Cream or powder blush? Powder
Cream or powder eyeshadow? Powder
Lipstick or lipgloss? Lipstick
Your skin tone/coloring: Very fair with neutral undertones; magenta hair; hazel/green eyes
Cream or powder blush? Powder, because I have oily skin. I wear some cream blushes, but mostly powders.
Cream or powder eyeshadow? Powder here, too, My eyelids are even oilier than the rest of my face. The only cream formula that doesn’t crease on me is ColourPop. The rest crease even with primer under them.

Cream or powder blush? Powder blush. I have combo skin and feel like cream blushes dont cooperate with my skin like powder blushes do.
Cream or powder eyeshadow? Powder eyeshadow because usually creams crease faster on my lids. However I always use a Mac paint pot (and a primer) before I apply my shadow or no matter what I use it will crease within 2 hours.

❝ Powder blushes. All the way!! They have a longer shelf life. ❞
♥ Cream or powder eyeshadow?
❝ Ooooh, tricky, tricky! I like cream eyeshadows as bases or whenever I need a quick, 2-minute lid color. But I can’t deny my undying love for powder eyeshadows; and you get better control over the product’s application. ❞
♥ Lipstick or lipgloss?
❝ I just whimpered. I don’t wanna choose! LOL. OK. Since I’m a fan of vibrant and/or sultry, opaque lip colors, I’m choosing lipstick. If someone threw away my lipglosses, I’d cry for a while, but if someone threw away my lipsticks, HEADS WILL ROLL! Haha! ❞
?How I feel about my crazy large lipstick collection? What you just said!!! Somebody just *try* taking it, and yeah, I’ll go off like a lightbulb!!!?

Cream or powder blush: Even though I do like my Colourpop blushes, I still prefer a powder blush 80-90% of the time.
Cream or powder eyeshadow: Again, powder wins out for me. However, I love hybrid eyeshadow formulas, such as MUFE Artist Shadows, and I would still call Colourpop formula more of a hybrid than a true cream.
Lipstick or lip gloss: Lipstick!!! I love gloss sometimes to give my lipstick extra moisture or longevity, but still…lipstick is my jam!
Your skin tone/coloring: pale/light with pink undertones
Cream or powder blush? powder
Cream or powder eyeshadow? powder but I do like my Charlotte Tilbury’s cream eyeshadows for a quick eye look

Your skin tone/coloring: Medium Neutral MAC NC 30/35
Cream or powder blush? Powder for sure my favorite formula lately has been Clinique Pop blushes
Cream or powder eyeshadow? Cream stick formulas lately, they are super quick in the morning. I really like the Nars and Laura Mercier formulas
Lipstick or lipgloss? Lipstick for sure MAC Patisserie has been in my bag for over a month, the luster finish is perfect mix of creamy and shiny no need for a lipgloss
Your skin tone/coloring: light/medium with pink undertones

Lipstick or lipgloss? Lipstick 99.9% of the time
Light to medium with yellow undertones.
Powder blush for sure. I can’t afford shifting my base trying to blend a cream blush.
I generally use powder eyeshadow, but I have a few cream shadows that I love and wear from time to time.
Lipstick for sure. I went through a gloss phase when I was younger. I just don’t like the sticky feeling and getting hair in it…

Lipstick or lipgloss? Lipstick girl all the way.
Your skin tone/coloring: Fairest neutral. Would be something like NW00/NW05 if they existed!
Cream or powder blush? Powder. I like cream blush but with the foundations I use and my oily skin powder is the way to go. They’re also quick to throw on when I’m half asleep in the morning doing my makeup!
Cream or powder eyeshadow? I guess I can’t say both! If I had to choose I’d say powder, even though I tend to use a combination of both most days. Powder is more convenient though and you don’t have to worry about it drying out (although you have to watch that it doesn’t break)!
Lipstick or lipgloss? This is an easy one for me. I’m a lipstick girl all the way! I have far too many but I love them all. I can’t tell you the last time I wore lipgloss even though I do have quite a few. They just go all gloopy on my lips after a while because my lips are dry 24/7 due to my meds. o.0
Cream or powder blush? Cream! Except for a few formulas that I find harder to blend, I feel like cream blush is easier to apply and looks more natural on me.
Cream or powder eyeshadow? I like both, but I may also have a slight preference for cream. I always want to try new cream formulas!
Lipstick or lipgloss? Lipstick! I prefer high impact color, and one thing I don’t like about gloss is how you feel it on your lips. Even worse when it’s tacky!

Lipstick or lipgloss? I despise lipgloss
Your skin tone/coloring: NC15
Cream or powder blush? Powder!
Cream or powder eyeshadow? I don’t have a preference, though I tend to use cream eyeshadows for a single wash of color that looks like it has more dimension, and powder for more intricate looks, though I tend to prime my eyes with MAC Painterly either way.
Lipstick or lipgloss? Lipstick, really not a fan of lipgloss
Skin Tone: fair/ light porcelain
Powder Blush – currently using Natio’s Sunkissed palette – an Australian cruelty free brand and this blush is excellent.

Your skin tone/coloring: Dark warm
Cream or powder blush? Powder, but cream in the warmer months.
Cream or powder eyeshadow? Powder

Cream or powder eyeshadow? powder but i just bought cream eyeshadow by kiko , hope it changes my mind
Lipstick or lipgloss? lipstick
Your skin tone/coloring: light-fair, fair skin with yellow neutral undertones
Cream or powder blush? I like both it depends on the look i want, I do tend to use the powder ones more as it is faster and easier to apply but i like the finish of the cream ones more
Cream or powder eyeshadow? Powder eyeshadow i just love that there are more color options and finishes
Lipstick or lipgloss? Lipstick, never really was a lipgloss kind of girl especially since i live in a windy country and I have long hair 😀 it’s a recipe for disaster
