    Currently, I am using MAC Studio Fix.  I bought the Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer to try over the summer because any makeup seems to melt in the humidity here.

    I've tried mac and benefit but not clinique and I use benefit on the cheeks but I notice it's not the most lasting, mac on eyes and lips, lasts better than some but not as well as others. The best as far as staying power is Lancome. I put it on and it really does seems to last all day! Mac lipstick is pretty awesome no complaints there.

    All three? I use a little bit of everything, plus Dior, Smashbox, Tarte, and MUFE. 

    I'm a makeup whore. :P

    How funny you posted this today! I just went and had my first mac makeover!  I took her a photo of Faith Hill as Grace Kelly and she almost got it a perfect match!

    I'm not a make-up girl. I wear make-up and have done all types on myself because of theater shows.  But I have always been reluctant to spend the money on make-up.  But I broke down and bought the foundation, the strobe, the eye liner, concerler, a brush and the eyelashes.  So hopefully I can copy her look next week :)

    I'm currently using Clinique Superfit foundation for every day with a bit of Estee Lauder loose powder to set it, but I might test drive MUFE for summer/the wedding, since I've heard so many great things about it.

    I use so many different brands! 

    Currently using Clinque for foundation and powder, Mac and Urban Decay for eyeshadow (two best, long lasting eyeshadow brands IMO), and I'm actually using Revlon for eyeliner and mascara (I usually use Chanel eyeliner, but honestly, I don't even notice a difference). I'm also using Too Faced for a bronzer/blush combo.

    Just to add to your list! Wink

    I find clinique to be the only thing that matches my skin and looks natural - for everyday use thats my pick

    I LOVE Benefit. "That Gal" brightening face primer is amazing, after applying it, my skin looks fresh and glows, it has a slight "dewy" effect...but you must apply it with a foundation brush. Then I follow that with "You Rebel" tinted moisturizer. Again, use a foundation brush. That's all you need. Well maybe a little blush and a little lip gloss to your liking ;).

    MAC! I love the paint pots for a flawless eye finish. Your makeup will stay on for hours and hours. I use Paint Pot color: painterly for my everyday wear.

    I've only used MAC eyeshadow.. and LOVE IT!

    I need to invest in some better quality makeup besides Maybelline and other drugstore brands. Maybe one of these days :)

    Yes, most definetly use a primer! The flawlessness of your makeup completely depends on the prep work!

    Trust me on the primer! As a cheerleader for six years I know all about the application of makeup to avoid looking cakey, oily, bumpy, uneven and keeping it that way.

    I love Bare Escentuals too but am currently using Mac.

    I also just bought primer from Mac. Im not sure if im makeup savvy enough to notice the difference of makeup with primer on.. but i think i like it so far?
