I thought it would be fun to see what everyones favorites are? The things you can't do without.
I use a good mix:
Bare Minerals Foundation (which I LOVE LOVE LOVE)
Lip fusion glosses
Freeze 24/7 glosses
and the ever changing eyeshadow (obsession)
-Urban Decay has some great colors, I bought a compact with 9 colors, but now I need to re-buy some individual colors that I went through very quickly
-Chanel - is my new love, I got a 2 color compact for Christmas and I want one of the neutral metallic quads
-MAC - I own about as much as the store, its sad
-Aura Science - some brand Victorias Secret had but I think they went out of business
ULTA and Sephora are my worst enemies and they're opening an ULTA literally 3 minutes from my house, I can control myself in department stores because they sometimes have a limited amount of what I consider "necessities" but the big makeup stores are the death of me, I walk in and usually leave broke, with more additions to my already too large makeup collection, and their deals on fragrances don't help either, I no have too many fragrances that they all do not fit on my perfume tray anymore.

I love Bare Minerals, too...I switched over recently and love their powders...
Bare Minerals Foundation/Mineral Veil for matte face
La Prairie Skin Caviar Foundation/Concealer for dewy face
Nars for cheeks, eyes and lips
Bliss for lipbalm
Napoleon foundation, powder and eyeshadow - its an aussie brand but i think its also in the US now?... although dior's foundation are good too... i love dior eyeliner and mascara... and chanel lipsticks.. and the lancome juicy fruits!
I think I said this in another thread, but JFR makeup is the best for my complexion! No one else has Ginger mascara! And I do like Bare Minerals foundation because it looks so natural and goes on light.

I don't really use foundation since I never saw a need for it. I still have some Bare Essentials left but I really didn't like it and didn't even see much of a difference compared to my tinted moisturizer. I'm VERY picky with my bronzers because most are too pink - Hoola is my holy grail (re-ordering as we speak). I haven't ever really dabbled into the Highlighter or Blush area but I'm tempted to as of late.

I used to wear Bare Minerals but my face started breaking out so much. So I'm back to basically wearing nothing. I have Mac and Bobbi Brown for a night on the town, and a Clinique base. As for perfume, Chanel 5.
I dont wear too much make up so i dont spend a lot of money on it. Maybe 14 dlls on an estee lauder lip gloss but when it cames to other things I go for neutrogena, keeps my face super clean and NEVER gets pimples. I do spend a little more on chanel and OPI nail polishes tho :P
