    Might I suggest a tinted moisturizer with sunscreen. You want to keep that youthful glow, right?

    A friend of mine swears by Mac. I know nothing about makeup, beyond "it goes on your face", but she seems to. :smile:

    Mac is great and smash box primer is really good.

    Bare Minerals products for any foundation, blush and concealer. Love the primer and the mineral veil as well. I went 10 years without makeup of any kind (sensitive and rosacea) before I found this and I have never had a reaction to these products. I have yet to find a mascara that doesn't turn me into a racoon after an hour so I don't use any. The only thing I use on my eyes is a smudged Loreal eyeliner. I have at least 50 bottles of nail polish though...all brands and unusual colors. :bigsmile:

    MAC is fantastic, and if you like sparkly stuff, try LUSH, their eyeshadows and liners especially are lovely!

    I have been a makeup artist for the past 8 years and I've worked for MAC, Dior, Lancôme, Clinique, Elizabeth Arden, Benefit, Estée Lauder, MAKEUP FOREVER, and Chanel - so basically I've had a really good opportunity to try things from a variety of lines.

    Full coverage foundation: I would recommend either MAC Studio Fix Fluid or MAKEUP FOREVER HD foundation. They both cover really well without looking heavy and they last all day.

    Light coverage foundation: Diorflash airbrush makeup from Dior. It's super lightweight and fresh looking.

    Powder: I'm a fan of Lancôme's Dual Finish pressed powder and MAKEUP FOREVER's loose setting powder.

    Concealer: Benefit's Erase Paste covers EVERYTHING. Also, their yellowy concealer Lemon-Aid is awesome for really dark undereye circles.

    Eye Makeup: Chanel's powders are almost creamy to the touch and wear forever. MAC and MAKEUP FOREVER have the best range of colors and finishes. Lancôme has pretty awesome shadows, too.

    Mascara: Lancôme, hands down. Their Hypnose is incredible.

    Lip products: MAC Lipglass is my favorite gloss. I love lipsticks from Lancôme, Chanel, Arden, MAC, and MAKEUP FOREVER.

    For foundation, always get the beauty advisor's opinion based on your skin type and undertones and always ask for a sample to try before you buy it so you don't get home with $45 foundation you hate. Also, never test it on your wrist or back of your hand. The color there is completely different from your face. Test on your neck instead.

    Also, NARS blush in Orgasm is the single most flattering blush shade for literally every single skin tone, eye color, and hair color combo.

    I forgot to mention that Anastasia's brow kits are incredible - they have a powder kit that is the bomb. They also have a long wear brow marker that I love.

    And for eyeliners, you can't go wrong with Urban Decay's pencils.

    Also, CONGRATS on your weight loss!!!!

    I literally wear makeup about once a month, so I'm no good for this question. However, CONGRATS on almost 100! Great job, lady!
