What's your favorite type of foundation finish?

What's your favorite type of foundation finish?

I like semi-matte to natural–not too dewy but not totally matte–as I tend to use setting and finishing powder, so that helps to take down some natural shine to a lot of liquid foundations. I find anything very matte tends to look less flattering on my skin!

How important is your foundation's longevity?

How important is your foundation's longevity?

I want at least 8-9 hours of really solid wear where only I could tell there was any change over time, and then I’d want to be able to lightly powdery or buff the foundation back into place to get another few hours of wear out of it. Anything that creases significantly, becomes patchy or uneven,...

How important is your lip color's longevity?

Again, pretending I’m a more “normal” person, I think something that lasted 3-5 hours without worry, was easy to touch-up, and was comfortable to wear would work well for me. I wouldn’t mind reapplying after lunch or dinner but wouldn’t want to have to touch-up my lip color every couple...

How important is your eyeshadow's longevity?

Pretending that I’m a normal consumer, I’d look for a minimum of eight hours of solid wear but would want closer to 10-12 hour wear without creasing. A little fading or minimal fallout doesn’t bother me, but I don’t like to see creasing or patchiness!

How important is it that a lip color be moisturizing for you?

How important is it that a lip color be moisturizing for you?

If I’m going to be wearing it multiple times a week, I want it to be a little hydrating but don’t have ultra dry lips so getting most of my added hydration in the morning/evening (with lip balm) is sufficient for me. I’d only sacrifice hydration and opt for something deliberately drying if I...
