Only one or two brands?

wvumountiefan — Tue, 20 Dec 2016 18:14:59 GMT

If you could only buy and use one or no more than two brands of makeup, which ones would you chose? Just thought this would be fun.

Mine would be Makeup Geek and Kat Von D. I think that would cover all my bases. Lol

That's a difficult one to answer because I bet most of us have favorite brands for different types of makeup. Could we give our favorites for each type? :-)

@suzyQ3 Sure, that will be just as fun to read. I really like hearing what some gals like or don't like and why..😊

NYX and elf. I don't wear foundation so it's pretty simple for me but I'd like to hold on to all my lipsticks!

If I had a gun to my head and had to limit myself to two brands I'd pick Cover Girl and tarte.

Based on % of products and how often I reach for them, mine would be bareMinerals and Maybelline.

But I'm not limiting myself to those 2, and you can't make me!!!

Oh, I really didn't play nicely, so I'm going to amend my post by striking out those that are on my second or third tier and leave the top tier as is.

That was very painful. :-(

Hmm. You didn't specify whether this had to be realistic. If not, Peter Thomas Roth for skin and Dior for color.

Tom Ford for everything but foundation which is now holy grail status, Cream De Le Mer Fluid Longwear Foundation.
