What eyeshadow palette would you recommend to someone new to makeup?

What eyeshadow palette would you recommend to someone new to makeup?

Just about any palette from ColourPop–pretty good quality, easy to use, and affordable. There are so many to choose from, too–I’d say Double Entendre, Give It to Me Straight, or You Had Me at Hello would be good picks. I also enjoy several of their other palettes but find that they may be...

Rant & Rave: Tinted Moisturizer

Tell us what you love and hate about...

Tinted Moisturizer
