DON’T GET STUCK WITH JUNK MAKEUP! 4 Ways to Avoid Scams and Find Your Perfect Products Online

2. REFERENCE YOUR CURRENT MAKEUP. In the quest for your perfect shade, your best allies are the products you already own. Check out your current foundation to see if it’s marked for skin tone. C means cool, Wmeans warm, N means neutral, and the paired number accounts for lightness. When shopping online, look for those same identifiers. Descriptions can be helpful too! If your favorite lipstick is “mauve,” look for that term while you shop. 3. LOOK FOR REVIEWS ON THE WIDER WEB. Reviews can clue you in to the authenticity, quality, and color of a product, but make sure you leave the brand website to read them! Plenty of brand website reviews are helpful, but sometimes they can be curated, and you’re guaranteed to find more realistic takes on the wider web. For the best peek behind the curtain, check out video tutorials from beauty influencers who are using the products you’re interested in. 4. SAMPLE, SAMPLE, SAMPLE. Last but not least, always check if the website you’re buying from mails samples. These are usually a fraction of the cost of the full product, and although waiting for them slows down the buying process, it saves you money in the long run.

Makeup stores stacked from floor to ceiling with foundation, lipstick, and eye shadow can be overwhelming — with 1,000 shades to choose from, where do you start? Add in a pushy salesperson hovering at your shoulder and you might feel the urge to run for the exit. Faced with this reality, it’s no wonder people are choosing to shop online for their perfect makeup looks. However, online shopping has its own pitfalls: Bootleg makeup abounds, and it’s tricky to find the perfect shade when you can’t color match in person. To solve that problem, we’ve rounded up our top four shopping tips.

1.

STICK TO BRAND WEBSITES. The biggest challenge of shopping for makeup online is avoiding counterfeit products. These knockoffs are poor quality, and they can even be health hazards. According to Refinery29, tests have found carcinogens, human feces, and even horse urine in faux products — yikes! To avoid this problem, skip eBay, Amazon, and other “bargain” sites and go straight to the source: the website of the brand you love.
