Top 5 Make-up brands?

[heavenlydemonik]

Ok so other than MAC what are your next top 5 favorite make-up brands? I love MAC but I kind of want to try some other things and I just want others opinions on what's good?

I love various products from many brands they all have their HG and not so good products..
nar's eye shadows, blushes (orgasm, laguna, albatross), and their new sheer glow foundation.
Bobby brown's gel liners, shimmerbricks, and bronzers
MUFE's & Chanel foundations
Illamasqua makes really vibrant and pigmented products i love it!
Stila's eye kajal pencils
Urban decay eyeshadows
Costal scents sell palletes with a 100+ eyeshadow colors in it, its cheap and the quality is pretty good.
If your looking for cheap brushes check out sigma brushes

Makeup Forever from foundation, shadows, to lip liner the brand is incredible. Chanel has great glosses and blushes. Urban Decay has great eyeliners and funky eye shadows. Dior has very nice glosses as well. I also recommend Bobbi Brown's new coral collection. Very beautiful.

[thezander]

Mac, Urban Decay, Tarte (you can get amazing deals sometimes on Tarte's website, FYI), Nars, Too Faced

 

[Nastka]

For me it is:

1. Nars (duo eyeshadows and blushes)
2. Giorgio Armani Cosmetics (Face Fabric and Sheer Blushes)
3. Urban Decay (eyeliners and eyeshadows)

Uhm... And that's it, really. I haven't tried enough stuff from different brands to make any further judgements. I'd rather sort everything according to product type:

Foundation : GA Face Fabric #8, Revlon Colorstay MMU Powder in Fair
Concealer: Laura Mercier's Undercover in S-1
Blush: GA Sheer Blush #10 and #12, Nars Orgasm
Eyeliner: UD 24/7 pencil liners and M.A.C Fluidline
Eyeshadows: Stila, Urban Decay and NARS
Mascara: Elizabeth Arden, Kanebo, and Lancome
Highlighter: Stila Kitten and NARS Albatross

I do lots of research before I buy High-End makeup, and try to get the best of the best regardless of brand. But I do admit that I have a crush on NARS and Illamasqua, but I haven't gotten anything yet from the latter.
