thanks to one of my friends i've become a makeup junkie.
she spends alot of money on mac products and her makeup always looks beautiful.
i've been watching alot of youtube videos by makeupgeek and she seems to only use mac.

i was wondering what you guys use. i know that mac is awesome but are there other brands you think that are just as good? i've been using smashbox powder, foundation, and their concealer sticks, but when it comes to eyeshadow i get nervous spending $18 a piece, especially when most looks require several shades.

i went to ulta today with my friend and i couldn't bring myself to spend alot on shadow so i ended up buying the ulta store brand shadows. they seem to work great.

also, i've been tempted to buy some face primers and eyeshadow primers. do these really make that much of a difference?
