How do you justify buying expensive makeup?

I have to buy those expensive hypoallergenic mascaras because I'm allergic nowadays to almost every eye product... Other makeup I try to find cheaper options.

You only live once, so you should try to make yourself feel as amazing as possible while you can. for some thats make up, for me its cool clothing and skin care.

My foundation costs 40 euros from Nars. I justify this crazy price because I can’t find my shade anywhere else  plus it makes me look natural. I bought it I think 2 or 4 years ago and because I only use two dots of it, it lasts a very long time. Im half a bottle now. So to me it’s justifiable.

i have two Anastasia Beverly hills eyeshadow palettes (will never buy from her again she loves Putin). Bought these two for 50 euros. To me it was an okay price because the quality is superior, plus u get two with all the colors I need. 
For the rest I dont buy anything expensive. To me in my opinion, you can justify buying a kinda expensive foundation because it’s the most important part of ur makeup. The rest can be easily bought in drugstore they r great quality too

Hi.

where i live is getting very hot, we are in a heat wave right now.

i already use matte moisturizer and matte sunscreen but i still get oily during the say and i can't stand it.

can you reccomend me something that is invisible on the skin and controls shine and oils during the day? i need it to be totally invisible and high quality since i don't want zits or clogged pores, thanks, xx. 

Makeup Forevers Step 1 oil control primer is great for the T zone area

charlotte tilbury flawless finish setting powder is one my frequent go tos 

also urban decays settings sprays are temperature controlled and great for hot climate.

I spend more on foundation, concealer, setting powder, eyeshadows and skincare. It's better quality and kinder to your skin. Other products like brow pencils, mascara, blush, highlight and bronzer I tend to buy cheaper.

You can find cheap makeup that's really good, but often I regret buying cheaper because I just end up not really liking it.

when i buy something expensive, i simply switch my brain off during the processing transaction stage and forget it happened

And then I worry my account got hacked when I see my balance 

Just me?
