I'm a total make-up junkie but I don't wear it heavy. I go for a polished look that is subtle but clean and fresh. I wear a couple different brands of stuff.
Make-up: In the summer on my face I use a tinted moisturizer from Benefit, You Rebel:

http://www.benefitcosmetics.com/...011&bcBrand=core To add some color to my cheeks I use Bobbi Brown bronzer:

http://www.thebodyshop.com/...roductId=prod4940005 Eyeliner: Anna Sui has the absolute best ones on the market. I have 2 that I've had for years and I have yet to find any other that are as good. Creamy and have good lasting power:

Check out Sephora.com. I think they have pretty much everything on my list except the mascara.
Skincare:
I've been using Shiseido primarily. I use the facial cleanser and eye cream. Both very good.
http://www1.macys.com/...eID=25897*1*24*-1*-1 For a moisturizer, right now I'm using Bliss the youth as we know it:
http://www.blissworld.com/...uth+as+we+know+it.do I'm not 100% happy with it because it doesn't contain an SPF so I'll be on the hunt for a new one when this jar is gone.
I have a problem, I need help. My husband shakes his head. What can I say? I'm almost 40 and grew up in the 80s when everyone wore a ton of make-up.
