Your skin tone/coloring: Fairest neutral. Currently loving Lancôme Teint Miracle foundation in 005 mixed with a tiny bit of a white, cream foundation (a now discontinued one by Barry M). Usually I have to go for very long-lasting foundations but at the moment my skin needs something less drying so Teint Miracle is perfect. ?

Last lip color you wore? I’m still wearing it and it’s Tom Ford Patent Finish Lip Color in 05 Stolen Cherry. I love how glossy these are! They’re somewhere between a YSL Glossy Stain and a Too Faced Melted liquid lipstick. So good!

Last cheek product you wore? As before is still on my face and it’s Catrice Defining Blush in 040 Think Pink. I bought one in every colour because I loved now inexpensive they were and they’re actually quite nice!

Last eye palette you wore? Bare Minerals Ready Eyeshadow 8.0 in The Power Neutrals.The eyeshadow quality is lovely and they stay really well. I always wear the same colours though because the more khaki and grey colours I’m not so keen on. They are nice but I like my neutrals neutral or warm-toned!

I’m fair, cool toned. Last lip color was Lancome Amande Sucree lipstick with Nyx mauve liner. Last blush was Benefit Coralista. And last eye palette was Morphe Koffee. I highly recommend you try the Morphe shadows. Very reasonably priced, highly pigmented, blendable shadows. Love ’em.

Loved reading the previous replies! I see that Too Faced’s Chocolate Bon Bons has been mentioned a few times, makes me want it even more!

Last lip color you wore? Nars Rikugien lip pencil. It’s so wearable ?.
Last cheek product you wore? Ciaté x Olivia Palermo blush/ bronzer in Bluff Point. It’s lovely, but stronger and a bit more shimmery than it appears in the pan. Will have to use a lighter hand next time I wear it in the daytime.
Last eye palette you wore? Last time was Valentine’s weekend, I wore UD Spectrum, the bright pink and 2 purples. Been feeling too tired to bother with putting on eye makeup. It is a lovely palette tho.
