I don't have much makeup, nor I wear it much. I put on makeup only if I am going to concert or something like that. Other occasion is having photos taken, because without mascara, my eyelashes tend to "merge".
If I put makeup, then it's usually some powder, mascara, eye shadow and lipstick/lipgloss. I put my makeup accent on my eyes, so I sometimes make them rather "outstanding" with eyeliner, but that's rare, like really rare.
But in day to day life... I don't use makeup. Don't feel like I need it.

Buying wise, I don't have anything of the bring brands, and I think they don't really matter, except for your own asurement. I have some relatively cheap mascara that works better than maybeline one I got on make up sale.
I look for what I need and then get it. Right now, I am only missing some purple eye shadows, otherwise I am fine with what I have.
