In your opinion, is it worth it to get high end makeup from department stores or other places like Sephora, or is the quality of drugstore makeup the same? It must depend on the brands, so which do you think are just as good? I don't want to waste money on makeup, but I don't want it to give me eye infections either.

I have things here and there from Sephora and MAC, but for the most part I deffffinitely vouch Drugstore makeup. While MAC is famous for their eyeshadow, I use Rimmel and honestly - it does the job. I've had my makeup done at MAC before, and I went home and tried it with Drugstore products and wa-lah, overall, the same quality. Admittedly, the MAC makeup had more *oomph*, but for the average day, I don't think there's too much need to spend too much cash on makeup.

P.S. Buuut, I can't vouch for either side about foundations or concealers, because I haven't tried it from either options.

Agreed, since I use Rimmel as well. Sephora makeup just lasts a tad longer and doesn't run as much.
