* Most creative makeup brand?
Urban Decay, in terms of colors, packaging and products. Great stuff!
* Most wearable makeup brand?
I’d have to say either Bobbi Brown or Chanel, because they have a lot of neutrals but some pops of color for when you need color in your life!!
* Most overhyped makeup brand?
MAC, without a question. The speed at which things sell out is flipping insane.
Most creative makeup brand?
Illamasqua
Most wearable makeup brand?
Bobbi Brown
Most overhyped makeup brand?
Chanel. They have nice stuff but nothing extraordinary for that price tag.
1. MAC
2. MAC
3. Benefit
Most creative makeup brand? Make Up For Ever
Most wearable makeup brand? MAC, they have so many shades available and the perfect foundation match for me which is what MUFE lacks.
Most overhyped makeup brand? MAC, I think MUFE has much higher quality products!
Most creative makeup brand? Illamasqua
Most wearable makeup brand? MAC (so many color choices — something for everyone)
Most overhyped makeup brand? Urban Decay (I really only love their liners and the Naked palette)
I agree with all three. =)
I only like UD’s liners and the naked palette too, but I do also like the primer potion. I think their shadows don’t have a wide range of colors, and the majority of them have too much glitter & causes too much fallout. They just don’t work for me.
I agree with your responses too. UD shadows are way too glittery and IMO the 24/7 pencils are very overhypped as well, MUFE Aqua Eye Pencils have better staying power and are more pigmented.
I think the Tokidoki line is pretty creative and impressive.
Most creative makeup brand? NARS
Most wearable makeup brand? Bobbi Brown
Most overhyped makeup brand? MAC
* Most creative makeup brand? Make Up Forever. Not for collections they release, but for their artistry. Close 2nd is MAC, for the collections, and the huge range of colour.
* Most wearable makeup brand? For the masses, MAC.
* Most overhyped makeup brand? Ummmm, this is a hard one. I could name so many companies, but I’ve narrowed it down. Not a brand, but a type of makeup. Most of the mineral makeup companies are overhyped. I’ve tried a few in the past, and to me, they’re all the same, and they’re all pretty much crap.
I have to agree with the mineral makeup being over-hyped. I never liked powder or loose powder foundations. I’ve always been a fan of the flawless look. I think B.E. is mega over-hyped… I probably should’ve put that as my answer instead.
Really? If you don’t mind my asking, I’m curious to know what skin type you may have? You don’t have to answer, but I’m only asking because I hear from a lot of women that mineral foundation is crap and I absolutely love it! Well, I love the B.E foundation. I use a ton of different foundation (types and brands) and always find myself going back to B.E. because it just gives me such a flawless look, and I only really like full, matte coverage. (I know a lot of people don’t)
I figure there has to be something to the product if so many women find it disappointing, not just dislike for mineral makeup. I’m just curious to know what skin types it doesn’t mesh with or if maybe some women are just using the wrong brush (mineral makeup can be finicky like that).
For reference, I have normal to dry skin. I’ve been using the stuff since about.. i’d say 14. (I’m 20 now) and only get compliments when I’m wearing that foundation so it makes me really curious when I meet people who find it doesn’t work right for them.
Ha, sorry for the long winded question. Just curious. Thanks in advance if you can answer, or if anyone who’s been disappointed in mineral/B.E foundation can answer.
what i found with mineral makeup for me was that it didn’t provide enough coverage for a long period of time. I have normal to dry skin as well, but leaning more to the dry side haha. And I found mineral makeup to look cakey. So i would try to use it in the summer thinking since my skin can get a bit more sweaty mineral makeup would feel lighter and absorb some of the oils, but it would just melt right off anyway. (I used BE minerals btw however this was a couple of years ago and I hear they have a new formula that’s much better! =). I found I only liked to use the mineral makeup as a sort of setting powder after I’ve already applied liquid foundation, that gives a pretty nice coverage; which now that i think about it, that was how I tried it on in the store and the reason I bought it in the first place lol! I find mineral makeup works best for people who already have a pretty good complexion and only need some coverage.
I can say that I used to use B.E. and sheer cover mineral make ups in years past but that was when I was much younger. I feel like the mineral powders at my current age of 32, settle into the fine lines I have, even with a primer on before the powder. I find in order to get the finish I want it takes a lot of product and by that point it looks fake. I also find that it settles into the few pores I have on my nose that are somewhat visible if you look closely. I too have normal to dry skin. Perhaps its not a type of skin that it works for better than others, perhaps its the age of skin. There is a lot of difference between my skin at your age, 20 and my skin now at 32.
agreed. Fully and completely. I must admit I bought into the hype of mineral makeup because my skin is soooo frikkin sensitive, but it only made it worse. I find MAC is more wearable because it’s more available to the masses [the nearest MUFE stand to me is an hour drive, and it's only a stand, boo.] I’ve never personally been impressed by Chanel…even when I WAS able to afford it, nothing ever caught my eye.
Most creative: Urban Decay
Most wearable: Make up for ever
Most overhyped: MAC
Most creative makeup brand? M·A·C. Their editions are great (some more than others) and they always come up with innovative stuff.
Most wearable makeup brand? Bobbi Brown. I love their range of shades, and the fact most of them aren’t something ‘right-on-your-face’ when it comes to daytime cosmetics.
Most overhyped makeup brand? Dior. I’ve tried some stuff and it isn’t as impressive as I thought it was… I only adore their Iconic mascara, that’s it.
Love the Iconic mascara. left my tube at work one night and wanted to wear mascara so i grabbed my covergirl tube and it was awful. I don’t care that it’s $27 for a tube it’s the best mascara i’ve ever tried!
* Most creative makeup brand?
make up forever the color spectrum and the utility of all their powders amazing
* Most wearable makeup brand?
cargo, and smashbox
* Most overhyped makeup brand?
MAC, hands down
Most creative makeup brand? MAC, unlike other companies, they come out with new looks/collections almost monthly!
Most wearable makeup brand? MAC, I find it very wearable! For drug store products I would say REVLON.
Most overhyped makeup brand? Urban Decay (too much shimmer all the time for me). For product those silly lip stains! They usually end up looking horrible!
I totally agree with your comments about Urban Decay being to shimmery all the time.
Most creative makeup brand? Illasmaqua or MAC
Most wearable makeup brand? Chanel
Most overhyped makeup brand? MAC (nonetheless it deserves some of it for quality)
Most creative brand?
Probably MAC – some of their launches and campaigns are creative and interesting.
Most wearable brand?
I think it’s a tie between Chanel, Lancome and Bobbi Brown. They have a lot of universally flattering colors, but also more vibrant colors if that suits you.
Most overhyped?
I think I have to go with MAC. There is always a lot of buzz surrounding their launches, but I feel like it more based on their creative and unique products, but those products don’t necessarily wear well, or may not be “quality” products.
Most creative makeup brand? Urban Decay
Most wearable makeup brand? MAC
Most overhyped makeup brand? KORRES
MAC
MAC
and Chanel for overhyped
* Most creative makeup brand? – MAC, they do the most # of collections year round and try to do interesting yet sellable stuff.
* Most wearable makeup brand? – MAC, MUFE, ILL, Nars, BB, GA has something in the color ranges for everyone
* Most overhyped makeup brand? – Napolean Paradis, BE (bc I don’t think it’s user-friendly.. infact I think all those loose powders are messy and difficult to use!)
Most creative makeup brand? Make Up For Ever or Urban Decay.
Most wearable makeup brand? Bobbi Brown, or the designer brands like Chanel and Estee Lauder.
Most overhyped makeup brand? MAC. Everything’s pretty much re-promoted, the packaging is boring and they aren’t half as creative with new products and colors as they could be. I haven’t bought anything from them for almost a year and I’m not missing it.
Most creative makeup brand?
MAC esp. Pro – just a huge amount of stuff there to play with
Most wearable makeup brand?
Bobbi Brown or natural, high quality products that fits a range of needs
Most overhyped makeup brand?
Dior, Urban Decay,
Most Creative: MAC is my favorite brand of cosmetics of all time. They’re creative influence is inspiring. Their permanent line is huge and it offers something for everyone. Plus, I’m a sucker for their LE items.
Most Wearable: Bobbi Brown’s line is, in general, very wearable but I think MAC is too since their permanent line is so large and diverse (as I said before…. gosh I’m so repetitive).
Most Over-hyped: Stila — I’m just not crazy about the brand. They have nice shadows, but it’s sort of ridiculous that the pans alone are $18, plus you have to pay an additional $2 for the pot. They’re rather expensive but not so impressive.
Most creative makeup brand?
Illamasqua

