Are there any places you won’t wear makeup?

Are there any places you won’t wear makeup?

I prefer not to wear makeup if I’m going to be outside for a prolonged period of time (hiking, going to the zoo, beach, etc.) or a place where there’s a lot of water and I’ll get wet from it (pool, beach).

Rant & Rave: Cream Highlighters

Rant & Rave: Cream Highlighters

Tell us what you love and hate about...

Cream Highlighters

They are usually too subtle for my personal preference, but I like how easy they blend out, and they very rarely emphasize pores/skin texture, so they are nice for those who find powder to be too prone to doing those things. I like them mostly for layering with powder highlighters, though.

Are there any types of products you used to use all the time but rarely use now?

Are there any types of products you used to use all the time but rarely use now?

I used to use tinted moisturizer a lot, and now I tend to wear medium coverage most of the time. I didn’t use to have such an aggressive testing schedule, so I think that is part of it (medium coverage photographs better in my experience–it is, at least, more reliable!).

What types of products would you buy fewer of if you started your collection over?

What types of products would you buy fewer of if you started your collection over?

Foundation, mascara, and bronzer. I’d rather just have a few foundations I love than a lot of opened ones in general (I’d just be better about returning shades/formulas that didn’t work for my skin tone/type). I’d also just buy less mascara, use some up, then replace (either with the same...

What beauty brand or retailer has provided the worst customer service?

What beauty brand or retailer has provided the worst customer service?

Ulta’s reps are patient on the phone, but their solutions are just dismal – if a product is broken, I have to send it back before getting a refund (no other retailer/brand has made me do this). Neiman Marcus overnighted a Louboutin polish trio ($90 or something like that) after my order arrived...
