Default Fave make up brands

I was wondering what all your fave make up brands and products are
at the present my two fave brands are http://www.aromaleigh.com/ the sonic rocks eyeshadows are so amazingly bright.

and http://morganaminerals.com/shop/ the website doesn't look like much but let me tell you, the lipsticks are the best I have ever used. Super long lasting but not drying. and the owner is super nice.

What about you?

not to be rude, but I'm sure there's a thread/topic that already exists. the trick is to make it show posts from the begginning; it usually just shows the past month.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Aromaleigh they have the only foundation I've found so far that matches my complexion. In fact I'm getting ready to place a new order!!

On the pricey side I love Guerlain too, they do a wonderful ivory eyeliner that is great to make the eyes pop, and their G Rouge lipsticks are amazing!

I don't know that we had this as a recent post, the last one I remember was about beautiful packaging.

I have not tried the foundations yet, but I want to. I'm in between most shades I have tried.
I have just been so overwhelmed by all the eyeshadow colors! I want them all!

And have you seen SugerPill yet? http://www.sugarpillshop.com/ I'm wondering how that will be. the colors look great.

I saw the launch yesterday. The stuff looks good, I'm loving the packaging, it'll be interesting to see how much she adds as things move on.

My favorite make-up brand was Estee Lauder's Perscriptives line, but sadly they recently went under
It's a shame because the great thing about Perscriptives was their custom blend options. At select Perscriptive counters you could have custome blended foundation, powder and lipgloss made. My skin is so pale, it's impossible finding anything that works with my skin and Perscriptives was the answer. It was so light too! I don't know what I'm going to do when my bottle runs out now ;_;

I also love Aromaleigh. Their eyeshadows are gorgous!
MAC has some great stuff too.

I've had the same foundation problem since I was in high school, the aromaleigh alabaster is a great foundation for paler skin and much healthier looking than the usual straight up whites a lot of places sell

I'm going to go join the Aromaleigh love boat, I love the eyeshadows. The colors always have a lot of depth and shimmer in them.

Miss.X cosmetics is expensive, so I only have a brush set and one eyeshadow and one liner but they certaintly don't dissapoint. It's hard finding a good red (because most aren't pigmented enough or turn out being hot pink or orange instead of a true red) but my red from Miss.X is the PERFECT red, and it lasts forever. The eyeliner is also longlasting, but it doesn't like to wash off at all. The brushes are awesome and not just because they're this lovely black and red color scheme, but also because they're so lovely and soft. I just want to rub them on my face, which is what they're for.

Lash Stiletto mascara is also wonderful and gives lots of length to lashes. I forget the name of the brand, but I bought it at a drug store for around 8$ so it's a good price, and I'm picky with my mascara.

Loreal High intensity pigmentd is really good. I got a black eyeshadow and I wet a thin paintbrush and use it like eyeliner, and it works really well. as a liquid eyeliner it's nice and opaque, which is hard to find. I also like Loreals truematch foundation, as it was the palest I could hope to find for my skin tone. Though recently I've been using a skin lightening scrub on my body and face so it's actually a shade too dark. D:

Thank you so much for the reccomendation! I will definately give it a shot when my bottle runs out.
I originally used Lancome's Ivory 1 foundation which was great, but then they discountinued it. After floundering around I finally found Perscriptives and now they're discontinuing that too. I feel like I am cursed LOL
I just hope that Aromaleigh will break the curse for me XD