Most wearable makeup brand? Bobbi Brown and Chanel
Most overhyped makeup brand? MAC! But I love them!
Most creative: Illamasqua / Benefit
Most Wearable: Estee Lauder
Over hyped: MAC – good quality products but such hype over collections
Most creative makeup brand? – Urban Decay. The color range is amazing and fun! Plus the names crack me up.
Most wearable makeup brand? – Probably Smashbox. I don’t own much from them, but what I’ve seen is very wearable for the everyday woman. But I’m sure ever line of makeup has something that can be pulled off for an average day look…you just have to find it!
Most overhyped makeup brand? – MAC. I definitely find them to be overhyped. I own a couple products, but I’d take Urban Decay over them anyday. I can’t knock MAC for repromoting colors, because UD does that too, but the packaging isn’t too fun and I’ve found much better quality alternatives to their makeup.
Most creative: MUFE
Most wearable: MUFE, MAC
Most overhyped: BE, Nars (sorry, I know it’s much loved, I’m just not impressed)
Most creative makeup brand? Toki Doki
Most wearable makeup brand? MAC
Most overhyped makeup brand? Nars. Their stuff is expensive and really not that unique
Most creative makeup brand? MUFE and Illamasqua!
Most wearable makeup brand? MAC, with their shade ranges everyone will find something that works for them.
Most overhyped makeup brand? Nars. Though, I still love their Sheer Glow foundation!

