What are some makeup products that you absolutely love and can't live without? That way if the rest of us are looking for something, we can see what others really like.

Here are some of mine....
For the face: Cover Girl Aquasmooth foundation, Bare Minerals mineral veil powder, Benefit Shangri La Sheers blush (discontinued, so hard to find), Physicians Formula shimmer strips bronzer

For the eyes: Rimmel Lycra Lash extender mascara, Rimmel Kohl eyeliner, Victorias Secret Very Sexy liquid eyeliner and glitter eye liner, any shimmery loose eyeshadow

For the lips: Dessert beauty plumping lip glosses, Maybelline wet shine lipstick, Bonne Bell lip lites

I have a face powder that has SPF in it that I buy from my dermatologist-- I love it!

My Kohl eyeliner.
I can look nice without overloading my face.

I use so many different brands it isn't funny!

For foundation I use Revlon Colorstay. I'm not sure what the brand is for my powder. I believe it's Revlon also. For eyeshadows I use MAC pigments, Charlotte Russe pigments, NYX, CG shadows, Physicians Formula, Clinique, Lancome, L'oreal Bare Naturale. Most of my lipglosses come from CG or Revlon. I have a few from MAC also. My lashes I use Clinique and my eyeliner I use Mary Kay. That's my collection!

I can NOT live without Max Factor mascara. I love covergirl eyeshadow. That Almay smart color blush is pretty much amazing, but you have to put it on in layers so it blends well and doesn't get too pink. I live in Flirt! foundation, but in the winter it dries my skin out a little too much...

Any tips for a good winter foundation?

Revlon Colorstay works great for me all times of the year.

does anyone have any good Ideas for eye liner, I wear contacts so it has to be safe for contacts, Currently using one by covergirl but its drying my eyes out and the Rimmel london stuff tears my contacts,

Also A plus tip i wanna share is Covergirls Clear Professionals Mascara. Its about $3.67 a tube, maybe a dollor more, Its clear. The black pigment in mascara makes my eyelashes fall out. did the same to my mom. The Clear Professionals is a clean cut look great for the buisness industry. =)

My face i use CG true blend, and i love it and i follow it with CG true blend powder.

Eyeshawdows i vary, Maybeline, to CG, anything i like.

My lips dry out and chap way to easy so i use Softlips chapstick, or Avon Glaze wear, or CQ Silk Lustrous lip color.

CQ Silk Lustrous lip color

JK, is that the cheapy lipstick from Walmart? I've seen that and wondered if it was any good because I never see any reviews about it. I have lips that dry very easily too!

Have you tried any Kohl eyeliner? Kohl eyeliner is supposed to be non-irritating for the eyes. I put it on the inner rims of my eyes on the bottom and I never get any irritation or discomfort. I use one by Rimmel, but I'm not sure which you tried by Rimmel that did not work for you. I heard MAC's kohl pencil eyeliner is supposed to be pretty good. I also wear contacts.. not every day but I have color contacts I wear on occasion and I'm able to wear my makeup the same way.

AmberD, does Revlon Colorstay work for acne prone skin? I don't know if it is oil free. Sounds like you are very happy with the product. I just break out easily lately even though my skin is not very oily. Also, how do the Charlotte Russe pigments work? I have been wanting to try the MAC ones as well but I'm sure Charlotte Ruse ones are pretty cheap!

I don't personally use ColorStay but I haven't heard it causing break outs of acne. MY sister uses it and has always struggled with acne...she's used all kinds of expensive foundations and has found this to work great for her. Colorstay is available in oil free and not oily free so be sure you get the right one for oily skin. I use Revlon's New Complexion foundation, it's a cream foundation. I don't have problems with acne though. This is my current favorite foundation.

BeaTrade,

I get the CQ Silk lustrous lip color at Wal Mart In the store i find it in, its in the same isle as the nails just on the opposite side, I use the Flash #02, its 8 fl oz, and Made from Germany. The tips on them twist up and come out the cap. But I love mine. Its really cheap. I think i paid $1.47 for mine a few months ago and I use it daily for work. It doesnt make my lips any dryer, I found its helped escpecially in the winter, it keeps them moist. I would recomend the product to the world, I love it and think you might too. They come in different colors!

tUrRrA-
No I dont belive i have, But im not exactly sure. I know any products by Rimmel bother me. I have to wear contacts 24/7 or glasses, I am very badly blind if i dont. So my make up has to be contact safe.


Hope ya all have a good night!

Yeah me too, every Rimmel product I've tried has been irritating to me. Mascara and lipstick is what I've used...seems like something else too. OH I did have good luck with the blush...I almost forgot about that. If you buy at the drugstores they are great for being able to return all cosmetics so you don't have anything to lose really! Just time. OH yeah, I remember now the eye liner pencil makes my eyes burn too!

Thanks for that information about the CQ, I'll look next time I'm at Wallyworld!

Yup no problem! Hope it works wonders for you like it has for me!

JK;)
