Your skin tone/coloring: Porcelain
Eye product you’ve loved the longest? Urban Decay Roach and Mildew shadows.
Lip product you’ve loved the longest? Urban Decay Gash (the oldest version), MUFE #49 (discontinued).
Cheek product you’ve loved the longest? Benefit Rockateur or Urban Decay Rapture.
Fair/light with neutral to cool undertones.
Eye product: UD Original Primer Potion, and for color cosmetics UD 24/7 eye pencil in Demolition.
Lip product: TF Creme Lipstick in Sugar Daddy.
Cheek product: CP Super Shock Cheek in Lunch Money (TF Love Flush Blush in Baby Love is a close second).
This is reminding me to revisit some of my old favorites that I’ve neglected!
Oh! Agree on the Primer Potion – I didn’t think about that…was so focused on shadows/colours but that’s one I’ve relied on for ages as well.
Your skin tone/coloring: Medium w/ olive undertones MAC NC37, Lancôme Teint Idole 24H Foundation N360, Fenty ProFilt’r 260 or 290, deep brunette, blue-green eyes w/ gold flecks.
Eye product you’ve loved the longest? Has to be Maybelline Full & Soft Waterproof Mascara! I always seem to return to it, especially when my eyes are feeling sensitive to other formulas. The other would be Essense Midnight In Paris Gel Liner. I’ve been using pots of that ever since Ulta began to carry it! A 3rd favorite, but the most important one, would be eyeshadow PRIMER. That innovation has made it possible for for this super hooded, oily lidded lady to wear her eye looks with a measure of confidence that there won’t be creasing or movement of product.
Lip product you’ve loved the longest? MAC Prep & Prime for Lips! It let’s me get away with wearing lipsticks that would otherwise tear my lips up, plus, it smooths them out for a nice canvas to lay the lipstick on.
Cheek product you’ve loved the longest? Any really gorgeous luminous coral that veers pinkish! (Have I got something much wanted to put on tomorrow’s FFHF!)
Your skin tone/coloring: Fair with neutral undertones and freckles, medium warm brown hair, green/blue/gray eyes.
Eye product you’ve loved the longest? Colourpop Super Shock Shadow in Snakebite. They finally were selling it in a single and it was on sale, so I got a back up! And also L’oreal Voluminous Carbon Black Mascara.
Lip product you’ve loved the longest? Bite Beauty lipsticks in any form, and the Bite Beauty Agave Lip Mask. Swoon.
Cheek product you’ve loved the longest? Milani Baked Blush in Luminoso and Becca Shimmering Skin Perfecter Pressed in Moonstone.
Now that I think about it, it’s time to use all of these things in tomorrow’s make up look. 🙂
Your skin tone/coloring: Light medium yellow tones, dark hair and eyes
Eye product you’ve loved the longest? Milani eyeshadow primer or WnW Brulee eyeshadow.
Lip product you’ve loved the longest? Chanel Hydrabase lipstick in Rose Drop – discontinued, of course. I treasure mine.
Cheek product you’ve loved the longest? Sleek Sunrise or Rose Gold blush. Still fab.
Fair/warm skin tone that’s impossible to match foundation too (slightly olive but super fair)
Fave eye product – Rollerlash
Lip product – Nars Gloss Lip Pencil (Frivolous and New Lover)
Cheek product – MAC Warm Soul
Your skin tone/coloring: Fair/light with neutral undertones.
Eye product you’ve loved the longest? In general – black eyeliner. Loved it since I was 13. For a specific product, I think I have always loved Maybelline Great Lash mascara.
Lip product you’ve loved the longest? In general – red lipstick. I have always liked Maybelline & Revlon stick lipsticks since I was younger though.
Cheek product you’ve loved the longest? Maybelline New York Dream mousse blush!
Your skin tone/coloring: NC15 w/some redness
Eye product you’ve loved the longest? Mac Amber Lights
Lip product you’ve loved the longest? Chanel Rouge Coco Lipstick in Gabrielle (my sister bought it for me when I was like 16 and it’s my middle name so…)
Cheek product you’ve loved the longest? Consistently? Hourglass Mood Exposure blush.
I love MAC Amber Lights. Every time I pull it out, I’m in love with it all over again and just swoon. It’s so pretty!
Oohh good call on mood exposure. I went for old classics in my choices, but this one surely has an exalted position for me as well.
