ETA: I didn't name brands because it varies and changes all the time.
What do you wear/use for make up (brands would be good too)? All MAC, StudioFix powder foundation, blush, eye shadow, bronzer, mascara, sometimes eye liner, lipstick. I wear the same makeup every day, except mix up my lipstick depending on my outfit. I don't branch out much.

On a normal basis, I don't wear anything or I use a tinted moisturizer (smashbox).

I also have some MAC eye shadow which I love. I have Laura Mercier and Origens eye liner. My favorite lip gloss is Laura Geller. I have an Elizabeth Arden lip stick that I like, but I am not much a lip stick person so I don't wear it often.

If I am going to be out in the sun long enough to need it (more than 30 - 45 minutes) I will use the CA babies stuff I bought for Norah. I have to be super careful to make sure sunscreen doesn't have cocoa butter because I break out in hives.
