Your skin tone/coloring: light. MAC NC 20
Favorite matte lipstick? MAC Kinda Sexy, MAC Velvet Teddy
Favorite matte blush? MAC Coppertone, MAC Gingerly, Clinique Nude Pop
Favorite one-and-done eyeshadow? About Face Capulets, Victoria Beckham Bitter Cove, L’oréal Amber Rush
YOUR SKIN TONE/COLORING:
Under my name; dark plum hair; hazel/green eyes.
FAVORITE MATTE LIPSTICK?
MAC La Vie En Rouge (LE)
FAVORITE MATTE BLUSH?
Milani Rose Powder Blush in Coral Cove
FAVORITE ONE-AND-DONE EYESHADOW?
Notoriously Morbid Autumn Flower (DC), My Pretty Zombie Everything Looks Better on a Meathook, anything in the first Tarte ROTS palette.
Your skin tone/coloring: pale, cool
Favorite matte lipstick? no such thing. Those I loathe the least are Smashbox Infra Red and UD Love Drunk
Favorite matte blush? eh! If I had to choose, maybe MAC Rhubarb (is that a matte shade?) or an oldie but a goodie, as matte blushes go, Frankly Scarlet
Favorite one-and-done eyeshadow? Today, it happens to be Tarte Sinful but on any given day, it could be Marc Jacobs Brav!O or ABH Chiffon or Truffle Glitter or Nars Stud….
Your skin tone/coloring: Under my name (blue-green eyes, dark hair)
Favorite matte lipstick? I’ve got a few, mostly from MAC; Relentlessly Red, Mehr, Ruby Woo, Lady Danger. Also, the old UD Matte Revolution lipstick formula had some amazing shades!
Favorite matte blush? Tarte Paaarty, MAC Burnt Pepper, UD Bittersweet.
Favorite one-and-done eyeshadow? With my eye shape, there really is NO such thing! I may be able to get away with using a mult or duochrome for that purpose, though. It’s just that my eye shape lacks enough dimension to do a purely one n’ done eyeshadow look.
Your skin tone/coloring: above with freckles, green eyes, warm brown hair.
Favorite matte lipstick? Probably Lisa Eldridge Velvet Fawn. It’s one of the few formulas that doesn’t leave grit in my teeth. I don’t know what ingredient does that for me, but matte lipsticks never used to be so gritty.
Favorite matte blush? The Kaleidos Mono blushes. My favorite right now is Dreamwalk.
Favorite one-and-done eyeshadow? Terra Moons Veil Nebula. It has enough of a base that it looks really cool smoked out and a beautiful shift to boot!
Your skin tone/coloring: Very fair olive, hazel eyes, dark brown hair
Favorite matte lipstick? Mac Retro Matte (Ruby Woo or Relentlessly Red) or Mac Matte (Sweet Deal)
Favorite matte blush? Nars (Amour or Impassioned)
Favorite one-and-done eyeshadow? Mac Pro Longwear Paint Pot (Groundwork)
I guess I like Mac more than I thought!
Your skin tone/colouring: Porcelain, with pink undertones
Favorite matte lipstick? I don’t generally wear matte lipsticks, but have ended up with a couple in my lipstick collection – I think MAC’s Chili is one of them that I do wear.
Favorite matte blush? I love a good matte blush. I don’t particularly have a favourite at the moment, but I am hoping that MAC’s Fleur Power blush might be it.
Favorite one-and-done eyeshadow? I don’t often do a one and done unless it is very hot weather and for that it is either SG x Temptalia’s Earthbound or Magellan’s Light.
Your skin tone/coloring: Porcelain
Favorite matte lipstick? Melt (Dark Room and Stepford specifically), Pretty Zombie Cosmetics (I’m so sad they closed).
Favorite matte blush? Lunatick cosmetic labs #8.0 deep rose.
Favorite one-and-done eyeshadow? MAC Stolen Moment, Urban Decay Mushroom.
Your skin tone/coloring: Light-medium, warm yellow undertones, dark brown hair and eyes
Favorite matte lipstick? MAC Diva (and the MAC Mate formula in general)
Favorite matte blush? MAC Breath of Plum
Favorite one-and-done eyeshadow? MAC Satin Taupe
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 matte lipstick? I can’t decide. Maybe Sephora #Lipstories A Little Magic?
Favorite matte blush? Tarte Dollface or B-Day Bae.
Favorite one-and-done eyeshadow? I wear too many complicated eyeshadow looks to know if I have a favorite one-and-done, but if pressed to answer I’d say UD Jilted-the fuchsia base and blue shift are bright and colorful and the shift gives it dimension and versatility.
