Make up secrets to save from a pro

Pre make up (post cut)

Post make up (and blow dry)

Anthea King did my make up on the Better Homes and Garden set yesterday and she shared lots of great money-saving secrets while painting my face. Anthea is a big fan of drug store make up, believe it or not. Three of her favorite drugstore products  that she chooses over pricier, designer brands are…

  • Aquaphor healing ointment from Eucerin. “All the pros use it,” Anthea said while dabbing it on my lips. It’s about $5 for 1.75 ounces.
  • Maybelline Volum’ Express Mascara. “It’s my favorite mascara,” she said, applying coats on my top and bottom eyelashes.
  • Covergirl bronzer. “The thing you want to avoid with bronzer is anything orange-y,” Anthea said while rubbing a bit on her hand. The Covergirl bronzer left a warm sheen on her hand. “There’s nothing else like it on the market.”

But Anthea does not buy all her make up from the drugstore. Products that come in close contact with skin,like foundation and moisturizer, she pays more for.
