    urban decay! especially if she's fun and funky. and its exclusive too. def top of the line. Other wise i wouldnt spring for Chanel, and probably not for Dior either, Shiseido is a good expensive but worth it brand. So is make, but Urban Decay is more exclusive.

    indexed right here are some starter necessities for those purely commencing out with makeup: a million.

    AH, make up is a really personal thing. My best advice is to get her to tell you which she prefers directly. Come on, be clever. Figure out a way to get her to tell you, like, "what is the best line of make up out there? And would you use it? oh really why? would you ever consider buying anything else, why not?" She'll love talking about what she's interested in and when she asks you why you're actually interested in finding out more about her interests, tell her you find her fascinating and anything she likes interests you, too. then follow through and buy her the make up she really likes!

    I am asian as well, and generally MAC supposed to be the 'best'. Although, it is also the most expensive. Ask her girl friends to see what she uses and what she enjoys. Most girls have a brand they like to stick to!

    you pretty much it the ball on the head with the right brands. go to mac.com or sephora.com and you can see items.

    for a beginner makeup artist i would suggest buying brushes (eye shadow brushes, lip brushes, blush brushes) first, you don't want to buy a colour that ends up being wrong

    Bobbi Brown is a really good makeup brand. They have really pretty colors and shades. It's a little more expensive but worth it.

    Ok, if she's a girl, (not a woman) like 15 or lower aged, go to limitedtoo.com and get one of their makeup kits. If she's 16 or older, I suggest Bare Minerals or Tresseme. I will try to keep up on the latest, but good makeups for you, if you'd like. If you would like to comment back to me, email me at khephrao@sbcglobal.net
