Fav Blush: Maybelline Coral Crush. I have very pink cheeks so this orange turns pretty coral on me, plus I don’t look quite so clownish if I heat up and start flushing.
Favorite Eyeshadow Palette: I don’t use palettes much but lately I’ve been using shimmery golden beiges from WetnWild on the lid to blend out wackier-but-with-gold-shimmer tones on the outer corner. So I guess WetnWild Color Icon Trios.
