  1. As a woman from a low socioeconomic background, it can be disheartening to see luxury beauty brands out of reach. However, there are affordable options available for those on a tight budget. Many drugstore brands offer quality products at a fraction of the cost of high-end brands. Additionally, there are also plenty of online tutorials and resources available for DIY beauty treatments using ingredients that are often already in your pantry. Beauty is not limited to expensive products - it's about feeling confident and comfortable in your own skin. It's important for beauty companies and influencers to recognize the diversity of their audience and to provide options that are accessible to everyone, regardless of their financial situation. Beauty should be inclusive and empowering for all women, regardless of their socioeconomic status.

  2. It's a tough reality for many women in low socioeconomic status who can't afford luxury beauty products like Huda Beauty. It feels like beauty is reserved for the wealthy and privileged. As someone who has faced poverty and struggled to make ends meet, I understand the importance of stretching every dollar. I've worked hard in physically demanding jobs just to put food on the table. I know the value of money and how essential it is to prioritize necessities over luxuries. It's frustrating to see that makeup, something that can boost confidence and self-esteem, is often out of reach for those in need. Instead of belittling women for wanting to look their best, we should be questioning the capitalism in the beauty industry. Why aren't there more affordable options for those who can't splurge on high-end products? Why is makeup seen as a frivolous expense rather than a tool for empowerment? I refuse to buy into the idea that I need to sacrifice my dignity or values in order to fit into society's beauty standards. I won't resort to desperate measures just to afford a pricey lipstick. We should be advocating for inclusive and accessible beauty options that celebrate all women, regardless of their socioeconomic background. Let's start a conversation about making beauty more affordable for everyone.

  4. It is important for beauty brands to consider the diverse economic backgrounds of their customers and create more affordable options for those who may not be able to afford luxury brands. Everyone deserves to feel beautiful and confident, regardless of their socioeconomic status. By offering more affordable options, beauty brands can make their products accessible to a wider range of customers and help empower women from all backgrounds. Beauty should not be reserved only for those who can afford expensive products. Every woman deserves to feel beautiful, no matter her financial situation.

  5.  @bec5250  Absolutely, it's essential for us to shift our focus towards recognizing and appreciating people for who they are on the inside, rather than solely based on superficial standards. It's important to promote self-love and acceptance rather than constantly comparing ourselves to unrealistic societal expectations. Beauty truly comes from within and it's crucial to celebrate people for their unique qualities and personalities rather than their physical appearance. Let's prioritize kindness, empathy, and compassion over superficial beauty standards.

  6. So Huda, if you're listening, how about creating a line for us budget babes? We may not have a trust fund, but we've got plenty of love to give...and maybe a coupon or two.
    2
  7. Oh, because obviously only rich women deserve to look beautiful, right? Who needs affordable makeup options when you can just pull yourself up by your bootstraps and become a CEO like every other successful woman? Because clearly makeup is the key to success in life. So glad we've got our priorities straight.
    2
  8. Oh, absolutely, because obviously the biggest issue here is that poor women can't buy expensive makeup. Forget about access to healthcare, education, or basic necessities - what really matters is whether or not we can all afford Huda beauty. Because clearly, looking beautiful is the most important thing in life. And of course, those of us from low socioeconomic backgrounds should just suck it up and work multiple jobs to be able to afford luxury brands. Because who needs financial security when you can have a perfectly contoured face, right? And don't even get me started on how capitalism is to blame for all our makeup woes. It's not like these companies are just trying to make a profit or anything. It's obviously a huge conspiracy to keep poor women from looking fabulous. But hey, at least we can all rest easy knowing that we're not the problem - it's society that's to blame for our lack of designer makeup. So let's all just sit back and wait for the revolution to start in the beauty industry, because that's clearly the most pressing issue of our time.

  9. It may be challenging for a beauty brand to create cheap and high quality products due to a number of factors. These factors may include the cost of sourcing high quality ingredients, manufacturing processes, packaging, marketing, and distribution. Additionally, maintaining high quality standards while keeping costs low can be difficult and may require significant investment in research and development. Moreover, creating cheaper products may also impact the brand's image and reputation, as consumers may perceive lower prices as indicating lower quality. This could potentially harm the brand's overall success and profitability in the long run. That being said, some beauty brands do offer more affordable options or create specific product lines targeted towards consumers with lower socioeconomic status. However, balancing affordability and quality can be a delicate and complex task for brands in the beauty industry.

