What is your go to make up brand?
Is there a goto way to get your colors, short of going to get a makeover? I don't have the option of going to get color matched at this time

I don't have a particular brand. I go with what I find available.

For experimenting, you don't need to spend a lot of money on top-name products. I would buy from the Dollar Store. It's cheap enough that I could buy a variety of colors and experiment with different looks. Once I figured out my color scheme, I would look at the better quality products.

I found that I don't need a bunch of different things. I have a few colors that I like, and I stick to them as my "signature" colors. Nail polish, lipstick, eyeliner. Occasionally, I will use eyeshadow, but not often. I am still looking for a mascara that doesn't clump, flake off, and irritate my eyes. I have tried all different kinds, even brands recommended by my doctors. Still no luck, so I skip it most of the time.

Personally, I've used E.L.F. products and had good luck with them. Reasonably priced, and pretty quick delivery when I order off the website. The big chain stores have it on the shelf, If you're up to shopping in person.
