My first eyeshadows were Maybelline, Smackers for lip stuff, Jane for foundation and mascara, and Covergirl for powder.

Everyone is mentioning Bonne Bell and Lip Smackers and I just have to laugh. I remember being in elementary school and wanting to collect all of the different Lip Smackers flavors (this was when you could get them at that store that was just like Icing, I think it was called Alternatives, or something,). I guess I thought there was actually a difference between Chocolate Milk and Ginger Bread,

I think my very very first "makeup" brand was lip smackers! They had those fun glittery yummy smelling lip balms. And glitter gels to that I'd slather on my arms and sometimes near my eyes/cheeks! Then I think it was that NYC roller lipgloss! Those smelled yummy. Makes me wanna go get some lol. My mom would also give me her lancome GWP samples that she didn't want. When I was in middle school I wore eyeliner and that was Lancome because my mom wore Lancome. I just had basic everyday same stuff makeup and I didn't get into serious makeup addiction until I found Urban Decay! Then I ventured off into other brands in Sephora from time to time but mostly just Urban Decay. It wasn't until recently did I really get into MAC, when the MAC store opened. It was then could I get the pallets. I vowed to stay loyal to MAC ever since since I got mad because I kept buying dupes in MAC that I had of another brand. If I stay with one brand, I'll remember what I already have. And since MAC has so many colours and is always coming out with new collections, it was a no brainier that that's the brand to stick with. Also i love their lipglasses and lipsticks, it's the only brand I'll use! I never really liked lipgloss and lipstick until I met MAC!!

I loved the big Lip Smackers!
Y'all are too young to even remember this stuff, but I'd had a Corn Silk liquid foundation that was great, loved the smell & the application of it...hasn't been made in ages I don't think. Then I had a Pond's blusher compact that had peach on one side & a highlighter powder on the other, a dual pan, and it was my favorite. I had some Maybelline, CG, Avon...didn't care for the eyeshadows but always tried them.
Then in later high school years, at a few boutiques, I found Mary Quant. I got several of her blushes, lipsticks, pot rouge stuff, and my favorite cologne, Havoc. LOVED that stuff...I hope somewhere I still have some of those cute mod containers! I also had Yardley of London lipsticks, one frosty pink flavored like bubble gum was one of them, and some Yardley e/s with my favorite just a basic brown matte that was awesome. Of course there were pans of Revlon e/s, the Revlon foundation that was popular back then, an Avon "face beamer" stuff I always used, then found my Bonne Bell tube of bronze gel that just added sheer color...I think they still make it. Oh the memories!!!

My first ever eye shadow was an electric blue Fetish one. My mom was so mad that I was so young (12 or so) and wanted such crazy makeup. Well, I haven't changed much! Only got worse actually....

I started with Clinique when I was 14- I was hooked by Almost lipstick in Black honey and the gift with purchase that came with the $16.50 purchase.. the price has sense gone up obviously. But I started with Stay Amber matte foundation, the 3 step skin program in III and Black Honey almost lipstick- its still a favorite of mine!

I used to steal my mom's Avon and lip smackers (she likes the lip balms haha), then I started getting into Maybeline, Covergirl, Bonnebell, Revlon and Jane products. Still use most of those brands today

That actually made me LOL. I used to apply layers of the stuff so I could lick it off. But I never actually took bites of the sticks, though I know some people who did

Haha, I found a thing of unopened Corn Silk foundation in my grandmother's cosmetics... I wonder how long THAT's been around.
Mine was like this crazy cherry red lipstick that my mother bought me when I was like 10 at the drug store because it was really cheap... Awful. I also had brown maybelline mascara and some random no name liquid eyeshadows that were purple and pink when I was like 11. My first foundation was MaxFactor.
