Your skin tone/coloring: Pale and cool-toned
Last foundation you wore? I honestly don’t think I’ve ever worn it. My skin is too oily for most formulations, and I can’t wear face products with dimethicone.
Last skincare product you finished? I just finished up a Derma E moisturizer. I’m a day or two away from finishing my Burt’s Bees oil cleanser. I already have my next new bottle standing by!
Last eyeliner you sharpened? Rimmel’s nude waterline pencil. Not sure how I feel about it. Gonna try the NYX wonder pencil soon.
Your skin tone/coloring: Light with yellow and green tones
Last foundation you wore? I’m eschewing the single foundation in favour of one of my mad scientist blends. My current fav is one splooge (a very technical and exacting measurement) of NARS tm in Alaska with one drop of Cover FX in G30, and one drop of GA Maestro glow foundation in shade #4. GA Maestro is initially an almost perfect skin match, but then lightens on the face so the G30 offsets this (I’m between G20 and G30) and also provides better coverage than just NARS tm coverage alone without adding any additional weightiness. I totally love this mix.
Last skincare product you finished? Zo Medical Brightenex (my retinol complex)
Last eyeliner you sharpened? Just yesterday UD LSD. I love the sparkle in this blue pencil… it is better than the blue MJ’s imo.
Your skin tone/coloring: Light-medium with yellow and olive undertones.
Last foundation you wore? Laura Mercier’s Candleglow Foundation in Dusk. Love this stuff for my dry skin. Lightweight and light coverage.
Last skincare product you finished? SK-II Facial Treatment Essence. Hurt so much to get a new bottle but my skin loves this stuff.
Last eyeliner you sharpened? I refuse to! All my eyeliners are the retractable kind haha.
Your skin tone/coloring: light medium, neutral to warm undertones
Last foundation you wore? Probably Rainforest of the Sea when I was trying it out. I wear Maybelline Dream Matte Powder dc’d) daily but I don’t think it’s considered a foundation

Last eyeliner you sharpened? Sephora eyeliner in Tiramisu!
Skintone/Coloring: Fairly light, very neutral; dark-featured.
Foundation: L’Oreal True Match Lumi in W1-2; not a “true match”, but the closest in the range… I really love the formula, and wish we had C1-2 in the US.
Skincare: Alaffia Everyday Coconut Face Wash (last night, but I have a backup!).
Eyeliner: I honestly can’t recall… I so rarely use a pencil liner, and when I do, it’s usually the mechanical sort. I typically only use pencil on the waterline, and wooden shavings make me nervous. Plus, I don’t find them as “creamy”.
Your skin tone/coloring: Very fair with neutral undertones; magenta hair; hazel/green eyes.
Last foundation you wore? Too Faced Cocoa Powder Foundation in Fair.

Skintone – Fairly fair with pinky undertones (Think MAC NW 15-18)
Last foundation I wore – Kryolan Dermacolor (Shade: DW3 — it’s a shade too dark for me, but I use highlight to balance)
Last Skincare product I finished – CeraVe baby moisturizing lotion. It’s not too thick but it’s not runny at all. I love it because it’s got lots of good stuff, no fragrance, and mixes well with other add-ins!
Last Eyeliner I sharpened – OCC Tarred. I’m about to run out of this one!
Your skintone/ coloring: Medium w/ olive undertones MAC NC37-40, deep brunette, teal-green eyes w/ gold flecks.

Skin Tone/Coloring: Very Fair/Pink Undertones CdP I10
Last Foundation Worn: Finishing up Armani Maestro in #2
Last Skincare Finished: Probably a tie between Sunday Riley Luna and Dr. Dennis Gross Extra Strength Alpha Beta Hydroxy pads. I go through a box every two months since I use it nightly.
Last Eyeliner Sharpened: That’s probably going to have to be Armani waterproof liner in black in my effort to finish it up. I have a love/hate relationship with it. Looks fabulous but smudges on me. I tend to use eye liner pens and gel pot liners more often as they stay put.

Last eyeliner you sharpened? I can barely remember. Probably my mini Kevyn Aucoin The Eye Pencil Primatif in Basic Black. I like to use eyeliner samples for tightlining as they’re a bit easier for me to control, so they get sharpened more often.

Last foundation you wore? Mary Kay CC cream
Last skincare product you finished? Albertini pumpkin face mask.
Last eyeliner you sharpened? Sephora Diving in Malaysia.
Your skin tone/coloring: NW13
Last foundation you wore? MAC Pro longwear foundation. Mixed with a tiny bit of The Body Shop’s Lightening Drops because the weather is getting better and, for me, that somehow also means that my foundation is more likely to oxidize throughout the day.

NW 20-25
Foundation: using up some last MACs and very interested in reading what others post since I’m on a new foundation hunt.
Last skincare product I finished: Indeed Labs Eyesilix which is the only eye cream I’ve ever found that doesn’t migrate and irritate my eyes.
Eyeliner I sharpened: having discovered gel pot liners this year – love them – I have dozens of pencils but haven’t used them in months. Coincidentally, I reached for Mac Mystery today (which I’ve never liked) and used it on lower waterlin with a dark blue gel liner on upper lids. And I was surprised how much I liked it.
Your skin tone/coloring: Fairest neutral. Approx. NW05.
Last foundation you wore? Make Up For Ever Mat Velvet + Foundation in #15 Alabaster. Love this foundation, great colour and great formula for my combination skin.
Last skincare product you finished? Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Oil-Free Gel-Cream. This is a great light moisturiser but it wasn’t ideal for me over the winter as I could have done with something a tad more moisturizing. I may repurchase though as the weather is getting warmer and my skin more oily.

Last skincare product you finished: A sample size of the Glamglow Gravitymud firming treatment
Last eyeliner you sharpened: Kat Von D Autograph eyeliner pencil– they don’t even sell it anymore but the one I have, which was a travel size to begin with, is lasting me forever.
Your skin tone/coloring: NARS Sheer Glow in Gobi, NC 15 (I’m really pale)
Last foundation you wore? Am trying MAC Pro Longwear Nourishing Waterproof Foundation. I dunno, mixed feelings there. Full coverage, ideal shade, smooth finish (a little “rubbery” looking though, which I don’t think is bad) that makes my skin look younger, but… For the price it is sold here there is a huge choice of other brands so I want that wow factor and it’s evading me. Still, I think this is the one that I will have along with the 2 NARS ones I dearly love.
