Where you go to talk beauty: MUA
Favorite Foundation: Still hunting for something perfect, but probably MAC SFF or Chanel T.I
What celebrity makeup style is like yours?: If I had an answer to this question my makeup would be more consistent.

Teresa Avatar

Where you go to talk beauty: I’m usually a lurker here and on Specktra. So for actual talking, I’d say my favorite MA at my MAC counter, Shauna.
Favorite Foundation: Bare Minerals in Fairly Light (or Light sometimes)
What celebrity makeup style is like yours?: I can’t think of one that experiments with color, smokey eyes, and classic looks. Celebs tend to be very neutral and safe, sticking with the same looks all the time. I’d be happy to be corrected on this, though.

1. Blogs like Temptalia, Scandalous Beauty, or Bellasugar

2. I’m old school: Cover Girl Tru Blend in Soft Honey

3. I like J.Lo’s neutral style as well as Halle Berry’s cosmetic style.

1. Temptalia~ the best..love you Christine =) and Specktra

2. MAC Studio Fix Fluid in NW15 or Mary Kay Medium Coverage in Ivory 200

3.I love J.LO’s look: Sometimes neutral and sometimes bold and fierce! 😉 …bring on the color!!

Katherine Avatar

1. Makeupalley – great site to learn about opinions about so many brands. Usually go to Product Reviews before buying a product.
2. Chanel Double Perfection Powder Foundation. If I want to use a liquid, La Mer or Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer.
3. I love Jennifer Aniston, although I wouldn’t say I copy her looks. Mine vary so much by my mood and what I’m wearing.

Favorite Foundation: Chanel Teint Innocence
What celebrity makeup style is like yours?: Jennifer Lopez – she is always so impeccably groomed. Also Kim Kardashian – her eyes are amazing.

Rio Avatar

Where you go to talk beauty: I don’t really, aside from this blog. I don’t know a lot of people that are into makeup.
Favorite Foundation: I did wear Physician’s Formula, until I got a ton of compliments when I wasn’t wearing foundation. Now, I don’t wear any.
What celebrity makeup style is like yours?: I am not really sure. Dita Von Teese is as close as I can think of, though I tend to wear darker eyeshadow than she does.

Temptalia!!! My best make up gf Wei Ting
Benefit – Some Kind of Gorgeous is all I need
I don’t have one! I just love bright jewel tone colors, smokey eyes and the sweet Japanese girl look =p

jess Avatar

1. Here and some of my friends who are also make up addicts.

2. I don’t know anymore. *sigh*

3. Dita Von Teese is my favorite, but I only strive to look like her – I don’t think I really look like her.

Favorite Foundation: Chanel Teint Innocence
What celebrity makeup style is like yours?: Sophia Bush or maybe Penelope Cruz

Macaddict Avatar

1) Temptalia and every one, esp. all the MAC MAS that know me so well by now!
2) MAC Studio Fix in NC30 & Lancome Color Ideal Hydra Compact in Beige Albatre
3) I can’t think of anyone because, for the most part, I have my very unique style and, also, bc most of them have very “mainstream”/safe tastes as far as colors go! I’m not so big on neutrals colors & looks and it seems that a lot of them prefer those. I get inspiration from fashion mags instead.

Where you go to talk beauty: blogs like yours, Bellasugar, and the Sephora in town

Favorite Foundation: Currently MUFE Matte Velvet (color 30)

What celebrity makeup style is like yours?: Dita Von Teese (I wish!), and any 1940’s movie star with dark hair

Favorite Foundation: MUFE HD foundation mixed in with my moisturizer (Bliss steep clean mattifying moisturizer), because MUFE HD has too much coverage for my liking on its own.

What celebrity makeup style is like yours?: hmm, i’m not sure about that considering my looks vary by my moods. i do always love kim k’s smokey eyes. also i love christina aguilera’s red and hot pink lip looks.

Favorite Foundation: Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk in 4
What celebrity makeup style is like yours?: Diane Kruger has provided inspiration – hers is always immaculate / modern / funky / pretty… but whether i achieve it is a different question. angelina jolie has a great little cats eye thing going on.

Jennifer Avatar
