Blush Palettes

I think that they rarely suit a wide variety of skin tones, so I wish when brands did one, they’d consider at least releasing two, if not three, varieties.  Whether they split it up by skin tone (light, medium, dark) or by undertone (cool and warm), it would go a long way. Most blush palettes feel like a variety of pinks and corals that run warmer.

What type of lighting do you use for makeup application?

In my new place, I replaced the recessed light bulbs with daylight bulbs, so it is a whiter light (it was quite yellow before, like 2600K). The room gets some natural light, and I use a simplehuman magnifying mirror, which also gives off what’s supposed to be daylight, so I wanted to get fairly...
