Just being nosey Wink

There's lots I haven't tried and I want to see what people rate Smile

My favourite varies on the product but overall it's probably MAC Smile

I love Tarte but also love Revlon, Nars, Bobbie Brown, Dior, Clarins, MUA, Make up Revolution, Collection and bits and bobs of other makes such as Gosh, oh and Essence (Wilko)

MinesaPinot · 29/09/2017 13:36

Clinique and Benefit

BluebellGal · 29/09/2017 13:38

I like to try lots of brands but I keep going back to Urban Decay. Their products just work whereas other more expensive brands don't (I'm looking at you CT)

Ducknose · 29/09/2017 13:41

Illamasqua, Urban Decay, Mac for concealers and lipsticks, Charlotte T for bronze and glow, one or two eyeshadows and blusher (really don't rate the rest of her range)

Urban Decay, MAC, Lancome for their Juicy Tubes, and Jane Irdale which I wear everyday on my eyes.

Im Partial to Chelsea Brow too.

OyWithThePoodles · 29/09/2017 13:52

I was a faithful Clinique/Estee Lauder woman, but lately been loving Too Faced and Bourjois.

LifeofClimb · 29/09/2017 13:58

Mac! I also like quite a lot of Seventeen. Bella Pierre has my fave foundation.

DarthMaiden · 29/09/2017 14:02

Bobbi Brown, Hourglass and Charlotte Tilbury.

I also quite like Stilla (love their blushes).

Lottapianos · 29/09/2017 14:03

DeathRay, where do you buy your Tarte products?

I'm not sure I could name one brand overall as my favourite. MAC do an exceptional range of colours and textures but their lipsticks are horribly drying. Maybelline, Revlon and Essence do marvellous lipsticks. Sleek blushers are great. Probably Loreal for mascara

Opheliasgoldenwine · 29/09/2017 14:11

You can buy Tarte on QVC Smile

10 years ago I'd have said MAC without a milliseconds hesitation.

Now I'd probably say Essence or Wet n Wild (both V V widely available here in Ireland, yay!) I appear to be getting cheaper and cheaper!

BluebellGal · 29/09/2017 14:15

Yes CT not the only ones. I was a Nars devotee for blusher, until my third barely used product fell out of the pan. Anyone else noticing a quality decline with their favourite hero products? I also used Bobbi Brown pot eyeliners but they dry out so quickly now I've given up repurchasing.

On the other hand Urban Decay has not let me down. I'm a year into daily wear of their shimmering eye primer and it's still going strong. I may look at their eyeliners lipsticks and blushers now

BoredOnMatLeave · 29/09/2017 14:15

Dior and Benefit

coffeekittens · 29/09/2017 14:16

Lancome, benefit, urban decay, sleek, collection, maybelline and the balm

tehmina23 · 29/09/2017 14:18

Clinique

dippyeggsandtoast · 29/09/2017 14:20

Armani by a long shot.

Sparkletastic · 29/09/2017 14:21

Urban Decay for shadows and eyeliners
MAC for lip liners and lipsticks
Nars for blushers

Yes I’ve totally cheated and given 3 favourites Blush

BulletFox · 29/09/2017 14:27

I'm not 'sophisticated' when it comes to makeup, I usually put on a bit of liner, mascara, sometimes sheer foundation, coverup.

I bought some bella pierre banana setting powder recently & was perplexed by it. I'd balk at the sight of a contouring stick.

Actually everything is Inika, Elizabeth Arden or Barry M.

misslomi · 29/09/2017 14:27

Had my makeup done at No.7 the other day and fallen in love with their foundation!

WaitrosePigeon · 29/09/2017 14:30

Bare Minerals and Rimmel.

TheBitterBoy · 29/09/2017 14:32

I seem to have a lot of Bourjois at the moment, especially for foundations/cc/concealers. I guess they suit my skin.

DaisyRenton18 · 29/09/2017 14:45

Bobbi Brown for all things face - no doubt about it. I repeat buy and repeat buy. Wearing a full BB face today and it just lifts my confidence in my less than average face like no other brand seems able to.
Eyeshadow - Urban Decay.
Best 'all rounder/everything in one palette ' - Charlotte Tilbury.

DuckOffAutocorrectYouShiv · 29/09/2017 14:48

It depends on what the product. I find certain brands better for certain products. If I had to choose one brand forever it would be YSL (or Dior but their foundation colour range is v limited).

loveisenough · 29/09/2017 14:57

Clinique for CC cream and mascara
Bobbi Brown for gel eyeliner
Other make up is a variety of No7, Benefit, Rimmel
