What cosmetics brands do you recommend?

If you want the natural look, try Bare Minerals or some kind of mineral makeup. Cliche but yes-it feels like you have nothing on and looks natural. I like Clinique too. Its not harsh on the skin. My mascara of choice is Estee Lauder definicils. *Tip... go to Norstrom's if you are experimenting. lots of variety and its easier to exchange if your not happy*
