6 Makeup Artist-Designed Cosmetic Lines Worth Buying

How do you wade through the six billion different lines of makeup sold at every department store to find the really good stuff? How do you know if you're getting quality? One simple way is to go for the face color that's made by a professional. After all, who better to create a covetable cosmetic collection than the experts who use them for a living? They know high quality, they know what works for a variety of tones and faces, and they don't put their name on anything less than what inspires them. Think of it like buying Da Vinci-designed oil paints or cans of spray paint formulated by Banksy.
