Because the creams and powders come in dainty cases and tubes with different brushes, makeup can be applied in a certain way with certain tastes and styles. As an instance of this, each Sunday morning, when I prepare for churchgoing, my makeup bag appears on my dresser, ready to add some flare to my features. Usually, I prefer a natural, fresh look: a bit of length added to my eyelashes, a creamy colored eyeshadow, brushed on with a light hand, and a small amount of facial highlighting. There does, however, come a time when I feel a bit more daring. The makeup bag, once again, appears. Occasionally, I enjoy adding petite eyeliner wings to frame my brown eyes, darker shades of eyeshadow, and a swipe of dramatic burgundy lipstick for a more distinguished pop. Taylor Swift's red lipstick could serve as another example; It has become her own iconic symbol.

In a society where our appearances are virtually everything, there is an abundance of ways to achieve the look that is wanted. Since it is pricey, and sometimes even unaffordable to get plastic surgery (undergoing a surgical procedure to restore, reconstruct, or alter the body), people decide to use makeup to get the look they are wanting. Buying makeup products can get expensive as well, but thankfully there are more affordable alternatives. For example, there are “drugstore” makeup brands, which are the products sold at Target, Walmart, or grocery stores; and, there is “high-end” makeup brands, the products sold at premium retail stores. Since not everyone can afford the high-end makeup or do not want to pay a premium price on makeup, people have found drugstore brands that mimic high-end brands. The base of all makeup is foundation, a skin-colored product that covers imperfections and makes the skin look flawless. In particular, two popular foundation brands are MAC Studio Fix Fluid, and Maybelline Fit Me Matte and Poreless. MAC is considered a luxury product, and Maybelline is a value brand. These are both great products, have very similar qualities, and in the end, will almost give the consumer the same look.
