What blush color have you always wanted but haven't been able to find?

I can get the effect by layering, but I’d love to see a rosy mauve with a hint of warm, brown in it paired with a luminous finish–pearly and definitely a little shiny but not metallic or glittery.

What eyeshadow color have you always wanted but haven't been able to find?

I don’t think there’s a particular color that comes to mind that I feel like my collection is really lacking… but I would LOVE to see more satin and pearl finish eyeshadows. I feel like it’s metallic or matte but so hard to find a good variety of colors in true satin and pearl finishes!

What lipstick color have you always wanted but haven't been able to find?

One of my all-time favorite lipstick shades is Guerlain’s Gems, which has been unavailable for quite sometime. I’ve found similar shades, but nothing quite in the same vein (the Rouge G finish has been hard to find in another formula, IMO). I’d love to see a medium to medium-dark coral that...

While trying to fall asleep a few days ago, I was struck by an idea of how I’d want to see a brand roll out their eyeshadow range. I’d love to start with a set of shades like this:

Tell us what you love and hate about...

Powder Bronzer

I don’t use bronzer that often in my “normal” routine, other than when I’m testing it. I’m not opposed to it, but I just don’t find myself reaching for it much myself! If I do, it’s usually as a cheek color!