Your skin tone/coloring: Light-Medium with yellow warm undertones (NC20-25)
Eye product you’ve loved the longest? The Too Faced Shadow Insurance eye primer
Lip product you’ve loved the longest? MAC Matte lipsticks (matte, but comfortable long-wearing formula), with my staple shade being Diva (longest owned and loved)
Cheek product you’ve loved the longest? MAC Sheertones (can be applied for both natural looks and build up, very versatile), but the shade Breath of Plum in particular
Your skin tone/coloring: fair, cool
Eye product you’ve loved the longest? first would absolutely have to be UDPP and then MAC Satin Taupe and All That Glitters e/s (and Grand Entrance – an LE shade I despair of finishing)
Lip product you’ve loved the longest? MAC Craving
Cheek product you’ve loved the longest? Too Faced La Vie en Rose or MAC Her Blooming Cheek blush (I’ve loved the 2 of them equally long)
Your skin tone/coloring: Light-med, and leaning warm – Nars Custard/MAC C2/NC20-25 territory. Eyes are midway between blue and green with copper flecks. I find most nude lipsticks are too brown on me, so my “nudes” are more like UD Sheer Liar or MAC Fanfare, & I’ll wear almost any shadow colour happily, as long as it’s not too pastel or silver.
Eye product you’ve loved the longest? That’s really hard to be honest. I’ve worn Inglot shadows for nearly 7 years now and really love them. Farther back than that, though, probably MAC Paint Pots. I’ve always had some around!
Lip product you’ve loved the longest? Any potent matte red across the spectrum has my undying love.
Cheek product you’ve loved the longest? I change blush directions a LOT with the seasons – so it’s hard to say. I suppose I’ve worn Illamasqua Zygomatic for years, one of my rare blush repurchases, and MAC Melba for at least two now.
Skin tone: Very pale with cool undertones, MAC NW 5-10
Eye product loved the longest: MAC Omega shadow and Cover Girl Super Sizer in waterproof.
Lip product loved the longest: Nuxe Reve de Miel Lip Balm and Elizabeth Arden Red Door Red lipstick.
Cheek product loved the longest: Shiseido Japan Maquillage Dramatic Mood Veil Blush Palette in P200.
I know I cheated on two of the questions but couldn’t decide between the two.
Your skin tone/colouring: Porcelain, with pink undertones
Eye product you’ve loved the longest? I’ve got a few, but UD’s Naked 1 (with Half Baked, Smog, Darkhorse, Toasted and Hustle being the most used) and UD Vice 2 – with Derailed, Radar, Voodoo and Damaged.
Dior’s 3 Couleurs in Khaki has also been the most enduring olive shades out as well.
Lip product you’ve loved the longest? I have always loved the brown, coppery shades and ever since I discovered Milani’s Colour Statement lipsticks in Candied Toffee, Cinnamon Spice and Bronze beauty, I have worn them continuously and have back ups for all three.
Cheek product you’ve loved the longest? Defintely Natio’s Blush/highlighter in Sunkissed – peachy/coral gradient of shades in a mosaic pattern.
Your skin tone/coloring: medium light (sand)
Eye product you’ve loved the longest? Bobbi Brown cream color sticks (Taupe)
Lip product you’ve loved the longest? Givenchy Boyish Pink (holy grail color for me)
Cheek product you’ve loved the longest? Bobbi Brown color/highlighter duo in Desert Rose/Bare. Totally natural look, blends flawlessly.
NEW FAVE: Marc Jacobs Dew Drops….radiance in a primer so you don’t need foundation!
Wow great questions!
Your skin tone/coloring: light to medium with yellow undertones, dark brown eyes, black hair
Eye product you’ve loved the longest? Urban Decay Naked palette, CoverGirl LashBlast Volume waterproof mascara
Lip product you’ve loved the longest? Kat von D Adora lipstick
Cheek product you’ve loved the longest? Tarte Exposed blush
Your skin tone/coloring: Fair, cool-toned
Eye product you’ve loved the longest? I’ve always loved Urban Decay shadows and eye liners!
Lip product you’ve loved the longest? Korres Jasmine Lip Butter
Cheek product you’ve loved the longest? Benefit Coralista
Your skin tone/coloring: light, neutral
Eye product you’ve loved the longest? MAC Coppering, Cranberry, and Haux eyeshadows! I’ve loved them since high school, 13 or 14 years. There are some serious gems in MAC’s big ol permanent lineup. They’re so easy to overlook, between how vast the line is and how frequently hit and miss LE products are launched.
