What’s the best makeup to wear to a pool party? Share!
I would wear sunscreen, tinted moisturizer, waterproof eyeliner and mascara, and lipgloss – just enough to look good out of the pool but not so much that I couldn’t get splashed!

How do you decide what makeup to wear each day? What’s your method?
Once I’ve photographed and swatched products, I put them in clear containers to test. So, I go to those containers and pick out what I hope will work somewhat well together or will reach for items that are more time-sensitive and need to be reviewed right away.

What are your top three tips for shopping for beauty products online? Share yours!
1.) Make sure you’re familiar with the retailer’s return policy, in case something doesn’t work out, breaks, etc. 2.) Always look for coupons – you can usually find ones for free shipping, small samples, and the like. (Consider signing up for the retailer’s newsletter if you are a frequent shopper.) 3.) Search for reviews/swatches for a product you’re unsure about to get a better feel for how it might perform or look.

Do you prefer to shop in store or online? No matter your access, what would be your preference?
I actually like shopping online quite a bit, because there’s no pressure, you can partake in sales (so few are in-store!), read reviews while you’re shopping with ease, and if you need to, return without having to deal with any sales associate.

How important is it to you that a lip product be hydrating? Does it depend on the type of lip product?
I expect that lip products shouldn’t be drying, and in a perfect world, even lip liner wouldn’t be drying. With lipsticks and glosses, I want light to moderate hydration. With a lip balm, it better be super hydrating!

Do you have a preference between powder, cream, and liquid? Does it just depend on the item? Or do you use all types of textures?
I prefer liquid foundation (maybe cream, but I don’t like powder) for sure. I would say that is the one product I have a strong preference for. I do prefer powder blushes as well – I think they last longer and better (generally).
