Do you need your eyeshadow palettes to be cohesive?

Do you need your eyeshadow palettes to be cohesive?

If it’s going to be over 10 shades, it should be somewhat cohesive. I don’t necessarily need it to have the perfect brow bone or transition shade (because I feel those are very skin tone dependent and including a beige highlighter often makes it a less useful shade to many skin tones!), but I...

Do you find cheek palettes useful?

Do you find cheek palettes useful?

I like duos and trios but more than that is where shades become less functional/useful generally… that being said, I wear a lot of colors/undertones myself (by choice), and a lot of the larger palettes are trying to appeal to “most,” which ends up being a light-to-medium skin tone usually so a...

Have you ever decluttered your collection? How did it go?

Oh, definitely! I do this regularly and continuously to some extent. As I receive press samples, I set aside products for donation that I don’t expect to cover (from products that aren’t a good to fit ones I can’t use to products I already have). After I’ve tested and reviewed products, I...

What are your tips and tricks on purchasing beauty products online that you'll love?

What are your tips and tricks on purchasing beauty products online that you'll love?

One of the keys is to cut through the marketing hype, whether what’s been creating on social media or whatever spiel the brand has along the product on the website. I like to read reviews wherever I can find them, and I look for longer reviews; I like to read a mixture of lower-rated reviews...

What are your tips & tricks for achieving the "no makeup" makeup look?

What are your tips & tricks for achieving the "no makeup" makeup look?

I like to use fingertip and sponges for more diffused application while sticking with natural finishes–like a satin blush, luminous base, and so forth. This helps to retain the “skin” like finish that naturally occurs for me while giving me some coverage and color. For me, I have to do almost...

Holiday Eyeshadow Palettes

In general, as long as products released are of quality, I don’t really mind if there are lots of them… but sometimes, holiday offerings can be inconsistent with permanent or previous offerings, and this can make it more challenging to weed through the misses! A lot of the holiday palettes released look the same after a few years, so in many ways, I think a lot of the holiday releases are for new-to-beauty people and to give as gifts but less so for the more seasoned folks!
