Would you say you're a makeup snob?

Like you wouldn't let anything less than Mac touch your skin? Won't use drug store brands because they're cheap and might be harmful? Think more expensive makeup automatically means better quality?

Just want to know. :) I'm like this with food and women could also be like this about makeup!

I'm a make-up snob in the sense that I'd rather not have make-up touch my face.  However, at the times when I do need to (like a wedding or any special event), I stick to what works for me. I have sensitive skin and I've tried a lot of brands that make me break out --- regardless whether it's an expensive brand or not.

Nowadays, I'm trying out organic make-up. I've tried the Maybelline line and Burt's Bees tinted lip balm, and I've also tried Human Heart Nature's make-up. I think they've still got a lot to go in terms of color and how it sticks to your skin. In the meantime, I'll stick with my current brands.

Fun topic! I am more concerned with a natural look (great coverage where I need it but not at all obvious). In that sense, I am a makeup snob because rare is the brand that achieves that goal. I have finally lighted on Bare Minerals Multi-tasking Formula which is not exactly MAC but does the trick - people always ask me if I wear makeup because they can't tell. I love it!
