Blue or green shadow?: Actually, I don’t like either. I can’t pull off blue, and green makes my “hazel” eyes look muddy
Favorite Makeup Style: i LOVE bright lips, but I can’t pull it off, not even my fav.; pin up :[

Jessica Avatar

I LOVE waterproof mascara…its the only formula that keeps my lashes curled…I just hate how hard it is to get off (my solution –> Sephora Waterproof Eye makeup remover…best Ive ever tried!)
I like blue eyeshadow…but only for a pop of color in the outer corner
Natural beauty –> makeup without looking like you have makeup. Champagne and brown lids, pinky-peach blush, nude ligloss and black mascara.

Sheila Avatar

Love waterproof mascara?: Depends, some waterproof mascaras stay really put and are easy to remove with oil-based makeup removers, but other waterproof mascaras are not just waterproof, but oil-proof too so I end up having to pull and tug at my lashes… not good if you already don’t have a lot of them!
Blue or green shadow?: Blue! Love those peacock blue shadows =)
Favorite Makeup Style: Dramatic eyes (dark and seductive), and nude, plump, glossy lips.

nikki Avatar

Love waterproof mascara?: not usually
Blue or green shadow?: oooh, that’s hard…. GREEN!
Favorite Makeup Style: bright fun colors with a subtle pink nude lip.

cbh02bb Avatar

Love waterproof mascara? Uh not really unless I need for a specific reason…going to the lake (yes I wear make-up swimming)
Blue or Green shadow?: Green I have green eyes
Favorite Make-up Style: Purple/Pink/Taupe a mixture of one or the other or both, Glossy lips (pink), and flushed cheek

Stephanie Avatar

Love waterproof mascara?: not really, I used to use it but it was a pain to get off

Shopaholic Avatar

Love waterproof mascara? Just some brands.
Blue or green shadow? I love to play colors, so both of them!
Favourite make up style? I don’t sure about my favourite, sometimes smokey eyes and nude lips, sometimes bright fun looks, and sometimes sexy red lips 😉 It depends on how I feel.

Kat Avatar

Love waterproof mascara: I don’t wear a lot of mascara…but waterproof is definitely handy.

Blue or green: Green! I have brown eyes and they look so intense with green.

Favorite makeup style: Neutral with unexpected pops of color

Inky Avatar

Love waterproof mascara?: Not usually, but I have one just in case.

Blue or green shadow?: Rarely, but I do have some dusky blues and a pistachio green from Besame that I love.

Favorite Makeup Style: Definitely 40’s classic.

Jessie Avatar

Love waterproof mascara?: LOVE LOVE LOVE, I work at a pool so waterproof is great as it doesn’t cause raccoon eyes when I jump in the water to teach swimming lessons/save someone and i have really short asian lashes so waterproof holds the curl 10000000000x better than any non-waterproof mascara!

Blue or green shadow?: Both, I couldn’t choose. I love wearing blues when I’m feeling creative and want to do something dramatic but I like greens when I’m feeling like doing something a little more neutral (I pair them with browns to get a really pretty earthy look)

Favorite Makeup Style: Anything that accentuates my facial structure! I will try anything at least once!

Julie Avatar

Love waterproof mascara: not really, but always have one when needed. I prefer to coat my lashes with magicproof from HR to make them waterproof, it is much more gentle on my barely there lashes.
Blue or green: Green for sure, but I have very green eyes, so it looks funky. So I purchased brown coloered lenses, that works well.
Favorite makeup style: colorful with thick black liner.

Laura M Avatar

Love waterproof mascara?: Havent tried it in a really long time.. so i’m not sure
Blue or green shadow?: Green for sure my fav!
Favorite Makeup Style: Smokey with a bright color.

CeeBee Avatar

Love waterproof mascara?: No. I only have 1 and that’s a purple Lancome one – it goes on nicely, lasts well, but taking it off is too much hassle for me.
Blue or green shadow?: Green (though I have some rockin’ blues as well!)
Favorite Makeup Style: Elegant neutral defined eyes (taupe, gold, brown, soft pinks, etc), glowing cheeks and luscious lips.

