Favorite pink blush? just one (or two?) – for sure, Dior’s Rosy Glow Awakening Blush and MAC Into the Pink ED blush
Favorite plum eyeshadow? I’m not sure if they’re “plum” but UD Weirwood Leaves (from the Game of Thrones palette) and Dior’s New Look #3 shadow.

Your skin tone/coloring: Pale, neutral/cool

Favorite red lipstick? I really only have Icon from Hourglass, gifted by a friend a few years ago. It still works great. However, I’ve decided that when the blessed day comes when we can strut around maskless I will reward myself with Lisa Eldridge’s Velvet Ribbon and maybe Velvet Myth.

Favorite pink blush? It’s like a twenty-way tie but I currently love Etude House’s Strawberry Choux, Clinique Ballerina Pop, MAC Dainty, NARS Sex Fantasy, SG Always & Forever.

Favorite plum eyeshadow? I don’t have many but I like the one in the Tarte Love Trust & Fairy Dust palette.

Your skin tone/coloring: Very fair and neutral to cool
Favorite red lipstick? Reina Rebelde Brava or MAC Viva Glam I
Favorite pink blush? A’Pieu Heart on the Cheek PK01 Stressy
Favorite plum eyeshadow? Shook (shimmer) and No Beans (matte) from the Morphe X James Charles palettte. No Beans looks brown in the pan, but it applies as a plum on me.

Your skin tone/coloring: Under my name (blue-green eyes, dark hair).

Favorite red lipstick? Currently I’m still loving MAC Siempre Selena Retro Matte. But I do still love YSL Scout’s Red, UD Bad Blood, MAC Como La Flor, Yoni Crush and Ruby Woo. I just cannot wear my standard tube lipsticks out for now.

Favorite pink blush? MAC Sweet Vision!

Favorite plum eyeshadow? Too many to list here! Absolute favorite has to be the ones in CT Bejeweled Palette, though. Her metallic shadows smooth out my lids in a way that I haven’t seen before.

Your skin tone/coloring: Porcelain, with pink undertones

Favorite red lipstick? Clains Joli Rouge Red Terra – one of the few red lipsticks that doesn’t turn pink on me.

Favorite pink blush? More like a coral blush – Clinique’s Melon Pop and The Balm’s Hot Mama

Favorite plum eyeshadow? I love a good plum eyeshadow – but they are hard to find. The best is Mecca Max Eyephoria palette that has a soft shimmer plum in it.

Your skin tone/coloring: pale, cool skin (foundation matches: Fenty Pro Filt’r 110, Urban Decay All Nighter 2.5, NARS Natural Radiant Longwear 2.0 Mont Blanc, Kevyn Aucoin The Etherealist Light EF 02, L’Oreal True Match C3 Creamy Natural), gray eyes, brown hair with red highlights and scattered blonde/blue strands. My everyday base products are Fenty-Amber Match Stick as cheek contour and Pro Filt’r concealer and Soft Matte foundation in 110.
Favorite red lipstick? Too many to count! I am, however, looking forward to using (only at home for the foreseeable future) YSL x Zoe Kravitz Brooklyn Baby and buying YSL x ZK London Sky and Midnight LA.
Favorite pink blush? NARS Thrill-I love that pop of bubblegum pink!
Favorite plum eyeshadow? My favorite plum eyeshadow isn’t actually a true plum, but a plum/turquoise duochrome-KVD Kelly from the 10-Year Anniversary palette.
