Your skin tone/coloring: above with freckles, green/gray/blue eyes, warm brown hair.

Most refreshing skincare product? Mario Badescu Rosewater and Aloe Facial Mist. Though, it could use a better spray component.

Lip color you feel most confident in? Bite Beauty Virgo or PMGL Luxetrance in Beautiful Creature

Your favorite feature to emphasize? My eyes. I feel over the last few years I’ve really perfected my blending and how to place shadow to flatter my eye shape.

Your skin tone/coloring: Light neutral skin tone, green eyes, s&p hair

Most refreshing skincare product? Hmm, I don’t consider any product I use to be refreshing. I’m looking forward to seeing how other people answer this question.

Lip color you feel most confident in? Red, though I rarely wear it during the daytime. My favorite red is Chanel Pirate.

Your favorite feature to emphasize? Eyes. To be even more specific, my eye color.

Your skin tone/coloring: Under my name; magenta/red hair; hazel/green eyes

Most refreshing skincare product? IDK. I suppose a good mud mask, after it’s been taken off.

Lip color you feel most confident in? Bright red and fuchsia. They’re power colors, for sure, and they suit my coloring. I have fair and neutral skin and light eyes that are high-contrast with my hair {bright magenta-red (when dyed)/medium-dark brown (natural)}

Your favorite feature to emphasize? Eyes. Mine are fairly large, wide-set, almond-shaped, and the irises have many different colors in them. It’s fun to make them stand out.

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

Most refreshing skincare product? Ooh, it’s a toss up between Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide mixed with The Ordinary Rose Hip Oil and Glow Recipe Watermelon Glow Ultra-fine Mist setting spray! Both feel sooo good!

Lip color you feel most confident in? Red. Like MAC Ruby Woo, Yoni Crush or YSL Scout’s Red type reds. Also, a good, solid brownish red, as in PMG Strangé or MAC Paramount.

Your favorite feature to emphasize? Eyes! Even though mine are very hooded and small, the kaleidoscope of teal blue, sage green and greenish gold in the iris is too pretty not to play up! Same for the almond shape. Gotta play that up!

Your skin tone/coloring: above!

Most refreshing skincare product? Hada Labo moisturizer. It’s from the line without synthetic fragrance, yet it smells so clean and nice.

Lip color you feel most confident in? With a Miss Fisher red lip I can rule the world ??

Your favorite feature to emphasize? Eyes, probably. Some winged liner, etc. But my eyelids are not prominent so eyeshadow only does so much lol.

Your skin tone/coloring: Light-medium with warm yellow undertone

Most refreshing skincare product? I find toners very refreshing, usually I’ll rotate through different versions of the Paula’s Choice ones.

Lip color you feel most confident in? MAC Diva (easiest, most predictable answer)

Your favorite feature to emphasize? Eyes, my face looks odd / washed out if I don’t define my eyes.

Your skin tone/coloring: Medium warm, like an NC-25/30 or something in MAC terms!
Most refreshing skincare product? The Acwell Licorice Essence Mist. I LOVE this mist, it’s my favorite for the spritzer and also because it’s a mist that actually hydrates and nourishes you face instead of just…making your skin wet lol.
Lip color you feel most confident in? Orange!!
Your favorite feature to emphasize? Eyes.

Your skin tone/coloring: Very fair with neutral undertones, mature with wrinkles and crepey eyelids. My skin is dry. My eyes are deep brown and my hair is gray.
Most refreshing skincare product? My facial mist. Especially in the summer when I keep them in my refrigerator and spritz my face several times a day. In terms of general refreshing, as opposed to a specific product, just getting my makeup off at the end of the day is very refreshing!
Lip color you feel most confident in? A deep berry shade and I have a few, LOL!
Your favorite feature to emphasize? My eyes. I think a close second would be my skin. I am coming around to the idea that my skin is pretty good for my age and I get a lot of compliments about it. I was eating dinner at a restaurant and a couple were leaving. The lady came over to my table, where I was sitting with a large party, and she told me that my skin was beautiful and she had been watching me for sometime, trying to decide if she should say anything to me. I told her that a compliment is never wrong!

Your skin tone/colouring: Porcelain, with pink undertones.
Most refreshing skincare product? I have a Natio Spa cleanser that is most refreshing to use as a body wash on a hot day in a cool shower.
Lip color you feel most confident in? Bronzey russet shades are my favourite lip colour in a moisturising formula.
Your favorite feature to emphasize? I love dearly my eyeshadows, but really my favourite feature is my skin. I have really taken care of my skin over my 65+ years and it still looks pretty good.

Most refreshing skincare product: Peter Thomas Roth FIRMx Peeling Gel and the newer Milk Vegan Moisturizer.

Lip color I feel most confident in: Please don’t Hate me for this but Jeffree Star Lip Ammunition in shade “Celebrity Skin” With Morphe Lip Liner in shade “Sweet Tea” with a dab of gloss in the middle.

Favorite Feature to emphasize: I REALLY wish I new how to slightly overdraw my lips! For some reason I struggle with it but haven’t given up yet. In reality, it’s my eyes. They are big and blue-grey. I like to tightline & extend my inner and outer corners with liner on my lash line & waterline.

Coloring: Light olive, with a must of freckles over my nose 🙂

Most refreshing skincare product? Volition Snow Mushroom Serum!

Lip Color you feel most confident in? The best ever on me was Clinique Double Fudge (rip!), so anything brown with a little plum or red is what I look for.

Your favorite feature to emphasize? I should do my eyes more (dark grey/green with dark lashes), but I love a good flushed cheek!

Light/Medium skin with an olive undertone, green/grey eyes, light brown with blonde/honey highlights

Most refreshing skincare product? Sake High Moisture Skin Lotion Toner By Kikumasamune – I buy this on Amazon and I LOVE it! It has been touted as a dupe for the uber expensive SKII, I have not used that so I cannot compare. I do a double cleanse then splash this on my face pressing it in followed by my moisturizer. I feel like it make my moisturizer penetrate so much better! I have pretty dry skin and live in the ‘Mile High City’ where the elevation just dry’s EVERYTHING out. I am on my third bottle of this and will continue to purchase. It is very refreshing!
Lip color you feel most confident in? Nude! Although I have always wanted to rock a red lip I just have not found the ‘perfect’ red. Every time I wear a red I feel so self conscious.
Your favorite feature to emphasize? Hmmm, probably my eyelashes! They are pretty long and thick so they look nice with a good mascara!
