I remember the day my mom told me I was old enough to wear makeup. I was so excited that I immediately went out and bought Maybelline eye shadow, lipstick and blush. At the age of 16, I thought it was the greatest makeup ever. It was about the time I graduated college that I decided to graduate into the higher end cosmetics.
With so many great brands to choose from, my girlfriend and I decided to go to the mall and get our free make up demos. We found that Smashbox cosmetics had some fun products like the eye shadow trios and baked starburst bronzers. We also liked the shimmery lip gloss and blush that Bobbi Brown cosmetics created.
Now that I'm older, I find myself purchasing makeup based on how well it helps me conceal my age rather than how it looks. I recently started using Clarins and feel that their extra-firming foundation works really well.

23. M.A.C. Cosmetics is the best brand of cosmetics you can get besides Chanel and Nars. I tried Mary Kay but it is not a high quality makeup and is as old as the people who sell it. Mary Kay's lip, blush, and eye colors suck too. M.A.C. has a HUGE assortment of colors and the sales people are truly unique, hip, and helpful! Horray for M.A.C!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

29. I love Mary Kay products and I am excited to see that it is number two on the list of cosmetics!!! I have been using and selling the product for over four years. There is such a wide variety of product to choose from. The new mineral foundation gives my skin a natural look and glow. The Microdermabrasion along with the TimeWise set keeps my skin looking young and smooth. I could go on and on and on, but you will just have to try it for yourself to believe the results!!

30. I love MAC and Trish Mcevoy makes the best eyeshadow. The best makeup brushes which almost matter more than the makeup are by Chrysalis. They are the softest and best I have ever used. I also think Avon does a good job with there makeup and there prices are fair.

One of the benefits of having your own Beauty consultant is that you get to try the products before you buy them. How old you are is your business. How old you look is my business.
