I'm a teacher who basically took the summer off of makeup, but I'm about to do my annual drugstore haul before school's back in session. I wear makeup on school days, but I don't spend a lot on it. I used to be a VERY light powder, blush, mascara girl, but I'm learning to wear more color on my eyes, regularly use liner, etc. I don't have favorites and tend not to be brand loyal. I would love your thoughts about the bests in each of these categories.
