what brands of make up do you wear?

I hear ya Alayney, I don't like to spend a lot of money on makeup either.  I'd rather spend my money on other things thats worth it.  That's why I did some research before I bought a more expensive makeup (average $10) and went on Physicians Formula's website.  I know to some people this brand is not expensive, but for me it is.  I think its a step up on CoverGirl, Revelon, etc., but not as high as other makeup you get in a mall or Mineral veil.  That is why I chose this brand of makeup and it seemed very good for your skin.  Once I bought it, I loved it.  I am so happy I won the Grand Prize.

 I like Merele Norman's. When I go to the mall I go in and have a work over.The gal cuts loose and has a blast on me. Always doing something different. I love all the fuss. Found out I can wear several colors. She usually does a three way. Gorgeous.  Last week I was watching a lady, have her eye brows put on permanently. OW!  Don't think I could ever go threw that. She said it was worth it. Now they won't come off when she goes in swimming.

Well I got my Grand Prize from Physicians Formula.  I've entered a sweepstakes a while ago when I was at their website doing a little research on whether to buy this product.  As you seen me in previous posts, I was asking  questions about the product and getting advice.  I was so excited to hear that I won (NO strings attached).  I have never won anything online before.  It arrived at my house today and I can't believe how much makeup was in my nicely sized carry on suitcase (Hideo Wakamatsu Design, its pink and from Japan). The Grand Prize  has a retail value of $585 in makeup.  I am set for life with makeup from Physicians Formula.  AWESOME !!

Hey Elvira!
I haven't used any of Mac's skin care products except when I've gotten my makeup done. But whenever I do get my makeup done, I really like how my skin feels:)

I've used a bunch of their foundations. My favorite one is the studio fix . It's a powder but it has great coverage. I once  used glycolic acid to burn a zit on my nose (long story, but seriously this was like a planet sized zit) and I ended up with a huge scab-type thing. The studiofix covered it brilliantly! I was really surprised since I thought a cream wouldve covered better. And it really does last all day. I was working a ten hour shift and I would still have it on when I washed my face at night.

I use their hyper-real now. I like it cuz its shimmery but its subtle and it makes your skin look soo soft. But I don't find the coverage as good.

Um, Ive used alot more , but I don't want to take up a lot of space!:)
In short, I DO recommend their face products. My girlfriend said it made her break out, but she doesn't use cleanser because she thinks that makes her face break out too, so I don't know..:)

I use Dermablend concealer, various other brands. Now I'm interested in the MAC makeup you all are discussing. How is there skin care and face makeup? I've been looking for a good illuminator  but was wondering how there face makeup was?

I use Covergirl and Estee Lauder. I don't get that much from the latter since it is so pricy, I just splurge every once and a while like on a lipstick or blush. I mostly use Covergirl for day to day.

i wear mainly collection 2000 make up or avon brands... im only 15 so cant really afford to buy the expensive stuff anyway... i havent had any problems with it so far  lol
