What are all of your favorite high end makeup? I usually just purchase drug store makeup and I'm looking to buy some high end makeup but I don't want to pay for something expensive if I'll hate it.

For eyeshadows:
You cannot go wrong with Kat Von D, Urban Decay ( not so much the naked palettes ), Too Faced, and Stila has some nice ones. The Marc Jacobs palettes are very pretty as well, I am dying to get one or two of them.

For lippies:
All personal preference, but you cannot go wrong with OCC Lip Tars, the Stila Liquid lippies which give off the same finish as Limecrime Liquid lipsticks, BITE Beauty, Buxom and Bareminerals.

Face make up: The stila luminous bronzer in 'snow bunny' is one of my favorites, the stila illuminator is very nice to mix in with foundation, the Kat Von d setting spray (recommended by Miss Jacqueline) and the lorac eye primer as well are great. Foundation wise you have to play with and figure out which ones you like best, but I favor the Laura Mercier one at the moment..
For concealers, you cannot go wrong with Bobbi Brown, and Laura Mercier.

Urban decay naked palettes and primer, other eyeshadows by them too. Also I like too faced eye shadows and Mac blushes.

Depend on the products, I don't really depend on the brand. So I use a little bit of everything.

- Lancome is one of my favourite brand. From the mascara to the lipstick, eyeshadows, etc...you can't go wrong with them. The foundations are also great.

- Illamasqua also has great products. Very suitable for makeup artist. Especially the hydration primer.

There are much more but these are the basic ^^

I'm a MAC girl so I'm partial to their products. Mainly the Paint Pots, matte lipsticks, brushes, their Prep&Prime line for skincare, and Chromagraphic Pro line which you can only get online or at a Pro MAC store.

I love anything Make Up For Ever (MUFE)<3 My favorites of theirs are the HD Cream Blush line, love their foundation, Aqua eye liners, and they are my favorite for their artistic makeup for special effects or cosplay type supplies. Their eyeshadow quality varies.

Sugarpill eyeshadows are EVERYTHING. Wish they had more colors!

I am in love with OCC pencils and the matte lip tars.

Kat Von D. pallets are quality!

NARS has some nice cream shadows.

Urban Decay has great pallets if you like color.

The Stila Foil Finish eyeshadows are so cool! Messy, but cool.

Those are some of my suggestions.

Urban Decay and Kat Von D palettes are amazing. Urban Decay has the best eyeliners out there and the darkest!

I cannot agree with the ladies who said KVD Palettes enough, they are soooo buttery smooth, long lasting, and pigmented. LOVE! I also love Too Faced Palettes, but not as much as Kat Von D shadows. Urban Decay comes out with some exciting palettes which are nice and fun but the Naked palettes are under whelming and over priced compared to some of the other (better) neutral palettes out there. Speaking of neutral palettes, Lorac Pro Palette is of exceptional quality and gives you the option of creating many looks... and they came out with a Lorac Pro 2, which may also be something you may like.
As far as lip products go, I love me some Urban Decay and Lipstick Queen products. I am pretty happy with a lot of lower priced lip products, so I don't spend too much on higher end lipsticks other than UD and LQ.
Face products, I feel like that's a really personal preference (plus I don't like wearing face makeup) so I don't really have any recommendations, sorry =(
Anastasia Dipbrow is pretty great for eyebrows as well.

Definitely go to the store and swatch products your interested in or ask for samples! Makeup counters and cosmetic stores should be more than happy to give you samples of products, especially when you're deciding on making some pricier purchases =)