  10. Huda beauty needs to realize that not everyone can drop a paycheck on a palette. I mean, we're talking Ramen-noodle-for-dinner kind of broke here. Maybe she should come out with a new line called 'Huda on a Budget' for us financially challenged ladies. Like, come on Huda, we want to slay on a budget too! I mean, who decided that only the rich deserve to look glamorous? I've worked my butt off in all sorts of jobs just to make ends meet, I don't have the luxury of splurging on expensive makeup. And don't even get me started on the whole 'you have to work a 9 to 5 to afford nice things' mentality. I've worked way more than 9 to 5 and still can't afford designer makeup! But you know what's really messed up? The fact that society tells us we have to look a certain way to be accepted. Like, why can't makeup be affordable for everyone? Why does it have to be a luxury item? It's like they want us to feel bad about ourselves if we don't have the latest trends. Well, guess what, I'll rock my drugstore makeup like a boss and still slay, thank you very much. And don't even get me started on how the beauty industry keeps capitalism alive and kicking. They make us feel like we need their products to feel beautiful, when really, beauty comes from within. So next time you see those high-end brands pushing their pricey products, remember that us low-socioeconomic status ladies are beautiful just the way we are. And hey, who needs Huda beauty when you've got a killer personality and a heart of gold?

  11. They may not have access to high-end beauty products or skincare treatments due to their financial limitations. This can impact their self-esteem and confidence, as they may feel like they are unable to keep up with societal beauty standards. It is important to recognize and address the inequalities that exist in the beauty industry, and to work towards creating more affordable and accessible options for all women.

  13. Danes whip out their “liberal” card like it’s a get-out-of-jail-free pass.

  14. It's like the beauty industry is saying, "Sorry, you gotta have a fat wallet to feel beautiful." Well, joke's on them, because I rock my $5 lipstick like a queen.

  15. Looks like beauty is only for the well-off, but who says you need a fat wallet to feel fabulous? Time to make those high-end brands jealous with our budget-friendly glam! Because who says you need a trust fund to rock a killer cat eye? Let's prove that beauty doesn't discriminate based on bank account balance.

  16. Women from low socioeconomic status and poor women are out here looking like peasants while the rich ladies are walking around with their faces beat to the gods thanks to Huda beauty. Like, come on Huda, throw us broke ladies a bone and make some affordable products! It's like the beauty industry is saying, "You can't sit with us unless you have a designer lipstick." But hey, us hard-working gals know how to make do with what we have. Who needs Huda beauty when you can rock that dollar store mascara like a boss? And don't even get me started on the whole capitalism in the beauty industry. It's like they're saying, "Oh, you want to look good? Well, you better start saving up your pennies, honey!" I mean, come on, let's make looking fabulous accessible to everyone, not just the trust fund babies!
    1
  17. Us low-income ladies need some love too! Maybe Huda should start a new line called Huda Bargain Beauty, where us budget-conscious babes can finally afford to look fabulous without selling a kidney.
    1
  18. Oh, because obviously all women from low socioeconomic status are just dying to get their hands on some Huda beauty products. Because you know, makeup is the key to success and happiness. It's not like these women have more important things to worry about like putting food on the table or paying rent. But sure, let's make cheap makeup the top priority in their lives. Because who needs basic necessities when you can have a $50 lipstick, right? I mean, why should poor women bother with trying to improve their financial situation when they could just slap on some high-end makeup and magically become successful and beautiful? Who needs hard work and determination when you have a credit card, am I right? And of course, let's not forget how the beauty industry is just exploiting the poor and keeping them down. Because it's totally the fault of makeup companies that some women can't afford their products. It's not like capitalism plays any role in this at all. Nope, it's all the fault of those evil beauty moguls. But hey, who needs to address the real issues when we can just blame the beauty industry for all of society's problems? Because obviously, makeup is the root of all evil. Let's forget about fighting for equality and social justice, and just focus on getting that perfect contour instead. Great priorities, folks.

  19. Huda Beauty, more like Hood-rat Beauty, am I right? I mean, who can afford those pricey products besides women driving around in their Ferraris and shopping at designer stores? Meanwhile, us poor gals are over here scraping pennies together just to afford a basic mascara. I guess I'll just have to stick to my trusty dollar store makeup for now. But seriously, why is it that only the rich can afford to look fabulous? It's like the beauty industry is saying, "Sorry, you gotta have a fat wallet to feel beautiful." Well, joke's on them, because I rock my $5 lipstick like a queen. And don't even get me started on the whole capitalism thing. It's like they're preying on our insecurities to make a buck. Maybe instead of pushing expensive products on us, they should focus on making quality, affordable options for all women. Let's give the poor gals a chance to feel fabulous too, without breaking the bank. So here's to all my fellow budget beauties out there, rocking our cheap makeup with pride. Who needs Huda Beauty when you've got a winning personality and a killer sense of humor, am I right?

