Go on, tell us, we're gagging to know!
I'll start off:
Benetint, because I watched SATC and wanted Carrie style rosy cheeks
Laura Mercier Eye Basics in Linen to get rid off poor old veiny eyelids
Stila Lip Glaze in almost any old colour, Sugar Plum at the mo

BunnyLebowski · 27/05/2009 15:25

My bolding isn't working at the mo either womma

Anyway my top 3 are...

Benefit High Beam - love how it lifts my complexion and gives instant radiance!

Max Factor 200 Calorie mascara - the best budget mascara by a mile.

Rimmel Hide the Blemish concealer - been using it since I was 15!

tinseltot · 27/05/2009 16:46

1)Max Factor 2000 calorie mascara

I've tried them ALL and they don't come better than this bad boy. Lashes look super long and thick.

2)Estee Lauder dissapear under eye cover up

This stuff is ace! I have 3 under 4 and a half including a 3 month old am forever getting compliments on how fresh i look thanks to this little weapon.

3)Max Factor lipfinity

Wish i had discovered this ages ago. It really does stay on your lips all day, no need to touch up. Totallly snog proof too!

CHOOGIRL · 27/05/2009 17:57

I travel lots and would not be without Clarins Beauty Flash Balm, Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream and Jo Malone Pomegranate Noir.

Babbity · 27/05/2009 18:00

MAC studio fix (creme powder for normal/combination/oily skin; liquid for normal/dy skin) - fabulous foundation

emulsifying ointment (about £3 from chemist for a heeyuge tub) which I use as a cleanser, face mask, and intensive moisturiser for hard skin on feet hands and elbows (under gloves/socks)

mrsmaidamess · 27/05/2009 19:46

Maybelline Unstoppable is the best.

GetOrfMoiLand · 27/05/2009 19:50

By Terry's Touche Veloute (their equivalent of touche eclat)

Make Up for Tesco Cream Blusher - the best cream blush I have tried for colour, texture and staying power.

No 7 liquid eyeliner

I used to swear by Beauty Flash Balm but now use a cheap cucumber radiance balm by Boots and it is just as good.

BibiThree · 27/05/2009 20:07

Mine are:
Tesco Make Up - even smoother eye base
Tesco make Up - souffle blush
Boots No7 - Intelligent colour foundation
I heart them, they make me look like an alive version of the zombified woman I really am.

lambanana · 27/05/2009 20:32

benetint - instant colour for cheeks and lips

that gal - face primer by benefit can use it under foundation or on it's own

ysl - black khol eyeliner

womma · 27/05/2009 20:52

Brilliant, I'm going to consult this list when I next need to buy something maquillage related.

I want to try the By Terry stuff, but it's so expensive and the colours always look a bit funny on the Space NK website.

three more I love:
Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner in bourbon
stila eyeshadow in wheat
Fresh concealer and foundation
