Do you share your makeup with others? Why/why not?
.
I only share certain pieces -- some are personal items, so I don't, but others are kept sanitary so they can be used on others.

.

shu uemura's Primitribe Collection is a good mix of neutrals and color. I absolutely adored the Painting Liner, which was creamy, incredibly pigmented, and easy to work with. The Primal Color Sticks were interesting, but without testing them at-home, I can't tell you if they actually last at all. ...
