Gotta agree with Kim on this one. MAC is great for their huge selection, and NARS makes some beautiful eyeshadows, blush, bronzers, etc

-What do you think of Makeup??
I think the purpose of makeup is to make yourself look your best. It can be used to enhance beauty, it can even completely transform your face (it can hide your flaws, give you bigger eyes, change your face shape with contouring, and give you cheekbones). Makeup can do wonders for people, trust me! Other than that makeup is also art, and I love experiementing with makeup and trying different colors and looks.
Make up creates an illusion of gorgeousness. It can enhance, diminish, and transform the features and textures of your face. What i love is the feeling of beauty it can provide when applied correctly, as well as the overall transformation from a clean to a made up face. I enjoy photography, and i find that i do less retouching if the subject is wearing a good face of make up.
