This is a guest post under the series : Playing Dressup on a Budget 

Ever since I was a little girl, I loved makeup. I remember when I was about six, I found my mom’s makeup left out and proceeded to “make my self pretty,” painting purple eye shadow all over my face. Needless to say, my mom was not amused when she got home, haha!(: After that incident, the fun I had applying makeup stayed with me, and my love of foundations and eye shadows only grew with age.

Makeup can be so expensive, but looking your best does NOT have to come with the designer price tag. Here are some of my favorite makeup essentials (most of which you can find at your local drug store!) that can help you look like a million bucks, for less than $30.

Xoxo,  Taylor
