It’s my Birthday so of course I have to answer today 😛

-As always, I’m Fairest Neutral with cool eyes/hair/lips
-Last Red: Technically my last red was three reds layered together. An orangey-red MUFE liner (forget which shade number exactly but they have many beautiful reds) with Besame Cherry Red over-top and finished with a layer of Loubilaque in the classic red-bottoms shade.
-Last Purple: There’s never just one purple in my looks hehe. Yesterday I used Tom Ford’s Lavender Lust quad on my eyes, UD Rockstar liner, UD Bittersweet blush, and Pat McGraths’ Nude highlight pigment mixed with NARS Violet Atom. Oh, and the one Vamplify color I’ve had really good luck with so far (I like the blues I own, but they’re far too slippery), Sway to the Sound. That one is much thicker and stays on beautifully.
-Last Beige: I believe this would be YSL’S Beige Tribute with a bit of NARS Chelsea Girls (from the old lacquer formula, not the newer gloss iteration) on top.

Skin tone-Very fair with pinky/peach undertones.
Last red was from the Chanel fall quad and on a different day Elizabeth Arden Red Door Red lipstick.
Last purple worn was Lavender Fall by Bite and also Thistle by Bite.
Last beige was probably an all over the lid color as an eye shadow base. Beige and I don’t really get along.

Red lipstick. It was my favourite – Guerlain Rouge G in Rouge Parade. Sadly it was limited edition but Garçonne is very similar so that is technically my backup.

Last purple-hued beauty product you wore?

Purple eyeliner. Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil in Lust. I don’t have it to hand but I’m sure that’s the name!

Last beige-hued beauty product you wore?

That’s tough! Probably the beige(ish) eyeshadow from the Shiseido Luminizing Satin Eye Color Trio in BE213 Nude.
