In your opinion, is it worth it to get high end makeup from department stores or other places like Sephora, or is the quality of drugstore makeup the same? It must depend on the brands, so which do you think are just as good? I don't want to waste money on makeup, but I don't want it to give me eye infections either.

I used MAC for a few years and then I switched to Laura Mercier.
I like MAC for the shadows and lip colors. I like Laura Mercier for the concealer and base. I have gone all the way to Laura Mercier now, for no reason in particular. The problem I have with MAC and Laura Mercier is that they don't have oil free base and concealer. I know Laura Mercier doesn't, I actually don't remember if MAC does or not. But I have a problem with both of them because my face is so darn oily that nothing can cover my shininess. It stinks! Even drugstore brands. So, I guess I don't have a preference of high end or drugstore. I guess I'm saying I need help. If you know of a makeup brand that doesn't help you be shiny or really oily, tell me! I'm thinking about trying Bobbi Brown soon. Thanks girls! Michelle :-) |

Michelle :-) The matte mousse foundation cyb3r0ptik and I was discussing earlier isn't that oily. It goes on REALLY light and it's a huge difference from the liquid base foundation you find anywhere else. |
