I have a mixed bag but the one tried and true is Yves St. Laurent mascara. It is sublime. Every makeup line has something they do well. But my thing is starting with healthy skin underneath. If your skin looks good you can swipe on some mascara and smear on some lipgloss and go.

Corrects dark circles and brightens eyes
Love it!
Art can never exist without naked beauty displayed. I somehow missed this thread. Thanks ladies for all of the posts. I am hopefully going to make use of them in the future.
I wear bare minerals.
I have never liked the liquid makeup. I know it has probably changed since wearing when I was younger. But I do like the bare minerals.
I don't wear much makeup, just the pure essentials.
One product I love is the Garnier Skin Renew Anti-Dark Circle Roller
For my eye makeup the Avon Ultimate Mega Makeup Pallet is my hero. It comes with a bunch of different basic shades of eye shadows and lipsticks, along with everyday bush. While I dumped the included brushes in favor for my Mac ones, the pallet is a great gift and lasts a long time.
I finish with some drug store mascara such as Maybellines Falsies and which ever flavor of chapstick/eos I feel like sticking in my purse for the day. For evening I'll go with red lip stick or a shimmering gloss.
Takes me about 5-10 minutes every morning.

Best Mascara and love the brush
Art can never exist without naked beauty displayed. Work makeup: Lip gloss, right now Cover Girl in #txtme Red. Non-work makeup: Lip gloss, same colour. Going out makeup: Lip gloss, light application of L'Oreal Perfecting Base, light application of blush, maaaaybe some eye shadow and mascara. Perfume, all cases: Estee Lauder Pleasures.
Yes, I know, I'm a piker in the world of makeup use and application.

I've been using this palette a lot lately:
I worked as a beauty advisor at Ulta for a short time just so I could get the discount. I spent more on products than I made, for real. I have such a long list Dani. OMG. Urban Decay is the best eyeshadow hands down. Mascara...my eyelashes are so long it really does not matter, so I buy the cheaper stuff. I have used Lancome forever, but have noticed little to no difference. Eyeshadow is MY thing and Urban Decay rules! Cargo and Anastasia are good too for shadows. Napolean is wonderful for concealer. Too Faced has lovely blush and Benefit, Hoolah, is my favorite bronzer for contouring. Perfume...I could go nuts (and do). Dior Miss Cherie the best, Coco chanel Mademoiselle, Lancome La vie est belle, Escada Cherry in the Air, Gucci Envy. The best skin regime is using pure coconut oil. For cleansing, moisturizing, everything! Makes your skin look and feel super sexy! Been waiting for Victor Rolf/s Flowerbomb to come to the states. I don't have a make up bag; I have a make up room! The absolute best self tanner is called Norvell one hour... something or other. They discontinued it, but if you want to have the most beautiful dark golden color instantly without orange streaks find it on Ebay. It used to retail for 40.00; you can find it for much cheaper on Ebay. Face wash...baking soda and water. Go natural when you can, and it works very well. I make my own sugar scrub with sugar, organic virgin olive oil, essential oils (whichever you like) and sometimes some coconut oil. It works so well and if you shave your legs after using it, you will get the softest shave ever. I could ramble on, but I sound pretty superficial right about now.
