Rant & Rave: Mega Makeup Palettes

Tell us what you love and hate about...

Mega Makeup Palettes

Rave: They can offer a ton of variety in a single product, which can take the guess work out of creating looks–as long as they aren’t actually massive in width/length, they can be easy grab-and-go palettes for travel, too. Rant: They take forever to test/review/add dupes for! It also seems like larger palettes tend to have more inconsistency/under-perform compared to a more edited 12-pan palette.

What three products would you love an endless supply of?

It’d have to be skincare… whatever was the priciest in the bunch, that one! I’m not married to any specific skincare products as I still rotate through and test new products, but here are three that I’ve used and love… and that could break the bank: Farmarcy Green Clean (makeup remover,...

Spring is for Pop & Sparkle

Living largely in the world of product releases, I often forget that spring doesn't actually officially kick off until March 20th (and ends June 21st!)--plus I live in Arizona, where our winter is many regions' spring.  It's always hard to think spring when it's January 15th and feels so close to...

Have your go-to brush styles/types changed over time?

Yes, for sure! I have adapted and tweaked my technique over time, so the brushes have done so as well. Some more memorable changes are things like using smaller crease brushes for applying color directly into the crease while using more rounded (and less pointed) crease brushes in general (easier...

Best & Worst of Tom Ford Soleil Collection (Summer 2019)

Tom Ford Soleil Collection is new for summer, though long-time Tom Ford buyers will likely see a familiar theme woven through the color story--Soleil doesn't change up much.  This year's collection seemed more on the gimmicky side with the Lip Gelees, which were awful in pretty much every way, and the 24K...

How do you handle days when your makeup just isn't coming together?

If I CAN, I’d just take it all off, put on tinted moisturizer, fill in brows, and pop a layer of mascara on and call it a day. If I can’t, I just live with it looking worse for the wear. I’m just lucky that I’m inside my house most of the time so only my poor husband has to see it!
