NARS makes wonderful eyeshadow (though I know some people who don't like it), blush, bronzer, and pressed powder. While NARS definitely tops MAC blush, it doesn't top their eyeshadow. Also, NARS brushes are fabulous (the Push Brush for shadow lining is so good). Chanel makes nice lipgloss and it's as good as MAC if not better. Lancome mascara beats MAC's by a mile and is better than most mascaras I have tried. I like Clinique's eyeliner for brown and khaki shades, it goes on easily and doesn't smudge. Smashbox, Becca, Dior, and Guerlain also make high quality products.

I can recommend shades if you want.
