1. Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation - It is rare for me not to have this on my face. I feel so much more confident with my rosacea hidden. They have a mineral version that I'd like to try but I doubt I'll get enough coverage with it.
2. Esteee Lauder Lucidity Powder - EL recently discontinued the powder I used but I've substituted this and I like it. It has this really pleasant smell that makes me happy when I put it on.
3. Mascara - My eyes are fairly sensitive so when I find a mascara that doesn't irritate them, I stick with it. Right now I'm using Maybelline Define-A-Lash. (Love the green container, too!)
4. Eyelash curler - Let's not forget this! Very important tool for me.
5. Tweezers - Speaking of tools, I have to have my slant tip tweezers. And a mirror. And some bright sunlight. :)
6. Brushes - I use my makeup brushes all the time and they're very helpful.
7. Lipstick - My favorite color is Bobbi Brown Blue Raspberry but I usually buy drugstore versions of a similar color.
8. Lip Gloss - I buy this in a similar color and layer over my lipstick.
9. Moisturizer - Very important! My skin is pretty sensitive so I've switched to Cetaphil.
10. Makeup removers - I really like the Estee Lauder products but I usually end up using baby wipes and any kind of non-oily eye makeup remover.
I could go on to talk about cleanser and shampoo and lotion and...but I'll stop. :) What are your ten favorite health and beauty products? To share, head over to Carole's blog.
cetaphil is what my derm. recommended and dove soap. mascara and lip gloss or mascaraandlipgloss as mary calls it-very important.

if i used an eyelash curler, i would probably blind myself! i, too, have rosacea, so i heart foundation. clinique also makes a great mineral powder that lessens redness.

I have a lovely make up brush from Clinique for putting on foundation but I have a terrible time getting it clean. What do you use to clean your brushes?

My secret to making my skin look less red is lipstick. I can't use foundation or I break out something awful, I can't even do sunblock...my favorite lately is Duwop's Perfect Plum mixed with a Sephora brand lip-liner. Since I wear glasses, any mascara/eyeshadow I wear is pretty lost...
I totally recognized the mascara bottle though, it's a very recognizable green.

I miss my tweezers! ...and going to check out that lipstick shade - do you have a bobbi gloss to go with it?

Your favorites are my favorites too. I have a list of them also in my wallet for "the things to buy this February lists".:)

I use cetaphil too - love their cleanser, great products!
