If you are a makeup lover like I am, you know that keeping up with all the latest beauty trends isn’t cheap. Let’s face it, makeup products are quite expensive and especially makeup products from luxury brands. That doesn’t mean we have to only dream about owning brands like Kevin Aucoin, Tom Ford or Nars. I’m going to share with you my favorite places for purchasing high-end makeup at discounted prices. These stores and sites have everything you’ll need from foundation to eye shadows and even skincare products. Here are my top 5 shops that will keep your budget in check while feeling fabulous.
1. The Cosmetics Company Store
At the Cosmetics Company Store, you’ll find cosmetics, makeup tools, skincare and hair care products from brands like Tom Ford, Aveda, Jo Malone London and much more. This place is a one stop shop in my opinion! The Cosmetics Company Store is typically located inside premium outlet malls nationwide.
2. Off Saks Fifth Avenue
Off Saks Fifth Avenue is another gem for high-end makeup! They typically carry a wide range of foundation shades, eyeshadows and luxury skincare. Think brands like Burberry, By Terry and Smashbox.
3. Nordstrom Rack
Nordstrom Rack has a great selection of eye and lip products from brands like Stila, Urban Decay, Becca and more. The best part is you can shop these products online and still grab your items at a great price!
4. Hautelook
Speaking of online shopping, Hautelook is a fantastic site where you can find a multitude of cosmetic brands up to 75% off. Every day they post new deals which means you get to shop brands like Cover FX and different K-Beauty products. I suggest you check their site mornings because if you wait too long you could miss out on some great deals. Another bonus is they are part of the Nordstrom family so if you don’t like something, it can be returned to Nordstrom or Nordstrom Rack in-store.
5. QVC
This one might be surprising but believe it or not, QVC has some of the best deals for makeup sets. You can purchase combo packages from brands such as Tatcha, Tarte, Guerlain and much more. Not only can you get discounted prices but many of their items can be purchased on a payment plan.
