    So girls (guys if ye wear it!), which make-up brand do you find yourself buying the most.

    I like MAC eyeshadows & liners, Lancome's Foundation & Blush & my mascara is always Volume Effet Faux Cils by YSL.
    I'm not a lip gloss bitch at all, hate the stuff. Usually use vaseline on my lips

    i'm quite partial to smashbox myself. i saw a sign for it in dublin airport recently so i think it's on its way to ireland! also a big fan of stila. i am a self-confessed lip gloss bitch - favouring duwop's lip venom. it make's your lips all tingly :D

    * Estee Lauder foundation
    * Boujois/Estee Lauder mascara
    * Anything else for eyeshadow, lipstick etc.

    I don't mind spending more money on the foundation, as I've finally found one that matches my skin tone and doesn't look patchy after a few hours! I also would spend a little extra on mascara, just because my eyes water very easily (particularly with cheaper mascaras). Apart from that, anything goes!

    I'm not sold on Maybelline mascara - specifically Great Lash. I often see makeup artists recommending it, and bought it once. I have never had to deal with such a gloopy mess!

    They often sell Smashbox makeup on QVC or Ideal World - can't remember which. I *think* you can also get it in Roches on Henry st.

    I totally agree with you here vibrant.. My sis swears by Great Lash so i decided to buy it when i ran out mascara a few months back. Used it for about 2 wks and i hated it. Gave me big panda eyes & was clumpy plus it made my eyes water (and i dont have TOO sensitive eyes).
    Saying that, i LOVE Maybelline Full N Soft mascara. Perfect for day time.

    I perfer the Cinique Super Fit foundation and Merle Norman powder.

    I don't wear much, but I like to fix up when I get the time.... :rolleyes:

    I can't live without my makeup - a combination of red cheeks and old scars from spots mean I have to wear it every single day

    Foundation: Estee Lauder
    Concealer: Laura Mercier (best concealer known to man but very pricey)
    Powder: Shu Uemura
    Bronzer: Benefit Hoola (the only BROWN bronzer on the market!)
    Eyeshadow: Anything ranging from 17 to samples from Clinique/Lancome but love Urban Decay and Isadora
    Mascara: Maybelline Full & Soft (I also agree about how rubbish Great Lash is!)
    Lipgloss/ Lipstick: Chanel for lipgloss and Mac for lipstick

    Who said I was high maintenance?!!
