Your skin tone/coloring: Light neutral skin tone, green eyes, s&p hair.
Three products you couldn’t put down this month? Clinique Dramatically Different Lipstick in Canoodle, ColourPop Going Coconuts Palette, and Laura Mercier Matte Radiance Baked Highlighter 01 (I’m not a big highlighter person, but for some reason I was really into this product for the past few weeks).
Favorite lip product this month? Clinique Dramatically Different Lipstick in Canoodle.
Favorite eyeshadows this month? ColourPop Going Coconuts Palette and Laura Mercier Caviar Sticks in Burnished Bronze and Au Naturel.
Your skin tone/coloring: Under my name (blue-green eyes).
Three products you couldn’t put down this month? MAC Ruby Woo lipstick, PML OpuLUST Gloss in Dreamscape (I love it over Nars Sheena and MAC Baroque The Internet lipsticks!) and Luxetrance Lipstick in Strangé.
Favorite lip product this month? Probably my 2 new PML OpuLUST Glosses in Glowing Garnet and Dreamscape. Also always looking for an excuse to rock Ruby Woo recently.
Favorite eyeshadows this month? Lots of my older MAC Pro Pan singles and EDES’s like; Bamboo, Folie, Brown Script, Woodwinked, Gold Bit, Arena, Twinks, and Sweet Heat, along with revisiting my ABH Modern Renaissance Palette, too. These all fit with the red lips I’ve been sporting a lot lately!
I don’t get nearly enough use out of my collection of red lipsticks. It just seems like too much for the office. And then, when we go out on the weekends and I feel like wearing red, I almost always wind up using the same one: Chanel Pirate. I recently got Ruby Woo in the Lunar New Year packaging (which looked a lot better online than in person), but I can’t bring myself to do red lips in the daytime. Nancy, have you been wearing your red lipsticks as an everyday shade?
Seraphine -Not quite as an everyday thing, but more like a whenever the mood hits me sort of thing, I guess? Lately, I’ve just been feeling it! And I almost never wear red clothing, so this is usually when I’m wearing black.
Your skin tone/coloring: light, MAC NC 15-20
Three products you couldn’t put down this month? Tom Ford Wicked, Armani Black Escasty Mascara & NARS Kalahari Eyeshadow Duo
Favorite lip product this month? Kiehls Lip Salve
Favorite eyeshadows this month? NARS Kalahari and Surabaya Eyeshadow Duos. ABH Jackie Aina palette
Your skin tone/coloring: Light-medium with warm yellow undertones, dark brown hair and eyes
Three products you couldn’t put down this month? Paula’s Choice Smoothing Primer with SPF, MAC Pro Longwear Concealer and MAC Veluxe Brow Liner
Favorite lip product this month? MAC Photo, and it’s not actually the color (although I love the unique grey chocolate shade), it’s one of the most comfortable MAC Mattes I have worn… hope it’s a formula improvement, not just this specific color.
Favorite eyeshadows this month? I’ve recently added MAC Brun and Brown Script to my custom made palette, and I found myself using them often this month. I knew I would love the cool tones of Brun, but I’m surprised how well a warm shade like Brown Script works for me.
?Your skin tone/coloring: Light neutral leaning cool, slight olive
?Three products you couldn’t put down this month?
1. Sydney Grace Enduring Love palette
2. Sonia G Sky set for eyes
3. Tatcha The Serum Stick for my flaky nose and dry under eye area
?Favorite lip product this month? ? Bite Power Move creamy matte pencils and PMG Opulust glosses.
?Favorite eyeshadows this month? I’ve raved PMG Star Wars, ND Biba and Safari enough so this month my two favourite shadows are from Sydney Grace Enduring Love (light). I wear these two together all the time in a simple colourful smoky eye: Elizabeth around the eye and Darcy in the crease..any of the neutrals in the same palette work perfectly as a transition for this look depending on whether you are going warm or cool with the rest of your look. Juliette or Romeo at browbone depending on whether you want matte or shimmer. I apply Elizabeth wet on the mobile lid for greater impact and smoke it into crease dry, undereye dry as well.
If I want a deeper eye for evening for same look, I just add Boaz to outer vee and 1/3 line lower lash line and push brush into top lashes.
Your skin tone/coloring: Under my name; magenta/red hair; hazel/green eyes.
Three products you couldn’t put down this month? ColourPop Butter Me Up Palette, Huda Beauty Nude Obsessions Palette in Light, and Too Faced Gingerbread Palette

Your skin tone/coloring: fair, warm-neutral, low-contrast (green eyes, light hair)
Three products you couldn’t put down this month? ND highlighter, Maybelline Volum’ Express mascara, and any lip balm I can get my hands on — my lips have been insanely dry all of February, even though it doesn’t seem drier than other months. Maybe just cumulative winter misery!
Favorite lip product this month? Bobbi Brown crushed liquid lip in Give a Fig — it pulls quite bright and pink on me, but not overwhelmingly so! And it’s nicely hydrating if I’ve forgotten lip balm.
Favorite eyeshadows this month? Telepathic Taupe from PMG Platinum Bronze MTHRSHP — an easy one-and-done.
Oh jeez, it is nearly the end of the month, huh? It usually doesn’t creep up on me, but February has flown!
Your skin tone/coloring: Pale, yellowish, brown hair, blue eyes
Three products you couldn’t put down this month? Melt Gemini palette, Bare Minerals Coral Cloud blush, eyeliner in general (didn’t wear much for about 2 years)
Favorite lip product this month? The vibrant-but-not-neon vintage peach shade I made at the Bite Lip Lab in SF. It is so lovely, and I named it after a nickname for my husband.

