Most importantly,proteins and lipids.

Explanation:

Cell membrane consists of roughly 60 % proteins and 40 % of lipids with really small amounts of carbohydrates.
In lipids, phospholipids and cholesterol are most common with proteins scattered in a mosaic manner. Carbohydrates mostly make conjugated molecules with proteins and lipids to give glycoproteins and glycolipids respectively.
