Our associate features editor, Dianna Mazzone Singh, teaches us about beauty math. I love to accessorize H&M dresses with Chanel bags and in my medicine cabinet, you'll find the beauty equivalent: [drugstore dry shampoo]( mingling with splurgy serums and high-end hair tools. As a beauty editor, it's important to know what's happening at both ends of the product price spectrum, which is why [$7 pimple patches]( and a pricey—but worth it!—[vitamin C serum]( both have a home in my daily routine. I justify the big-ticket items with what I like to call "beauty math." If a blow-dry brush helps me stretch the time between salon visits, then it's basically paying for itself, right? Right! If my take on beauty budgeting resonates with you, check out [My Beauty Edit]( for a peek into my high-low vanity.     When you buy something through our retail links, we may earn an affiliate commission.
