Best makeup?

[BroomForMyChin]

I want to update my makeup bag from the cheap tat I've got to decent makeup.

What's your best beauty buy?

[MamaLazarou]

Garnier Miracle Skin Perfector - basically a really good tinted moisturiser that kind of blurs your imperfections

BeneFit Erase Paste - heavy duty concealer

BeneFit Eye Bright - light pink pencil that hides dark circles and brightens the eye area

Max Factor Miracle Blush - nice creamy blusher in a pretty pink shade

Lancome Hypnose mascara - best mascara ever!

[Moltisanti]

Revlon Colorstay foundation. Good range of shades, stays put fantastically.

Maybelline Dream Matte powder. Works every bit as well as MAC Blot powder but is a third of the price.

Eylure Shape and Shade eyebrow pencils.

Clinique Iced Lotus blush. Pretty pink that makes you look so radiant and naturally pretty!

max Factor flash lash mascara.

NARS Greek Holiday lipgloss. Best lipgloss ever. Makes you look groomed in one slick.

Mac brushes from ebay

For brushes, check out //www.crownbrush.co.uk - there is a minimum purchase amount on there though I think, so you would need to be stocking up. They are nice quality.

Otherwise, you can't go wrong with the Royal foundation brush (about £3 including postage on amazon here).

I bought some end of line Smashbox brushes from Justbeautydirect.co.uk a while ago and they were half price and lovely quality.

I am switching between MAC studio fix and Estee Lauder double wear foundation at the moment - I think neither of them are quite the right colour, despite being 'colour matched' at the counters though....

I use MAC Select loose powder, which is okay - Dior do a nicer one, but I bought the MAC as I had gift vouchers for the MAC store and it's fine, just not as nice as the Dior loose powder.

I like a loose mineral powder blush (got several of the super cheapo Maybelline ones and they're pretty good) although I do use NARS in 'Orgasm' from time to time - it's supposed to be the most amazing blusher ever, but I just find it to be fine/ok to be honest.

Favourite mascara is Diorshow but it's stupidly expensive - just bought an Estee Lauder one as it was bonus time and I was buying foundation so thought may as well to get the free gift - Sumptuous Extreme. It's nice enough I suppose, but still prefer the brush on the Diorshow.

I like MAC lipsticks, also Estee Lauder crystal colour lipsticks are nice and not drying - sheer colours but don't last at all, you do have to reapply quite a bit.

Mally for mascara, blusher, eyeliner, concealer etc
Chanel for lipstick
Benefit for lip/cheek stains, highlighters and their it stick
HDBrows for brow powder
Bare Minerals for foundation
Primers - I have about 6 depending on the effect I want...

To be honest I don't have a make up bag...I have 10 bags and 6 pots...and then a couple of tuff crates with stockpiled beauty products