Lip product you’ve loved the longest? MAC Velvet Teddy, but Ruby Woo is pushing 10 years now! I must have been about 17 when I fell for Velvet Teddy!
Cheek product you’ve loved the longest? I’ve phased out most of my really old cheek product loves TBH. As a teen, the trend was mostly mega-shimmery in a way that isn’t in style anymore and I liked warmer colors than I do now, then in college I didn’t wear blush or highlighter. Oldest cheek/face beloved is probably Becca Pearl liquid highlighter, which is “only” like three or four years?
I love MAC Coppering. Their permanent is where it’s at for me!
Skintone / coloring : light, MAC NC 20
Eyeshadow loved the longest: Stila Kitten
Lipstick loved the longest: MAC Viva Glam V
Cheek product loved the longest: NARS Orgasm Blush
Your skin tone/coloring: Fair cool coloring, med brown hair, brow eyes
Eye product you’ve loved the longest? Avon Super Shock Eyeliners, the best pigmented eyeliners ever!
Lip product you’ve loved the longest? In love with Pat McGrath lip colors, I will not use anything else now
Cheek product you’ve loved the longest? Nars Orgasm
Pat McGrath lipsticks in both formulas have successfully launched a palace coup over the rest of my stash.
Your skin tone/coloring: warm/fair
Eye product you’ve loved the longest? Wet n Wild Comfort Zone! I hope they realized how stupid they were to reformulate the greatest shimmer formula ever made…
Lip product you’ve loved the longest? Burt’s Bees lip balm in vanilla! 😛
Cheek product you’ve loved the longest? Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush in Paaarty
My skin tone is similar to yours Christine. I’m half Malaysian and half Hungarian so I’m a light medium to medium in Summer with a yellow undertone.
I don’t wear shadow but I do love mascara. My fave right now is Benefit Roller Lash. It’s just perfect for my lashes which are quite long but it makes them longer and it doesn’t ever clump on me.
All time fave lip colour is Tarte Rainforest of the Sea Color Splash lipstick in 5 o’clock. It’s my perfect my lips but better slightly deeper nude. It’s the first lipstick I’ve ever finished and repurchased.
Cheek product would be Hoola by benefit and for highlighters: Milani, Ofra (Oh my god Ofra is just so amazing and do underrated) and I love the fenty highlighters too (the more shiny side) as well as Jouer.
Your skin tone/coloring: Fair yellow with textured acne-prone skin and rosacea
Eye product you’ve loved the longest? It’s super random and out of nowhere, but at TJ Max one time, I found a six-pan Paula Dorf baked eyeshadow palette with ivory, spring green, rose gold, sunny orange, plummy brown, and pyrite. They’re hands down some of the best shadows I’ve ever used, especially in a baked formula. They last on my eyelids for a full day with no creasing. They’re beautifully pigmented and I can use the ivory as a highlighter. I’m really and truly going to cry when I hit pan on any of them. Also a longstanding favorite: a discontinued Mary Kay at Play baked shadow trio with a name like Earthbound. It has a super glittery ivory that I can’t use for anything because of the fallout, but it has the most beautiful teal, right between blue and green, and a super rich chocolate brown. I take both (the PD palette and MKaP trio) every time I travel!
Lip product you’ve loved the longest? NYX Soft Matte Lip Creme in Cannes because wow, I genuinely forget every time that I’m wearing anything. More comfortable than my previous matte formula favorite, the regular ColourPop Lippie Stix matte formula.
Cheek product you’ve loved the longest? ColourPop Super Shock Cheek in Cruel Intentions as a tried-and-true blush that withstands literally everything, including hurricane winds, four hours of dog bathing, and food service. Essence single shadow in Apricotta is the single most beautiful highlighter I’ve ever used. No glitter, a perfect near-metallic sheen in a ballet blush color. Physicians Formula Butter Bronzer in Light Bronzer for its pigment and blendability, although I’m not sure if I’ll repurchase it due to PF’s longstanding lack of shade inclusivity in their complexion products.
