Different brands of make-up? - Beauty & Cosmetics Message Board

BettyRose · 02-26-2003, 07:31 AM

I was reading a post about good drugstore make-up and I noticed that a lot of people (almost everyone who responded) use several different brands of make-up on their faces.

I know I use Mary Kay cleanser, foundation and eye liner - Neutrogena blush and mascara, Rimmel or Cover Girl eyeshadow and for lipstick I use Revlon and Neutrogena - at the same time - it gives my lips a different shade.

I guess I'm just curious to see if I'm the only one who uses so many different products. I've been doing it for years so I can't imagine that it's bad for my skin (unless someone proves otherwise).

Anyone else out there do this too? If so, how many different kinds do you use?

Hi Betty
I believe you read my post about drugstore makeup

I also use different product brands. Its very common for people to do that. So, no, your not alone. I use different cleansers, moisterizers, lipstick, blush.... Just about everything I have is from a different company except for 2 items.

Betty, I also use many brands of makeup, cleansers, etc. I am always ready to try a new product and find that I have favorites from many different brands. I prefer foundations from cosmetic counters in department stores, especially Prescriptives and Estee Lauder, but most of my cleansers are drugstore items. I have found some very good products from TV shopping channels and use them.

It would be interesting to hear comments from other readers.

Yep, me too - Neutrogena foundation/pressed powder, Maybelline mascara, Loreal and Cover Girl eye shadows, and then Revlon skin lights. Of course don't usually wear it all at once, but overall that's what I use.

i think is safe to say we alll use a million different companies to get the make up deed done
think about it one company cant have the best everything for every skin type ty different things and if they dont do what they said try returning them