Your skin tone/colouring: Porcelain, with pink undertones

Three products you couldn’t put down this month? CoverFX Monochromatic Blush in Soft Peach, Natasha Denona Mini Lila palette, Sugarpill Funsize palette.
Favorite lip product this month? Any of my Bite Beauty lipsticks.
Favorite eyeshadows this month? I can’t get enough colorful eyeshadow right now! I’ve been using my Sugarpill Funsize palette A LOT, and also the Colourpop So Jaded palette. I feel like I’ve done quite a few, mostly purple based looks this month. Also, I’ve REALLY enjoyed Sugarpill Lumi pigment this month too. So stunning.
Skintone- wear warm beige foundation
3 products- Bare Minerals Hint Blush, Marc Jacobs Infamous lipstick and Colourpop Little Snow lipstick.
Favourite lipstick is Marc Jacobs Infamous. Am panning this and will really miss it when it’s done.
Favourite eyeshadows are Colourpop Moonwalk and Charlotte Tilbury Rebel quad. Loving greens.
My skin tone/coloring:
Fair-light neutral
Three products I couldn’t put down:
Natasha Denona’s two 6-pan palettes Darya + Sculpt & Glow highlight & contour, plus Youth to the People Superberry Hydrate & Glow Oil. I took both to Italy for a week-long trip and my skin was so dry from travel the oil helped and the cream products of ND gave me more life and glow, rather than powdering my face up.
Favorite lip product: Besides hydration for travel (Bite Agave Lip Mask), Becca Ultimate Lipstick Love in Sugar + Buxom Serial Kisser Plumping Lip Stains in Frenchie and XXX.
Favorite eyeshadows: I was mostly going nude on the eye this month, so Stila’s Suede & Shade Liquid Eyeshadow in Nude Awakening.
Ooooh, forgot to mention, also great for travel, my Tatcha Serum Stick.
Your skin tone/coloring: Under my name.
Three products you couldn’t put down this month? I opened a box of my holy grail foundation, Chosungah Luminous Light in the shade Porcelain. I have been hoarding it and it was approaching it’s expiration date so thought I should break into it. I knew that when I opened it I would have to use it up so I have been using it daily. I have been really into pink looks over the past several weeks in response to Lisa Eldridge’s “Pink” look and Kathleen Lights look. So, I have been using pink shades from several different palettes. The third go to this month has been my Lisa Eldridge lipstick in Pink Skyscraper.
Favorite lip product this month? The above mentioned Pink Skyscraper and also my Lipstick Queen Private Party. Both are great pink shades that are deep enough to cover my pigmented lips and are true to colour. They are both satin mattes with a bit more satin than matte and are comfortable to wear. They are also blue based which is more flattering to my skin tone.
Favorite eyeshadows this month? As I mentioned, I have been using shadows from different palettes so my favorites are pinks from my Vintage Rose palette by Give Me Glow Cosmetics and my Nabla Dreamy palette.
I have also been using my Joy perfume almost daily. I always associate it with spring since that was when I first started wearing it back in the 70’s and I think I am feeling ready for spring, although we haven’t had much winter!!
Skintone/Coloring: Light skin( BB sand is good match), dark green eyes, dark brown hair
3 products you couldn’t put down this month- Cover Girl volume blast mascara( orange tube). KA brow pencil in brunette or any brow pencil having created a space in my left brow. Chanel waterlight med light. I really love this and I don’t find it clings to dry patches or is really visible at all.
Favorite lip- Charlotte tilbury the skinny glossy one in Princess Kiss- it’s a great nude pink color
Favorite eyeshadows- Viseart Paris edit- Adore! Bought one for my daughter so she wouldn’t take mine. Favorite look is petale on lid, creme brulee in crease and fleur on outer corners. All the matte colors.
Your skin tone/coloring: fair, cool
Three products you couldn’t put down this month? Natasha Denona Glam Mini palette; Farsali Liquid Glass Radiance Serum; Kiehl’s Butter Stick lip balm
Favorite lip product this month? How boring am I – as always, MAC Craving! And Elizabeth Arden lip primer
Favorite eyeshadows this month? in addition to the ND Glam mini palette, it would have to be ABH Claudia and Marina worn together for a simple but defined and slightly dramatic eye look. Sadly, I’ve had to swear off eye shadow for the short term. I don’t have a stye on my eye but rather a chaliazon (it’s basically a blocked oil gland or duct on the eye lid) and I have to apply heat and gentle massage several times a day and avoid eye cream and eye makeup. I’ve been cheating a bit – eye cream away from where the bump is and I’m still wearing eye liner – but I’ve found a great new use for my jade face roller! I dip in in warm water and use it to apply heat and to massage and it works heaps better than the special moist heat eye compress I got from the eye doctor!
Your skin tone/coloring: Fair, neutral, leans cool a bit
Three products you couldn’t put down this month? Burberry’s Fresh Glow Luminous Fluid Base – Nude Radiance No.01; Guerlain’s Les Voilettes compact powder; Colourpop’s Bitti collaboration in foursome.
Favorite lip product this month? Chanel’s Coromandel
Favorite eyeshadows this month? Colourpop’s Bitti collaboration in foursome
