I was on a desperate hunt to find the right kind of makeup that would not damage or irritate my skin. As a result, I turned towards free makeup samples, which saved me tons of money in the long run.
Since I have sensitive skin, I did not want to have to waste all of my money on a product that might not even work for me anyway. I cringed at the thought of having to potentially waste around ten to fifteen dollars on a certain foundation, or concealer, or eye shadow, only to have it cause me to break out in a rash. When that happened I was forced to throw the product away. Obviously I wasn’t going to use it again if it gave me a rash, and I most certainly was not going to give it away to another person. I didn’t know if my rash could be contagious. So in order to spare another innocent person that horrible torture and embarrassment I resigned myself to literally throwing away my money.
This was when a good friend of my turned me towards the direction of free makeup samples. And I have to admit, I was so glad that she did. Now, instead of wasting hundreds of dollars trying to find the ideal makeup (which I later found out needed to be hypoallergenic) I was able to obtain free samples of a product that I thought might work. This way, if the product turned out to be a flop, or irritated my skin, my wallet did not have to suffer. If you have sensitive skin, I would first suggest switching to a hypoallergenic makeup, and follow up by making full use of the numerous the free makeup samples on the internet.
