Favorite nail polish finish for sure is a jelly finish! I love how shiny they are!

Lip stick finish would have to be matte! <3

As for eye shadow, I love frost finishes!

Favorite nail polish finish? glossy

Favorite lipstick finish? cream

Favorite eyeshadow finish? cream

I really love creamy finishes on my eyes, lips and cheeks. Perhaps it is due to the rather moisturizing qualities. Sometimes a little gloss on the lips or shimmery powder on the eyes but usually it stays the same.

Favorite nail polish finish? – Cream!

Favorite lipstick finish? – Anything that’s cream and opaque, so Satin, Amplified, Cremesheen, & Matte. I’d say my favorite is probably Cremesheen, though.

Favorite eyeshadow finish? – That’s really hard because I think eye makeup looks best when using a few different textures/finishes. I don’t think I can pick just one! In the past, it would have been Frost and Veluxe Pearl, but now I like to have a range, so too hard to pick just one finish! I will say least favorite is probably Lustre/Glitter.

It’s really not what I like- but what I DON’T like!

Nail polish finish – like everything except matte and crackle

Lipstick – everything but matte

Eyeshadow – like everything but creams which don’t work for me

Favorite lipstick finish? I love amplified, cremesheens, and lustres. It’s hard to say which is #1 as I have a fav lipstick in each of those finishes.

Nail polish – not sure what it would be called but just the regular cream finish with a nice shine

Lipstick – probably MAC’s Amplified Cream or Clarins Rouge Prodige finish (somewhat longlasting but not that drying finish of some long wear lipsticks)

Eye Shadow – Velux Pearl or Matte 2

I can’t decide if I want to answer them all with GLITTER or with MATTE! I love both. Glittery lips and matte eyes, or the other way around, and glittery nails with matte tips… [grin]
