Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »You and me both! I haven’t had the chance to try out much MUFE myself, though.
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »MUFE looks pretty but I haven’t actually played with any :/
SkylerDefinitely MAC, no question. Runners up include Kryolan and Urban Decay. I need to get more MUFE and NARS.
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Like me 🙂 Haven’t tried much of those other brands, though – not enough to make a verdict yet!
MadeleineDefinitely MAC – without a doubt. Next would be Chanel – lipsticks (some) and most of all lipglosses.I do not care for Chanel eyeshadows and foundations at all!
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »I wish I could afford Chanel to be a favorite, ha 🙂The line is so classy, I love it.
VirginiaI can´t decide, i love MAC eyeshadows and pigments but i can´t live without NARS blushes, i love them!!
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »NARS blushes are nice!I couldn’t live without MAC’s pigments myself 🙂
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Haha 😀 Love MAC too (duh!).
MarsadieChanel is the best of the best.Clarins for skincare. Lancome because I’m loyal (I was a BA once).MAC for certain staples like Lipglass and special shadow colors.But yes, Chanel, without a doubt. It’s so..luxurious! And pretty. And quality.
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Chanel is nice, I wish I could afford it more often!
MarsadieI actually use a lot of Clinique from day to day. They have REALLY come up when it comes to pigment and quality. Forgot about them…Clinique is good, too!
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Clinique has great skincare!
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »A Smashbox fan! 🙂 I always drool over their Photo finish primer or whatever!
KatieI am a true MAC fanactic for all things eyes and lips. I love Clinique & Chanel for skin care, face, blush, and mascara.I am a lover of pretty much all makeup brands but I tend to own the most MAC, Clinique, and Chanel.
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Love MAC, too! I find they’ve got some good face stuff, too – could be improved, though 😉
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Great to hear about what works for women of color 🙂 It’s not my area of expertise, so thank you Kianna!
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »What’s your favorite at Lancome?
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Great choices! A lot seem to like MUFE!
MykeshiaI keep coming back to MAC because I love the new formulations of the eyshadows and the colors are just fabulous. The Matte^2 line is so AWESOME. I know I’ll be collecting more and more of those shadows.Bare Escentuals was my first “real” makeup brand so I’m always interested in what the company has coming up next. They are actually introducing some shadows and blushes with platinum, gold, or silver metals infused.But also I love me some smashbox jet set eyeliner and the soft lights blushes.
AnnieMAC definitely! Except I like Dior for mascara, and I LOVE ERA foundation… There is just no other like it for me when it comes to foundation and mascara… Other than that, MAC for everything else!
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »ERA foundation? Tell me more!
AnnieERA foundation is a spray on foundation- it’s honestly the best foundation. I think, and everyone that I got to try it have switched to it immediately! It gives a flawless, airbrushed, ethereal finish. You can get more information on classifiedcosmetics.com.
chuarmkDefinately MAC!!! But I do buy things from other brands once in a long…..while too eg. Kiko,Pupa,Stila,Jill Stuart,Visee,Loreal,Deborah,Collistar,Nouba,etc..
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Wow, what a long list of other brands! Sounds like a lot of Japanese brands, or am I wrong?

Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Was there any doubt that you’d love MAC?! 🙂
NatalieI tend to use a mix between MAC and this new brand thats come out here in Aus called Inglot… its originally a Polish brand but they have brought out some stores here… I find that the quality is as good as some of the MAC products…. the staying power of the eye shadow is fantastic… I did my make up and then fell asleep on my bed waiting for my parents to get ready to go out and I woke up 3 hours later (parents had left without me) and my make up was still how it was when I did it! The pigments arent as good as MAC but the eye shadows and foundation etc is really good…
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Inglot – I think I’ve heard of it, not sure though. I’ll have to look into it!
KarrieOverall, I tend to use mostly MAC, but other faves are Urban Decay, Nars and BeneFit. I also really have great luck with Maybelline foundations, powders, concealers, and mascaras.
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Great picks, Karrie! I’m glad you have luck with Maybelline products, too – saves your wallet a bit!
CatyOh yes! I definately agree with Dior, the color of their lipsticks are very bold and long-lasting, and the lipglosses are great. =]
tanyaI recently made the exclusive switch to MAC, went though every piece of makeup I own and got rid of EVERYTHING that wasn’t MAC. It honestly makes getting ready in the morning soooooooo much easier. My makeup collecting shrunk by about 85% but in the long run, I plan to build it back up with just MAC.
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »WOW! Now that’s dedication to a brand!! 😀
CatyDefinately Lancome and etc.Haven’t had a chance to try MAC yet, I’m 13, so I can only buy so much off my allowance money 🙂
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Not many Lancome fans on Temptalia that I’ve noticed – what are some of your favorite productS?
mithiMAC eyeshadows and paint pots are the BEST. but i use jane iredale mineral products for my skin because MAC foundations make me breakout. clinique is my top line of defense for skincare.if i want to try anything besides MAC, chanel, dior, and givenchy are pretty.hey, is napoleon perdis any good? I have yet to try his products! comparable to MAC?
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »I’m glad to hear you love the new paint pots! I’m not a big fan of mienral makeup quite yet, maybe one day.Napoleon Perdis is excellent in quality! Definitely comparable to MAC in that respect.
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Napoleon Perdis is gaining ground on my list!
melissaI just started using MAC and I love it!! I also love Benefit. Their FYeye is great and Hula bronzer is the best.
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »I’m glad you’re lovin’ MAC! Welcome to the club 🙂
AllyI love Clinique foundations, and MAC’s Ltd. Edition LipGlosses! and Elizabeth Arden stuff is good. There are so many!
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Hey Ally! Clinique is great for anything that has to do with skin, that’s for sure.
NicoleMAC isn’t a favorite… it’s an addiction… a vice… HAHAHA!!! anyhow, of course I love MAC for everything but I use the following for very lazy, fast makeup routine days: Bare Escentuals foundations, Benefit 10 and Badgal Lash, Clinique eyeshadows (neutral colors) and eyebrow pencil. For every other day, time, etc… it’s MAC!!!
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Haha, Nicole! 🙂 How do you like BE foundation? I keep trying mineral foundations but hate them!
Christine Light-Medium, Neutral, slight yellow undertones. Normal-to-Dry skin. »Love MAC, too (duh!). I haven’t tried much UD actually! I guess I should 😉
ZsofiMAC 😀Some MAC history for all the MAC lovers: “MAC is not a makeup-line,which was created by a makeup artist,but a line,created for makeup artists.”-said Mac-founder Frank Toskan,in 1997,in an interview. With his partner Frank Angelo (died in 1997) and his brother-in-law Vic Casale begun Toskan in the early ’80ies in the kitchen of his mother the mixing of lipsticks and other makeup. His reason was,that he couldn’t find the optimal products for his work. He was a hair-stylist,makeup artist and photographer. More and more of his colleagues and models wanted to work with his products. (Even Lady Di was spotted at a MAC counter.) The makeup-artist brand from Canada: MAC (Make-up Art Cosmetics) was born. “We wanted to create a makeup-line for all the hues of skincolor,all groups of ages and all genders.”-said Frank Toskan.
