For most days I use BareMinerals for all products except YSL mascara:

Lipstick/Lipgloss --Bare Minerals Buxom Babes (gloss) & MAC stain (wedding)
Foundation -- Bare Minerals (daily) & Smashbox (photos)
Concealor -- BM or Stila
Powder -- HD (from Sephora) & BM mineral veil (more subtle)
Blush -- BM
Eye Shadow -- BM or Laura Mercier (plum?color)
Mascara -- YSL
Nail Polish -- OPI (many colors, nomad's dream, 20 candles on my cake, I'm not really a waitress, red)

I don't claim to be an expert, but I do like the HD items I got from sephora for my e-pics as well.

I don't wear makeup ever but my face has broken out in red splotches months before my wedding. I got some Bare Escentals and it covered the redness perfectly for my wedding. I continue to use it to cover the redness.

Miss Chapstick September 2009

I don't wear a ton of make-up, but I do like the following products:

Stila powder (I wear "light" for my fair skin)

Stila eyeshadow in Kitten.

Stila smudge pot in Brown. I use this as eyeliner with an angled eyeliner brush. Changed.my.life. It stays put all day, and with the angled brush, I can draw a perfect line.

Concealor: Erase Paste by Benefit. I just started using it right before our September wedding, and I love it. It's the only concealor I've ever found that it's cakey, but covers like it is.

I currently use Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer, but I'm still on the fence about the product.

Here’s my list:
• Lipstick/Lipgloss – Dr. Hauschka and I have an Urban Decay lipstain in light pink
• Foundation – Revlon Colorstay in Ivory (eh, the lightest color they have, I’m like casper!)
• Concealor – same as above (don’t usually wear)
• Powder – same as above
• Blush – Du Woop brand, color: Apple
• Eye Shadow – Dr. Hauschka, purple shades
• Mascara – DiorShow, I like it in both brown and black, but think I like brown better
• Nail Polish – I use “Thicker healthier nails” by Once Removed to thicken, and sort of as a base coat, then whatever color suits my fancy (though they are usually plain).
Skincare: I use Dr. Hauschka products – they have totally changed my skin’s life!
