 I used to use Estee Lauder and Clinique but its becoming too expensive for my budget...i have tried to use less expensive companies but i find they just make my skin break out. 

What cosmetics company do you use? Why does it work for you? is it epensive?

I use Nyx. I love everything they make. It's supposed to be the budget friendly MAC

I use Clinique and estee lauder too. I also use Max Factor and Revlon for lipstick, mascara and blush, they are much cheaper and I like their results. I used to always go for MF for foundation but after I tired Clinique I don't think I can go back to MF. I am not a big fan of Estee Lauder thouugh.

 I use Mary Kay for foundation and mffx for eye shadow. Its so inexpensive and the owner is on CM. I also use Covergirl for mascara.

The question is why do you think that other brands(less expensive companies) products make your skin breakout? is it the ingredients?maybe you used oil based products(shrugs) It just can't be by price alone,that is a myth that expensive is always better. So just analyze why you really break out and how can you eliminate breaking out while buying more budget friendly products.

I use Mary Kay for skincare and cosmetics. I don't feel it to be expensive at all. It's great quality and long lasting. I certainly get my money's worth.

Have tried a CCO to see if they carry the products that you use from Estee Lauder or Clinique.  If you don't know what it is, it is the Cosmetics Company Outlet and they sell discounted makeup & perfume.  It is all the brands that Estee Lauder owns.  That is where I buy my MAC makeup at since it is about 30% off of the retail price.   I use a mixture of different brands.  I like certain brands for certain items.

I use urban decay (for eye makeup), revlon (for their lip stains) and physician's formula (for mineral powder).
