yes, know it's been done- but here goes:

C Dior 5 palette eyeshadow- costs and arm and a leg but the colours stay on all day even walking wet and windy hills!

Clinique Repair Wear foundation- a dermo/cosmetic dr told me my skin looked " luminous" and i am sure it was the slap!

Lancome Hypnose mascara

Clinique long last lip gloss- does stay on and is very moisturising- short of colours which suit but Guava Gold is good as a pale nude or on top of darker lippie.

Dior Forever foundation...my perfect colour match and goes on like a dream

Rimmel extra super lash mascara, very cheap and the best one I have ever used.

Bobbi brown shimmer bricks, great for a bit of colour and highlighting.

Also bobbi brown eyebrow brush and eyeshadow in blonde to fill in brows, makes such a difference in looking groomed if you make your brows look good.

viyalumiere

laura mercier tinted moisturiser

hypnose and dior show mascara

have yet to find an eyeshadow or blusher that I love

Soap & Glory Arch de Triumph - real desert island product. And Jemma Kidd eyelash curlers are a-m-a-z-i-n-g, first ones that don't need the rubber lip replacing every month. Better than Shiseido by a country mile.

No7 Intelligent Colour Foundation. It is the only foundation that I have tried (over a wide price range) that looks natural on me.

cabbageroses · 01/02/2011 09:30

I used t o love Prescriptives blusher- now not available. Laura Mercier comes a close 2nd.

Just bought estee Lauder sheer tint moisturiser
i am AMAZED I normally use vitalumiere by chanel

The tint goes on grey-blue then changes colour on your skin to match your skin colour! I look like me but better... And you can see my skin, except it's much much better than normal... It's amazing.

I wish I'd bought the new estee lauder eyeshadow too that I tried on, instead i went for bourgeois, which is ok but not quite as light

Agree about CDior 5 palette eyeshadow, I was bought one by someone about two years ago and it's still going strong. Colours stay all day long and all work well together - I have brown-ish shades.

Bare minerals - foundation and concealer are both fab.

Mac mascara - not sure which one, but it's a silver tuby thing with black print on it. Fab.

Laura mercier secret conceler

Benefit highlighter

polyhymnia · 01/02/2011 09:46

Laura Mercier, Chantecaille, and By Terry tinted moisturisers. Becca Luminous Skin Colour.

Bobbi Brown or By Terry cream blushers.

Becca cream eye shadow - called Eye Tint. Baroque is my favourite colour.

Jelly pong pong extending mascara. Forgive the silly name as this stuff is amazing!

ullainga · 01/02/2011 09:49

I've tried oh..I think hundreds of mascaras and always come back to my trusted DiorShow.

daimbardiva · 01/02/2011 09:50

Tweezerman eyelash curlers - I am an eyelash curler addict, and these are by far the best I've tried.

Barbara Daly at Tesco "Goodbye Yellow" clear polish. Terrible name, but it basically makes you look like you've had a french manicure with no effort, amazing stuff.

Face Lift tinted moisturiser from the same range

Gillybobs · 01/02/2011 10:06

Rimmels new Lasting Finish 25 hr foundation - dewy and long lasting - a combination that has until eluded me - currently on offer in Tesco £4.66 (honestly)

Bobbi Brown Blusher - Apricot or Nectar - takes 5 years off me

Bobbi Brown Lippy - Blondie Pink or nude - creamy but lasts for ages

beijingaling · 01/02/2011 10:11

Posytint by benefit

Hypnose mascara

Coco chanel lipstick (is that the name?) the latest range that is supposed to be most natural

That gal by benefit- gives my English rose skin a boost

Cosmetics a la cart foundation. Amazing and blended to your skin tone and coverage requirements but must go to the London shop.

Mac eyeshadow and liner for dramatic evening eyes

Bobbi brown eyeshadow for day eyes

Chanel retractable waterproof eyeliner

Bobbi brown gel eye liner and brush

Another vote for Soap & Glory Arch de Triumph.
And I love my Nars blusher in Orgasm

Cristiane · 01/02/2011 13:21

katy Yes, it's the daywear one. It is a one shade thing. I absolutely love it! It is so light, but seems to be perfect. Have only used a wee touch of concealer under eyes and on a spot and a dab of powder on my nose. And I don't have great skin by any stretch but it seems fine. Good luck with it
