What’s your favorite type of color cosmetic to apply? Lipstick? Eyeshadow? Blush?
It’s between eyeliner and lipstick – eyeliner, because it’s such an easy way to add color to a look, and lipstick can dramatically change the attitude of a look!

Eyeshadow and Blush
Lipstick, for the same reason..it can easily change up my look. (And I have a huge love for lipstick!)
Eyeliner!! I love how a single line (or two) can change a whole look. I also love eyeshadow, but I don’t seem to ever pat enough color…
Blush and lipstick. 🙂
Blush!!
All the coloured lip products – lip sticks, tars, stains, glosses, you name it. A bold lip is all I need to perk me up. =)
Eyeshadow. Always and forever, eyeshadow.
Eyeshadow. I love to create different looks with different colors. It’s like painting…on my face!
It’s a toss up between blush and lipstick. I just feel loads better after I apply either! They make so much difference in how healthy and put-together I look. I also love playing with colors (esp. so with lipstick!) so it’s an aspect of my routine I really look forward to. Eyeshadow makes me giddy when I do it right, but it’s usually too much work for me.
Normally I’d say eyeshadow, because that offers the most creative potential, but I’ve been so busy lately that I’m actually going with blush- it still has a novelty factor because I’ve only been using it for a relatively short time, and it tends to bring a look together and make me look ‘done’.
Before I would have said lipcolor, but now I also really like blush.
I love lip stains and balm sticks! They feel so light on my lips and look subtle. They are usually my only makeup for school.
Definitely lip color! If I have to choose to wear just one type of make-up product for the rest of my life, I’d definitely choose a lip color of some sort, most likely a lipstick/balm/stain hybrid. 😉
Oh, lipstick without a doubt. The whole experience is so tactile and soothing to me, somehow. I love lipstick so much, and the process of applying it, that I don’t mind if I have to touch a lipstick up several times a day 😛 Sometimes I’ll even touch up when I don’t really need it, just because I love it, hehe.
Blush. No doubt.
Eye shadow I find it fun until I overapply lol.
For me it’s definitely lipstick. With eyeshadow you really have to take the time to make everything look okay and lipstick is so quick and easy. I usually wear a winged eyeliner, some mascara and a bright lipstick and everything looks nice.
Blush is quick and easy, and so is gloss! But I do love my eyeshadows… 🙂 Takes more time, effort and precision, but that’s part of the fun.
Lipstick. Eyeliner is a really close second. Both are great ways to add a pop of color effortlessly
I love putting on lipstick! There’s something really glamorous of taking my lipstick out of my bag and applying it.
I’m so the opposite. I hate applying eyeliner and lipstick because they are fiddly to do with precision and as you get older a less than perfect canvas makes it a little more challenging. I enjoy applying base products: foundation, contour, highlight. I enjoy these because you can physically see a ‘canvas’ taking shape.
I would say eye-shadow because I feel like eye-shadow is your signature when it comes to makeup And when its colorful/bold or even neutral you flaunt the fun side of your personality and it can make a big difference in your look
I agree! Wish eye shadow I think I can express myself the most.
Lipstick and blush.
Mine has got to be lipstick. The vast array of colors, shades and finishes blows my mind away. Just applying lipstick gives me a makeup orgasm.
i suppose blush for a light pop of color and a tinted lip balm
Eyeshadow, I also really love liquid liner on my upper lash line.
A year ago I would have said eyeshadow, but now I’m all about the lips!
Definitely blush! Since I’m so fair, it really makes a huge difference when I apply a bit of color on my cheeks!
It’s a 3way tie btwn es/ blush and lipstick lolol. I just can’t pick one.
Any Lip product… gloss, lipstick, stain!
So simple but can change an entire look!
I love eyeshadow but tend to stick to more neutral tones. For colour it’s got to be lipstick! I recently discovered I am a huge bold lip fan. Who knew?!
For me, it’s eyeshadow, no question. I just LOVE eyeshadow!
Blush! It is a quick way to add color and brighten my face, and it lasts all day on me without touch ups!
Eyeshadow. I have large eyes and have always enjoyed doing something dramatic with them. Must have at least a ton of mascara on them, too.
Lipstick!!!
Eyeliner for sure, as it defines the shape of my eyes, and I agree about lipstick changing the attitude of a look. I’ve been taking pictures of my looks each day, just so I have a reference on what looks good or not… red or bright lipsticks sure do give me a brighter cheerful look than paler lipsticks. If I want to minimise, an eyeliner and a tomato red lipstick are all I need:)
Its a given that I must wear blush in order to look less corpse-like but my favourite type of colour cosmetic to apply would be lipstick i guess. I find I can get away with wearing less eyeshadow these days ( or maybe I can’t and I’m deluding myself and just being lazy!) and make do with liquid eyeliner with a cats eye look instead – this would be my 2nd favourite colour cosmetic to apply.
It used to be eyeshadow, but these days it has been eyeliner. We will see when my Urban Decay Electric palette gets here.
Lipstick. Most days, I don’t wear any makeup except for a bit of color on my lips, and that definitely makes me look more awake and alive (but then, I do have “dead lips” if I don’t put on a lipstick).
I subscribe to Goss Makeup Chanel, and he taught me how to put a dark gray matte eyeshadow on the sponge tip of an eyelash curler, and it lines the eyes perfectly, and curls your lashes! It is undetectable, which is important for male eye make up!
Lipstick all the way!
No way to answer this!
It’s like asking which of your children you love more????
I agree with you for me it is between eyeliner and lipstick. When I get the liner perfect I am so happy. The eyes are just so important but the right lipstick as you say just makes the look
Lipstick ecause it adds the most important color to my face since I have nice full lips. Eyeshadow is a close second because it really enhances the color and shale of my eyes.
blush and lippies! 😀
I love working with color: eyeshadow and lipstick are my favorite to play with and apply.
However, my favorite to apply would have to be my base foundation. When I sit down in front of the mirror, it is so nice to see the red and other imperfections vanish!
I agree with eyeliner and lipstick because they can make your face pop with just a simple change. 🙂
