In their annual search for the best makeup products, Allure
magazine asked readers to chime in on their absolute,
all-time favorite products. Readers got to hand out awards
in two categories per product: one for discount/drugstore
bargains and one for slightly more expensive fare found in
department/makeup specialty stores.

Here's how the top honors stacked up for 2010's best makeup
artist products!

Lips: A "muted mauve" took home the top prize for
discount/drugstore find. The shade has light-reflecting
particles that make lips look just a bit glowy in any light.
As for a slightly more upscale lip look, a neutral pink won
both for its complexion-friendly color and its worthiness as
a feel-good buy. All sales of this lipstick benefit the M.A.C
Aids Fund. In gloss looks, a "sophisticated berry" by L'Oreal
and a soft pink version of the specialty/department store
lipstick winner earned the top honors.

Blush: It comes as no surprise that the ever-popular Orgasm
(don't look at us, it's really called that!) blush by Nars
once again earned the top spot for favorite blush. The
department store buy has been a consumer and makeup artist
product favorite for years thanks to it's "just back from a
run" peach-colored glow. (Yes, a run. Get your mind out of
the gutter!) As for discount store winners, a sweet pink
called Natural Rose took the award for its ability to look
great on every skin tone.

Eyes: When it comes to favorite eye looks, voters showed
their undying love for sexy going-out colors by giving the
discount store awards to a deep, sparkly black and "disco
ball" silver palette called Metallic Shadow Duo as well as a
double-ended eyeliner that featured a smudging tool built
right in. As for department store buys, an eye-illuminating
shade called Shroom (doubles as a cheekbone highlighter!)
and a self-sharpening eye pencil called Blackest Black also
got a nod.

Face: A crème foundation infused with moisturizer won
the top spot for discount store foundation while a mineral
foundation won in the department store category. For
concealer, consumers still loved their minerals for a
high-end look but gave the prize to a purse-friendly
"coverstick" perfect for on-the-go touch ups.

I hope you enjoyed this article on top 50 makeup artist
products of 2010.

Thanks for reading and have a great day.