  21. And seriously, why is it that only the rich can afford to look good? It's like they're living in a whole different world where money grows on trees and lashes come in 24 karat gold. I may not have a designer handbag, but at least I've got my dignity.

  22. Looks like the only way to afford luxury makeup is to trade in your welfare check for a 9 to 5 paycheck. But fear not, our savvy entrepreneur is here to save the day with affordable options for all the fabulous women out there on a tight budget. Who needs Huda Beauty when you can have Budget Beauty? Beauty knows no bank account balance!

  23. Oh, how silly of me to think that women from low socioeconomic backgrounds deserve to feel beautiful too! Clearly, only the wealthy should have access to makeup that costs an arm and a leg. Because everyone knows that only those with fat wallets are deserving of looking fabulous. Why should poor women even bother trying to look presentable when they can't afford luxury brands like Huda beauty? It's not like they have jobs or anything, right? And heaven forbid we address the issue of capitalism in the beauty industry – after all, we wouldn't want to disrupt the status quo of exploiting people for profit. But hey, who needs affordable makeup when you can just sell your soul or resort to less-than-ideal means to make ends meet, am I right? Because clearly, being broke and struggling means you don't deserve to feel beautiful. Let's just keep glorifying expensive products and perpetuating the cycle of inequality, shall we? Because that's definitely working out well for everyone.

  27. God forbid anyone tries to lend a hand to improve their situation! That would really upset the delicate balance of their so-called “liberalism.” It’s almost as if the more things change, the more they stay the same!

  28. Huda beauty, more like Huda boujee! I mean, who can actually afford to shell out that kind of cash for a lipstick? Not me, that's for sure. You know you're broke when even the drugstore makeup aisle seems like a luxury. I'm out here hustling with three side jobs just to make ends meet, I don't have time to be dropping big bucks on highlighter. But hey, who needs expensive makeup when you've got a killer personality and a great sense of humor, am I right? And seriously, why is it that only the rich can afford to look good? It's like they're living in a whole different world where money grows on trees and lashes come in 24 karat gold. I may not have a designer handbag, but at least I've got my dignity. So Huda, if you're listening, how about creating a line for us budget babes? We may not have a trust fund, but we've got plenty of love to give...and maybe a coupon or two.

  30.  @DIOSESMITODO880  we can't afford to buy their products. It's frustrating to see how much money is spent on advertising to a select group of people, while the rest of us struggle to make ends meet. It feels like we're constantly bombarded with images of luxury and excess, but we can't participate in that lifestyle. It's a constant reminder of our socioeconomic status and the inequalities that exist in our society. It's a tough reality to face, but it's important to remember that our worth is not defined by the products we can afford to buy. We are still valuable and deserving of respect, regardless of our financial situation.
    1
  31.  @DIOSESMITODO880  Marketing budgets are often not prioritized for those who are considered lower income or in poverty. This creates a cycle where those who are already financially struggling are not able to access or afford these marketed products and services.

  32. Oh, poor little me, struggling to make ends meet and can't even afford Huda beauty. Because we all know that makeup is the key to happiness and success in life. Clearly, Huda needs to start catering to us lowly peasants who can't shell out hundreds of dollars for some eyeshadow. It's not like there are more important things to worry about when you're living in poverty. But hey, at least I have my pride, right? I may be living on welfare and working my butt off in multiple low paying jobs, but at least I'm not selling my soul to buy some lipstick. Who needs basic necessities when you can have designer makeup? Surely, that's the key to true fulfillment in life. And don't even get me started on capitalism in the beauty industry. It's a conspiracy, I tell you! They want us to feel inadequate so we keep buying their overpriced products. Why can't they just make everything cheap and easily accessible to everyone? Oh, wait, because that would go against their entire business model. Silly me, expecting companies to care about actual human beings instead of just their profit margins. But hey, who needs makeup when you've got a strong work ethic and a sense of self-worth, right? That's the real beauty, not some overpriced foundation. I'll just keep chugging along, working my fingers to the bone, while the beauty industry rakes in the cash off my insecurities. Yay for capitalism!

