Expensive Makeup Products Worth Buying

This list of expensive makeup products worth buying will enable you to spend your money wisely on products that you will love and get much use out of. I try to avoid high-end products that are easy to use up, like foundations and concealers, because products such as palettes go a lot further.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Blush Trios

Anytime that I am doing a high-end look or traveling with makeup, I reach for these. The shades of whatever trio I select always work with my outfit, and I can blend the shades together for more options. These last all day with plenty of pigmentation. Simply dip your brush in, tap off the excess, and you can avoid an overly intense blush look. The trios featured here are Cocktail Party, Berry Adore, Peachy Love, and Pool Party.

Tory Burch Love Relentlessly and YSL Libre

Tory Burch’s Love Relentlessly is a romantic floral scent that I cannot get enough of. It originally peaked my interest when I used a sample version that I could still smell after a shower.

YSL’s Libre fragrance mixes warm florals with orange blossom and musk accord. Not many fragrances push me over the edge of a repurchase, but something about this one really speaks to me.

Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray and Original Eyeshadow Primer Potion

All Nighter Setting Spray really does match the hype. How often do you find a setting spray that actually enables your makeup to last longer? This one absolutely does! For a bullet-proof face, I always turn to All Nighter, and I am fully stocked up. Of course, it also melts your makeup together and makes your highlight pop.

The Original Eyeshadow Primer Potion is the not-so-secret high-end eyeshadow primer that kills it. I promise you that your eyeshadow will not fade or crease all day, even if you are using a lackluster eyeshadow. It pats right into the skin, and you are ready to go. Truly, this primer is the real deal.

Nars Laguna Bronzer and Smashbox Photo Finish Primer

Laguna Bronzer is another highly loved product, and now I see why. The hue is a light, gentle brown that looks amazing on my fair skin. I get the perfect bronze but it never looks heavy or muddy. There is a slight shimmer to it, but that does not upset me because it really aids in giving you that sun-kissed look.

I cannot name many primers that I think actually extend the wear time of makeup, but Smashbox’s Photo Finish Primer really does! Your face will be smoothed out and lightly blurred as a result of using this primer. For special occasions or times when I really need my makeup to look on point and last, this is the primer I must use.

Smashbox x Becca Shimmer Skin Perfector Pressed Highlighters

I have both Champagne Pop and Opal. These will give you a glow for miles. I use these for special occasions, but I honestly like them for daily wear, too. Talk about a fresh glow that sits on the skin well.

Stila Glitter & Glow Liquid Eye Shadow

All the hype is true. They provide the perfect pop of glitters and metallics to your eyes. You can use them anywhere on the eye, and they are very easy to work with. The formula completely dries down so that it does not budge, crease, crack, or fade all day, but you can work with it before it does dry. At the end of the day, they will look as great as they do at initial application.

Anastasia Beverly Hills Eyeshadow Palettes

For the most part, I collect these, and I am blessed to say that I cannot fit them all in one photo! My favorites are Soft Glam and Modern Renaissance, but they are all great. These palettes never do me wrong. The formula is super soft and blendable, with an amazing amount of pigmentation. You can wet the shimmers, but they do pack a major punch dry. I also have major love for the Norvina Pro Pigment Palette Volume 1.

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Palettes

I make a point to collect as many as possible, because I believe Urban Decay makes some of the best eyeshadows on the market. The picture below features a variety of palettes, because my point is that they are all good, whether they are mini or large. My favorite Naked palette is Naked Heat. Urban Decay produces shadows that literally blend themselves with supreme pigmentation. You can almost guarantee that I am using an Urban Decay palette on a special occasion.

Shop The Selections

Drugstore makeup always holds a special place in my heart because I am cheap, so you know these products are the real deal if I am willing to buy them personally. What is your all-time favorite high-end product? Until next time, continue to let your true beauty shine.
