I Broke Up With Luxury Makeup
SUQQU, CPB, Chanel—I used to think expensive meant better. Then I discovered RMK and realized I've been lying to myself about what good makeup actually costs.
My vanity now looks like an RMK shrine. Four eyeshadow palettes, two blush compacts, foundation, that cult-favorite lip balm in 01. Each piece under $40, each one outperforming products that cost three times more. The 10 blush everyone raves about? I get it now. It's salmon-pink powder that somehow creates light from within, like you're glowing from a perfect eight hours of sleep you definitely didn't get.
The foundation shocked me most. 100L matches my yellow undertones perfectly, lasts through humid days without separating, and costs less than a fancy dinner. My $80 SUQQU foundation sits untouched now—prettier packaging, worse performance.
I'm not going broke for status anymore. When something works this well for this little, why would I? That clean white matte packaging doesn't scream luxury, but it whispers quality. Sometimes that's enough.
What's the best drugstore-priced discovery that replaced your luxury staple?
