What makes an eyeshadow palette cohesive to you?

What makes an eyeshadow palette cohesive to you?

Does a brand or product having a charitable component make you more or less likely to purchase?

Does a brand or product having a charitable component make you more or less likely to purchase?

What's your favorite social platform to follow beauty brands?

I used to love Instagram, as I enjoyed more photo-based content, but they make it so difficult to see what’s NEW by the people you follow and now it’s made worse by the domination of reel content. I enjoy TikTok but avoid beauty content on it altogether.