* Most creative makeup brand?
I have two! Urban Decay and Benefit for packaging..so cute!
* Most wearable makeup brand?
MAC hands down!..There’s something for everyone! Love the color range!
* Most overhyped makeup brand?
MAC..they sell out of things way to fast!! But I love them!! I’d also say Urban Decay..the only thing that really calls my attention is the 24/7 liners and some of their eyeshadow kits which is really the packaging doing it! lol
Creative- MAC. They are constantly pumping out new and interesting things. There is definitely something for everyone.
Wearable- Dior. It makes up for the expense with high quality shades suitable for all.
Overhyped- Kat Von D. I feel like it is a novelty item for the most part, simply loved for the artistic packaging and fun product names. I will admit though, that the new adora palette interests me and is something I may buy.
Most creative makeup brand: Urban Decay
Most wearable makeup brand: Nars
Most overhyped makeup brand: MAC (I am a total sucker for their launces though!)
Most creative makeup brand? Make Up Forever
Most wearable makeup brand? Bobbi Brown
Most overhyped makeup brand? Giorgio Armani! $58 for foundation?! NOT.
Most creative makeup brand? Hummm, product wise… Maybe Benefit?
Most wearable makeup brand? Nars, good quality and wearable, though a bit on the pricey side, but they do last.
Most overhyped makeup brand? MAC, their limited editions are insane, every two weeks I’d. Way too much.
Most Creative: Illamasqua
Most Wearable: Estee lauder
Most Overhyped: Mac. This isn’t to say I don’t enjoy Mac, they’re a fantastic makeup art company with good quality and a fun range, but do I think it’s overhyped? Yes. People treat Mac like it’s the standard when there’s so much more out there.
* Most creative makeup brand?
haha get it?
Either Tokidoki or Urban Decay
* Most wearable makeup brand?
Id’ have to say Lancome, they have lots of neutrals and crap
* Most overhyped makeup brand?
MAC without a question…sure the cosmetics might by mighty fine, that is, if you pay a mighty fine.
Very cute pun however, MAC’s price points are not that bad. I’d much rather pay $14.50 for MAC shadows and know they are going to work well and have great pigment as to pay the same amount for Clinique which is just sad, or to pay more for Lancome which is just incredibly over price L’Oreal.
The only thing thats really pricey at MAC is their brushes but they last so long. Of course we’re all allowed our opinions – just think if you are going to say mac is overhyped thats fine but prices are not as bad as Chanel and Dior and Lancome and Benefit.
Most creative makeup brand? – mac, illamasqua
Most wearable makeup brand? – I haven’t tried them yet but I would think burberry is. Otherwise Make up store because it’s easy to get the just right colour.
Most overhyped makeup brand? – mac,
most creative: benefit…they always make everything super interesting even if its a boring product
most wearable: nars
most overhyped: mac. hands down.
Most creative makeup brand? MUFE/Illamasqua : Creativity down to product naming woot!
Most wearable makeup brand? MAC: Although “wearable” is different for every person. I think blues and greens are wearable as others may think only neutrals. But MAC for overall versatility.
Most overhyped makeup brand? MAC: but, it is overhyped for good reasons usually. Emphasis on usually.
Most creative makeup brand? Urban Decay / MUFE – it’s a toss up! Each comes up with incredible colors and new formulas (UDPP, MUFE HD).
Most wearable makeup brand? MAC. There are shades for everyone, regardless of race and age.
Most overhyped makeup brand? Dior – I just don’t get it. For the pricetag, there is nothing very special about it.
Most creative makeup brand?
Urban Decay because of their products and amazing packaging!
Most wearable makeup brand?
NARS
Most overhyped makeup brand?
MAC! I was surprised that there products are really no better that any other makeup brand but people go crazy over them!

