In the makeup world, there is a huge misconception that the most expensive products are the better their quality. When higher price tags are plastered on high-end products, people automatically assume that the product is of quality without doing any research. Just as they would look upon drugstore makeup and assume that because the price tag on their products is lower, that product is not of quality.

When buying high-end makeup, what’s also being paid for are the other perks that come in addition to the product. The packaging, the fragrances, and the application tools are a few of the things that are included. Conversely, drugstore makeup is known for its affordability. Drugstore offers a variety of different products that are replicas of the same products that can be found in the high-end makeup store. Although they do not come with the same exquisite packaging, you're still getting the same product for less money. The highest drugstore makeup product is still cheaper than the product that costs the lowest amount in the high-end stores. I met a mother of two while shopping for makeup in the drugstore. I noticed that she was grabbing exact products instead of skimming through the aisles like I was. When I questioned her on if she prefers drugstore or high-end makeup, she told me that due to the fact that she has two kids she prefers drugstore makeup. She continued by explaining that she does like the luxury of high-end makeup, but it's too expensive while having kids. She simply learned how to achieve the same makeup results with more affordable products from the drugstore. I asked her what’s her
We all know that cosmetics existed thousands of years ago. Cleopatra used a heavy arsenal of beauty aids to help her shake the foundations of the Roman Empire. Yes, cosmetics and perfumes have a long history, but the consumer industry we live in is relatively recent, a creation of the decades 1890 through 1920. The products hawked in the 19th Century by druggists, perfumers, barbers, physicians, and a colorful assortment of other enterprising individuals were primitive by our standards. Certainly, active ingredients were used with abandon, notably arsenic, lead, and mercury. These were products that really made visible differences, and the consumer was well-advised to be wary of the majority of these mysterious concoctions.

Some people do not wear makeup everyday, so when they do, their face can appear brightened and awake, therefore they believe they look wonderful. Although many people are confident in their appearance and do not demand makeup to boost their self-esteem, wearing well-applied makeup will always make someone feel
After watching Ariana Grande’s makeup tutorial in October of 2012, a 15 year old me had established a new standard of beauty. I wanted what that girl had: her clear skin, pink cheeks, long lashes, and, most of all, her eye-catching fuchsia lips. I memorized the name: “Maybelline Super Stay 14 Hour Lipstick” in “Fuchsia Forever.” My mother, sister, and I then went over to the nearest Target in search of this lip color I so desperately required. The large cosmetics section at Target was like stepping inside of a light bulb. The shelves were so brightly lit, it was as if the store needed me to be able to read every brand name from just the corner of my eye. I quickly found the exact lipstick I wanted, which was the exact lipstick some pretty stranger had indirectly persuaded me to purchase. In that moment, looking down at the sleek, gleaming plastic tube, I felt that this one simple object was I needed. Something that looked good and made me feel good. It was not until later that I had thought about the consequences of this new standard of beauty.

As marketing strategies have evolved, they have enhanced the ability of advertisers to communicate to the "masses" more effectively than ever before. This ability has allowed advertisers to not only reach more markets, but to be more influential in the decision making process of the audience. American society, especially young women, is being influenced by advertisers more now than in previous generations. It is not by accident that teenagers and young adults are targeted by advertisers, especially since their purchasing power as a group exceeds that of any other consumer group. Not only have advertisers learned to identify specific products that appeal to men and women, but they have also found that the "want" of the consumer can be turned into a "need" for the advertised product. Many of the beauty product companies advertise their products as a "need" which ultimately appeals to a vast majority of women.
