Mac is the ultimate brand for me There skincare is really good and the makeup is AMAZING!!!! I know people think it’s expensive but compared to Bobbi Brown, Channel etc. it’s pretty good!

Dermalogica all the way! I’ve been using it for the last 3 or 4 years and I’m just afraid to chance anything else!
Also I love Clarins Eye Makeup Remover (Heavy Makeup Sensitive Eyes) but if that doesn’t work or I’m all out I find the Dermalogica Precleanse does the job!

As for makeup its Aveda or Clarins for Foundation, Mac for Blusher (I’ve tried Benefit and wasn’t a big fan!) and Mac/Clarins/Clinique for Eyeshadow. Rimmel or Clinique for Eyeliner and Clinique/Esteé Lauder/Lancome for Mascara.
Oh and I love my Aveda Beetroot Lip Gloss!

And Aveda for my Hair too! – Be Curly, it smells amazing!

I trust Clinique for fake tan, eye make up and lipgloss. However, I find that their 3 step system only aggravates my skin. MAC Studio Tech in NC20 is a must have in my make up bag along with the Mineralise powder.. St Tropez bronzer…MAC eyeshadows are amazing apart from their unfortunate tendency to slip from my hands/counter and in a horrible slow motion movement, smash into beautifully coloured smithereens all over the úrlár. Nightmare! I also swear by Dermalogica skincare and Pro Activ (yes, the Jessica Simpson ProActiv), for blemishes.Oh Benefit is pretty fab too (love High Beam), Stila lipglosses.

As someone else said there, I rarely mix church and state But if i had to pick one brand for both, probably Prescriptives.

Dermalogica cleanse, tone, booster and active moist all the way !!! i got the clinque 3 step in macys on a new york trip a while back and it RUINED my skin left my poor face dehydrated and blotchy, never again. Make-up wise i use benefit you rebel light during the day and chanel vitaluimere when i go out at night, along with their loose powder on my T-zone, its the best, has a lovely glow to it Im a huge fan of badgal lash mascara, most people dont seem to be, along with dallas (i heart it,wear it everyday)and high brow, with a touch of estee lauder black eyeliner

Weird; I’d never think of using Lancome! I swear by Dermalogica for skincare (and the E45 facial night cream), and Benefit and the Irish brand Fuschia for makeup. Oh, and Max Factor for mascara – very va va voom! I’ve tried and tested and broken out in a rash from so many other makeup brands that I’ll stick with these for as long as they work!

I swear by Clinique City Block! Super City Block F40 that is. I’ve been using it for years and it can be used around the eyes as well.
I loved their workout make up, then they discontinued it and now I’m a fan of superfit makeup. I have oily skin and it’s oil free and longlasting and it’s light and sheer. I also use the super glossy mascara. Oh and clinique sienna eyeshadow On the moisturiser side, I use Avon Rejuvinate Day and Night cream and recently started using their dermafull serum at night. So far so good.

I’m more of an Estee Lauder gal myself- for skincare and make-up. Love Laura Mercier for make-up too, and occasionally Benefit and Yves St Laurent (love their lipsticks). Chanel if I feel like a splurge. I’ve never liked Clinique particularly– always made me break out– and although I’ve wanted to like MAC, their counters & assistants always scare me– so many of them look like clowns and the counter’s swarmed with teenagers.

I buy more MAC then any other brand but i dont trust it as a brand because they are way to overpriced and shouldnt be for the quantity and sumtimes quality (prime example – dazzleglass)! i trusxt neutrogena for skincare and i also trust st ives! they do as they claim are reasonably priced and do wonders for my skin! i dont think i found a makeup brand that i trust – i try anything iam not loyal to just one brand, iam loving illamasqua at the moment but only time will tell. Barry M ticks all the boxes for me so i’d say that wud be the brand i trust the most!
