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.

62. I have highly sensitive skin to makeup. I tried Arbonne a year and a half ago and LOVE IT. I can now wear mascara, foundation, lipstick, etc and my face does not break out in a rash.

70. I only use natural cosmetics and two of my faves are Earth's Beauty and Real Purity. They can be viewed and purchased at www.allnaturalcosmetics.com - I do not sell these products, just really love them! Since I've been wearing natural, I hardly have any breakouts. My skin looks great!

72. I too found the perfect product and have been a devoted user for years. Have you tried Enfuselle Nutrition Therapy and Minerelles by Shaklee? They have a 100% guarantee with each product. They are backed up by 50 years of scientific nutrition research and clinical studies and have developed the most advanced thereapeutic skin care system around. Enfuselle is made to block all skin-damaging free redical reactions. I just turned 60 but keep hearing people tell me that my daughter and I look like sisters! www.shaklee.net/susie

74. I prefer Avon Products. They are cheaper than most and work better than many. The Anew products are wonderful. I am allergic to most products, but can use the Anew. If you are interested in trying Avon please try my on-line store. Shipping is only $3.00 for as much as you can order, but if you register on my site I will send you a free shipping code. www.youravon.com/ayount is the address. Avon is not satisfied if you are not satisfied.

75. I am also surprised Lancome is not on the list. Their foundation is the bee's knees! Highest quality of the department store brands. This list does not really seem accurate. Just because a brand is a popular search does not mean it is the most used or best.

76. Merle Norman Cosmetics is the best, made in the U.S.A., no animal testing, no lead in the lipstick, no mercury in the mascara. Tried all the other junk, now try Merle Girl and you will never go back! it's the best in the industry! American products are the best and the most trusted and most innovative. Cool colors, great skin, body, everything is extraordinary.
