How many eyeshadows do you use in a week (on average)? That’s a tough one. I rarely wear the same eye look twice in a row, I cycle through A LOT of my palettes during a week and I wear eye makeup almost every day of the week, so I couldn’t possibly say a number off the top of my head.

How many blushes do you use in a week (on average)? 1 or 2. I use one blush for about a week and then switch to another the next
How many lipsticks do you use in a week (on average)? 1 or 2. I switch it up on a weekly basis like with the blush.
How many eyeshadows do you use in a week (on average)? 8. Here is where I play around. I use all of the 8 shadows I own on a weekly basis. 2-4 on average daily.

Your skin tone/coloring: Light/Medium Neutral. MAC N3, YSL Beige 30 as of current self tanning
How many blushes do you use in a week (on average)? It really depends how much time I have that week. I could use up to 7, a different one for each day, or one every single day.
How many lipsticks do you use in a week (on average)? Again, it depends. If I’m not doing anything except working, it’s one of the few in my purse. If I’m doing something where I want to wear a more “interesting” lip, then that’s another one added to the list.
How many eyeshadows do you use in a week (on average)? Oh jeez, well again at least three a day (lid, crease, highlight), so it depends on how many different looks I do that week.
Your skin tone/coloring: NW10 winter, NW/C15 summer. (I generally get away with Bobbi Brown Porcelain year round if I keep it sheer enough.)
How many blushes do you use in a week (on average)? 2-3; Bobbi Brown Nude Pink and e.l.f. Pink Passion get a lot of face time.
How many lipsticks do you use in a week (on average)? Depends on what kind of timetable I’m working with that week, but on average, I’ll go through 6-10 shades in one week. I sometimes pull 16-18 hour days, so it’s possible for me to go through two different lip colors in one day. Even on lazy days, I’ll throw on a nude lipstick or tinted balm. Lip color may or may not be my makeup weakness. :3
How many eyeshadows do you use in a week (on average)? Upwards of twenty. I work those neutral palettes to the pan. 😛 I have a few colorful singles laying around that get their use, just not quite as often as the neutrals.

Your skin tone/coloring: NC30-35 (medium with warm undertones). I’m kind of confused now, though, because I have a friend who has a much darker complexion than mine and she says she’s NC35-40, but more often NC35. I’m currently using MAC Studio Fix Powder + Foundation in NC35 (which appears to be a perfect match for my skin tone) and MAC Studio Fix Select Sheer Pressed in NC30 (which oddly appears darker than my natural skin tone). TBH, I actually thought NC35 might be too light at first (for the Studio Fix) because my last compact was NC40.. so weird. :/
How many blushes do you use in a week (on average)? Around 2-3.
How many lipsticks do you use in a week (on average)? Around 4-6.
How many eyeshadows do you use in a week (on average)? None. Not really an eyeshadow person (because I honestly don’t know how to put it on properly yet), but I’m planning to learn as soon as I find the time (I bought “learning materials” already, though.. exciting!). 😀

My skin tone – NC 20
I use about 3 blushes a week – but I try to use just one for the entire week – I have way too many blushes!
I use 1-2 lipsticks a week – I pick a combo and stick with it – plus for work I keep it basic. On the weekends I either use tinted lipbalm or bright lipstick at night.
I use untold amounts of eyeshadow – I pick and choose from palettes – but in the end I stick with the same neutral colors – so I guess I only need 1 palette!
