Everywhere!

I am not loyal to one brand at all, but I am currently on a Smashbox kick, with their primer, foundation & sculpting kit.

are you looking for anything in particular. Anything you don't like about the MAC products you use?

Re: Makeup

I have allergies, so I'm mostly Clinique and Physicians Formula. I do enjoy NARS blush, though, and I like Neutrogena mascara.

Would like to try that new Bare Escentuals liquid foundation, but I'm poor at the moment.

Re: Makeup

A whole bunch of places! LOL

I love:

Urban Decay's eye shadow primer
Urban Decay's Naked Palettes - I have 1, 2, 3 and the basic set. I mix and match between those.
Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer
Bare Escentials matte foundation and bronzer
Sumita Color Contrast Eyeliner
Almay liquid eyeliner
L'oreal Power Volume 24 Hour Mascara
All my lip glosses are from drug stores and they are all different brands - I have a bit of an obsession with gloss! Lol

Mostly MAC since I get my make up done A LOT
At the airport this past weekend, there was a Benefit vending machine. I bought their "yes they're real" mascara. Aaaaamaaaaziiiinggggggg


Marc Jacobs has the best eye shadows I have ever used. Absolutely incredible! I'm sure the rest of the line is fantastic.

I have a little bit of this and a little bit of that when it comes to my makeup drawer, however most of the brands are from Sephora -- Tarte, Makeup Forever HD, Benefit.

I know I'm the odd man out, but I don't like most MAC makeup -- I find the foundation to be greasy feeling and the eye shadows crease fairly easily.

Blush- Malani baked blush





love this! I have been wearing Luminoso for a while & just learned they had a couple of matte shades , so I bought Bella Rosa. It is bright, but looks great when applied lightly.

Re: Makeup

I don't wear too much makeup but this is what I do wear:

I don't see the exact one I have on the website anymore but I have something similar to this from Victoria's Secret that has any color I could ever need in one place.

Hoola Bronzer External Image

The rest of my make-up (eyeliner, mascara, etc.) is Clinique. I don't really wear cover-up or foundation too often but I use Clinique Moisture Surge if I need it. I always buy the big items when they have a bonus so I get the mascara and liner for free Chat Icon

MAC was bought by Estee Lauder who always has tested on animals. They then decided to sell in China, and in order to sell in China you MUST test on animals.
If you are looking for cruelty-free, made in
the US cosmetics, Make Up Geek makes good eye shadows. They also sell, gel eyeliner, loose pigments & blushes but I haven't tried those yet. They are on-line only, but they are very affordable.

Wow! I did not know this... I will stay away from them from now on. With so many advances in biochem etc I find it hard to understand why anyone would agree to test on animals.
