Eyeshadow Primer

I think it’s well-worth using for someone who routinely wears eyeshadow, even if one can find formulas that are longer-wearing. I like more translucent, silicone-like primers that help smooth out the lid and improve adhesion, grip, and longevity but aren’t tacky or thick. I find the latter difficult to apply and blend out over.

How useful are brands' promotional swatches to you?

A lot of them are heavily edited that they’ve lost meaning; when they look nearly digitally stamped on or exactly the same across three skin tones, they aren’t very useful. I like when they are well-done but still have a foot, or at least a toe, in reality.

Have you ever finished a pre-made makeup palette? What palette?

I don’t think I’ve even come close. I’m not sure that I’ve come close to seeing a visible dip in even one shade!

Best of Chanel Spring 2020 Colour Collection

Here's your recap of all of the Chanel Spring 2020 Colour Collection reviews!  Despite its powderiness, I really enjoyed Eclat du Desert once applied--it just sits so well on my skin.  I hope to see Chanel create more shimmery shades like the fourth shade in Warm Memories; it was slightly different...
