" Let&amp;#039;s face facts: Keeping up a beauty regimen can be a costly task. And with new pricey beauty treatments, like $400 Brazilian blowouts and $125 airbrush makeovers, just one seemingly-innocent splurge can set your budget into a tailspin. But thanks to the latest finance-friendly products, scoring the same look at home is possible\u2014without spending a fortune. From easy-on-the-wallet blowout serums to flawless photo-ready foundation, you&amp;#039;ll have everything you need to beautify on a budget. Smooth Locks  You could pay for: The 90- minute Brazilian Blowout, which costs up to $400 and calms frizz and unruly curls for up to 12 weeks. A stylist paints an amino acid\u2013based serum onto your damp hair from roots to ends, then blowdries hair and seals the formula into cuticles using a 450-degree flat iron. Before styling, she rinses with a deepconditioning masque.  Or try: The 20-minute Garnier Fructis Style Sleek &amp;amp;amp; Shine Blow Dry Perfector ($11.99; at drugstores), which boosts shine and helps smooth hair for up to seven shampoos. Apply the cysteine-based serum (which helps loosen hair bonds that cause frizz) to damp hair and rinse out after 20 minutes. Then comb through a cream containing rice oil to seal the cuticle, blow-dry and flat-iron to style.  Savings: $388 A Flawless Complexion  You could pay for: One application of long-lasting airbrush makeup, which is put on at a salon in about 45 minutes for roughly $125. A trained makeup artist uses a compressor tool (similar to the kind used to paint cars) to spray on the lightweight, highly pigmented makeup, which is specifically formulated to even out your skin.  Or try: Revlon PhotoReady Compact Makeup with SPF 20($13.99; at WalMart this November), a cream compact foundation that turns into a liquid, thanks to its clear liquefying screen on top. Once on your skin, it dries to a powder finish and lasts up to eight hours. What&amp;#039;s more, the photochromatic pigments in the foundation adjust to different lighting so your skin always looks radiant.  Savings: $111 Younger-Looking Skin  You could pay for: A targeted light therapy treatment such as IPL (intense pulsed light), which is done in a dermatologist&amp;#039;s office to help combat age spots, fine lines, wrinkles and uneven texture. You&amp;#039;ll spend an average of $300 to $600 a session\u2014and you may need up to three sessions, since the first one may not provide enough of an improvement.  Or try: Clinique Repairwear Laser Focus Wrinkle &amp;amp;amp; UV Damage Corrector ($44.50; Clinique.com), which claims to give you, after 12 weeks of twice-daily use, 63 percent of the benefits you&amp;#039;d get from a successful laser treatment. Massage three drops of the serum\u2014formulated with skin-firming whey protein, vitamins C and E, and free radical\u2013fighting pomegranate juice extract\u2014onto your face and eye area.  Savings: About $555  Get a Camera-Ready Complexion! That flawless skin you see on actresses and TV anchors? It&amp;#039;s likely had a little help from a makeup artist&amp;#039;s secret weapon: primer. &amp;quot;Primers help keep skin hydrated and camouflage fine lines and wrinkles, while providing a smooth canvas for makeup,&amp;quot; says Molly R. Stern, makeup artist for CoverGirl. Until now, however, finding one in a drugstore was difficult. But both CoverGirl and L&amp;#039;Or\u00E9al Paris have just introduced new formulas that provide gorgeous results. After smoothing on moisturizer, pump a nickel-size amount on the back of your hand. Gently dab it on spots where makeup fades fast, such as the chin, nose and eyelids. Wait 2 minutes before applying foundation.   1. CoverGirl &amp;amp;amp; Olay Simply Ageless Serum Primer contains an amino-peptide complex to help improve your skin tone and texture. It also has glycerin to lock moisture into skin. ($13.99; at drugstores)    2. L&amp;#039;Or\u00E9al Paris Studio Secrets Professional Anti-Dull Skin Primer is available in three shades and helps warm up your skin tone.
