Survey Says... June 14th, 2023
Happy Wednesday! Here's this week's survey, which you can copy and paste and share as a comment.
- Your skin tone/coloring:
- Favorite coral lip product?
- Worst lipstick formula you’ve tried?
- Last makeup remover you purchased?
Your skin tone/coloring: Light neutral skin tone, green eyes, s&p hair
Favorite coral lip product? Coral lipsticks never look good on me.
Worst lipstick formula you’ve tried? The one that immediately comes to mind is Makeup By Mario Ultra Suede Lipstick in Erin because it was too drying and uncomfortable. Another bad is Charlotte Tilbury Matte Revolution in Pillow Talk. Love the shade, hate the formula. (Mattes are my favorite finish, but these two were pretty awful for me.)
Last makeup remover you purchased? Garnier All-in-1 Waterproof Micellar Water
Your skin tone/coloring: Below my name
Favorite coral lip product? I don’t think I ever have worn coral on my lips
Worst lipstick formula you’ve tried? It would have to be one of those so-called indelible products from the 90’s (?) where you painted the color on your mouth followed by a balm-type product that supposedly rehydrated your lips. Ugly and uncomfortable.
Last makeup remover you purchased? Iunik Calendula Complete Cleansing Oil. In the same order I bought a tube of the remover for Heroine Make waterproof mascara but I have not tried it yet.
Your skin tone/coloring: pale, cool
Favorite coral lip product? I don’t have one – I don’t wear coral
Worst lipstick formula you’ve tried? the original TooFaced Melted Liquified liquid lipstick – ugh, it was awful.
Last makeup remover you purchased? Possibly Farmacy Clean Green balm – I really like that stuff.
Your skin tone/coloring: Under my name (blue-green eyes, dark hair)
Favorite coral lip product? Oh boy! So many favorites to choose from, so here goes: UD Tryst and Streak (Revolution formula), PMG Labs Candy Flip, MAC See Sheer and Make Me Gorgeous, Rare Beauty Lip Oil in Serenity for a dusty, yet juicy coral. That’s just the short list, though!
Worst lipstick formula you’ve tried? Nyx old school Round Lipsticks. Without question, those had almost no lasting power. Also, KVD Everlasting Liquid Lipsticks because they literally sucked all the life and moisture out of my lips.
Last makeup remover you purchased? Farmacy Green Clean Makeup Melting Cleansing Balm!
Your skin tone/coloring: MAC NC 20
Favorite coral lip product? MAC See Sheer
Worst lipstick formula you’ve tried? Bite Amuse Bouche. Hated how thick and heavy it felt on the lips!
Last makeup remover you purchased? Bioderma Micellar Water
MAC NC20.
Fave coral l/s — Bobbi Brown Retro Coral. Morphe Giddy.
I find liquid lipsticks in general hard to control in application especially in medium and deeper shades, and also if matte (dry).
I don’t use makeup remover, just a face cleanser like Philosophy Purity, etc..
Your skin tone/colouring: Porcelain, with pink undertones
Favorite coral lip product? I am not generally a coral lip kind of wearer, but I don’t mind CP’s Trending, which is a medium coral lipstick. It’s actually quite a lovely colour.
Worst lipstick formula you’ve tried? There’s a few on my list: Bite Beauty and some of L’Oreal’s – all for the same reason – very dry, made my lips sore and I ended up tossing them.
Last makeup remover you purchased? Just the other day I purchased a couple of back-ups: CeraVe’s Hydrating cleanser, Neutragena’s Hydro Boost cleanser and Swisse’s Sweet Almond cleanser – all were on sale.
FAVORITE CORAL LIP PRODUCT?
Of all time, MAC La Vie En Rouge (LE). Also, ColourPop Flower SZN and Superbloom, PML Luxtrance lipstick in Tropicalia (DC), UD Vice Lipstick in Tryst (DC).
WORST LIPSTICK FORMULA YOU’VE TRIED?
Melt’s original matte bullet lipstick and ColourPop’s original Ultra Matte liquid lipsticks. I can’t think of anything in recent years that I really hated.
LAST MAKEUP REMOVER YOU PURCHASED?
Pacifica Wake Up Beautiful Waterless Cleansing Balm
Your skin tone/coloring: Above, dark brown hair, grey-green eyes.
Favorite coral lip product? Corals doesn’t look good on me, but I think the closest thing could be an Orgasm lip gloss from NARS. It was a long time ago but I still remember it and I know I finished it.
Worst lipstick formula you’ve tried? I think it must be Illamasqua’s matte, or ultramatte lipsticks, I don’t recall the names, I do remember they weren’t fun to apply and they sucked all the moisture from my lips making them look like very dry raisins. The pigment and colour selection was good though.
Last makeup remover you purchased? Cllinique Take the Day Off.
