Try walking into the cosmetic section of your local department store and you’ll be blown away by rows after rows of lipsticks — gel, liquid, pencil, matte and cream — piled up against a stack of eye palettes, foundations, blush, bronzers, contouring creams, concealers — it’s impossible to list every cosmetic product available!
What you want vs. what you really need
Anybody who knows how to put on makeup will tell you to use only what you need. It’s hard not to be lured into buying an iridescent lipstick with the latest face of Hollywood speaking to you as the brand ambassador, or a shimmery eye shadow that apparently caught the attention of some handsome guy in suit as suggested by the product ad.

Rule No. 2: Make up for what you don’t have. The trick is to fake it but to leave people with the impression it’s real. Get it?
Rule No. 3: Stop — you do not need anything more. With so many products around screaming in to your face, “You need me! Use me!” it’s can be difficult to put on the brakes.
