What research do you do before purchasing a product?
What research do you do before purchasing a product?
I’m going to generalize and just speak about products in general, since I don’t do much research before buying beauty products since I tend to buy newly released products for review! I like to look at reviews on retailer websites, often using places like Fakespot to try and see how reliable the...

What’s been your go-to base/foundation combination lately?
What’s been your go-to base/foundation combination lately?
La Mer The Soft Fluid mixed with Natasha Denona Face Glow — pretty much ultra-dewy and looks best in person (I find on camera, all that shine makes me look more textured everywhere vs. smooth like a more matte base!) and lasts a surprising amount of time.

What would your dream space be like for storing and/or applying your makeup?
What would your dream space be like for storing and/or applying your makeup?
I really enjoy what I have now, as it’s pretty vast and spacious, but in a dream world, I’d have more customized storage, probably more built ins with strategically placed areas for decor. I’d love a larger mirror with built-in lighting with a vanity that was slightly deeper with fully...

When is longevity important to you?
When is longevity important to you?
It’s important in products that are harder to re-do on the fly, like re-applying a gloss is pretty easy, but having to reapply blush or eyeshadow? No way! I want my eyeshadow/mascara/brow products and base/complexion/face products to last well for eight to nine hours and fade “nicely” from...

Tell us what you love and hate about...
Setting Sprays
I spend most of the day indoors or going from car to one air conditioned place, so I don’t find that they’re part of my daily routine. They’re useful for when I’m going to spend more time outside or if I have really, really long day elsewhere. I like when the mists are super fine, but when they aren’t fine, they can make eye makeup go quite awry!
