Different types of cosmetic products

I know there are so many different types of cosmetic products on the market that you probably have a difficult time figuring out what to buy. Relax, take a deep breath and remember it's all about sales and marketing. Cosmetic companies come up with all kinds of fancy names for products to make you (the customer) think you're buying a one-of-a-kind product - the best ever!! Not so much.

Wanna know why? Because there are only so many different ways a company can alter a product before it gets really weird, and customers will refuse to buy it. So, they place emphasis on ingredients and chemicals that have been present in those products all along, and you're left assuming that it's the "new thing". I know it's not fair, but according to them, it's business.

Before going to your favorite cosmetics counter always ask yourself:

What do I want to change or make better? Be very simple and to the point, but be confident about it. Sales clerks love it when you're unsure about what products you want to buy. Why? The less confidence you have, the more likely they can convince you to purchase products you originally had no intention of buying. That means greater sales for them, and less money for you.

What skin type do I have? The reason I want you to ask yourself this question is because not all types of cosmetic products look good on all skin types. For instance, if you put a cream eyeshadow on a person with oily skin, the product will get clumpy and will not stay in place.

That's it! See, it wasn't that difficult. Now let's get to the good stuff . . .
