Well, I like Hard Candy, for their colored mascaras.

And then, my friend and I were at Ross the other day, and I found this brand called "City Color" Mineral Shadow, and I'm already kind of in love; the colors are lovely, and this really pretty copper shade lasted all day.

Maybelline is pretty nice too, I think- I love their lip glosses; they have this really pretty purple color, and this orange color that are fun!

I also really like some of Maybelline's 24 Hour Cream Shadows; especially in metallics. :D

And then mehron! It's mostly for cosplay, but I've used it as non-cosplay makeup before, and I came out of it with really neat looking silver mascara. :D

Isn't it just? :D I have the silver metallic powder, and I'd like the get the others, but they're so expensive...

But they'd look so cool as like, eyeliner or something! The only problem is, if you're not careful, silver drops go everywhere, but on the plus side, the end result can be this:

(old pic, sorry; I haven't had time to do it recently. ^^;)

I'm always jealous of people who can wear eyeshadow. My eyes are so deeply sunk that anything on my eyelids but eyeliner just vanishes completely (I can draw a smiley face on my eyelid and it would be utterly invisible). But there are such pretty eyeshadows!

You could maybe get some eyeshadows, and some sort of mixing liquid (I use Mehron, but like, I'm 99.9% sure that there are others out there), and make your own custom liquid eyeliners out of eyeshadows you like, maybe? It'd be a little bit of work, though, so maybe not, depending how much time you hae in the mornings and stuff... ^^;

As an every day make-up, I use the Missha M Perfect Cover BB Cream #13 (my skin is pretty bad so I sometimes mix it with a different BBcream for more coverage). I use the Lancôme Virtuôse Mascara - it's pretty awesome and I know someone who can buy them for less at the airport. Depending on my clothing choice, I add a tiny smudge of grey, dark green or dark blue eyeliner.

(reply from suspended user)

It's one of the best BB creams for me because it comes closest to my skin colour (I'm very pale and it's hell finding a fitting tone) and I think it feels fairly light despite having pretty good coverage, so that's another plus.
It may end up a bit on the "fresh and dewy" side of things - I think that's pretty common with a lot of Korean BBcreams? But it's not too shiny for me. You might use a tiny dab of powder on the t-zone, though, if you don't like shiny at all. It isn't sticky or greasy after applying, but can turn to slightly greasy after a very long day.

As I said, I have #13, which is the lightest shade. There are a lot of pretty good colour swatches around.
Hope I could help!

Collistar I think. Pippa and Body Shop are no too bad. Clinique has nice mascara.
Bobbi Brawn seems promising, but can't recommend yet.

My skin's quite sensitive.

Usually something like BB cream, cat eyes, mascara. I use various brands, but Holika Holika is a favourite of mine, just wish it was easier to get. Probably the best eye makeup I've ever used is organic powdered eyeliner that you can buy online.

Yay makeup! I wear makeup if I leave the house, so pretty much every day.

I use Ole Henriksen sunblock as primer (it's one of few sunblocks that doesn't make your face super white in pictures), and then Missha BB Cream #27. Nars blush. Orgasm if I want to go pink. Luster if I want a more "natural" look. Stila eyeliner. Nars Larger Than Life Mascara. Korres lip butter in Corral.

Sometimes, if I want red lips, I use Nars matte lip pencil in Cruella. It's a lip pencil, but it's perfect as a lipstick and it's super easy. If I want something more formal, then it's Mac's Russian Red (I have the Wonder Woman version!) or Bite Beauty's cashmere lip cream in Rioja. Bite's cashmere lip cream is GORGEOUS, it doesn't smear for me, and it'll stay on for a long time. c:

It's like you just spoke another language at me haha! (I've no idea what my brand is - something cheap and basic)

My daily makeup routine is pretty basic. I do a wing liner everyday with Wet'n'Wild, usually the Color Icon pencils. Sometimes I'll add lipstick too, but as I tend to run to a darker lipstick (Wet'n'Wild again) I usually just stick with the eyes, or chapstick. (Really bad chapped lips, no matter the weather, so I have to use something.) Wet'n'Wild makes a nice SPF lipstick I like to add to the daily routine for summer. I miss lipstick, I should start wearing my fav shades again. (They used to make this RED lipstick I loved, but it was a Halloween exclusive and they didn't make it last year. :( )

My skin isn't very good but I don't cover my spots most of the time. I will use a green stick and foundation for special occasions, but any more often and it will just make my skin worse.

