East students are frugal with makeup
October 4, 2022
Morton East prefers inexpensive makeup.
At our school, we often see many girls/guys wearing makeup but does every makeup user at our school know what good quality in-expensive makeup to go for? We intend to help with any beauty tips we can offer and any recommendations about makeup and even skin care.
Our team has gone around to multiple classrooms with a survey asking about makeup techniques/preferences. Based on the surveys we found that multiple makeup users prefer to use inexpensive makeup. Most girls buy inexpensive makeup such as Wet n wild, Elf, Maybelline, Nyx and L.A girl. These brands have good quality makeup at a reasonable price.
In our survey, we asked for a specific brand preference, preference of full face makeup versus natural makeup, and whether students wear makeup every day. The survey concluded that at Morton East there is a natural makeup preference and that most students do not like to do their makeup everyday. This shows how the inexpensive makeup we will be referring our classmates to is very convenient since it will not be worn everyday. The purpose of the inexpensive makeup brands we are recommending is to make sure our class looks good with affordable makeup that gives the smooth base illusion.
Taking off your makeup at night is important. Most people that took our survey stated that at night they take their makeup off, but why is it important? Well, by taking off your makeup it prevents breakouts, getting dark spots on the face, and redness.
In a survey of women 16+ in 2022, only 40% of women say they wear makeup daily; 20% of girls prefer to not were makeup and have a natural look.
Interestingly, the history of makeup goes back around 6,000 years ago when we got a bit of a glimpse of it by the Egyptians. The reason for them to put it on was to show wealth and to appeal to the gods. One main product they would use was eyeliner — to impress the gods.

I also agree on how makeup allows people of all genders to feel confident in themselves and as a way to express who they are. Seeing that the majority of the students at east prefer a natural makeup look is very comforting because to achieve a natural makeup look, you don’t necessarily need expensive/pricy makeup. Overall, this article is good but It would be nice to see what other brands students prefer over the ones that were on the survey.

Great points, Andrea! I thnk that over the years, students’ use of makeup has become more natural — more subdued and subtle. Not that I have anything against a lot of makeup, but I think it would be a hassle every morning — and who needs it: we are all beautiful!

Genge- Makeup can be used in so many ways and it helps many students express themselves. Inexpensive makeup is good if you know what your looking for and by looking at reviews. I agree that you need to remove your makeup in the night and double cleanse accordingly and moisturize after. Wen n Wild, Elf, Nyx, and L.A girls are very popular inexpensive brands that can not always be good which is why you should explore.

Genge. A- I love the mention of different makeup brands that have good quality as any other expensive makeup brands. Its good to mention what other students get for makeup and their choices of what brand.

I love the topic and I believe it’s very interesting to learn about the students’ makeup choices! I also like the mention of makeup throughout history. But I would maybe provide specific numbers when it comes to your own survey you held.
