Each of the products that is listed as my favorite has been a long-time favorite... meaning I always come back to it, even if I try other stuff in between :o)

I am a makeup ADDICT (I've run out of room in my 20-inch toolbox for all of it) but if I had to choose favorites:

Face: Clinique tinted moisturizer and Physician's Formula pressed powder
Cheeks: Benefit Dallas bronzer and Tarte Cheek Stain in Flushed
Eyes: any Urban Decay eye shadow (the colors are so vibrant!), Covergirl eyeliner, and Buxom mascara
Lips: Covergirl Wetslicks amazemint (fresh breath is a sweet bonus)

This will save you tons of money,
You NEED to have St. Ives Facial (or body scrub) $3.00 @ Walmart, and use it on your face everytime you shower instead of any other facial cleanser. (I don't remember when I last had a pimple!)
Then you use Dove facial moisturizer ($7.00 @ Walmart) very light & totally within budget!
The most important & last thing to use is QUO FACIAL PRIMER (Approx $20 at a drug store) This primer is wicked awesome! It saved me so much $$ over the years from buying the most expensive makeup. Your makeup goes on smooth & lasts alllllll day right into the night. Don't forget to put it all over your face including lips ;) FYI:  A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY!!!!
You use primer on your walls before you paint, why not on your face! Pure genius! 
Other then that, any generic cosmetic that is on sale I try, Loreal Infallible is my recent favorite it's the longest lip gloss I ever had on, pretty cool!
Hope that helps!

I am going to get airbrushed for my wedding day. I have tried it and love it. I'm not sure if you are looking for everyday use or for the BIG day but I recommend at least trying the airbrushed look. This way you don't have to worry about your makeup all night (no matter how long of a day). Most places will also include partial/full eyelashes that way everything looks its best all night.

I agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TobbynS

For a splurge, anything La Mer is amazing!  Their concealer and makeup/powder is amazing.  It covers up everything!

I'm wondering if anyone is going to wear a permanent lipstick for their wedding day.  If so, any suggestions on which brand?  I'm also wondering if you have suggestions for waterproof eyeshadow and liner?  My eyes are really sensitive to powdery eye makeup that will get in them!

Thanks!
