My mother threw out all of my makeup. Suggestions??
15/f
So today my mom threw out all of my makeup and brushes (even the expensive stuff and the brand new stuff) because she says it could have mono germs on it from when I had mono last month (i know.. wtf?!).
It was about $90 worth of makeup that was mostly given to me as gifts. So now that I need a whole new makeup supply, I kind of need suggestions because I have never really gone shopping for makeup before. I would like a mid-range product, not quite MAC, but not the $4 foundations either...
I am fair, with dark brown almond shaped eyes and medium-a little dark brown hair.
I would like to get--
-Mascara (just to lengthen and curl)
-Eyeliner pencil
-Loose powder, or liquid foundation
-Eyeshadow
-Blush (powder)
-Concealer
and any other products you swear by.
If you have any suggestions of your favorite products, I would love you forever!
Thanks!

Okay, I'm sorry I don't have any money spending advice right now, but I'm commenting because I have a warning.
DO NOT buy make up from dollar stores, and do not buy NYC brand make up. There have been recent news reports about how NYC products contain lead which can poison you.
[I only made this comment for your own good. I didn't mean to not help you with what TO buy, but I'm trying to help you with what NOT to buy because of health reasons.]

Covergirl is good. They Have in both expensive n inexspensive prices. The dollar store isnt badd.

You know... I've tried the expensive make-up and the cheap stuff. What I've learned is that they all pretty much work the same. (At least for me.) I highly recommend the new line of make-up by Neutrogena. Not only is it affordable but it's also non-comedogenic (meaning that it doesn't clog pores). Another bonus is that I'm very fair-skinned and have a difficult time finding make-up that matches my skin tone... This is by far the best that I've found. You can find it at Wal-Mart, Target, and Eckerd's I know for sure.
The line includes liquid foundation, pressed and loose powder, concealer, lipstick, lipgloss, eyeshadow, blush, tints for the lips, cheek, and eyes (love it), mascara and eyelash tints... I'm not sure about pencils... Probably?

Mascara: I've always used Maybelline Great Lash. It's been voted Number 1 Mascara many times. It's about $4-6 at CVS, depending on sales & promotions.
Eyeliner: New York Color Waterproof [the $3.99 one, in black or any color you like] and Maybelline Lash Stylist [really precise, but not waterproof]
Foundation: I use whatever I can get my hands on. Maybelline & CoverGirl both make mousse foundation, and it covers really well. You might need moisturizer beforehand though, it gets cakey on dry skin. I also have Clinique liquid foundation, if you're going to spend that much on makeup, go to the counter and have them pick the best one for your skintype- they'll analyze your skin for free. Neutrogena liquid works well too. With foundation, stick with whatever brand matches your skin best.
Eyeshadow: I always get whatever's cheapest & the brand that has the colors I want. Almay lasts ALL day, and it never wears off for me. CoverGirl has nice trios, and they're inexpensive too. If you're willing to spend a little more, FLIRT! [from Kohl's] has really nice, shimmery colors.
Powder and concealer I use Covergirl- TruBlend and freshlook, whatever's cheaper the week I need it.
As for other products: Clean&Clear Oil-Free Oxygenating moisturizer, C&C oil absorbing sheets, and plain ol' chapstick- it matches everything and doesnt get icly-looking or taste like plastic. Target's "Studio Tools" brand has really nice, inexpensive makeup brushes. Sephora's are nice too, but a LOT more expensive. Travel sizes are cheaper and still get the job done [and are often easier to hold]
