Let me see, I like a whole lot of makeup lol
My favorite brands would definitely be Mary Kay, benefit, Estée Lauder, and it's a toss up between Clinique and Lancôme.
I use basically everything Mary Kay. They have really come along ways since they started. They are just like the other brands too but since they don't have to pay for overhead, rent, etc, they can charge less for their cosmetics. Being a Mary Kay consultant, you get them a heck of a lot cheaper.
Now, I do love Benefit as well. I don't use all of their products but I know pretty much all of them. Their POREfessional is pretty amazing for covering pores. And I do like their blush and bronzers but lately I have been using my Lancôme one. Benefits concealer is freaking amazing as well.
Now I do love Estée lauders lipstick and they have good foundation as well. Now Estée Lauder owns Clinique and Mac. So I like their lipsticks as well. Clinique DDML moisturizer is very good. I put that one on first then my Mary Kay one because the DDML get deeper into the skin, and I have dry skin so I need both.
I have worked with these lines so they all have their pros and cons. If you ever have questions don't feel shy to message me. Trust me, I'm your girl.
Now, my fiancé and I plan on getting married next June 2015. I will be doing my own makeup and possibly hair because I don't trust people with my face. Hair yes. Face no. I'm very picky. Did I mention I'm a makeup artist? I do love it but it definitely has it's downfalls since I don't look like the "ideal" makeup artist or whatever you want to call it. Yet I can do makeup just as well as the "ideal " ones.
