I just love makeup!!!! I modeled in college and my favorite part was the makeup!!! Then later after I got married I worked for Lancome, which in my honest opinion is more for older ladies, but it was nice stuff.
Right now I am hooked on Bobbi Brown...I got a terrific Apricot blush that is perfect for my skin (I have a mediterranean complexion, dark brown hair, dark brown eyes) and the best lipstick in the world, Raisin!!! I also got a fabulous blush brush that makes all the difference. I am not thrilled with the foundation though....it is oil free and is a bit too matte...it starts to go matte and flat before you even have it blended, so it is harder to work with. My favorite foundation is the new Clinique, I forget the name, it is for combination skin.
Word of advice for the girls asking about eyeshadow---you can never never go wrong with neutrals, no matter what your coloring. Just match the darkness to your skin's darkness. I use a light wash of cream or sand colored shadow over the whole eye, then dark brown on the lid and in the crease. Brown liner on the upper lid and a coat or two of black mascara does it.
By the way, the best mascara is Maybelline Great Lash....all the pros use it and there is a reason.
