Here is what I use daily and how I use it:

1. Undercover under my eyes. I get a little of each color on my middle finger and dab it under my eye. It also acts as a concealer you can use all over your face. LOVE this stuff.

2. Eye Basics on my eyelid as an eye foundation or primer before I put on my eye shadow. This stuff is wonderful. It keeps my eye shadow on ALL DAY and it prevents my eye shadow from creasing or running.

3. All of her Eye Shadows, matte and shimmer alike, are wonderful. And they last FOREVER! I have several different colors of the eye shadow and I've never run out of any of them.

4. I'm not gonna lie...I use El Cheapo Eye Liner and Mascera. My favorite eyeliner is Revlon Colorstay Eyeliner. This stuff is waterproof and it lasts all day and even throughout the night. LOVE it! My favorite mascera is Loreal Panoramic Curl. The main reason I like this mascera is because it is the best one at separating that I've ever tried...and I've tried a lot of them!

5. Sometimes I wear foundation and sometimes I do not. If I DO wear foundation, then I use Oil-Free Foundation Primer. They also have it in Original or Hydrating. Then I use Oil-Free Foundation. The I use Translucent Loose Setting Powder on top of my foundation to seal it all in.

6. If I do not use foundation one day, then I use the Translucent Loose Setting Powder first then use Foundation Powder on top of that.

7. Then, after I use either the foundation or foundation powder, I use blush. Her blush is great, and like all her other products, it lasts FOREVER!

8. All of her lipsticks and lipglosses are fabulous, also. The Lip Glace is my favorite lip gloss because you can use it by itself or on top of lipstick and it stays on ALL DAY LONG! I have a bunch of the colors.

So, that is pretty much it. Here is the main website if you wanna take a look at all her stuff.

It is a little pricey, but I'm telling you, it really does last forever and ever. I've been using this makeup for 8 years now and I rarely have to purchase refills....maybe once a year, if that.

If you want to just start out with something to build upon, I would start with the Eye Basics, Undercover, Foundation Primer, Foundation, and Foundation Powder. Those products are fabulous and those are the reason my face looks so flawless. You can start with those products and then just use el-cheapo everything else until you can afford to add on to your collection.

If you try it, LET ME KNOW how you like it!!!!!!!! My mother and grandmother both use this makeup, too.


Rebecca thanks for giving such a great testimonal for the makeup . I will definetly try them. Right now I am interested in the concelaor for under the eyes, what shade do you use? I am thinking of buying the med. shade, I see there are two in the compact are they both for undereyes? Rebecca your beautiful whether you wear el cheapo make up or not... Thanks!
