Re: Doing a makeup overhaul! Please help!
moisturizer- i use the one my dermatologist's spa sells. its comparable in price to others ($15 for a jar that lasts me months) but works very well for my skin.
foundation- i rarely wear foundation, but when I do, I like that new L'oreal roller one. I've tried so many and they all seem too heavy (especially MAC). I occasionally wear powder - either MAC Studio Fix or Physicians Formula pressed powder.
blush/bronzer - i love MAC springsheen or apricot, or a cheaper alternative is Neutrogena Apricot
eye shadows - depends. I've tried and hated clinique, estee lauder, lancome, l'oreal, revlon, cover girl, physicians formula. I'm allergic to studio gear. I like Ulta, Nars, stila, urban decay. I like the pigment and the long wear of MAC.
eye liners- i've tried everything. i have allergies and my eyes tear up all day, so I need a waterproof liner. I use Ulta's automatic kohl liner and LOVE it. love love love it. and it goes on sale for $2 sometimes!
mascara - I'm allergic to every one that has fragrance, in addition to dior, benefit, and a ton of others. I love L'oreal - any type - waterproof.
lip stuff - just chapstick for me!

Re: Doing a makeup overhaul! Please help!
Moisturizer-Juice Beauty(organic)
Foundation-Benefit Play Stick or Studio Gear Flawless-benefit gives better coverage
Blush-I use Bare Minerals and Lorac
but would like to try a cream one soon
Eyeshadow-I like Ulta's individual ones that are nice. Kat Von D has a pallette that I bought at Sephora and they are pretty good
I never use liner. I have a slanted brush -I wet it and use my eyeshadows as liner
I use Lash Stiletto Mascara currently and I like it.
Fave lip stuff is Burts Bees tinted lip moisturizer

Re: Doing a makeup overhaul! Please help!
mositurizer - I have been using L'Oreal Revitalift and love it.
foundation - Physician's Formula Talc-Free Mineral Face Powder - I can't use liquid, I am too oily, and this gives me the perfect finish
blush/bronzer - Physician's Formula Shimmer Strips Custom Blush & Highlighter
eye shadows - Ulta shadows are the best, especially when I use Urban Decay Shadow Primer Potion (I have Original and Sin, sometimes I wear Sin by itself!)
eye liners - I swear by Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencils, they have amazing colors and they are so easy to use, plus they last ALL day!
mascara - My standby is Maybelline Full and Soft.
lip stuff - I usually just wear gloss (Stila or Ulta or MAC Lipglass) or Burt's Bee's lip balm.
