What was your first eyeshadow palette?

What was your first eyeshadow palette?

This question was asked years ago, and my answer then was a MAC holiday palette, but I had no idea which one… and I still have no idea. My guess would be circa MAC Holiday 2005.

Rant & Rave: Anastasia

Rant & Rave: Anastasia

Tell us what you love and hate about...

Anastasia

I really enjoy the majority of their eyeshadow singles, and I like a lot of the palettes they’ve released over the years, but they can be a bit hit or miss sometimes. I was not thrilled with how the brand/Norvina (daughter of Anastasia and president of the brand) reacted/what they said/how they handled the Subculture debacle, though. That incident really changed my perception of the brand (and not for the better). I love their lip glosses and powder highlighters, but I’m more lukewarm over the rest of their range.

How has your makeup application evolved over time?

How has your makeup application evolved over time?

I think my ability to combine color has gotten worse over the years because I wear so much that clashes on a daily basis that my “eye” feels weaker for all of it now. I think my blending has improved, and I’m better at incorporating a mix of finishes into a look. I am better at applying base...

What's your makeup routine when you travel by plane?

What's your makeup routine when you travel by plane?

It’s all over the map! I usually wear a tinted moisturizer, do a more natural brow, and a coat or two of mascara with balm or gloss on my lips. If I need to have more makeup when I land, then I’ll wear a whole lot more but I prefer to wear less while traveling.

What makes an expensive product worth the money to you?

What makes an expensive product worth the money to you?

It has to deliver superior performance across the board, be easy to work with, and have functional packaging (if it’s aesthetically pleasing to me, even better, but I’m primarily focused on quality). I should have no complaints about it, though I’m nitpicky and can usually find a “con”...

What are your go-to fragrances for summer?

What are your go-to fragrances for summer?

I don’t know that I have a go-to, but presently, I’ve been wearing Tom Ford Fougere d’Argent (which is not a “summer” scent really) since I first tried it. Otherwise, I do reach for Tom Ford Neroli Portofino or the Neroli Portofino Intense.
