So did any of these winners surprise you? I can say I was surprised about the best mascara. Have you tried any of these products? Do you concur with them being chosen as the best?

I do have to say that I’m surprised that LM received best concealer. I’ve found that if more than one layer is needed (which, lets face it, is nearly always) then this concealer gets cakey very quickly. I’m also suprised that they specified a color for the loose powder!
Christine, I was also surprised that specific colors were winners. Maybe they just happen to be the most neutral shade for all skintones, therefore more people buy it?
I’m surprised about that mascara too. I mean, I know a lot of people love it but there are definately better mascaras out there for the same price.
This is the third time I have heard about Georgio Armani foundation. I know they have a foundation brush that is shaped like a fan so that you can brush your make up on in circles. I heard this was the best way to apply makeup.
I also have to agree with them on the eyeliner. It’s my favorite!
