What Would Be In Your Own Makeup Line?

This was on my mind as I was dozing off last night and I really wanted to hear what you girls would make.
It can be anything you like, don't limit yourself, just keep it about makeup or brushes :P

My line would be a foundation that's really versatile, one that can be sheered down to nothing and built up to full coverage and a primer that really does cover pores and wrinkles. I'd do an extremely full coverage concealer that doesn't crease or cake, a cream to powder eyeshadow collection that be used alone or mixed together to create your own customised colour, and a contour, blush and highlight compact that is interchangable (like you'd go into the store and pick out the perfect colours for your face and they put it in a compact for you) because I don't care much about them and it would be handy to have the perfect ones all together haha. And the last thing would be a line of lipsticks that just will not move until you take them off with makeup remover.
Everything would be cruelty free, long lasting, durable and waterproof so I'd probably make a makeup remover too.

I would definitely buy all that off you :) I would probably do a foundation line that really did cater for the pale and darker skined ladies that didn't oxidise and was a true skin like shades. I would also do a brush line that had the look and feel of expensive brushes but were affordable and were not scratchy such as real techniques brushes, I do like their line but the texture of the hairs can be scratchy and the handles are way too big! I would also do a lipstick and lipgloss line that were creamy with full coverage but did last for more than an hour! no lipstick like that lasts on my lips for that length of time. I'd like to do a skincare line but haven't thought about that too much :P

Cool thread and cool ideas too! I'd generally make "invisible" makeup. Undetectable foundation and concealer that are creaseless- one for every skin type and a great variety of skin tones (or better, a cool in-store experience where your tone is mixed for you!), a great lengthening mascara that doesn't dry out before you have the time to finish it. And then I'd do some strange colors for color-changing eyeshadows (think iridescent blue and browns we've been seeing lately but with other shades in the line), a super filling filler to use in very deep indentations and scars on the skin. And all of your ideas are very similar to mine anyway!!

Those are really great ideas! Would you use synthetic or natural hair for your brushes Rebecca? :) Yeah same for me! They never last after I start taking drinks or eating. It drives me crazy because I hate my natural lip colour lol
I LOVE that idea Breeze. Mix it to your perfect shade like they do when you're buying paint :D You could make a mascara that has a little dropper with it that refreshes the mascara :)

Oh, and probably a whole eyebrow line that is affordable but great quality and conditioning. Pencils, markers, brushes, pomades, liquids...anything really!!

Yeah, the dropper sounds awesome!!

Hmmm I would probably use natural hair brushes as I find them to be softer and better for make up application :) this is a cool thread! I'm interested to see other peoples ideas.

I would do a lipstick line with all types of new original unique colors. I would have interchangeable blush palette catered towards women of color. A fiber lash that actually looks like eyelashes

I really want these to exist now haha
I'd love to make my own version of the MUFE Flash palette, something that can be mixed together and used for anything but not so expensive. That thing costs a fortune haha

I think it would be cool to have a foundation with an adjustable finish. Like the more you buff it in the more matte it becomes and it starts out with a satin finish.
I'd really like to pioneer affordable, long wearing, eyebrow extensinsions.
A spary that gently mimics human oil to get get rid of flash back with hd silica powder.
I love thinking about new makeup products, great thread :).

Oh my...being myself, I'd probably create a makeup line that's exclusively eyeliners! Like 100 shades going through the whole rainbow, and then each of those shades is available in a matte, satin or glittery finish :) I'm an eyeliner hoarder, and I can't stand when eyeliner is hard or sharp or anything less than creamy and smooth, so I'd make sure all of my pencils have that soft, kohl like quality that's still un-smudgable once it's set :)

What colours would you focus on Mrs B?
That is a cool idea Maggie :) I never thought of that, I suppose to you could use Jojoba oil in a spray bottle, but that might ruin makeup so thats definitely something that could be invented!
I like the sound of that line Hannah, you could double them as lip liners too ^_^

Hmm... Well everything in my line would be as natural as possible and cruelty free. First, I would make a foundation/powder/concealer that's actually made for dry skin. Not just to give dry skin a glowy look. But one that doesn't cling to dry patches, or make the skin even more dry. I would have every eye shadow color there is because I love eye shadow. Highlighters, bronzers, blush and a whole line of actual contour powders. A bunch of lipsticks, lipglosses, lip stains. Mascara that doesn't clump. Oh, and everything would be at a decent price so everyone can afford to purchase it :)

I like the sound of that foundation Kaitlin!

Me too! I struggle with dry skin and it's bothersome when even the foundations that claim to be for dry skin, still make you look bad! Haha.

I have yet to find a really good pale foundation and so I'd probably make one that completely covered freckles and dark spots so that you could look like a porcelain doll. I'd probably also make a powder that completely absorbed oil. My foundations would also have sulfur in it so that it would help your face rid of acne. I'd try to not use many chemicals. My blushes would be a pink like the sunset and give off a tad of shimmer.

If I had my own makeup line , I would have sets! You know like bath and body works , they have a set with the lipgloss , soap , ect. Well that is what I want to do. I also want to have brushes thats made with Natural hair. I would have all the colors of the rainbow , I would even have lipsticks to make. I also would have bonuses ,gift cards , and coupons so you can get one of my products for just 2$! I would like lines for each season:
Christmas Theme
Halloween Theme
Thanksgiving Theme(If your confused the colors would be: Different shades of reds , browns , yellows , stuff like that)
Fourth of July Themes

A whole lot of themes for the year. I might even make a website to share some of the recipes. All the lipsticks would be smooth as butter , all the Brushes would be thick , soft , and silky. Ahh man I can just imagine.

Even have organic recipes for oily , flakey , dry , itchy skin types.

Caitriona H.

Yeah I have dry skin too and some foundations can just make your skin look so crusty and extra dry.
@Kara, nice! I love the sulfur idea :)
The themes are nice Ciera, I'd love to see what you'd come up with for hanukkah

@Kara L try Sheseido brand for pale Foundation there's a Japanese company they have been on the market for over a hundred years and they really focus on pale skin since that's a Beauty obsession over there.

@Caitriona H. As far as the lipsticks and liners I love bright bull crazy colors like navy blues, money greens, black, burnt orange, lilac and teal. With lots of orange, coral, berry, wine and plum blushes

I would have eyeshadow palettes that are super creamy and blendable but last all day without fall out! A mascara that lengthens, volumises and makes your lashes look bold and eyeliners from black to all different versatile colours that don't smudge, stay on all day and are high in pigment!  :)

Cruelty free and vegan! A foundation that would be acne fighting while you wear it, and comes in shades ranging from the most pale of people to the darkest of people. I LOVE liquid lipsticks so I would have a range of colours in a liquid lipstick rather than traditional lipstick.

God, I have a wish list, mostly things I wish I could find for myself! A primer that neutralizes redness and eliminates dry patches. A pasty white cream foundation with a NEUTRAL undertone (not cool ugh why is everything pale always pink??) that can be sheered down or full coverage. Some kind of filler for the deep hollows under my eyes. A concealer that covers blurple circles and won't crease or settle into lines. Eyeshadows that change colors with temperature fluctuations (like mood eyeshadow). An eyelash curler that will get rid of the cowlick in my eyelashes (I have a natural sharp upward bend in my outer top lashes on one eye, like they were crimped with a curler). Hypoallergenic liquid latex (don't know if that's even possible but I want it to be). Finally, a moisturizer like Embryolisse that doesn't cost $23. ;)
