Are there any types of beauty products you refuse to skimp on?

I mean, if I had to, I’d give it all up, in the name of financial needs, but if I just need to reduce in key areas, I’d hold out on things like skincare, foundation, eyeshadow/face primer, eyeshadow, and cheek colors. I’d say brushes but since that’s not as much of a consumable product, I...

What are the types of beauty products you'd skimp on?

What are the types of beauty products you'd skimp on?

Hair care (I don’t spend that much now, and I don’t use that many products regularly) and body care (body wash, moisturizers, scrubs). I use both affordable and expensive products in these categories, but I think I’d be happy enough with the affordable options if I needed to save money —...
