I have way too much makeup! Perks of working in the industry, though, I definitely wouldn't be able to afford most of that stuff if not for the freebies they give other vendors! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-makeup-brands-do-you-buy#post-858102 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 09:58:10 +0000 MarieJ 858102@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@plantains: I'm a MAC whore too.

I can't live without Urban Decay Primer Potion. Drugstore brands like NYX and Milani are generally pretty awesome for the price and I like them.</p> <p>For drugstore products, I like L'Oreal lipstick and mascara, Revlon foundation, Covergirl eyeshadows and Maybelline eyeliner on an everyday basis.</p> <p>I'm not addicted to any particular brand. I'll buy whatever as long as it works. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-makeup-brands-do-you-buy#post-857518 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 05:00:22 +0000 illumina 857518@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Foundation/powder: Bare Minerals<br /> Blusher: Benefit<br /> Mascara: Clinique<br /> Eyeshadows: Don't wear often, but either MAC, Benefit or Dior </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-makeup-brands-do-you-buy#post-857513 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 04:55:13 +0000 Sweet T 857513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use Bare Minerals for pretty much everything.
