| Just don't let her buy ANYTHING from Five Below or the dollar store - DD tried this as a young teen and her face turned bright red and swollen. She fessed up and I explained why she should never buy makenup from one of those places |

My first lipstick at 16 was MAC Why bc they offered extended shades for humans who aren’t White. |
| Do NOT get Mac. It’s heavier and more for people who are skilled at makeup . An ulta gift card for $100 would be a great place to start because even drugstore brands release different / better products at Ulta than the ones they stock at Target or CVS. If you really want to buy the actual products, go look up Shelby Ann on TikTok / she does an entire look with drugstore products that is especially suited to younger people with smooth skin. |
| Did no one where drug store makeup at a teen? That is literally all anyone I knew wore. Aside from maple the Clinique gift with purchase my mother or grandmother would pass on it me. It’s fine, really it is. Take her to Walgreens or Ulta and let her pick some stuff |
Teens today don’t wear drugstore makeup. I personally have never used that crap. |
|
Elf or Nyx is where you want to start. MAC foundation is like $45!!!
Target is the sweet spot for this. |
Uh, yes, yes they do. Maybe not in richy-rich DCUM land, but here in normal land, yes, they buy at CVS. |
This. |
They do but not the regular cheap Almay, Revlon etc. More the younger Target and Ulta brands and mix it up with more higher end products as well. |
It’s all the same crap. Don’t fool yourself |
If Elf is not a drugstore brand I don't know what is, and girls at DD's mid-price private are obsessed with it... |
I’ve never even set foot in that store. Yuck! |
The girls at our public like Saie, Charlotte Tillbury, Rare Beauty, and Rhode. Elf is really only for lipgloss. |
Then how are the makeup counters in department stores and places like Sephora still in business? Obviously no one believes they are the same. Keep fooling yourself. |
