What brand mnake up do you use and why?

And wehere can I buy it and not break the bank.

I'm a makeup junkie and buy from lots of different brands. I like to use a high-end foundation as I find it difficult to colour match otherwise, plus I just find the quality is better.

At the moment, my daily makeup is as follows:
Illamasqua Light Liquid foundation
Laura Mercier secret camoflage concealer
collection 2000 light diffusing concealer - like touche eclat
urban decay eye shadow primer
illamasqua or stila eyeshadow
mac gel eyeliner
clinique brow pencil
maybelline mascara
benefit and sleek blusher
clinique chubby stick

oh and chanel loose powder, which i only ever buy when i have debenhams vouchers. otherwise i use natural collection from boots which is about £1.99

Normal workday makeup is quite basic
Concealer - Bobbi Brown. I particularly like the corrector for covering dark circles
Foundation - Clinique (specifically Even Better SPF 15. I have been using this for a while, have used Clinique foundation ni general for years as it suits my skin and works)
Blusher - Clinique, MAC or No 7. Today I am wearing Clinique
Mascara - L'Oreal Telescopic False Lash effect
Eyeliner - Benefit Bad Gal, just a tiny bit smudged below the lower lash line.

If I am going out and want to wear eyeshadow I use loads of different brands, but favourites for staying power are MAC and Lancome.

Rarely wear lipstick, am more of a lipgloss person. Current favourite is one I got with Glossybox - Jelly Pong Pong.

If I can be bothered to do my eyebrows (which is rare, as I have a fringe and they're normally hidden) I use an HD Brow kit which again was from Glossybox.

I guess I prefer higher end cosmetics, with mid-range for mascara and blusher and will use any old eyeshadow though I think the pigments in the more expesnive ones are better.

Garnier BB cream
Clinique foundation
Boots no17 eyeliner
Clinique eyshadows
Lancome mascara
Rimmel blush
Max Factor lipstick but it varies

Estee Lauder tinted moisturiser, revitalist foundation, eyeshadow, gloss and then also blusher, concealer, lipsticks which were free samples but last ages. Curious about Laura Mercier now...

Mostly Chanel, from duty frees.
Great lipsticks and eye pencils and I like the chic, muted color range a lot. Also love the eye shadows and primer.
Shiseido for brows, Guerlain for powders, Eucerin for winter skin.

I'm allergic to something in cosmetics and that limits my choices - Dior, Clinique and Maybelline make my eyes red and skin itchy.

Oh and Armani make the best lip gloss.
