My Go-To Fall Look | 2014

Hello hellooo! My go-to fall look is up on my channel, and on this post I will give all of the details AND CHEAPER alternatives to the makeup that I used. This is my first time that I will be doing this, and I really hope y'all like it and that it helps. I know makeup can be super pricey so it is always good to find cheaper alternatives that do a great job as well! :) This makeup look, like I said, is my GO-TO look to wear in the fall and winter. I love a warm smokey eye and a dark lip! This eye look is going to look AMAZING on ANY skin tone and EYE color. I really hope y'all enjoyed the video.

PRODUCTS WITH CHEAPER ALTERNATIVES (alternatives will be in purple) Keep in mind prices will vary depending where you buy them from.:
- Smashbox Photo Finish Primer/Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Primer $9.99
- Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-hour foundation $38.00/Revlon Colorstay Whipped Creme foundation $10.00-$11.00
- Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz in 'soft brown', Brow Powder Duo in 'blonde', Dipbrow Pomade in 'blonde', and the Tinted Brow Gel in 'caramel'/I am sorry, but I don't have any cheaper alternatives for the exact products I use for my brows. Brows are something that I don't mess around with, and Anastasia never lets me down. :) Drugstore brands do however have brow products, just not near as good as the ones I listed above.
- Coastal Scents Camouflage Concealer palette $16.95/Although this palette isn't too terribly expensive, Sonia Kashuk's Hidden Agenda concealer palette from Target is a GREAT dupe for it, if not better in my opinion. $10.49
- Shadows used:
- MAC 'nylon'
- MUG 'peach smoothie'
- MAC 'saddle'
- MAC 'brown script'
- Morphe #40 (matte white shadow)
 /All of my eyeshadows that I used are Makeup Geek, Morphe Brushes, and MAC. MUG eyeshadows are super affordable at $5.99 per eyeshadow. I haven't ever found any eyeshadows that are comparable to them from the drugstore. Since they are already such a great price, ESPECIALLY for the quality, I won't be listing any alternatives for them. The same goes with Morphe shadows, because they are the cheapest of them all at $2.99 per shadow! WHAT?!! When I found that out I was freaking out excited, and they are some of the most pigmented AMAZING quality shadows out there in my opinion. MAC eyeshadows however are a bit more expensive than the MUG and Morphe shadows, and I haven't found alternatives for MAC ones either. The quality and shades are just not comparable to any at the drugstore. MAC shadows are $16.00, which is a bit ridiculous for one eyeshadow, but the quality is amazing as well. So my cheaper alternative to MAC eyeshadows are DEFINITELY Makeup Geek and Morphe eyeshadows. I actually like the quality of MUG and Morphe than MAC anyways! ;)
