I am going to vote other as it fits best. I do use Clinique for their stay matte invisible pressed powder. It feels great on, light and barely there and keeps everything set in place. After several trips to the make up counter and a million questions to Mary the make up woman. Plus a few basic face sessions. I liked Smashbox for my foundation and primer. The primer makes my skin feel like silk and there foundation has worked great for me so far.

For eyeshadow. I have tried Loriel, Rimmel and a few others, but i fell in love with the Shiseido Luminizing satin trios. Lasts long, color is rich and vibrant and has a great satin texture. I tried some Dior colors on the back of my hand the other day and they seemed to have good color that was strong and had a good texture. No idea how long they would last though. I found Loriel colors to be kind of weak in appearance and they faded to almost nothing in a few short hours. Rimmel was better for me with better color but they also faded fast. My next trip to the city i am looking to try get some time to check out the Mac store and see how their colors are. Also have not tried out any Smashbox colors or Bare Essentials.

I love my revlon colorstay liner. Lasts long and is easy to apply. Maybelline's waterproof liquid liner has also been good to me. Mascara, i have mentioned it before, but i love my Dior Diorshow waterproof, no clumps and my lashes look long and full.(my lashes with nothing on are long enough to touch the lenses of any sunglasses i have worn lol )I also just got my new lash curler from Shu Uemura. Way better than my other one from Revlon. No pinching and it cost me 3 bucks!

When in to see Mary for make up tips, we have yet to find a concealer for my dark circles that is not looking cakey or building up in the creases near my eyes. Been hearing great things about Lancome effacernes under eye concealer and hope to check it out next city trip as well.

Almost all of my makeup is from Estee Lauder, partially because it is very good makeup and partially because when I first moved to New Orleans I went to a major mall for a consultation at one of the department stores - my first time out alone in a new city and I was nervous - I explained that I might need a concealer and why - the lady was very supportive and told me that I had such pale hair that I would not need one - she has become a friend - so I buy all of my makeup from her.

Love ya,

Sally

I put in for Revlon and "other". The other would be MAC. I love their foundation! There's a few others that I use but I think the majority of it is Revlon. At least right now it is.

Sally, my name is Danielle. I am new to this site. I live near Baton Rouge. I was just wondering what Estee Lauder counter do u buy your makeup from. In what store. I go to New Orleans on a regular basis and I am always on the lookout for friendly places to shop.

Have a Wonderful Day!

Max - always the best for me - mainly because they have such a range of colors and tones for concealer and base make-up. I always use mineral base product as it lasts longer and it is very comfortable. But it is $$$.

Estee Lauder is a good line also - they own many of the the other lines such as Lancome and Clinique. The drug store carried brands are also okay - and you can get items on sale or half-price. I would avoid the cheaper lines as the color concentration is usually not as dense. Maybeline is a good product, Revlon as well, but stay with the mineral base products.

Hello, Danielle

Welcome to the Playground

I'm Donna Jean and I'm the third person in the "Gang of Three" that lives together here in the Big Easy!

I started using LA Colors early on in my transition (dirt cheap and just about as good...) but, I've graduated to much better cosmetics....mainly Estee Lauder....

Maybe we can all meet in the near future...I see that you have an interest in aviation....me, too...
