Your skin tone/coloring: Fair, cool-toned
Favorite sparkly eye product? Oh gosh – ALL of them? I’m sure as soon as I pick one and hit “Post comment”, I’ll do a head-slap and say “but how could I forget….?”. I’m going to go with an old Too Faced shadow (sadly discontinued now) called Glamazon. I also like the left side of Nars Kauai, MAC Sea Worship and Grand Entrance (LE from ages ago) and Stila Wheat. I’d love UD Maui Wowie if it didn’t sprinkle down glitter all the live-long day; I even bought the NEW, “improved” formula and it has the same problem
Favorite glossy lip color? Chanel Pirate
Favorite luminous cheek color? Hmmm…maybe MAC Sweet Sentiment or (also from long ago and discontinued), Too Faced La Vie en Rose (can I also mention MAC MSF in Petticoat and Dior Rose Diamond – both discontinued…not strictly blushes but certainly “cheek colours”)
Fair with warm undertones (NC 10-15), green/gold/brown/hazel eyes, light golden blonde hair.
Fave sparkly eye product- Not much of a sparkly eye person, I use L’Oreal Infallible shadow in Iced Latte almost every day though.
Fave Glossy lip- IT Cosmetics Vitality Lip Flush, Je ne sais quoi
Fave Luminous Cheek color – Milani Dolce Pink
Your skin tone/coloring: fair/light with pink undertones
Favorite sparkly eye product? Charlotte Tilbury glitter shades in her quads
Favorite glossy lip color? Buxom Full On Lip Cream
Favorite luminous cheek color? MAC Mineralize Blush or Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush
Coloring: fair/cool MAC NW10-13
Sparkly eye: L’oreal infallible eye shadows. Inexpensive, but wear really well with little or no fallout! I especially love Liquid Diamond!
Glossy lip color: well, my lips are super dry and flaky, so matte color doesn’t work at all for me. So any lip color I wear is gonna be glossy! I’m currently going through a berry phase, topping MAC Capricious or L’oreal Blushing Berry with a Buxom or Milani gloss.
Luminous cheek? Currently loving Becca beach soufflé in Lychee Opal! I wish they had more cooler toned colors, because the formula is so lovely, but that’s the only one that worked on me.

Fav Sparkly Eyes: Urban Decay. Yeah, all of them. I may be the only person in the world who doesn’t have major fallout problems with their super-sparkle glitter shadows. I also really love MUFE shadows! Yeah, all of them!
Glossy Lip: I hate, no, detest, lip gloss. I don’t like a matte lip though. My favorite for a lip that pops are the now discontinued Urban Decay super-saturated lip crayons. Especially in Big Bang. Second favorite are the Too Faced Melted Metals lip products.
Cheeks: I love sparkle on my eyes and lips, I don’t love it on my face (good thing I suppose!). I do like the Hourglass blushes for adding luminosity without sparkle. I also really like a lot of the Tarte blushes.

Favorite sparkly eye product? I don’t really have any sparkly eye products, except for a few eyeliners but I rarely wear those. I do love some shimmer on the eye though! I’ve been wearing NARS Alhambra duo almost daily since I bought it about a month ago, but I think the winner for most worn shimmery eyeshadow of 2015 on me is Makeup Geek Cosmopolitan. The color just flatters me so well and the sheen of it is really refined. I wore it almost daily through the spring and summer.
Favorite glossy lip color? I’m more of a matte lipstick gal, but I have been really liking Bite Beauty Luminous lipstick in Pepper for an everyday lip color. I also feel like the NYX Butter Glosses are great “lip glosses for people who don’t like lip gloss.”
Favorite luminous cheek color? Ugh, all of them?!? I think NARS Madly is my favorite blush of all time though, and that has a lovely subtle sheen. I could go on for days about all my favorite luminous blushes!
Your skin tone/coloring: Normally Porcelain, but sporting several shades darker tan at the moment.
Favorite sparkly eye product? Inglot AMC pigment #50
Favorite glossy lip color? Nars lipgloss in Orgasm
Favorite luminous cheek color? Nars Orgasm multiple stick
Skin tone- according to Sepora, I’m 2Y 06 but not sure what it means or translates to the MAC complexion color.
Sparkly eye color would be a darker gold to copper.
Lip color- no loyalty. Mood is the driving force.
Cheek color- I love too many to name. Depends on the rest of the colors.
Such hard questions that appear easy.
