Which makeup is the best from the follow trademarks: clinique, lancome, estee Lauder, clarins, Dior?

I have tried them all, and most of their products, being the make-up obsessive that I am!


They all have their good points and bad points. For packaging, It has to be Dior. They often have the most stylish looking products, and work brilliantly too.


I love lancome for their maquicomplet concealer (THE BEST) and of course, the good 'ol juicy tubes!


Estee Lauder has gone down a bit in my estimation. I think they have started to target middle aged women mainly. Although they do some brilliant eyeshadows.


Clarins has just done the opposite, and become cool to younger people again. They've really made efforts to ';funk-up'; their packaging. And it does work!


Clinique has always been a bit bland in my opinion. They do brill cosmetics for people with sensitive skin though, and their face creams are brilliant.


Aren't you forgetting Benefit though?? My absolute fave, by a long shot. All their products work really well. Some a little TOO well. Lol. And their packaging is simply divine. really retro and cool.


There are a few other great premium brands that you also haven't mentioned.


So If I had to list all the top makeup brands in order of preference, it would go as follows;





1-Benefit


2-Dior


3-Lancome


4-chanel


5-Yves Saint Laurent


6-Stila


7-Clarins


8-Estee Lauder


9-Clinique


10-Mac





they are all great though. I would recommend you take a look at the Sephora website http://www.sephora.com/


They sell almost every brand, and give descriptions on every item. Also, tell you what's hot, How to apply, and even give video demonstrations. What's more, you can BUY the stuff! lol

estee Lauder deff.








clinique is ok though
Dior, smashbox, tarte, makeup forever.
As a cosmetology school grad and make-up artist/ skin care specialist with 20 years experience who has worked for many of those brands, I would say it depends on which product you want to compare and what your definition of ';best'; is.





Every line of cosmetics usually has one product they make that is head and shoulders above the rest and the rest is all pretty comparable. Some have better packaging, some last longer wear-wise and some physically last longer, some are a better value, etc.





Estee Lauder is (I believe) still the number one company and they have loads of $$$ to do the research and marketing (great company to work for, they also own the large majority of dept. store brands like Bobbi Brown, Stila, MAC, Clinique, Prescriptives and more) Clinique has some products that are OK , but I would NEVER use their skin care (okay, I worked across from their counter for YEARS and if you compare the skin of most of their customers to the Lauder customers....no comparison).





I currently work at home with Arbonne. I find their products to be very comparable in quality to Estee and the other top Dept. Store brands and in my opinion they are the BEST because the ingredients are more natural (no fragrance, no harsh chemicals, no mineral oil, no animal products) and the $$$ that is made goes to the consultants instead of the models, photographers, marketing dept. and so on.
