I do not wear just one brand of makeup. All brands of makeup offer something different in each category. I use Avon for there eyeshadow. I use loreal ,covergirl and Jane for concelear. And now my powder i use covergirl and clinque. I have used so many different brands of makeup for everything. My mascars i only use covergirl because they have the right type of brush for that and my mascara just has to be right since i have alot of mascara to put on everyday. Do you use only one brand and if so what brand if not what brands do you use?

No I don't use only just one brand! I got different brands for everything! I use MAC's eye shadows, Maybelline's mascara, Bare Escentuals Blush, MAC's eye liner, and MAC's lipsticks. I just bought an eye shadow palette of 88 colors from another brand today and am eager to try out, it was such a good deal because it costs only $28 only! *laughs*.

I seldom wear make up. I only use lip stick, eyelash pomade. I don't care the brand very much. It depends on the color.

I agree, I think different brand name combines make fitter whole make up for us. I like Shiseido base and powder, MAC/bobby brown/lancome eye shadow, lancome/chanel/maybeline mascara,chanel/MAC/shisedo lipstick etc.

I personally use a variety of my "regular" brands. I switch between Boots, MAC, and CoverGirl for my foundation. I try to use MAC, though, because they don't test on animals and have an overall better quality makeup. When I can't afford that, though, I usually resort to Boots (semi-expensive) or CoverGirl (least expensive). As for eyeliner, I usually stick with my Revlon Colorstay. Revlon also doesn't test on animals, which I totally appreciate. It also has a very BLACK black. (Does anyone else notice that some BLACKS just turn out grey, or aren't dark enough? Or is this just me? lol). I also like MAC's black kohl, although it's not waterproof. My #1 mascara choice is definitely MAC Zoom Lash. It definitely lasts forever and totally works. =) I also like MAC and Victoria's Secret lip gloss - although I have to admit I usually just use chapstick (unless I'm going to a special occasion or something). I see that a lot of people are talking about bare minerals/bare essentials - I honestly can't stand this stuff. I prefer using a liquid primer and foundation and THEN using a powder matte or bronzer. Powder foundation, like Bare Minerals, just doesn't WORK for me. =(

Nope I don't stick to just one brand. I am like you...a few brands for different make up. I use Maybelline Lipstick, Avon Shiny Lipgloss, Maybelline eyeshadow, Amway Artistry eyeshadow. I only use these stuff for make up. No foundation or mascara. Can't use eyeliner or mascara as my eyes are sensitive no matter how expensive the brand may be. We used to have the covergirl range in the malls but some how it has been off the shelf for more than 10 years already. When it was being sold, I did use the eyeshadow.

I used to utilize one brand before, MAC. I love Mac make-up but it's kind of expensive that's why i've decided to use other cheaper brands such as Maybelline.. i don't wear make-up everyday but if i do i just apply face powder, cheek tint and lip balm.. when there's an important occasion that i need to attend to i apply eye shadow, mascara and lipstick..

I wear what's on sale haha! Usually I go to Dollar Store and get Cover Girl. I also like Avon mascara and lip gloss. Not a good idea to skimp on foundation.

I don't wear make up everyday, but when I do, they are all different brands, but usually the cheap ones. I try to avoid Sephora because I feel like a kid at the candy shop and want to get a lot while one item is already like $50 and I don't even wear make up much.

Yes I do wear more than one brand. I use bare minerals for my foundation, cover girl for my mascara. I use all different brands for my eye shadow. I like stilla and nars for my lipsticks and lipgloss. I love makeup and i like trying all different kinds

I use Bare Minerals or Aveda. I also throw in the brands you mentioned. I like Bare Minerals because my face looks flawless when I finish it. The concealer is wonderful. I like Aveda especially for lipstick as they tend to use healthier ingredients and I like the colors. The Bare Minerals and Lancome Mascara works for me because a lot of the brands make my eyes itch. I have not had any problems with the two I mentioned.

my faviot makeup brand is M.A.C, but it s kind of expensive. i think M.A.C is amazing. but if your looking for cheaper alternatives i recomend coastal sence they have really pretty loose pigment eyeshadows, that you can press yourself (if you want to know how, send me a comment and i'll tell you how, pressed is when it's compacted down, like in covergirl eyeshadows). they also have an 88 eyeshadow palette thats really pretty, with many bright and neutral colors and a huge blush palete with i believe it's a siz piece set. another brand with good eyeshadows is Jesse's Girl. NYX is another good brand. i like their lip glosses and eyeshadows. hope it helped :D

I mainly get Revlon or Covergirl but there are a few other brands I would buy. I think N.Y.C. is the cheapest brand but I love their lipgloss and its definately a brand that everyone can afford. I think Wet n Wild is the other one. They have decent make up too.

I'm absolutely spontaneous when it comes to makeup shopping. I'll go for whatever brand/product has the shade I'm looking for, or whatever is on sale, lol.

I mix brands as well. For lip and eye colors, I use Estee Lauder and Revlon. Foundation and sunblock are from Dermalogical; face powder from Averine.

Well I used to use just whatever brand I found at local stores and whatever was the cheapest, but I recently started wearing handmade mineral makeup, which can be found on etsy.com, and am sticking with that! It's free of junk, and my acne scarred face has been healing very well from it, so I'm in love with it. I do use Laura Geller's creamy black mascara though. I've not tried many mascaras, so I don't know if it's the best, but I like it quite well. I've also noticed that the mineral eyeshadow I've been using has a really nice shimmer to it. I was using some sort of matte eyeshadow from L'oreal, which didn't look very good.
