Among my research after hearing that M.A.C. is ghastly for your skin (from former employees! & makeup artists)
"I am a makeup artist and HATE MAC. My clients have bad reactions b/c they use talc and cornstarch in their makeup. I thought MAC's was like tar on the lips."
I stumbled across these articles:
Top 13 Worst Foundations

I'm not surprised that these made the list. I hate to sound like a prestige brand snob but most of these are sold in your local drugstore. Sometimes it's worth paying more money to have a better product. For those of you drugstore princesses, let this be a word of friendly advice for you. Rommel, CoverGirl & Physician's Formula may not be your best bet when it come to foundation. They were all on the list more than once!
Top 7 Worst Powders

Laura Mercier made the list not once but twice! That's the last thing I expected to see. A lot if people referred to is as over-priced.