most overhyped: probably chanel, too expensive for me
Most creative makeup brand? Shu Uemura and Illamasqua
Most wearable makeup brand? Bobbi Brown and Stila
Most overhyped makeup brand? Chanel and Bare Escentuals
Most creative: I would have to say MUFE (make up forever) because their products are so versatile and they can be used for theatre where they original first started.
most wearable: Mac – there range of colors is awesome
most hyped: MAC again…..I would agree with most when they say that the collections are just ridiculous when they sell out in the first 5 mins of online release!!!

Dior,
their packaging is creative, without being cheap and cartony ( yea I mean Benefit lol)
they could have just put their products
in these lil shiny black boxes, but thats BORING!
Most wearable makeup brand?
Chanel ,
the have a very elegant collection of neutrals
Most overhyped makeup brand?
MAC,
I think MAC is over rated
especially the collection madness
if you are a makeup collector then its totally fine
but for regular makeup users or fans , they dont need that much of huge collections
In my opinio the most creative brand would be MAC, the most wearable would be NARS, & the most overhyped would be MAC
Most creative makeup brand?
MUFE
Most wearable makeup brand?
Chanel
Most overhyped makeup brand?
MAC – come out w/too many collections and some of it looks the same. And it seems silly to repromote one item that they know will sell out -trying to overhype a product that doesn’t need to be. I agree w/another poster – question the quality.
Most creative makeup brand? Illamasqua
Most wearable makeup brand? Chanel
Most overhyped makeup brand? Urban Decay/Cover Girl

Overrated, Urban Decay, or NARS
Wearable, MAC or Cargo
Most creative makeup brand: Illamasqua
Most wearable makeup brand: MAC/Benefit
Most overhyped makeup brand: NARS/MAC – You will not DIE if you dont get the crazy MSF or latest crazy thing they are coming out with .. Even if you think you will!
1) MAC
2) MAC
3) Chanel, Stila, & Dior. Dior & Chanel, very “exclusive pricings” for inconsistent quality in some of their products and nothing original to boot (I am still reeling over last fall’s LE noir eye shadow quad….) As for Stila, I have to admit that whenever I am at a Sephora, I pass by without giving it a 2nd look as the packaging does not do it for me. It looks like juvenile/kiddie make up! lol
Most creative makeup brand? Illamasqua
Most wearable makeup brand? MAC
Most overhyped makeup brand? MAC
I will say MAC to all!
Most creative makeup brand? MAC just because they have the most collections and they’re always with a “theme”
Most wearable makeup brand? LORAC
Most overhyped makeup brand? MAC by far
Most creative: Urban Decay and Tokidoki.
Most wearable: most drugstore brands, since they cater mostly to mainstream and popular trends. I personally like Revlon.
Most overhyped: NYX.
Most creative makeup brand? MAC, although I think the huge amount of collections make some items very similar to other previously released products.
Most wearable makeup brand?
MAC. There’s always something for everyone there, large variety of colors, shades and textures !
Most overhyped makeup brand?
MAC too – many products sell out because they became collector’s items! But in quality terms, I’d say some high end brands are really overhyped. They’re basically OK products beautifully packaged !
Most creative: Urban Decay
Most wearable: MAC
Most overhyped: Mineral makeup in general –but I actually do use it and love it because it works well for me. If you don’t use it I wouldn’t tell you go to buy it and rave about it because it doesnt work for everyone.
Most creative makeup brand? Urban Decay – pretty colours
Most wearable makeup brand? Chanel – amazing foundations and long lasting lip/eye products
Most overhyped makeup brand? Nars – every single Nars product Ive tried I hated…even Laguna bronzer!

1. Most Creative? MUFE, Urban Decay, MAc
2. Most wearable? Hands down BOBBI BROWN & LAURA MERCIER
3. Most overhyped? Freaking DIOR !!!!!!!!!!!
The funny thing is that I would answer MAC to all three questions…
I would have to say:
1. Urban Decay – I think with the product and the packaging they are pretty creative all the way around.
2. MAC – With the wide shade selection in eyes, lips and blushes – seems like there is something for everyone.
3. MAC – which seems to be the general consensus
Most creative makeup brand?
Forever Make-up

Most overhyped makeup brand?

