My Outline Info

" Eye Shadow Ingredients : Eye shadow formulations start with a base filler. Cosmetics chemist Jane Hollenberg says cosmetic-grade talc or mica is a primary filler ingredient. But some formulas use kaolin clay. Binders are used to ensure the powder adheres to your skin. The most common binders are derivatives of zinc or magnesium. In addition to pigment, some manufacturers add silica, nylon, dimethicone, boron nitride (a ceramic material), or bismuth oxychloride for “slip” so the powder will slide more easily over the lid. A bit of preservative like glycol (a type of alcohol) or tocopherol (a form of vitamin E) helps prevent bacterial growth. The big difference between a cream and a powder shadow is the waxes and oils used in the base. Beeswax, castor oil, jojoba oil, shea butter, and silicone are among the ingredients used for liquefying a standard shadow. Once the wax or oil dries, the pigment tends to wear longer due to the way the ingredients bond with the skin. Before you pack your favorite shadow, consider which are more likely to crumble in your bag. Frosted shades, violets, and blues are difficult to compress into cakes and break more easily. Matte shadows are more likely to hold together."

Cost of Eye Shadows:

"Women spend $7 billion a year on makeup, around $100 each (although that’s not true, some of us *cough* spend more than others) (The Gloss).

Vanity Fare says in the U.S. alone, 68% of the 70 million women in the country (48 million) work and have money to spend on beauty, and $17 billion dollars is spent on makeup in the U.S. alone. Women purchase 2-3 times on average more makeup than they need or use.

The average woman owns: So we own more than we need (no surprise) and there’s always a demand to look and stay beautiful.
 * 7 Lipsticks but use only 2.6 of them on rotation
 * 12 Eye shadows but only use 5 of them on rotation <– the biggest category!
 * 2-3 Mascaras but only uses 1 daily
 * 3 forms of blush in various shades but only uses 1 daily
 * 2 foundations and they use one or both daily

QUALITY FACTORS IN THE COST

The cost also matters in terms of quality and how picky you are with it.

If you want, you can spend only $7 on foundation or concealer, but for the most part, it won’t be as good as if you shell out for other more expensive brands.

This is from experience by the way… I’ve worn very cheap to very expensive, and I find the mid-range brands (mostly available at Sephora) are the best.

Let’s break down what a basic kit would have:
