Favorite make-up brand?

[bvanpeltsw]

I love Avon, Clinique, Cover Girl, etc.

What is your favorite brand of make-up?

[mom363546]

I'm like you I do a combo. I love avon and mary kay.But.. I also own some almay, estee etc. One of my favorites through time was artistry which is amway.It was awesome but all there products are.

[bvanpeltsw]

I honestly had no idea that Amway was still around. I need to look into that. Thanks!=)

[mkrebecca]

I love Mary Kay and it's the only product I put on my face! It is the #1 best selling brand!

[mom2fussbudgets]

I usually buy whatever I can find on clearance at Target. However, I will only wear CoverGirl Outlast lipstick, and I LOVE Merle Norman's Sheer face powder. I love the way it looks, and a container of that powder will last me for years.

I'm a big fan of Everyday Minerals. Haven't had a breakout since discovering it! Prices are GREAT too!

[rdawnh]

after years of trying just about every type of foundation and having bad luck with all of them, i broke down and went into Macy's and tried the Origins brand of foundtation. I love it I wont use anything else. everytime i try to save money and use a cheaper item i regret it. all the rest of my makeup is what ever i can get ahold of cheap. I do like the E L F lip gloss.

There is a face powder that is made by Origins that I love! It comes in a neutral shade and the powder blends with your skin tone!

LOVE IT!

Where do they sell that?

[ept_0202]

I love Prescriptives face powder - don't wear foundation, so need good powder (tried some cheaper stuff, settles in the lines around my eyes - DON'T WANT THAT) and their lipstick. Maybelline makes my favorite undereye concealer. But the best I find is the Prescriptive Super Line Preventer Face Serum - sets a great base for my skin and makeup. Oh and the CoverGirl Mascara that has the clump free rubber like brush, latest they put out, is awesome.

[vealcalf]

Where do they sell that?

Online and I think in certain spas (ha ha I don't have any spas around me so order my stuff online!). Here's the link.

[wbarker]

I love Bare Escentuals for make up, and Estee Lauder!!

I saw the other posts on the other mineral makeup and will certainly check them out!!

I really want to try it as well. I think it is awesome that you can receive a sample kit and only have to pay a small s/h fee.

Holy smokes! I got this today. That sure was fast! I can't wait to try them. :)

That's great! I hope you like them. If you've never used mineral makeup before it takes a little practice to get used to it, but it's the only thing I'll wear now and once you get the hang of it it's a breeze to apply and don't have to worry about cakiness like regular foundation. I'm currently getting addicted to their eye shadows--STARRY NIGHT is great! LOL I need a 2nd job to support my makeup fix! Enjoy!!!!

[mom2fussbudgets]

I haven't! Thanks for telling me that. Do you apply it with a make up brush?

[heges girl]

E l F......i am still using the concealer small but lasts a long time just a dab goes a long way.......eyeshadow is nice too and the glow powder....gives you a healthy glow not orangy.....have to hit the big kart again to see what else they have...... i love maybelline great lash

[heges girl]

sorry i meant to say big k mart

[vealcalf]

I bought a mineral makeup brush from Avon a few months ago and apply the foundation and blush w/it. I think if you just have a big fluffy makeup brush it would work too but maybe wouldn't blend as well.

You know I tried ELF and it made me break-out.

They had a great deal on their website a while back and I stocked up. I was bummed that my skin did not agree with it.:(

[heges girl]

[heges girl]

[heges girl]

Heges Girl:

I have not tried the sheer cover kit. Let us know what you think.

[bvanpeltsw]

I actually purchased Sheer Cover when I was in Washington D.C. last week. I LOVE IT! It barely feels like I am wearing anything and the coverage is AMAZING!

[heges girl]

i swear by the e l f makeup cheap and lasts a long time.....especially the concealer small but a little goes a long way..........love maybelline great lash mascara

[Zoneey]

Can you buy it without commiting to getting it sent every 2 months? I buy Bare Essentuals and buy as I go. It lasts forever, but the Sheer Cover looks so good, but I don't think I could use it up so fast.

You do not have to committ to every 3 months. What I did is let them know when I will need it again by giving them a call. I bought mine from an actual Sheer Cover stand in the mall and they gave me really good tips on how to re-order.

I just saw about some lipsticks containing lead,
Girls make sure you are using a lipstick that is safe! Some of them are not!!

Wow! Sounds like our lipstick is being made in China.

[mkrebecca]

Yes, I think some of them are!! Just be careful on what ones you use!! I do know that Mary Kay is safe and there are others that at are safe, but there are some that are not!!

[silversam7]

I love Clinque. It is affordable and they have things for every skin type. I love it. :D

[lizmolik]

I like Cover Girl and Almay they are the best for me, I am sure there are other good brands but I just cant afford them ;) !

Clinique often has events where you get your eyes or lips done and get free samples just for getting the makeover. I am sure they want you to buy something ,but you don't have to. It is a great way to try something new items and different stores offer different samples. :)

A long time ago, someone had gave me some Clinique lipstick and I loved it. They said they got it as a gift for buying something Clinique. I have never bought any Clinique items before, but I bet they are good. I should try to do that, thanks for the info!

I would like to find a good foundation that covers up my scars from zits when I was a teenager! The Cover Girl Tru Blend works really great...but it wears off quick for me!

If you know someone who sells Mary Kay, the foundation they have is wonderful!! It does not wear off like others do. And it covers good.

Mary Kay I thought was expensive though...I can afford anything too pricey! I would...but...I need to save most of my money for my son...he always comes first!

[mkrebecca]

Mary Kay is not any more expensive than clinique, and it is worth the money!! It is the #1 brand of cosmetics and skin care!!:) :) and you are worth it!! If you find a good consultant she will work with you on getting things FREE!!;)

[Zoneey]

Thanks I will see if they have them in AZ!

Clinique usually runs a little more than Mary Kay ,but it is the number 1 store sold brand in cosmetics and skin care. It is also allergy tested ,most makeups are hypo-allergenic ,but not allergy tested. They test a group of people and if anyone has a problem it goes back to lab.

Also is if you shop during bonus time they offer a free gift with your purchase. There is a min. purchase ,but I am not sure what it is.

[bvanpeltsw]

I do have to mention Avon. I love Avon more than Mary Kay and they always come out with great products!

[mkrebecca]

Mary Kay also comes out with new products every quarter.

[bvanpeltsw]

Anyone here try MAC cosmetics?

I LOOOOVE their stuff!

[countrypkin65]

Revlon for colorstay lipstick & lipliner, covergirl for mascara and eyeshadow & eyeliner, maybeline for foundation & powder. Blush....I think its wet-n-wild (bronzer) I turn it into a powder and put it into a terra cotta jar. (weird-I know)

I've heard great things about Coverfirl eye products. I think I am gonna give them a try;) I have been using Avon forever....

I sold Mary Kay for a few years. I really didn't like the feel of the foundation---it was too heavy and the second in the line was too chalky and didn't feel good on my skin. Their cleansing program is very good, but after having my director tell me to book more skin care classes as I was going through a nasty divorce, I wrote it all off. I felt like I was another dollar sign. :(

[jennyyu]

i am OLAY lover. i use this brand all the time!

I got the minerals samples a while back. They are pretty nice, especially for the price. I still have quite a bit (don't wear much make-up these days) left. I don't like Mary Kay. Breaks me out, breaks the wallet. It'd be cheaper to be on crack than mary kay or clinique! :eek:

[mom363546]

I'm an avon junkie. Moisturizers I do use Marykay but my make up is mostly avon.

Physician's Formula Mineral Makeup it does not irritate my skin. I like the Neutrogena lip products especially the MoistureShine tinted lip balm.

[lakeminer]

Jane mineral makeup powder and the cool eyeliner in a jar .Love them both very affordable and good quality, ive tried many expensive brands clinique, lancome, etc, this is a good product.

[Cpogie]

I finally used my Bare Minerals Powder...I guess you call it powder? anyways I watched the video on how to use it, takes just a little in the cap, swirl with the brush, tap and use it....
Dh said what do you think that is going to cover....I said watch.....I was amazed on how good this stuff is! and using so little.....it really does what it says it does...makes your skin so even in color, even Dh said wow that really worked...so thank you to the person who posted the sample to try out...I am sold on this stuff, and will buy this again for sure.

I've been wearing it too, got a Sephora gift card for Christmas and along with another gift card, got the starter set for $14. I like it so much! It really makes skin look even plus it has sunscreen automatically! B/c we live in the Rockies that is key!

No kidding. I was wearing a liquid foundation but it was looking really heavy on my skin, uck! This hardly shows but just evens things out and looks beautiful! I got mine at Christmas and it doesn't even look like I have used any!:D

[dreamweaver236]

i've always like clinique the best. :)

[missinformation]

I don't use foundation or powder or alot of goop on my face. However, I love Wet n Wild or Jordana brand eyeliner...they don't make my eyes burn like the pricey stuff does!!! Eye shadow, I buy whatever I have a coupon for, and use Wet n Wild mascara. I love Jordana lip gloss. It is $1.99 for a tube in Walgreens, and it lasts a good long time...I lick my lips, and this stuff does not budge. Love the red gloss...called Gorgeous, and the neutral Babe... made in the USA, and makes my lips look even better than they already do, if I may be so immodest to say!
