There are some make up brands out there that are definitely passable, and there are others that you just need to take notice of. We’ll go through some of the best make up brands in the business and give you a brief run down of why they may be the best brand for you.

Almay

Almay is a company that has stuck with its original vision from the 1930s. Almay continues to create and invent products that are both gentle and safe for your skin, offering several different lines of products that are up to 99.9% natural and safe for your skin. They have a full cosmetic line, including eye makeup, face make up and lipsticks, and you can find Almay makeup in almost any store across the globe. If you are a woman with sensitive skin, then Almay is certainly a brand to go for.

Bare Essentials/Bare Escentuals

Yes, this brand of make up goes by two different names (three, if you count their line of pure mineral makeup called i.d. bareMinerals!). The great thing about this makeup company is that they continually produce products that contain the most pure mineral compounds that you can find in nature. The three different types of minerals that are most commonly used in this makeup are:

Zinc Oxide: This mineral helps soothe skin and helps prevent redness. It also offers sunscreen protection that is equivalent to SPF15

Titanium Dioxide: This mineral helps form a protective barrier over your skin, which again is helpful in blocking the sun’s damaging rays and it will guard your skin against environmental pollutants

Mica: Mica is responsible for helping give you that silky, youthful appearance when using their products.

Because this type of makeup is free of fragrances and other additives, anyone with sensitive skin or looking for a more natural and healthy form of makeup will truly appreciate this brand above any other make up brands out there.

MAC Makeup

Who hasn’t heard of MAC makeup? This company started off by being a “professionals only” makeup company, and so the products were not made readily available to the product. Once a few MAC products did become available to everyone, the demand for more was so great that this brand began offering all of its products to all different types of consumers.

MAC is best known for their eye makeup products and offering the best, top of the line trendy colors. This brand is actually responsible for starting several makeup trends each and every year! They have recently also introduced a vegan-friendly makeup line, something that is almost unheard of being offered by larger cosmetic companies.

Urban Decay

This makeup brand is perhaps one of the “youngest”, being born in 1996 after a woman could not find the color nail polish she wanted. So what did she do? She made her own purple nail polish! Since then, creator Sandy Lerner has created several lines of different Urban Decay products that offer different and alternative colors and shades. This makeup brand is perhaps one of the most unique of them all, and the names of their products certainly reflect their uniqueness (who else would name a shade of their make up “oil slick”?). Keep an eye on what this continually growing and changing cosmetic brand has to offer!
