1. Clairol Natural Instincts Brass-Free For Brunettes, $8.99 at Walgreens.com
For dark-haired girls who don't like red hues coming through, I use Clairol Natural Instincts Brass-Free For Brunettes. It lasts about 28 days, but only costs $9.00.
2. Edward Bess Makeup
I'm really into Edward Bess Makeup. I recently was in a hurry, as usual, and popped into Neiman Marcus where I had my makeup put on by the salesperson at the Edward Bess counter. I bought everything she put on me. The two eye shadow palettes (Ultra-Luminous Eye Shadow, $30, NeimanMarcus.com) they sell are pretty much all you ever need. Great compact base as well (Sheer Satin Compact Cream, $60, NeimanMarcus.com).
