I am not a makeup snob. I love drugstore & high end makeup. I wouldnt be able to stick to one or the other. Although i admit if i HAD to choose between the two, i would most definitely go for the high end brands.

I am a totally makeup snob but I have to admit that lately I am starting to branch out to some drug store stuff. As long as the quality is good I don't really care where it comes from. I will always be a MAC girl though!

But like others have said, you get what you pay for. I'd rather spend 25 dollars on something I know I'll love than 5 dollars on something I'm not too crazy about. It's about quality. But I'll admit, I do get a little snoby when I'm at a bathroom, touching up my MAC l/s and getting the looks from girls using cheaper brands like wet n Wild or NYC. But that's just me being a bitch.

No I'm not a makeup snob. As long as the quality is there, I'm not opposed to using "drug store" brands. The majority of my MU is Mac, Nars, Stila and Smashbox which isn't high, high end, I don't own much Channel or any Cle de Peau but I would like to check out Cle though...
But I really enjoy Revlon and Annabelle (Canadian brand). I also would like to try brands like Ben Nye which kinda fits slightly higher in price than drug store.

I try not to be, but I like and use my high end makeup. I love MUFE, NARS and Stila.

I voted no. I love higher end brands, but I won't shy away from drugstores either. I find both types of mascara work just as well for me, and a lot of the times I prefer drugstore mascara like L'Oreal, Maybelline, etc. Also, if I need a really funky color I will probably only use once or twice (like baby blue with pounds of silver glitter) I'd rather spend $3 on a cheap little palette that only has to last one night than $16 on a pot that will just collect dust!

i wouldn't say i'm a snob though i have so much make-up at this point if i buy anything it better be special! i do not mind drugstore stuff but if i buy something from there, it is usually NYX, Milani or Revoln Colorstay foundation (i love that stuff!) sometimes i buy cheap mascara, it depends (i've been pretty broke lately but do not need anything so it's cool)

Yes and no for me... I own more MAC that anything, but I also have a lot of NYX mixed in there with some Elf and drugstore stuff.
I wear mostly MAC, but I like variety. I'm an equal opportunity makeup whore... If it's makeup, I'll try it. And that right there explains my bin of things I tried a few times. That's the makeup my nieces get to play with lol

I've become a bit of a snob... I hardly own any drugstore items. I'd say 98% of my stash is high-end. I started out with drugstore makeup, but as I branched out into higher-end makeup, I could see the difference. And now when I buy things, I think I could spend $14+ for an eyeshadow I know I'll love, or I could spend $5 on something that's hit or miss. Not a hard call for me.
The only drugstore item I use religiously is mascara. I'm yet to find a HE mascara that I like better than my beloved CG Lash Blast.

I am a makeup snob, definitely. How could it be different when you're living in Paris and when you're surrounded by YSL, Guerlain, Chanel, Dior ... boutiques? Impossible for me to check drugstore brands, IMPOSSIBLE!

I am not a makeup snob. I like NYX, Everyday Minerals, Rimmel and so much more...lol. I think MAC is great and I am loving Laura Mercier. I am willing to try anything regardless of brand. Now I do like packaging that is pretty. Pretty packaging wins me over everytime.

I'm not. I do buy not-so-cheap makeup though, just because it's usually better quality. Drugstore lipglosses and eyeshadows tend to be too sheer for my liking, and the colour range isn't as wide. I'm not ashamed of taking out my el cheapo Maybelline blush and lipgloss either. In fact, I have some makeup that's for 'everyday' and some for 'special occasions' - like my Bobbi Brown foundation's for 'special occasions' like family holidays and going out to a fancy place, and I use a cheaper Bourjois foundation for normal everyday life.

I'm not so much a makeup snob, I go for what has better pigmentation, staying power, quality... whether it be high end or drug store. Typically, it's higher end. But I do so love when I find drugstore makeup that isn't so pricey and excellent quality.

I think I qualify as a makeup snob, because I buy *only* MAC, Stila and Urban Decay.
A significant contributing factor is that soo many of the drugstore brands (Maybelline, L'Oreal, Max Factor) are made by companies that test on animals.
And I just plain like my MAC, Stila and Urban Decay products; they perform so beautifully!
When I was younger, I did buy drugstore products, and never had NEAR as much fun with them as I do now with my higher end goodies!
