If you could only use one brand of makeup for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Tuesday, October 12th, 2010

If you could only use one brand of makeup for the rest of your life, what would it be? Just one!

I’m going to say Guerlain, because I think that it’s a brand that will work and suit me for years to come, not just today or tomorrow.

absolutely it would be lancome

skincares too or no? if not then NARS or Bobbi Brown. If yes then Chanel or Dior. better be free if you are gonna limit me like this!!

Omg no! XD I think I would have to saaaay L'oreal...or Maybelline. It's sooo hard to pick. With L'oreal, they have REALLY great eyeliners, foundation, lip gloss, that infallible stuff, mascara...but I've never heard anything good about their lipsticks. And I lurve me some lipsticks. Maybelline has great mascara (and a lot of em), crappy foundations (but they have some I haven't tried that people like, and they have really good concealer which is normally all that I use anyway), and I haven't really tried much else but just the fact that they have great lipstick could sell me. But I think overall I'd go with L'oreal. :D

I could never choose. Its impossble. But I guess MAC...or UD...or covergirl...or revlon....hmm this could take a while

interesting question. i'd say lancome--i'd be covered both for makeup and skincare. :D

Revlon! Given that I have no money, it's the best cost-effective brand I know.

not sure if MAC or Chanel...

Thats a hard one. Since BB is the only one that has a fitting foundation for me I'd almost have to chose that. In terms of Eyeshadows, Blushes etc I'd say MAC, but no Foundation there...hmmmm

My first choice is Mac for their large selection of great products. My second choice is Urban Decay, they have fun products and great quality.

I'd say Revlon, just because it's affordable and I've liked most things that I've used.

Make Up Forever would be an easy choice. Their line is luxe and has a great range of colors!

i would say guerlain, never had any complain with their make up from powders, foundation to lipglosses

Probably Bobbi Brown. I like their color range and I always like BB's makeup philosophy.

Stila for me, with Tarte coming in a close second. They're the only brands I think I could find everything I want in (face, eyes and lips) I haven't tried any Tarte shadows, though, so I can only guess I would like them. I know I like some from Stila for sure.

Lancôme. It's been my favorite since I first started wearing makeup, it doesn't break me out, and it has a little bit of everything, including some great skincare.

MAC FOR ALL MAKEUP AND LIPPMAN FOR NAILS.

Yikes! Now this is a hard question! I'd have to say NARS because even though most of what I use day to day is MAC, I hate their foundations and foundation is the one thing I can't live without. I'd rather adjust to NARS blush/lipstick/powder etc., since I love NARS Sheer Glow, than use any MAC foundation.

It would be between MUFE or Chanel. I love my MAC but I can't live life using only their foundation and concealer.

Definately MAC. It's really all I use. They have such a variety of colors and choices, especially eyeshadow. I haven't really tried many other brands, but MAC is what got me into makeup :]

I'll definitely Nars, love everything from that brand

MAC for sure. They have wearable neutrals for when I get older and an amazing selection of high quality products from now until the day I die!

Dior. There's no way in Hades I am giving up my quints!

I'd say estee lauder as they have both good skincare and there make up selection has been getting alot better from tom whats his name took over that part. Also they are what i would consider a mid range price brand so I know that i should be able to afford to perchase it thoughout most of my life. (was tempted to say guerlain but there skincare is so expensive in my eyes).

I would choose MAC because they have a huge selection of products! Besides all there collections keep me interested :]

Probably Fyrinnae, though I'd have to beg them to make my foundation again.

OMG! NARS - but I'll miss Chanel, Urban Decay, Bed Head, Dior, MAC...

MAC all the way! Not too expensive, high consistency in product quality, wide range of products and colors/finishes, canadian brand, recycles. What more can a girl want??

Georgio Armani, bobbi brown a second choice...

OH GOSH ONE BRAND,THATS A HARD ONE.HMMM.......I AM GONNA SAY CHANEL

Mac because it's the brand that I fist bought and I've tried to wean myself off it ...but I always fail.

Estee lauder. They have great skincare, great lipsticks, lovely perfumes and my hg foundation. :)

Its hard to choose between MAC and MUFE. I have never NOT liked the quality of any MUFE products i've tried. But they focus more on bright colors, and i wear more neutrals than brights. So MAC has a better selection of colors for me :/ Ack...its a tie.

Revlon :) I am addicted to matte everything and they are such a well rounded brand.

Probably Laura Mercier, if only because the foundation/tinted moisturizer line suits me best. I use pretty much all the products from this brand even if they are not all my favorites. If I could pick a second choice, I would say Chanel.

This is a tough one... I would have to say Mac and UD