Bunny Avatar

Love waterproof mascara?: Yes gotta have it. Never know when ull have a good cry

Blue or green shadow?: Green-loving mac bitter at the moment

Favorite Makeup Style: Colorful. Browns are so overdone!

hi Avatar

Love waterproof mascara? No, because its hard to get off my lashes (I only use cold cream to remove makeup – anything else will irritate my sensitive skin), and I can get a mascara formula just as long-lasting without the harshness and difficulty of removal.
Blue or green shadow? Blue if its either a silver-gray blue or a dark grayish blue, and green if its olive-toned (I can’t stand blue-toned or yellow greens – I have a pink skin tone so its WAY bright on me).
Favorite Makeup Style: My favorite look is smokey dark brown eyes, perfectly shaped brows, flawless skin and sheer, glossy red lips. I wear this almost everyday, but instead of red gloss I go with a creamy mid-tone warm pink for daytime. My favorite style is definitely smokey, and I HAVE to have perfect brows and my liner must always be on my lash lines. The waterline would be too harsh.

Taylor Avatar

Love waterproof mascara?: Yes…total saviour for those teary days!
Blue or green shadow?: Blue…any shade, I love it.
Favorite Makeup Style: Anything fun 🙂 (smoky or bright), and never involving browns (they just don’t suit me AT ALL)

Ashley Avatar

Love waterproof mascara?: I love waterproof mascara sometimes, depends on the situation. way to drying.
Blue or green shadow?: Green, is one of my fav. colors.
Favorite Makeup Style: neutral smokey eyes with mid tone coral or peach lips.

Marieke Avatar

Love waterproof mascara?: Don’t know, haven’t really tried one yet, I keep buying the normal formula.
Blue or green shadow?: Green!!! I love greens! It’s probably my fav colour!
Favorite Makeup Style: Smokey/ Neutrals/ Dramatic/ Colourful/ Pin-up with Pink or Nude lips and Rosy cheeks.

CiaoOo Marieke

Kathleen Avatar

Love waterproof mascara?: I NEED waterproof mascara…my watery eyes always make my mascara smudge on my lower lash line.
Blue or green shadow?: How about both, together? I can’t choose. 😀
Favorite Makeup Style: Dramatic/Goth/Super Bright/Drag Queen :D, but NEVER neutral….it washes me out.

Doreen Avatar

Its not easy being green 🙂
Well yesterday for some reason I was in a rush and I reach for this cloud white color which I placed all over my lid – It looked really pretty – I must look into this, no? 🙂

Ceci Avatar

Love waterproof mascara?: Only if it stands up to oil as well, since my skin (even around my eyes…grrr) is pretty oily
Blue or green shadow?: How about teal (blue-green)? I can’t see why I can’t have both 🙂
Favorite Makeup Style: Love, love, love pin-up style, but at times I like it tailored to make it more a little more current (for instance: instead of a red, matte mouth, I like to change it up with hot, semi-matte pink with dark gunmetal (instead of straight up black) cat eyes made w/liquid liner).

– HATE any waterproof m/u, esp. mascara!

– I prefer blue

– not 1 in particular (I do a different style & different colors every day). I guess, I tend to favour the smokey eye (in various colors).

Blue or green shadow?: I love both of em but I prefer Green as it looks better on me.

Blue or green shadow?: green! It just looks better with my yellow skin
Favorite Makeup Style: Colorful with black cat eye liner. Too bad i only have time for black eyeliner, blush, and lipgloss before i leave for school in the mornings!

Ciara Avatar

Love Waterproof Mascara? Well, infact i do. But i mostly just add one thin layer of WP to fixate the curl. (Fixate? Probably i’ve just invented a new word there, excuse me for my terrible english :p)
Green or Blue? Ehh .. Purple? I have a pale skin, with very dark brown hair and brown eyes. So both green and blue dont work for me.
Favorite Makeup Style? Smokin’ black eyes with a hint of purple and glossy, pinkish lips.