  33. Well, it seems like the beauty industry is just playing hard to get with us lowly peasants. I mean, who needs affordable makeup when you can just sell a kidney to buy a lipstick, am I right? And don't get me started on those luxury brands that make you feel like you're not worth it unless you're dripping in diamonds. But hey, at least my bank account is as empty as my soul, so I've got that going for me. So here's to all the women out there who can't afford to slather on the Huda beauty - we may not have the fancy products, but we sure as hell have our dignity (and maybe a little bit of mascara from the dollar store).

  35. Oh, of course, because all women from low socioeconomic backgrounds are just dying to get their hands on some Huda Beauty. Forget about paying bills or putting food on the table, what we really need is some expensive makeup to feel complete. Because clearly, looking beautiful is the most important thing in the world, right? I mean, who cares about basic necessities when you can have luxury brands to show off to your friends? It's not like poor women have more pressing concerns or anything. And let's not forget how capitalism is just thriving in the beauty industry, because clearly they care more about profits than making affordable products accessible to everyone. But hey, who needs basic human rights when you have makeup, right? Priorities, people. Priorities.

  40. After all, it’s so much easier to pretend that the historical context of depression, poverty, and racism doesn’t exist. And let’s not forget the lovely irony of the educated, wealthy Danish population living it up while Indigenous folks are stuck in a cycle of misery. It's almost as if those high-minded liberals just love to champion their "progressive values" until it actually requires them to confront their own privilege. What a delightful little bubble they’ve created!

  43. Huda beauty needs to come out with a new line called "Huda on a Budget" for us broke ladies out here just trying to look cute without breaking the bank. I mean, seriously, have you seen the prices on some of these products? It's like they were designed for women who bathe in gold bars instead of tap water. I swear, it's like the beauty industry is just one big club for rich women only. Like, unless you have a trust fund or marry a millionaire, you ain't getting anywhere near that fancy makeup counter. Meanwhile, us poor gals are out here trying to DIY our own eyeshadow with crushed up crayons. I've worked every odd job under the sun just to make ends meet, and the last thing on my mind is spending my hard-earned cash on some overpriced highlighter. I'd rather save up for a rainy day or a 3-ply toilet paper, thank you very much. But hey, who needs luxury brands when you can glow up on a budget? I'll stick to my drugstore makeup and DIY face masks, thank you very much. Who needs Huda beauty when you can have "Hotdog stand chic" as your signature look? Beauty may be pain, but so is your bank account after splurging on high-end products.

  44. Capitalism in the beauty industry is a real thing, and it's time we address it.

  45. Thank goodness Huda Beauty is here to solve all their problems. I mean, who needs food or shelter when you can just slather on some luxury foundation, right? And of course, all women are just dying to become porn stars or thieves to afford a damn lipstick. Because that's the only way they could ever look beautiful, obviously. Capitalism in the beauty industry? Never heard of it.

  48. I've learned to make do with what I have and find ways to feel beautiful without breaking the bank. It's frustrating to see the beauty industry cater mainly to those who can afford luxury products, but I refuse to let that define my worth. I may not have the latest makeup trends or designer clothes, but I have a resilience and inner strength that no amount of money can buy. Beauty isn't just about what's on the outside, it's about embracing who you are and valuing yourself regardless of your financial situation. And that, to me, is the true essence of beauty.
    1
  49. Wow, because obviously only wealthy women deserve to look beautiful, right? I mean, who cares about those poor women who can't afford Huda beauty? They should just accept that they'll never be able to look good because they can't pony up the cash for expensive products. And forget about discussing capitalism in the beauty industry, that would just ruin the illusion that makeup is some magical solution to all of life's problems. But hey, at least us low socioeconomic women can take comfort in knowing we're not the problem, even if we have to resort to extreme measures like stealing or becoming a porn star just to fit in. Because that's totally normal, right? It's not like the beauty industry thrives on making people feel inadequate so they'll buy more products or anything. So yeah, let's just keep perpetuating the idea that looking good is only for the rich and let those poor women figure it out on their own. Great plan!
    1
  50. Oh, of course, because poor women just love spending their hard-earned money on expensive makeup brands like Huda beauty. I mean, who needs groceries or bills paid when you can have a luxury brand on your face, right? It's not like there's anything more important in life than looking pretty. And don't even get me started on how unfair it is that only rich women can afford to look beautiful - I guess poverty really is the ultimate beauty killer. Thank goodness I've learned to value money and not waste it on such frivolous things, like makeup. But hey, who needs affordable and high-quality products when you can just sell your soul for some expensive eyeshadow, right? Capitalism in the beauty industry? Nah, that's just a fanciful myth. Because at the end of the day, women will always find a way to make themselves look beautiful, even if it means sacrificing their financial stability in the process.
