I used to be stricly MAC but got tired of spending so much money and often times being disappointed, mostly with their foundation, skincare and nailpolishes.

If you people like MAC eyeshadows you really need to to try NYX. Seriously, same great pigmented shades, and long staying power but only $5 or 7 per eyeshadow!!! You can find them at cherryculture.com or sometimes Ulta stores.

If you like MAC matte lipsticks like Ruby Woo or Russain Red, Revlon came out with a matte line, and I am now obessed with their lipsticks...
Also, they are not as drying as most matte stuff which is a plus!

Normally, I cannot stand Cover Girl products but the TruBlend compact powder in #1 is awesome for making my skin a pale but belivable shade. Though I am on the fair side, I still have a warm complexion and this is the only powder that does not look fake on my skin.

I use full n Soft masacra by Maybelline, I have very senstive eyes and this stuff does not irratate or make my lashes crunchy and stiff. DiorShow masacras are freakin' amazing as well if you feel like spend $25 bucks!

I use Revlon Colorstay foundation with a foundation brush, I think a foundation brush is probably one of the esstiential tools you should have it your makeup kit, once you apply with a foundation brush and see how much better it looks you will never go back to a sponge or using your fingers!
