Undecided Question

Well I am in my early 20's and never cared to use skin care products. I dont know what got me so interested now in using them. Just like when I was younger I would use foundation (all drug store makeup). Than I stopped completely and only wear eye shadow, mascara and eye liner. I hated putting stuff on my face. In doing research I found out the drug store brands are actually really bad for your skin and don't work well. Some people beg to differ and say there is no difference…the only difference is the price and name.. Could be true to some extent as I am not a professional. Is there a difference besides preference, price, and name? As for foundation, concealer, eye shadow, eye liner, mascara, mositurizers, cleansers/scrubs? I have really baby soft skin and have been using St. Ives Apricot Scrub Ivorating ( i know its a drug store brand) but I have been hearing such bad things about it. Price does not matter to me quality and effectiveness matters most. I know I myself have to go through the trial and error to find out what works best as nobodys skin is the same.. what works for one might not work for another. As to what I am asking is there a difference between drug store brands and quality name brands?
