Well known brands that you’ve never been interested in trying?

Glossier. I actually love the sorts of products they put out, but I don't see anything from their entire product lineup that can't be duped by drugstore makeup, Asian beauty brands, or average-pigmented makeup applied with a light hand. I don't like the idea of paying that much for what's basically pigmented vaseline just to feel like I'm a glossier girl. Also I have no proof of this, but I suspect their skin tint is deliberately so small and unpigmented that it's designed to be repurchased WAY more often than the average complexion product.

Tarte. I don't usually let packaging decide my purchases, but Tarte makeup is so unremarkable that I can find alternatives (product shades, not necessarily formula dupes) for most of their products but from brands with nicer packaging.

Stila. I think the liquid shadows are mostly what they're known for. But, at least for now, it's not difficult to find nice liquid shadows for way cheaper.
