benefit bobbi brown elf...
Most creative: MUFE, Illamasqua, Benefit Most wearable: Bobbi Brown, Smashbox, and Nars i guess. Most overhyped: MAC in the first place, Shu Uemura, and definately CLINIQUE
Most creative: MAC Most wearable: MUFE Most overhyped: YSL
Most Creative -- M.A.C - I think they have a wide variety of colors that really get your attention, and the collections they come out with are very creative. Most Wearable -- Benefit - They have a lot of products for every type of skin, if you're looking for something more sheer or something more pronounced. Everything they make comes in a alternative for a lighter/darker skin tone. Most Overhyped -- Although it's creative, I'm going to have to say M.A.C because a lot of their stuff is nice, but I do feel like the craze over their limited edition products is quite intense.
Most creative? MUFE Most wearable? Bobbi Brown, Estee Lauder Most over-hyped? Mac, BE & Stila
Most creative: Urban Decay, for sure. The packaging, the product names-there's a lot of thought put into it all, for sure. Most wearable: For me, Stila. Even the bolder colors blend out and look semi-natural. Most over-hyped: MAC. I have things that I like from MAC, but nothing that I absolutely adore. I don't know...it's a nice brand, but I don't see what sets it SOOO much higher than other's.
Most creative: Illamasqua - you really have to be creative to wear some of their products. Most wearable: MAC - Good quality overall. Something for everyone, regardless of skin color and personality, pro or not. Most hyped: Benefit - the quality sucks and you can get the same products they sell but for better quality from other brands, even though Benefit's packaging is creative and funky. Or Urban Decay - their stuff is too glittery and I'm on the fence about UDPP.
Most creative makeup brand? Illamasqua! Most wearable makeup brand? MAC! Most overhyped makeup brand? Chanel, so expensive and the quality is so not worth it!
Most Creative - Not sure considering I haven't had the joy of experiencing a lot of brands yet. Most Wearable - Loreal Overhyped - Surprise.....it's MAC!
Most creative? Urban Decay. Most wearable? Smashbox Most overhyped? MAC - A really great company but some people are just overly obsessed with it.
Most creative makeup brand? -MAC for the frequent collection releases and Illamasqua for the gorgeous color range! Most wearable makeup brand? -Clinique and Bobbi Brown (products from these brands never irritate my skin) Most overhyped makeup brand? -MAC to some extent, because the "collecting" can get quite out of hand) and Chanel because they're products are way too flippin' expensive!
* Most creative makeup brand? MAC * Most wearable makeup brand? MAC * Most overhyped makeup brand? Tom Ford.
Most creative makeup brand? Urban Decay Most wearable makeup brand? Mac Most overhyped makeup brand? Bareminerals Great questions!!
most creative- Too Faced! i think the ideas,names,packaging is all really creative most wearable- MAC, since they have a huge range of colors and products most overhyped- NARS, dont kill me, i just wasn't overly impressed
Most creative brand - Make Up For Ever I feel like it really comes out with great stuff for make up artists to be creative with and the general public. Like their flash creams is an example. You could use those for just about anything. It's really awesome quality too. Most wearable brand - Bobbi Brown I've heard great things from the brand and they have great color selections. I've tried a few products and they're really great. Most overhyped brand - MAC Definitely MAC. They come out with stupid collections all the time and there's great products, sometimes, and usually really bad stuff with bad pigmentation. Like they just skipped over testing it and just needed something to fill up more space for the collection. I am always disappointed with MAC and it's products. Their foundation is thick and cakey. It's most suitable for stage of movie makeup. It does horrible things to your skin. Extremely overhyped. I find other brands at Sephora take more time into designing and coming out with high quality products. I'd rather buy MUFE, Nars, Benefit, Stila etc than MAC.
Most creative makeup brand? - Urban Decay Most wearable makeup brand? - MAC has great neutrals! Most overhyped makeup brand? - MAC for sure. & i'd say NARS is getting up there toooo...
