What works best: MAC, Avon, Clinique, Mary Kay, BareMinerals, or over the counter cosmetics?

avon: isn't that good, especially for the prices





clinique: i hate thier skincare line, so i've never tried their makeup, although i heard it's good for skin that tends to break out.





marykay: i don't know anyone that actually uses mary kay anymore, so it can't be that good.





bareminerals: i've heard great things about this! i have several friends who highly reccomend this!





mac: all i use! i love it.What works best: MAC, Avon, Clinique, Mary Kay, BareMinerals, or over the counter cosmetics?
It depends on what you are looking for- certain drugstore makeup works just as well as the department store ones. Revlon does some makeup that are as good as department stores. I do use some drugstore makeup and some department makeup( Mostly MAC).





MAC ace in their color range. Their eyeshadows colors, brushes and lip products are the best of their line in my opinion. They brushes are the best(very soft) in makeup line and their makeup are very pigmented so you need to use only a little at a time.





Clinique makeup falls more to the neutral range so if you like browns or neutral colors, clinique is for you. They also have pretty lipstick colors as well.What works best: MAC, Avon, Clinique, Mary Kay, BareMinerals, or over the counter cosmetics?
Honestly, it all depends on what you are looking for. MAC has a great color selection. Avon is inexpensive and does not cause damage to skin. Clinique is one of the best drugstore brands and now they have really great hip cosmetics. MK has teh greatest skin care products for mature skin. Bare Minerals get a lot of ads but they are not pure. If you are looking for a good mineral powder, look into Milani's Mineral pressed powder. It is 1/5 of the price of BE and does a much better job. Over the counter cosmetics, such as Loreal and Revlon are both great and very reliable. Loreal owns companies such as Lancome so if you want quality and reasonable pricing Loreal is great. Some of the items in NYC, Milani and Jane are great too-
Mac is one of the most best products for makeup. They have a beautiful variety of colors and their colors are extremely pigmented. Even though Mac is more pricy than the other brands, their products last a really long time. If you are just starting out, I recommend the 217 brush from Mac which is a good for eyeshadow. This brush does everything, its good for putting colors on the lid, or crease or even as a highlight brush. I recommend you purchase at least one blush because they are all gorgeous, and a couple of basic shadows such as woodwinked. Also their lipsticks are so gorgeous, but if you don't want to spend all that money on a lipstick, Clinque has some beautiful lipsticks as well. hope i helped
It really does all depend on your preference and what you like. Only you can be the judge of which products work best with your face, but each brand does have its ups and downs...


My preferences are:





MAC- eyeliner (fluid line) , awesome funky color eye shadows





Clinique- foundation





Bare-minerals- I love their sparkly eye shadows... they last for a good 3 months too!





Loreal- voluminous mascara .. i go through mascara way to fast to pay a ton of money for it, and this mascara has worked better than any department store kind i have ever tried!
My opinion is fer sherrr clinique.


They're products are the only ones I use. If you want to cover imperfections. (Redness, black heads) The Almost makeup powder makeup is good, and they have lots of colors that really match a lot of different skin tones. But, if you want glamour and color and sparkles, than MAC products are good. The lipgloss is so pretty and they have really cool bright shades of eyeshadow.


So, I hope I helped!!! Good luck.
I would put 100% into MAC. It uses the healthiest strongest products that work the best. Try there lip glass for instance. the color thats in the bottle is the color that goes on your lips. I convinced my aunt to work there because she was looking for a job in the makeup industry.
