecessary Expensive Stuff
Like most things, it isn’t necessary to buy the most expensive products you see when it comes to makeup. Of course, good quality, reliable and safe makeup brands are recommended. But you don’t need a £100 blush brush with some guy’s name on it when a £2 one from your local supermarket can do the exact same job. Go through your makeup bag and pick out the things you don’t require to be top-notch. You will find that all your accessories fall into this category.
Follow Influencers for Codes
If you like to watch makeup tutorials online on social media and YouTube, then find the most watched influencers for great discounts. When brands ask influencers to test their products, which is just advertising them more often than not, they also offer codes. Influencers will pass these codes onto viewers so you can use them. These are often unique deals that you can’t get anywhere else, and they can be very generous around seasonal holidays like Halloween.
Summary
Being aware of seasonal deals is a great way to save money on makeup. It’s also essential that you remember to use loyalty cards. And follow makeup influencers for unique discounts.
