Mine was Miss Sporty. The pink lipgloss was the first piece of make up I ever bought.

I remember it was a Maybelline Mousse Foundation that I had seen a friend using. At the time I thought it looked great, I know realise that this may not have been the case. I eventually stopped using it and moved onto other brands and products.

Bonne Bell for the lip glosses and Jane Cosmetics for my first everything.

Miss sporty was my first make up brand, but when i bought my first baught MAC i did fall in love with make up and since than i love to were make up and love playing with it!

Mayboline. It was the late 50's that I wore a little makeup for a very swanky high society wedding. I had a touch of cheeks, some mascara and if they ever had such a thing as clear lipstick I had it on...it was probably more like a really light pink that I licked of right away as I don't see any of it in the photos I still have. We did not have a ton of brands back then. Once I was into doing my own makeup - it again was Mayboline with some Bonny Bell tossed in. Still to this day I remember the GREAT cheek stain that Bonny Bell made in a gel form (in a tube). I wish someone made it to last as long as that used to last.

Maybelline

My first brand was Manhatten. I'm not sure, if it'll be available in the U.S..

I specifically remember putting on highlighting powder by Wet & Wild on one of my cousins at a young age. And used Estee Lauder lipsticks on her too. Hahaha!!! Yesteryears!

The first beauty brand I ever remember using was Estee Lauder. It was my 11tg birthday and my mother's BFF bought me the Estee Lauder "Beautiful" perfume, mauve colored lipstick and a red lipstick. I didn't know what to do with the red lipstick then, but I do mow!

I forgot to say if I have good memories of them. Yes, I do! I loved my grandma, and if it was good enough for her, then it was good enough for me! We were both "Winters" in coloring. Of the Bonne Bell lipglosses, yes, I have good memories of them. They had cloying flavors, but who was I to be picky?

Mine, I think, was my grandmother's Helena Rubenstein bright pink lipstick called Roma Rose, or possibly Bonne Bell lipglosses in the 70s. I was really too young for makeup:) That just made me want it more.

Mary Kay and Fashion Fair -- oh the memories...!

I think it was Maybelline. But MAC is the brand that really got me into makeup. Ever since my wallet hates me :(

clinique. My sister bought me an eyeshadow and cream eyeshadow over 8 years ago. I still have it today and it's still good. :P

max factor

I became addicted to eye shadow while in H S . I remember this brand called aziza ,I think it was called. Use to sneak to the drug store then stash it and apply it AFTER I got to school in the bathroom. They had great eyeshadow palettes. Also, I loved Bonne Bell.

It was a lip gloss duo from Avon, around 1979-1981 ??????? I loved that little gloss compact shaped like a fried egg, you had to twist the yolk off and the gloss duo was under there !

Shiseido. It's my mom favourite brand and I was kind of try out with what she had. And, I'm still using Shiseido these days. It never fails me especially their skincare products.

i convinced my mom to buy dior mascara which turned into the first makeup brand i ever used and then i began to explore other high end and drug store brands!

A Maybelline lipstick :) That's the only item I could afford when I was in college.

My first eyeshadow was an almost invisible skin colored drugstore brand. But the first make-up brand I remember vividly is a L'Oreal lavender eyeshadow that had a weird sponge applicator that fit over the tip of your finger. I used to lover L'Oreal back in the 80s.

My first makeup product was a brown Rimmel mascara and a beautiful (that's what I thought it was) sheer pink lipgloss from H&M. I was 12 years old and I loved those products to bits!

Christian Dior!!! My mom took me to the counter and bought me an eyeshadow quintent (beige and browns), a lipliner and a beige lipgloss... I remember it like it was yesterday :s Then I started using Lancome, Chanel, MAC and so on!!!!

Pupa!! When I was a teenager, I bougth their eyeshadow set with teddy bear shape :)

I started out with covergirl and maybelline.

The first makeup I remember buying was a Hard Candy eye shadow quad, back when it was sold at Sephora, then Print eye shadow from MAC...hooked :)

Lip Smackers!!! Great memories of this awesome lip balm!!

I would have to say Clinique they seemed so popular at the time and loved to get a gift with purchase.

My mom bought me a Color Workshop palette with tons of eyeshadows, four blushes, two face shimmers, two lipsticks, and four lip glosses. Needless to say, as a 12 year old who knew zip about makeup, I felt so happy and loved all the pretty colors. Color Workshop is a horrible brand of course, poor pigmentation with no longevity, but as a preteen, it excited me.

