What is the best brand make-up?

Question

I'm looking for quality make-up, rather than cheap stuff to put on my face. Some make-up that I do buy that's expensive doesn't work and some that are less works wonders! So I'm wondering what kind of make-up works best, since I'm going to be spending over hundred of dollars, I might as well get something that has quality in it.

Answer 1

Merle Norman and bare minerals have worked pretty well for me in the past but in my opinion I think that maybelline and some other drug store brands work just as well with out shelling out all the money. But if money is not an issue merle norman or bare minerals

Answer 2

I have worked in cosmetics and here is my honest opinion. There is no one best line...but if you must have one, I would chose MAC, (but not for skincare) Overall then, counting skincare, I chose Lancome. This is not just the best, but also the best deals for good products: I like Biotherm cleansers and toners. They are good products and inexpensive. If you have oily skin you will like their moisterizers, as well. Dryer skin types will like Elizabeth Arden's moisturizers (best deal) or Lancome's(a little more expensive). Makeup base:Lancome. Concealer: Elizabeth Arden, Primers: Elizabeth Arden, Blush:Lancome, Bronzer: Elizabeth Arden (hands down) (and this one comes with a great brush) Lipstick: Estee Lauder, Brow Kit: Benefit, Pencils:MAC, Eye shadow: Lancome, MAC and Sheisedo. Mascara:Clinique. They recently stole the Lancome mascara guy so their new comb on mascara is awesome and cheap. Benefit has some good "fake-its" for problem spot areas, but overall, its not that good of a line. I like their brow kit though, and eye-bright. In summary...Get great skincare from Biotherm and Elizabeth Arden, some great color from Lancome and MAC, a beautiful lipstick from Estee, and fill in with Clinique (a good line for about half the price). Buy skincare "sets" with multiple products in them, plus a bag, at a discounted price (always available at Mother's Day and at Christmas) With the money you save, buy some really good brushes that will last you a lifetime if you take care of them. I like Estee Lauder's...they also have beautiful cobolt blue acrylic handles...sweet. One more thing, buy at a department store and keep your receipt. If you don't like it, you can bring it back with-in 30 days. Anyway, just my educated opinion. Hope it helps.

Arbonne is AWESOME!! It's vegan quality and has a mineral foundation that goes on like the stuff fom bare essentials. You just put on this powder and it looks natural but, covers EVERYTHING. It's so healthy they even say you can sleep in it. You should go to my website and check it out.
