<p>I've never tried Neutrogena makeup, but their Active Breathable SPF45 sunscreen is unbeatable. Foundations aren't all bad for your skin. As long as they are sheer and non-comedogenic, then they are fine w/ me. Dior Pure Light claims to protect against sun damage with SPF 15, but I doubt anyone uses enough to cover every inch of their face. Sunscreen and exfoliation are absolute musts if you want to retain youthful looking skin and still wear makeup.</p>
<p>I definitely don't wear makeup on a day-to-day basis. I go to an-all girls school and it would be silly to put any effort into getting ready...most girls just brush their hair and go. Still, there ARE those girls who put loads of makeup on everyday, and it just looks ridiculous.</p>
<p>I do wear makeup when I go out, but pretty much only mascara, sometimes eye shadow, powder and lip gloss. I use Bobbi Brown.</p>
<p>I love makeup -- wear it everyday. I feel it's my prerogative as a girl. </p>
<p>And as far as foundation goes, I love that maybelline whipped foundation deal. It's so light. Bronzer and concealer, I like Physicians Formula. Lip gloss, MAC. Eyeshadow -- I have it all, but am partial to Clinique. Mascara -- Maybelline Blackest black. Eyeliner -- still working on finding the perfect one (currently I'm on Maybelline Cool Effect).</p>
<p>I dont wear makeup. It always feels like i have dirt in my face -_-</p>
<p>Makeup isn't for people with bad skin, lol, so it doesn't really make sense for people who say "I don't wear make up because I have pretty good skin." I like makeup because it can make you look different from day to day...it's like wearing different outfits. </p>
<p>Anyway, I love Sephora, I think I go there like twice a week. lol
Eyeshadow- MAC; I get all my brushes from MAC also
Eyeliner - I use gel liner, it is unbeatable. MAC Fluidline, Stila Smudge Pot, Bobbi Brown sometimes
Mascara - Anna Sui, Clinique but I'm not amazed by either of them
Foundation powder - Mac Studio Fix
Power - Benefit
Blush - I have NARS Orgasm and one from MAC, I like the MAC one better.
Lip gloss - Cargo</p>
<p>And Benefit's She Lac is amazing for keeping things smudge-free.</p>

i'll just stick to my trusty vaseline for my lips and i'm all set..

vaseline is awesome for the lips!
I've had people tell me they like my lip gloss when all I happen to be wearing is vaseline. lol</p>
<p>this topic is really cool btw. Gives people who aren't as makeup-intelligent (like myself) some brands to look into...</p>
<p>I find it funny when I see girls in the ladies room staring at the mirror for several minutes just to put on makeup with a purse full it. I always thought that makeup is only used when you're old.</p>
<p>I agree with the vaseline.</p>

I've always found that type of thing to be excessive.
I rarely touch up my makeup during the day and I spend maximum 6-7 minutes on it before I leave the house.</p>
<p>Eyeliner, mascara-Lancome
Moisturizer, foundation-Clinique
Face wash, acne treatment-neutrogena and loreal
lip gloss-estee lauder
Blush-Clinique, estee lauder</p>
<p>By the way, free gifts at department stores like Macy's, Lord and Taylor are awesome. Whenever I run out of something I always go to a place thats giving a free gift with purchase. I've never had to buy black mascara or cosmetic bags and barely ever buy lip gloss because I get so many samples with the free gifts.</p>
<p>The hot new thing is supposed to be teal mascara, lol.</p>
<p>Teal mascara sounds crazy. Anyone else hate maybelline mascara?? I don't understand how it wins awards!</p>
<p>mascara
dior (truly fab)</p>
<p>skin care (incl. foundation)
clinique. Only clinique. My skin does not like any other brands then clinique. ( I LOVE their pore minimising cream. You dab some on. And your pores magically dissapear. and it's good for the skin too. evens out the skin tone).
oh and Armani primer..</p>
<p>Eye make-up
Bobbi brown</p>
<p>gloss
LANCOM!! mmm juicy tubes</p>
<p>Blush
NARS orgasm. It's THE perfect color for everyone.. honest.</p>
<p>I HATE everything maybelline. Makes me break out. It clogs my pores. And neutrogena makes my skin sooo dry.</p>
<p>I like clinique's lotions</p>
<p>lol NARS Orgasm is THE perfect color for white/pale people. It would not look good on darker-skinned people.</p>