1. UD
2. MAC
3. Dior
*Most creative makeup brand? Urban Decay
*Most wearable makeup brand? Dior. Excellent quality products (although expensive) that come in a wide range of shades from neutral to dramatic.
*Most overhyped makeup brand? MAC. They have too many color dupes within their own line. Still good quality.
Most creative makeup brand?
Anna Sui, the packaging is to die for. There are a lot of unique and amazing colours too. It’s worth the price.
Most wearable makeup brand?
For base makeup and age – MAC. Dior and Shiseido is really wearable too. Shiseido has a lovely scent in pretty much all their products and the quality of their products are amazing.
Most overhyped makeup brand?
MAC, just because there are too many people that said this brand is the best makeup brand of all time. It’s a great brand, but it’s not the absolute best. Or Lancome, the quality isn’t as great as it seems, I’ve been let down too many times and too much money has been spent from my wallet for too long. Plus, they raised all the prices of their products to a ridiculous amount I believe.
I think Tokidoki is the most creative in terms of packaging.
Most wearable, so far the Burberry swatches you provided win in that one!
Overhyped, I think is MAC. It is annoying when I see something I think I may like, go to the store and it’s all gone. MAKE MORE dammit!

MAC and I have had a love-hate relationship for some time. I love their products but I dislike the fact that certain LE products get super hyped up and then they sell out before the collection officially opens on their site (ie Marine Life for To The Beach). It sends us all into a frenzy, but hey, that’s MAC for ya!
most creative:
I’d say urban decay, MAC and Benefit
Most wearable: MAC
Most overhyped: NARS
MAC!!!
Most creative makeup brand? MAC
Most wearable makeup brand? MAC; Nars
Most overhyped makeup brand? Urban Decay- too much glitter!
Most Creative – Benefit, Simply for the names of their products and the clever packaging.
Most Wearable – MAC. Overhyped or not, their stuff is awesome so I think it deserves the hype. Also, it is priced so much more affordable than other high end brands, which makes it more accessible to more people.
Most Overhyped – I have to agree with JayJay about the minerals.While I would not call some of the ones I’ve tried “crap”, they certainly aren’t as special as the “hype” makes them out to be.
Most creative makeup brand?
-MAC
Most wearable makeup brand?
-A lot of makeup brands are wearable. It’s the way you look at it.
Most overhyped makeup brand?
-I think MAC.
Most Creative- Urban Decay, I love all their palates and crazy colors. I just wish they wouldn’t re-use so many colors in their palates, it’s hard to find palates that are all colors I don’t have anymore.
Most Wearable- I use UD more than any other brand so I’m going to have to go with them again. I literally cried when I lost my Skull Palate.
Most Over-hyped- I think MAC takes the cake on this one. I’m always interested to see what they come out with but I also haven’t bought anything from them in years. I’ll probably buy some products from them just to see if they’ve changed but I’m not holding my breath on it.
Most creative makeup brand? Illamsaqua
Most wearable makeup brand? BeneFit
Most overhyped makeup brand? MAC
Creative? Make Up For Ever…I love the colors and formulations. The wear time on them is superb!
Wearable? MAC…they create make-up looks that can be used for everyday. I also think that many people who use MAC “over-use” the make-up and end up looking like 1cent make-up counter hookers.
Overhyped? Dior…overpriced and nothing that can’t be replicated by a lower end line

Most creative makeup brand? tie between MAC and Urban Decay
Most wearable makeup brand? Benefit
Most overhyped makeup brand? most designer makeup lines like Chanel, you can always find a similar product for a lower price
Most creative: UD, not just for packaging, the range of their colours and stuff too
Most wearable: NARS, most of their colours can be worn for a daily look =D
Most overhyped: MAC. Lots of hits with this one. Find a gem here and there, but not really worth the price…
Creative: NYX. I know that might sound odd but they have so many quality shadows for such a good price. Close to MAC quality for so cheap seems quite innovative to me.
Wearable: MAC, such a wide range of foundation colors and I am obsessed with their shadows.
Hyped: Urban Decay. So clever at packaging but SO many colors with glitter fallout. And, their shadows fade and crease on me whereas MAC and NYX do not. Love the primer potion though.