1. Creative? As in what make-up brand "creates" the most? That would be MAC; Or, as is what make-up allows you to be most creative? That would be Make Up ForEver 2. Wearable? NARS -- Beautiful. Flawless. Lots of choices without being overwhelming. While some of the color choices are "out there", the line has several "go to" colors (Dolce Vita, Orgasm), as well. 3. Bare Minerals, bar none... Ick!
Most creative: Urban Decay Most wearable: Smashbox Most overhyped: Too Faced
Most creative makeup brand? Shu Ueumura and Guerlain. I would say they are more innovative. Most wearable makeup brand? Bobbi Brown and Burberry. Very safe for day to day wear and at the office. Most overhyped makeup brand? MAC hands down. They release new collections and LE's like almost every month, it's insane and very tiring.
Mac, Mac, Mac
Creative: MAC Wearable: MAC Overhyped: Nars
Most creative makeup brand? Duwop Most wearable makeup brand? Bare Escentuals Most overhyped makeup brand? MAC
MAC, Urban Decay MAC MAC, Chanel, Dior
Urban Decay Estee Lauder/Bobbi Brown MAC/ Dior
Most creative makeup brand? Illamasqua only because that is their gimmick. Though i think mufe gives you more tools to be creative. Most wearable makeup brand? For you average joe - Clinique or Lorac. For those crazys like me that can't get her fill... MAC - it just has about everything you could want to do what you want. Most overhyped makeup brand? Urban Decay (only because i only love their eye stuff- everything else is ehhh) and Benefit (I have one product of theirs and only two more i am really wanting to get just not that good of a brand compared to others)
Creative? NARS Wearable? Bobbi Brown Overhyped?MAC
Creative: MAKE UP FOR EVER Wearable: Bobbi Brown and Laura Mercier Overhyped: MAC, URBAN DECAY, and BENEFIT!!!
Most creative makeup brand? BENEFIT, no other brand has such marketing concept and packaging (which is a part of marketing as well) along with really nice quality. Most wearable makeup brand? BOBBI BROWN. Most overhyped makeup brand? GUERLAIN. Too pricey, but products from less expensive brands could bit them in each and every part.
Most Creative: MAC hands down...its and industry leader and the launches sell out because its just that good. Most Wearable: In terms of pallets and colors, MAC, though I am never disappointed with Sheiseido either. Most Hyped brand: Benefit. I've just never been impressed with anything the put out nor am I a fan of the cult followed BadGal Lash and liner.
make up forever MAC Bare essentuals
Most creative makeup brand: MAC Most wearable makeup brand: Bobbi Brown (colors) and Make Up Forever (foundation) Most overhyped makeup brand: Ironically, MAC

Illamasqua is definitely the most creative i've ever come across! GORGEOUS creativity w their products! Benefit is the most wearable brand i've come across, especially with the amount of fake-its they have. Huge crazy colours no way. Looking perfect and flawless yes yes yes. and MAC is the most overrated!! Especially for the price in AUSTRALIA, the products aren't that great, especially considering there's Inglot here and it's SO affordable!
Most creative: MAC Most wearable: MAC Most overhyped: NARS
Most creative makeup brand? MAC or Urban Decay. Most wearable makeup brand? Bobbi Brown hands down. Most overhyped makeup brand? Illamasqua: their stuff isn't dat great.
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.
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...
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: MAC Most wearable: Bobbi Brown & MAC Over Hype: Urban Decay
* Most creative makeup brand? Illamasqua or Urban Decay * Most wearable makeup brand? Bobbi Brown * 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? Illamsaqua Most wearable makeup brand? BeneFit Most overhyped makeup brand? 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? -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 - 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? MAC; Nars Most overhyped makeup brand? Urban Decay- too much glitter!
MAC!!! :)
most creative: I'd say urban decay, MAC and Benefit Most wearable: MAC Most overhyped: NARS
Most creative makeup brand? MAC and NARS Most wearable makeup brand? MAC and NARS Most overhyped makeup brand? MAC 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 makeup brand? Urban Decay Most wearable makeup brand? Bobbi Brown Most overhyped makeup brand? MAC :D