Your skin tone/coloring: Lancôme Teint Idole 460 Suede W
Eye product you’ve loved the longest? No specific brand, but a good non-smearing blackest black mascara
Lip product you’ve loved the longest? Revlon lip butter I Fig Jam. It’s been discontinued but I have a few backups. Runner up- Guerlain Rouge G in Gracia
Cheek product you’ve loved the longest? Sephora’s Microsmooth blush in tangerine/orange. Runner up- NARS Taj Mahal
Your skin tone: light neutral leaning cool
Eye product: tightlining with marc jacobs fineliner ultra skinny in blaqueur. Houglass mechanical was dusted in favour of this pencil. Also love the purple shade blaquer(berry). I even have a mini version purchased big S pointe for travel. Win! And MAC typographic as my perfect matte gray eyeshadow.
Lip product: Mac lipsticks. Not my goto’s so much these days, but still have love left for the retro matte formula and Mac lipliners too.
Cheek product you’ve loved the longest? Oy tough one. Chanel joues contraste, Tom Ford original blush formula, or Giorgio Armani fluid sheers. I don’t dig into these stashes near oft enough. They are great products.
Your skin tone/coloring: fair, warm ~NC10; blue eyes, light brown hair w/copper highlights
Eye product you’ve loved the longest? UD Riff eyeshadow
Lip product you’ve loved the longest? NARS Risky Business gloss
Cheek product you’ve loved the longest? I yet haven’t found one I love since my Chanel favorite was discontinued a couple of years back
Your skin tone/coloring: Very fair with neutral undertones; magenta/red hair; hazel/green eyes.
Eye product you’ve loved the longest? Too Faced Shadow Insurance; UD Electric Palette.
Lip product you’ve loved the longest? As far as I know it’s discontinued, but Max Factor Creme Rouge #537. The best red lipstick on me ever. I bought a couple backups when they were leaving the U.S., thankfully.
Cheek product you’ve loved the longest? BareMinerals All-Over Face Color in Rose Radiance. I’ve been using it as a blush since the mid-’90s. I wore it exclusively for about 15 years, and I still wear it from time to time, especially in summer.
Your skin tone/coloring: light to medium with warm undertones, MAC NC 23ish/MAC Matchmaster 1.5/Giorgio Armani Lasting Silk UVF 5.5 and 6.5
Eye product you’ve loved the longest? MAC Extra Dimension Eyeshadow
Lip product you’ve loved the longest? NARS Audacious Lipstick in Barbara
Cheek product you’ve loved the longest? MAC Warm Soul or MAC Soft & Gentle. I would say VB x EL Modern Mercury, but Warm Soul came to me way before Modern Mercury.
Skin tone- medium neutral
Eye product I’ve loved the longest? It would have to be Lancome Mascara. I’ve used several of the Lancome formulas over the years. Enjoying Grandiose at the moment.
Lip product? I’ve been a fan of the NARS lipgloss for years, but the longest time has to go to Paula’s Choice Lip and Body Treatment Balm. I always have two going and at least two backups!
Cheek product I’ve loved the longest- I used NARS blush for years and years (Orgasm and Sin were my go-tos) , but don’t use them any longer. Now, I’m an Hourglass Blush collector since they came on the market. I can’t have enough…. oh, and Clinique Cheek Pops, too.
I’m a NC40.
Eye product you’ve loved the longest: I haven’t been into eyes that long, so I choose the ABH Mario palette.
Lip product you’ve loved the longest: Clinique’s Chubby Stick in Broadest Berry was the lip product that started my insane lipstick love.

Urban Decay pencil eyeliner in Rockstar
Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Dolce Vita
Clinique Fig Pop blush
Fair with yellow undertones(NC15)
Eye product that i’ve used long time would be Mac paint pot soft Ochre. I use it as bade for shadow or to even skin tone when I don’t wear shadow.
Lip product: Clinique black honey has been a standby ever since I ‘borrowed’ from my older sister in the ‘70’s
Cheek-probably mac Blushbaby. Easy to apply & very wearable

Sorry, trying to catch up 😉 :
Coloring: Warm neutral-yellow undertones
Eye product I’ve liked the longest: Guerlain Phenomen’Eyes in Waterproff Brown (which I’ve not been able to get for awhile, boo hoo) This was my favorite everyday mascara.

Cheek product: Versace Compact Blush (the compact alone was so special) in 81304 (a beautiful, perfect light coral). It’s my second one and I had to hunt it down years ago online to find it. So don’t hate me. 😉 Hee hee!
