I dip around in different companies. Eye primer wise I stick with urban decay cause its the best to me and I've tried tons of different primers. Foundation wise I must stick with my Mac studio fix fluid it's the only one that matches me perfectly shade wise, and eyeshadow, eyeliner etc i dance around between high and low end

of course I love my Mac and Urban Decay shadows,but if you love sparkly shadows,I HIGHLY recommend you taking a quick trip to CVS and going to the NYC stand ( you know,the cheapest makeup you can buy),and getting their little bottle of "Sparkle Eye Dust". The way I apply is by taking out the little brush thats included.hold the top over it and shake some of the powder into the top. Then wet any eyeshadow brush you have and dip into the powder and apply. Its simply amazing!!! The water makes the extremely loose and shimmery powder stay,and makes the already super sparkly shadow sparkle 10x more. I have every single shade they make. I also find that the dollar stores "L.A. Colors" Is comparable. believe me,I know this sounds crazy,but like I said,if you love your sparkly eyeshadows,give it a try,you will wonder how you lived before it

urban decay is my go-to brand. others I like are NYX and Tarte. I personally don't care for MAC and think its overrated. I think it used to be good, but lately I find other brands to be better I've found this to be true for me especially in the eyeshadow department

Mac is cool but there are so many. Sleek, black up, elf, mua, ben nye, bobbi brown, are some of my favs. In fact I have very little from mac.