My daily routine is just a quick swipe of eyeliner (Revlon or Rimmel usually black, grey, or dark blue), a light touch of complimentary eyeshadow (same brands), black mascara (Loreal waterproof telescoping or something like that), and some clear mascara (Cover Girl) to shape my eyebrows because I don't tweeze/shave them. I don't bother with lipstick because I drink bottled water all day and don't have time or really even the inclination to reapply my lipstick dozens of times a day.

wow, I'm exactly the same, minus eyeshadow.

Question for you: I have longish eyelashes, but they go straight out, so usually I don't wear mascara, because it'll just mark up my glasses (and also because I tend to rub my eyes and I forget I have mascara and I get raccoon eyes, but that's a separate issue). I bought an eyelash curler, but I just can't get the hang of it. You just kind of press it closed for a moment, right? Or should I press it longer (or harder)?

And then my one eye, I always seem to end up missing some lashes, so some of them curve upwardish, and the stragglers are still sticking straight out. :(

I wear makeup every day! Depending on how my skin is faring, I'll either wear Laura Mercier's Silk Creme foundation or YSL Touche Eclat foundation, plus Makeup Forever concealer and Bobbi Brown under eye corrector. I wear different blushes depending on how I'm feeling that day, but I have a special love for Nars Gaiety and Sleek's red blush (I forget the name, but it comes in a trio). I do my eyebrows, then usually do winged liner (Stila's Stay All Day is my favorite :) ). Whatever mascara I have-- right now a sample of Mally's volumizing, but usually I love CoverGirl ones. Whatever lip product matches my outfit that day.

... Suddenly I feel weird about how much I wear, given that it seems like no one here wears any.

I tend to just buy whatever I like the look of but my current mascara/eyeliner brands are Rimmel for the mascara and Maybelline for the pencil eyeliner. The nail polishes are a mixture of brands ranging from Revlon to things like 17.

I'm too lazy to write everything down, but I LOVE Urban Decay eyeshadow. If only it wasn't so expensive. (I only have a small palette I got on sale, but use all the time. The colors are beautiful and bold and have staying power.) I do use a primer under it, but only a cheap one (elf eyelid primer). Still, it works well enough for me (and typically my eyeshadow does look good all day).

Lipwise I use anything, but my favorite right now is this. I also really like Revlon super lustrous in Teak Rose, and Cherries in the Snow.

Also, Anastasia Lash Genius Waterproof Topcoat is absolutely perfect in every way. I was given this as a gift and can't even express how wonderful it is, and how truthful the 'waterproof' title is. Your mascara will not budge when you wear this.

I also really like Wet and Wild eyeshadow palettes and mega-last nail polish; the prices are great and they're really good products. (That line of nail polish is near flawless and one of my favorites because of how cheap, cute, and long lasting it is.)

So the eyeshadow primer from Urban Decay works? Is this used with the powder shadows? I was interested in it, but not quite willing to shell out the cash unless it actually works well.

Oh, I use elf (which is probably the cheapest eyeshadow primer you can get, it's $1), I haven't really tried Urban Decay. Well, I guess technically I have because I did get a small sample with the Urban Decay palette I purchased, but it was a pathetic sample. Either there was practically nothing in it or the primer is so dry you can barely get it out of the bottle. Since the eyeshadows are so good though, I'm going to go with 'I got a bad sample'. It's doubtful that such an expensive product is complete shit, especially when the companies other stuff is quite excellent.

Rimmel London is my favourite overall (I love their bb cream) but I usually go to Cover Girl for mascara and foundation. I really like Revlon for their lip products (stick, stain, etc.) though. The only "high class" brand I use is Clinique and that's only for their primers, otherwise all my makeup comes from the drugstore.