I remember I stole my moms lancome foundation when I was three and took it to daycare with me ( and I wondered why the grown-ups were staring at me) then I had some kid makeup from sephora and collected dozens of lip smackers. What really got me started was when I got my first mac and urban decay makeup on my 13th birthday.

oh boy.. wow. All i can remember is going into the ONE and ONLY drug store my "Town Center" had an eyeing up all the makeup. I remember when L'Oreal LASH OUT was first out, and there was this eyeshadow (maybe someone here remembers?) It was "supposed" to do your lid, crease and highlight all at once. The pot was a flat, rectangular shape, it came in brown with flecks of white, cream etc, and blue with flecks of deep blue, white and light blue.. gosh, i can't remember it. There was also this other drug store brand that you bought their palette and was able to customize it..HOWEVER, the first high end (so i thought) stuff? Mary Kay.. I remember my mom putting their foundation on with wet fingers. YUK!

I remember it well. My mom has always been a faithful clinique addict. And when she got products in the gift bags she didn't want or stuff she had hit pan on it went into my drawer. Thus started my love affair with makeup at age 5. Clinique is still one of my favorite brands today!

Definitely Covergirl. It was mascara in a purple tube that my mom bought. Who knows what it even did. LOL.

wow! that's a tough one given that I started with make-up with 13 and am turning 29 next month :D but it must have been a sample of Lancome's defincils mascara, oh and I don't count the horrid nailpolishes I mixed with tip-ex and blue ink :D

i had a very attractive blue lipstick from afterthoughts and some markwins blue eyeshadow that i regularly wore in high school :) first good brands were some smashbox my mom gave me from qvc and i started buying clinique because there was a counter on campus.

MAC here too. When I was in highschool, a cooler, trendier friend of mine took me to a store and I got Studio Fix powder and a couple of eyeshadows: a bright teal (possibly Electric Eel), a sparkly blue, and a sparkly purple. I loved those eyeshadows. I would use a q-tip to line half of my lower lashline with the teal and the other half with another color. I always got compliments...haha. Now, I'm a nude eyeshadow kinda gal, but I'm also 10 years older. Memories.

It was either wnw or cover girl

The very first beauty product I got was a Max Factor mascara (2000 Calorie, I think). It was horrible to apply! I got spider eyes instantly, and it smeared all over my lid. It actually put me off from trying anyting from the brand for about 10 years. Then I tried the same kind again a couple of years ago, and it wasn't nearly as bad as I remembered. So it was probably just my poor application that made it such a bad experience, hehe.

I -loved- the naked palette from Too Faced (Not Urban Decay!). I saved up my pennies and blew $100 worth of makeup from Sephora.com. I thought $100 was ALOT to spend on makeup back the in day... but now I spend that quite often. Sorry wallet :(.

It was either Wet n Wild or Love My [Lips/Nails/etc]. I have good memories, but they weren't particularly great products :P

Haha same here! When I was 16 I bought my first mac product which was some pigments as well from the M.A.C. store. Ever since then I never stopped, thats what really made me fall in love with makeup because their products were always so fulfilling. Lets just say 3 years later my addiction to M.A.C. and other high end brands is larger haha.

I'm a lot older than most of the others who post here and my first forays into makeup were with lipsticks by Cutex (doubt they are even around any longer) - I think I was in gr. 6 or 8 and I had 2 "flavoured" lipsticks by them - purchased at "great cost" to me with my allowance money. I still remember them - one was Peppermint Pink (and it was minty flavoured) and the other was a butterscotch or caramel one both in taste and colour! Not too long after that, I moved on to Mary Quant and Yardley (they were all the rage with their lip glosses called "Slickers" and other products "fronted" by Jean Shrimpton!

Maxfactor and Maybelline if I remember correct.

Cover girl powder and blue eyeshadow from Claires :)

I believe it was Lip Smackers in Strawberry.

As a woman of color our first true blue beauty brands are tend to fashion fair or flora roberts... My 1st was a cream based foundation that made me orange as a pumpkin and always transferred to my clothes ... Now I use Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk foundation... what a difference a decade makes... LMAO

MAC was my introduction to make up too!!!

My first big cosmetics buy was Mac also 1 of their face powders and a viva glam lip gloss and i still love them today!
