Tarte. it's one of the best brands out there, pretty much every product is a hit for me which is rare in most brands! Bare Escentuals I don't like. It broke me out and it's overrated... I do however like some products from its Buxom line.

Definitely Bare Escentuals. I pretty much own something in every category (foundation, blush, eyeliner, etc.) from that brand.

Although they're known for their foundation, their other products are just as amazing.

Ex., their blushes are super pigmented and my favorite mascara is from them - Flawless Definition Volumizing Mascara.

I wouldn't splurge on their eyeshadows though, because they're super messy, or their lipglosses, because their are plenty of good drugstore glosses that compare. Other than that, you can't really go wrong with Bare Escentuals. :)

The Buxon Line from Bare Minerals is great. I do not own anything from Tarte but, you can't go wrong with either. Get stuff from both and if one breaks you out, then throw it away. Both are great choices!

Tarte has good mascara, bare escentuals has great face products (get mineral veil, and their powder foundation, its amazing!)

Other brands I love:

mac- great blush, eyeshadow, eyeliner, lipgloss

Smashbox- great primer, great lipgloss

Nars- great blush

Laura mercier- great foundation

benefit- great bronzer/blush, concealer

Bare Essentials . :)

The makeup won't clog pores, it's cheaper, and its got all natural ingredients.
