Re: What Makeup Brand Have You Tried Recently - And Now Love?

Laura Gellar balance and brighten. I've tries Bare Minerals, Tarte, and many Dept. Store brands, and her's is the best for ease of application and coverage. Looks so natural!!

Re: What Makeup Brand Have You Tried Recently - And Now Love?

Yes on the TooFaced Melted Lipsticks and the LipPrimer in the blue tube, I just bought the Glossy lip primer yesterday,

Rimmel: their glosses and gel eyeliners and Kate  Moss lipsticks, prices are such that if you don't like not a big deal.

 

 

Nothing HE recently, although I just saw some fabulous new Chanel eyeliners that I am mulling over,  I buy at all price points,

Re: What Makeup Brand Have You Tried Recently - And Now Love?

I can only be hooked for so long and then I move on.  I may still love the brand but I look at other brands.  One item that surprised me was e.l.f. foundation for $6 and their clear lip liner $3.  The foundation has a beautiful finish (but not many shades) and the clear lip liner keeps the lipstick on the lips.  The one brand I love is Laura Mercier.

Re: What Makeup Brand Have You Tried Recently - And Now Love?

Is the question really makeup brand or should it be what product have you tried recently and now love?  For me the product would be IT's Lipgloss Stains.  They are simply marvelous.  Everything stated about how moisturizing they are and how long lasting they wear is TRUE!  Even when I try to wipe the gloss off my lips retain a lovely pink hue until a maekup removing cleanser is applied.

Re: What Makeup Brand Have You Tried Recently - And Now Love?

I have narrowed my foundations to two: Too Faced "Born This Way" and It's CC Cream. Love them both. My surprise is Rimmel's 16-hour lipstick. WOW! I am a retired teacher, I now substitute, and DEMAND a long lasting one. I wear red exclusively and the shade is "Kiss Me You Fool." Lasts forever! (almost)

Re: What Makeup Brand Have You Tried Recently - And Now Love?

I just tried Too Faced about a month ago and now I'm hooked!  I got their Chocolate Bar palette and love it (not a fan of the smell though). UPS delivered a new palette today (neutral colors) and I bought the lipstick Nude Beach at Ulta Saturday (really like it).

 

I also in the last few wks tried NYX buttergloss (got it in a Target beauty box) and I loved it so much I got 2 more colors at Ulta Saturday.  That's all I've tried from that brand.  Their line looks like it's geared toward a younger crowd, so I'm not sure how many things I'm going to try.  But I'm definitely impressed with the gloss.

I am crazy in love with Perricone's No Makeup Makeup Line. I'm using the serum foundation, blush, lipstick, lip gloss, mascara (the BEST ever!), concealer, and the brand new No Eyeshadow Eyeshadow. I just add eyeliner and brow pencil. This and my new Artis Brushes and my face looks really good! BTW, I have not used the Perricone highlighter or bronzer, though.

Urban Decay- has some great shadows

IT Cosmetics - lip stain- 

Laura Geller Baked products with Brush A269171- the blush-contour-bronze & brighten compact love love

 

I am on the hunt for a new primer-  Been a fan of Tarte's Poreless for a long time, and have Kate Somerville's on order, will see how it does.  Got a sample of Murad Invesible protecting shield- Liked the way it felt but I had acne out break.  Will try again, to be sure if it was this or my Skinn- Lip Six balm that was the problem too bad I liked both products

 

Skinn Cosmetics  Lip Six Balm- Set of 3 Orginal, Mulberry, Mango -- these are heavan I am checking to be sure they didn't break me out - might have used to heavy at night.

I like the Flower line (Drew Barrymore's line at Walmart) chubby eyeshadow pencil crayons as well as their taklon nylon makeup brushes -- I bought the teal, green, and gold chubby eyeshadow pencil crayons and all of the makeup brushes.

I am still waiting for them to come out with a lighter shade of the NFF serum foundation. I loved the coverage (light) and finish (satin) but the color was too dark. I will have to check out the new NEE! thanks for the heads up.

 

P.s. the bronzer makes a great eyeshadow.

 

ETA:I just looked up the eyeshadow and it actually looks alot like the bronzer, lol!
