I am makeup lover and collector. I mostly use my makeup as a form of self-expression and I rarely wear it on a daily basis. But, I do enjoy transforming into my 'alter ego', that's why I love applying it. I find makeup application to be very theraputic and a self-esteem booster. Many women are intimidated when it comes to applying it and do not know what brands to try if they are beginning to try makeup as part of their beauty routine. I would like to recommend a few of the brands that I have used on myself which are widely recognized by certified makeup artists that are affordable and can give you good results.

My favorite and number one makeup brand that I love and I would recommend to anyone is BH cosmetics.BH Cosmetics is an American makeup brand based in California. It is only available online at bhcosmetics.com. It is a professional makeup brand meaning that its products are catered to different publics such as makeup artists, makeup newbies, bridal makeup artists, et cetera.In the category of a professional makeup brand, BH Cosmetics offers almost the lowest prices on makeup in comparison with other brands that offer the same amount of product. BH Cosmetics is a complete makeup brand that offers eye makeup such as eyeshadows, eyeliners, and pigments; facial products such as a foundation, face powders, blushes, highlighters, etc and tools of the trade such as brushes, train cases for storing makeup, makeup organizers for displaying your makeup at home/work. BH Cosmetics is a cruelty-free brand that does not test on animals and it is hypo-allergenic. BH Cosmetics has weekly sales on their website as well as daily deals in which you can get about 5 products for the price of 2 or 3. Also, BH Cosmetics offers free cash back on purchases if you own an account with Ebates. Ebates is a rebate company website that allows you to get a certain percentage of cash back on your online purchases. (I will leave an Ebates invite at the end of this article as well as links to these different makeup brands).

A few of my favorite products from BH Cosmetics are the 120 first edition palette, Take me to Brazil palette and the Foil 1 and 2 eyeshadow palettes. Each of these palettes retail for under 17 dollars a piece. Making the price of each individual eyeshadows as low as five cents per shadow. I also love BH Cosmetics brushes which are sold individually or in a set. These are very easy to handle, and the bristles are very soft making makeup application a breeze. They come in different colors, and types. My favorite brush sets from BH Cosmetics are the Sculpt and Blend editions 1,2,3. As per individual brushes, my two most favorites are the all-over-face brush and the foundation brush. Here are a few pictures:

BH cosmetics also have a wide variety of foundations. BH cosmetics foundations come in 18 different shades ranging from the lightest nude to the deepest espresso shades. Many women of colors are delighted with BH cosmetics foundations since many brands do not cater towards darker skinned women. Same way around with women with very fair skin. BH cosmetics foundations can retail as low as four dollars per bottle and come in different types of formulations such as powder, liquid, and cream.

BH Cosmetics also has a vast variety of blushes, highlighters, lipsticks, lipglosses, and eyeliners. Many of these products just like foundations come in a different variety of colors, formulations, and in individual or palette forms. Eyeliners come in pots in a form of gel liners, or in a tube as a liquid eyeliner. BH cosmetics eyeliners are hypoallergenic and can be worn by women who wear contact lenses.

I think BH cosmetics is one of the best makeup brands there is due to the high quality, variety, and affordable pricing. Also, BH cosmetics have weekly sales giving you the chance to catch a product of your liking for a lower price. Also since it is affiliated with Ebates.com, you can save even more money on your online purchases. Ebates.com will give a small percentage of cash back (from 5 percent to 10 percent) from whatever amount you paid for products at BH cosmetics. I would recommend anyone sign up for the BH cosmetics newsletter that will alert you of weekly sales and new releases. I can guarantee you that you will fall in love with this brand just like I did.
