My Top 3 High End Beauty Brands

narsjouerchanel

I wish I can say all brands are my favorite but realistically I chose these three brands because where one might be lacking the other compensates for it. Certain items from these brands have become essentials and some even HG!

Jouer Cosmetics – This is such a chic and effortless brand. I’m obsessed with the quality of everything down to the interlocking packaging. I have yet to try something from them and be disappointed. This brand is perfect for the everyday natural girl who wants something light and fresh. Must haves : Jouer Luminizing Tint, Jouer Eyeshadow Stick in Baroque, Jouer Bronzer in Sunswept, Jouer Eyeshadow in Chocolat.

Nars Cosmetics – Oh that matte black packaging (drools*). Nars to me have outstanding base products. They have an array of lip colors to choose from and some of the most vibrant ones I’ve seen! They also do palettes every now and again which makes them great to travel with because the packaging is so thin and sleek. Must Haves : Nars Pro-Prime Eyeshadow Primer, Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer, Nars Satin Lip Pencil in Biscayne Park, Nars Yachiyo Brush.

Chanel Cosmetics – The most indulging of them all! Their foundations and powders are something out of this world. Now Chanel adds fragrance to their products but luckily my skin doesn’t react to it. I also think they do nice lip products in a ton of finishes and can become an addictive spending habit. Must Haves : Chanel Les Bieges Powder, Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in Evasion, Chanel Eyeshadow Duo in Sable Emouvant, Chanel VitaLumiere Aqua Foundation.

    Chanel lip products are my fave! I have way more than I’m willing to admit :)

    My favourite high-end brand has GOT to be Nars, without a doubt. Their products are consistently great and their new product releases always get me excited! I wish I could appreciate Chanel products more than I currently do, but because I have an allergy to perfume and fragrance, I cannot wear most of their products :(

    I completely adore Jouer and Nars packaging! But while I do not have any products from the earlier, Nars eyeliners are awesome! (:

    Chanel was amongst my first high-end purchases when I first got into the whole makeup scene, and my eyes will always light up when I see their counters. I’ve recently been buying quite a few Nars items, and they’re stunning! Jouer is a brand I’ve been reading a lot about for the past few years, but it’s not available here in NZ and I’d like to at least swatch first.

    For me, my top 3 high-end brands would probably be Lancome for foundation and mascara, Nars for eye and cheek, and YSL for lips and nails. If I had the money it would probably be Ellis Faas and Hourglass all the way!

    I was planning on investing in some high end products soon.. Thanks for the recommendations!

    I haven’t tried anything by Jouer or Chanel before but NARS is definitely a favourite of mine. Urban Decay and MAC are also brands that I like although if I am completely honest, I am not always a fan of their packaging. I know, it sounds pretty shallow but bulky packaging is just not my thing! xx

    I haven’t tried anything by Jouer but I really, really need to. The bronzer that gets raved about looks gorgeous, and I love their packaging!

    I love this post. My top 3 brands would include Nars (number one!!) and Chanel, so I guess I’d better check out Jouer! The problem is availability: I cannot test anything in real life and it’s not as if there are a horde of swatches online, which makes it very difficult. What is your Luminizing Moisture Tint shade?
    So out of the brands I actually own, I would say Nars, Chanel and Hourglass/Guerlain/Laura Mercier…..whoops!!

  • Divya

    All of your Jouer recommendations are on my wishlist! 😀 I love Nars and Chanel they are definitely my top two besides I love things from Guerlain on the high end and Bourjois on the lower end!

    I’m thinking about going to London just to get that NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer 😀 Im always on the hunt for the perfect concealer and I read and heard such good things about the NARS one… I hate the fact, that they don’t sell NARS products here in Germany! Oh boy 😀

    I completely agree – esp. with regards to Nars and Chanel – you can’t really go wrong! xxx

  • Pauline

    Definitely need to get my hands on more Nars products, I only own the Nars Bourdin Palette and the Radiant Concealer from them! Unfortunately the concealer can only be used in the Winter for me, it is too creamy otherwise! Too bad that there isn’t a Jouer counter nearby, or else I would be picking up more products on them!

    I am obsessed with Nars products and Chanel isn’t far behind. I haven’t tried much from Jouer but I might have to after reading this.
