Mine would be ELF. Affordable, cruelty free and contains near exact dupes of higher end products. Could do a full face with 3-4 products.

I like a huge variety, however my go to is either Mac or Elf, depending on your budget, I would say Mac is the best but if I can’t afford it mostly happy with elf, but would always choose a Mac foundation.

Pat McGrath

great quality - affordable - and one of the few ranges I’m not allergic to!

Comedycook · 03/06/2024 18:23

Max factor. It's a good all rounder imo.

@Scribbless99 could never get behind MAC which was horrible for me when it was all the rage in my teens 🙈 my sister was and still is obsessed though. I still love their plumping lip gloss (though got quite the fright when I put it on not realizing it was plumping!!)

@Littleguggi Seen that brand everywhere but never tried! Might pick something up in the future!

@Thisisthedawningoftheageofaquarius I loved their healthy mix foundation! It was the first one I owned that was the perfect shade match (robbed off my sister of course!)

@Comedycook love Max Factor!! So affordable, so pigmented! Really get a bang for your buck

Such a good brand! I feel like they’re on the same level as ELF. Love their jumbo pencils, dual contour wands & eyebrow gels!!

Either Victoria Beckham or Lisa Eldridge. Can’t decide. Love both of them.

Rare beauty or charlotte tilbury.

Love Charlotte Tilbury, though I find the ELF dupes just overall more affordable for the same product. Love her setting spray & mascaras, but wasn’t too fond of the beauty wands. Packaging was just too messy 🙈 ended up with far more bronzer & blush than intended

Lisa Eldridge or NYX for a more budget friendly option.

Letsgotitans · 03/06/2024 18:44

All earth minerals. Only thing they are missing is a mascara though, that is one of my day to day essentials! Everything is lovely though and zero waste packaging.

DaffydownClock · 03/06/2024 18:46

Clinique although I would love to try one of the extremely expensive brands like Chanel or YSL 😊

keffie12 · 03/06/2024 18:48

Dermalogica (Primer - I won't use anything else) and it would Charlotte Tilbury for everything else

LadyWiddiothethird · 03/06/2024 18:52

Clinique.

PatsyStonesBeehive · 03/06/2024 18:54

I would have said Marc Jacobs... god, I loved his powders, but he discontinued his make up line. (Arsehole!)

Next choice would be Armani.

mdinbc · 03/06/2024 18:55

Most of my stuff is L'Oreal, with some from Marcelle (a Canadian Brand). So nothing too expensive for me!

Summerhillsquare · 03/06/2024 18:57

Stila, although it does err on the sparkly side.

JigMap · 03/06/2024 19:05

Dior.

MaltipooMama · 03/06/2024 19:05

Another vote for Charlotte Tilbury for me!

joan12 · 03/06/2024 19:07

Oh I love Stila! So delighted to see another fan!

But if I could only have one it would be Clarins.

Viviennemary · 03/06/2024 19:09

Probably estee lauder though they discontinued my foundation.
