The A to Z Guide to Coral Blush -- Peachy-Coral to Coral-Red!

The A to Z Guide to Coral Blush -- Peachy-Coral to Coral-Red!

If I had a weakness in cheek color, it would be coral.  Whether it's a lighter coral with lots of shimmer or intense coral that borders on copper, I have a weakness for all of them.

Are there any areas of your collection you’re trying to minimize? Which ones?

All and none, LOL! I keep a lot less than I ever did in the past, and I’m trying to stay that course. It’s become more and more unnecessary to keep past products (better, more consistent photography on my end but less mega-hits that need to be kept to compare in the future).

What inspired your last makeup look?

What inspired your last makeup look?

I decided to pull out Pat McGrath’s Subliminal Mothership, which is my least “favorite,” in the sense that I just never think about it, to pair with the Decadence palette. As soon as I remembered all the taupe shades in Subliminal, I wanted to do something a bit cooler-toned.
