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.

No7 if I'm skint, Mac, or Clinique if I'm not, in reality, a mixture of all 3 with the odd bit of Urban Decay & Benefit thrown in. I've never tried any of the mega expensive brands, I just can't afford them.

Like a pp, I'm pretty much exclusively Beauty Pie already.

If money was no object, I'd go Victoria Beckham all the way.

Clinique-
Estee lauder
Dior

Oops that's 3!

Lisa Eldridge or NYX for a more budget friendly option.

Love Lisa Eldridge, reliably brilliant.

Definitely hourglass. Reliably excellent so would be able to live with the full range.

Increasingly lately Dior, love a Clinique mascara

Pricey but lasts ages, amazing colours and textures. Space NK stocks it or you can go to their boutique in Paris and let them flatter you 😁

ZazieBeth · 04/06/2024 06:20

Chantecaille, beautiful colours and textures generally. But crucially it does best mascara I’ve ever had, so I’nm definitely keeping that as mascara is the most important thing for me.

FormerlySpeckledyHen · 04/06/2024 06:39

ELF fans - what are your recommendations please?

Chantecaille, without a doubt and all the money in the world.

laura Mercier second

rare beauty

but I don’t really wear it :) -

I have to agree. Chantecaille for me too.

DressDilemma · 04/06/2024 07:32

Armani. There is not one product in their makeup range that I don't love.

NippyCrab · 04/06/2024 18:27

Someone mentioned Bourjois above and I used to love their lip gloss, I moved on to other brands but I'll have to go and try one again. I don't wear a lot of make up but seem to have a bit of a collection 🤔 haha. It's an addiction.
I like:
Bare minerals powder foundation
Nars BB and pressed powder
Clinique CC
Laura Mercier powder
MAC powder
Elf blush and powder
Anastasia Beverly Hills pallettes
I don't have a foundation, I can't get a liquid I like that's not too heavy.
I'm an addict for lip gloss.

Bourjois did my all time favourite kohl pencil. The best colour ever on me but the fe*kers discontinued it. Sad
