Are you using one brand of make up?

I'm not. I use different brands starting with my concealer, foundation, eye make up, finishing powder, blush, and lipstick. Some people stick with one brand of make up claiming it's the best. I can't find that in one brand. I have some dept. store make ups and drugstore make ups altogether. How about you?

I never use just one brand of makeup. My collection has a bunch of different brands because I've found that different brands are better at making certain products. Sometimes I'll have a few things from one brand but mostly I have a bunch of different brands of makeup. It all depends on what I like and what works the best for me.

Nope, I also mix randomly. I have some favorite brands of course, but I buy from quite a few different ones.

I only use lipstick and baby powder on my face. With lipstick I use different kinds of brand and besides it takes long time before even finishing a tube of lipstick. I don't use any other make-up for my face so I don't really patronize a particular brand. But I know a friend who spends a lot for branded make up. She will not be contented unless she spends for the most expensive ones. I would say nothing but "What a way to waste money!"

I'm also using different brands of make up. I love Maybelline lipsticks but I use a different brand of lip balm. Even with blush on, eye make up and powder, I use different brands.

It is impossible for a person to use one entire brand of make up and not using the other brands. Different brands produces their products with different formulas. I don't think the formulas of one particular brand can satisfied a person all her needs. Like the lipstick of a brand can be perfect, while the concealer of that brand can be too dry. Some of the cosmetics may cause allergy, while the others don't. Like in the past I found the eyeshadow of "P" brand is good and well pigmented, so I decided to buy the foundation from the same brand. But later I felt very itchy and there were some red spots appeared on my face. They are probably caused by the newly bought foundation. These explain why we always need to try out new cosmetics in order to find which one best suits our needs. And these also explain why we always put aside the cosmetics we bought at home because we found them not suitable no matter how expensive they are. So I think it is smart for you to use different brands instead of sticking to one particular brand.
