Answer 1

1. Mascara - Mabelline's Great Lash - a tried and true favorite for many years and still used frequently by most makeup artists.
2. Eyeliner - Wet 'n Wild - same formulation as most pricier brands and the colors are great for eyeliner and eyebrow pencil.
3. Eyeshadow - e.l.f. - not a wide range of color but they stay on almost as well as MAC eyeshadows.
4. Lipstick/gloss - e.l.f. - the glosses stay on wonderfully and have a marvelous smell.
5. Blush - Cover Girl Cheekers - small amounts so you don't get tired of a color way before you've used all of it, and the colors are great for most skin tones.
6. Foundation - Neutrogena Mineral Sheers - again, not a lot of shades but works as well for me as Bare Escentuals and stays on well throughout the day - covers very well.
7. Loose Powder - Coty Airspun - another tried and true favorite of many makeup artists.
8. Concealer - Maybelline's conceler pencil - precise, inexpensive, and stays put.
9. Clay Mask - Queen Helene's Mint Julep Masque - rings in at about 4 dollars for a large tube, has a great minty smell, and does wonders for minimizing the look of large pores, very helpful for oily skin.

1- DiorShow Mascara: This mascara makes my lashes soo long and thick, it's my FAVORITE mascara ever!

2- MAC Eye Pencil: I haven't yet found an eyeliner that doesn't smudge, but this is one stays on for a long time with minimum smudging.

3- MAC & Urban Decay: Both of these companies make the best eyeshadow. It's very pigmented and stays on all day without a primer.

4- FLIRT! By Kohl's makes a very good lipstick, I use it in a very light pink color but I can't remember what it's called. My favorite lipglosses are the ones by Victoria's Secret and MAC Lipglass.

5- I don't really use blush, but Clinique makes a very nice one called Soft-Pressed Powder Blusher.

6- The best foundation hands down is Bare Escentuals (Or Bare Minerals, whatever you want to call it!). It's very light but covers well and it doesn't look like you're wearing any makeup. It's over $30 I think, but it's definitely worth it.

8- Bobbi Brown makes a great concealer if you're willing to spend a lot, but otherwise I just use the little concealer sticks from Maybelline.

Answer 5

I use Maybelline mascara, and I love Loreal eye shadows. They come in a variety of colors, and go on beautifully. And I love Revlon "Cherries in the Snow" lipstick. It's a classic color (my mom wore in the '50s), and it's gorgeous when you want red.

Estee Lauder Day Wear Plus (facial moisturizer) is $38 but is the best moisturizer, I think, on the market right now.
