If you’re a card-carrying member of the budget-beauty crusade, then you know that it doesn’t take a lot to look fab. But, does knowing that the U.S. economy is bouncing back after seeing a significant spike in employment numbers inspire you to spend more money on your beauty routine or will you stay the course and save your extra dollars and buy that one product that highlights your best facial feature?

Case in point…

Lisa Raye, the star of the reality tv series The Real McCoy is as  a beautiful woman with arresting eyes . To illuminate hazel-colored eyes like Lisa’s, try Physician’s Formula Eyebrightener Multicolored Eyelighter, Hint of Berries (target stores) for only $5.89 – the various shades of purple of this “eyelighter” and the hints of pearlescent color brightens your eyes while simultaneously enhancing their color.

The chanteuse, Jill Scott, proudly adorns her full lips with an intense bold shade of red lip color and you can do the same by trying Rimmel’s Lasting Finish Lipstick ($5.29, walgreens.com). It’s your time to be noticed because when you wear this lipstick, you’ll turn heads without even trying. Eat your heart out boys!

Gospel-singing diva Yolanda Adams and the unfortunate loser of last week’s HKI’s Beauty Wars is no stranger to looking fierce. As you know, a well-shaped brow is paramount to framing your eye and Ms. Adams has embraced a fuller, more defined brow. E.L.F.’s Studio Eyebrow Kit (eyeslipsface.com) can be used to achieve a similar looking brow with it’s a pigmented wax that defines and shapes and a setting powder that keeps them arched and perfected. Believe it or not, this gem only costs $3!

The moral of the story is to not overlook inexpensive drugstore brands to find your “sexy.”
