My Top 5 Super Favorite Makeup Brands


I review a ton of makeup products every week, and profess my love for a lot as well so in case you're wondering if there are brand/s that I'm really partial to, here are the top 5:

#5: K-PALETTE

I never ever thought that I'd actually have an HG eyeliner brand until I met K-Palette. It has everything I want: awesome staying power, precise applicators, handy packaging, and long shelf life!

K-Palette Favorites: The Real Lasting Liquid Eyeliner, of course!

#4: BENEFIT COSMETICS

Cute packaging is my weakness, and Benefit Cosmetics always gets the best of me. Aside from that, they've got great performing everyday products as well.

#3: NARS

I deeply admire Nars' talent for colors. I also like the simple yet sophisticated feel of the brand's packaging.

NARS Favorites: Funny Face Lipstick, Gina Blush, Madly Blush, Lustre Blush, Firming Foundation, Eyeshadows, Dolce Vita Lipstick, Satin Lip Pencils, Tinted Moisturizer, Niagara Lipstick, Manhunt Lipstick, Afghan Red Lipstick, Jungle Red Lipstick

#2: M.A.C

It started with Russian Red, and the rest is history. It's the second makeup brand I owned, and I find that MAC's makeups are uniformly superb: From brushes to lipsticks

M.A.C Favorites:

Lipsticks: Russian Red, Cosmo, Candy Yum Yum, Viva Glam I, Rebel, Ruby Woo, Freckletone, Spirit, Malt, Show Orchid

Blush: Peachykeen, Tantone, Coygirl, Instant Chic

Lipgloss: Pink Poodle

Foundation: Studio Fix Powder Plus Foundation, Mineralize Cream Foundation

Powder: Mineralize Skinfinish Powder, Blot Powder

Concealer: Studio Finish, Prolongwear Concealer, Chromagraphic Pencil

Brow Products: Impeccable Brow Pencil, Fluidline Brow Gelcreme

Lashes: False Lashes Mascara

Eyeshadows: Ricepaper, Deep Truth, Glamour Check!, Electra, Humid

#1: Bobbi Brown

The brand that started my affair with makeups, not to mention I admire Bobbi's principles and her bases are really da bomb! :D

Bobbi Brown Favorites:

Foundation: Skin Foundation, Long-Wear Even Finish

Blush: Pale Pink, Calypso Coral Pot Rouge, Rose

Lipstick: Nude

Concealer: Concealer Kit

Eyeshadows: Almost everything, especially the mattes and neutrals

Powder: Retouching Powder

Special Mention: LAURA MERCIER

Laura has the same beauty approach as Bobbi Brown: fresh, pretty makeup, but I find that the overall feel of her products are whimsical and romantic, perfect for that side of me. :)

Laura Mercier Favorites:

Face: Eye Canvas

Blush: Second Skin Cheek Colour

Foundation: Tinted Moisturizer, Oil-Free Liquid Foundation

Powder: Translucent Powder

Lipstick: Creme Smooth line, Creme Lip Colour in Dusk

That's all! What are your top 5? :)

  5. Awesome choices, but I guess this list would not be realistic for my lifestyle and priorities.

    Mine would have to be: Shiseido for face bases, Fanny Serrano for eyeshadows, Revlon and Maybelline for lipsticks,

  6. Great brands :)

    I'm a sucker for cheap makeup and my HG brands are:

    Nichido - their eyeliners are great
    Avon - for lipstick, blush, eyeshadows, mascara. everything.

  8. Quality list! I agree with these except MAC (not a big fan) and Bobbi Brown (haven't tried, but I'd love to) in their stead I'd pick Shiseido and Fanny Serrano (Filipino reprezent!)

  10. How I wish I could list those brands as well but I have a very modest budget for makeup. I'm happy with drugstore brands and I also use local brands as well :)

  14. Elif: Welcome! :D

    Eloise: YAY! I was wondering also why some of my readers can't comment--some of my readers have brought up this issue to me via my FB fan page. I think Google really monitors comments, and they tend to hold accounts that comment for a number of times on a daily/hourly basis. Spam regulation, I guess. :/

    Ohms: Thanks! :D

    May, BrownOso and Leilani: Thanks for sharing! :D

    Kris: I believe that soon enough, you can finally try these brands! :D

    Joyce: Thanks for sharing your picks! :D Agree, Fanny Serrano has good makeups. :)

    Life's a Shoe: Hi there and welcome to TBJ! :D Urban Decay fan here too! :D UD has converted me to buying eyeshadow palettes as I wasn't really a fan. :D

    Rae: Thanks for sharing your thoughts and your picks! :D

    Anne: Indeed! :D

    Iza: Sweet! Thanks! :D

    Jec: Thank you! :D
