M.A.C.
The hands-down favorite with the teen to 20s crowd. This is Estee Lauder's urban-trendy brand. |

Clinique
Before acquiring M.A.C., Clinique was Estee Lauder's original "starter" brand for make-up. It doesn't come close to having the buzz that M.A.C. has, but is considered to be a more traditional and classic choice. Known for its lemon-yellow "Dramatically Different" moisturizer. |
