Your skin tone/coloring: above with freckles, green/gray/blue eyes, warm brown hair.
Most used eyeshadow palette of all time? ND Star palette and ND Safari palette.
Most used single eyeshadow of all time? L’Oreal Amber Rush or ColourPop SSS in Wattles.
Most used eyeliner of all time? L’Oreal Carbon Black Smoldering Eyeliner, the chubby one… My current one has been sharpened to a little stub, but I think once that is done I’d like to try something new/smaller. I’ve been using the L’Oreal one for YEARS. Not the same eyeliner, but the same product. I’ve gone through quite a few.
Deep/ Neutral to Golden
Most Used Palette of All Time-Pat McGrath Mothership Bronze Seduction/Anastasia Jackie Alina palette
Most used single shadow-Hourglass Scattered light eyeshadows-shade Ray
Most Used Eyeliner-Guerlain Mad Eyes intense liner (in glass bottle)
Your skin tone/coloring: Under my name; magenta/red hair; hazel/green eyes.
Most used eyeshadow palette of all time? I don’t know. It would be one of these: The original Too Faced Chocolate Bar, UD Naked Basics, UD Electric, or ABH Modern Renaissance. (Unless we’re counting quads, in which case it was one with chocolate browns made by CoverGirl. I used up and repurchased that one several times from the late ’80s through the early’90s. It was discontinued long ago.)
Most used single eyeshadow of all time? I’m not sure. Probably BareMinerals Loose Mineral Eyecolor in either Bare Skin or Nude Beach, or possibly Notoriously Morbid loose eyeshadow in Autumn Flower.
Most used eyeliner of all time? Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-on Eye Pencil in Perversion.
Your skin tone/coloring: Under my name (blue-green eyes, dark hair).
Most used eyeshadow palette of all time? Honestly, I have NO idea! There are several that get a lot more usage than most of what I own, though. UD Naked 2 and Honey, Lorac Unzipped, PML Divine Rose II and Midnight Sun Motherships, and ND Glam and Sunrise all see plenty of use.
Most used single eyeshadow of all time? I literally have been through at least 4 pans of MAC Orb! And before that, at least as many of a white-gold duochrome from a defunct makeup company from the 80’s/early 90’s.
Most used eyeliner of all time? Essence Midnight In Paris Gel Liner. I’m still super sad that they DC’d that gem!
Your skin tone/coloring: about Mac NW20, brown hair, blue eyes
Most used eyeshadow palette of all time? My guess would be UD Naked 2
Most used single eyeshadow of all time? Sleek Makeup in Back to Reality, it’s about my skintone and evens out skintone and the fading out of my eyeshadow
Most used eyeliner of all time? UD 24/7 Whiskey
Your skin tone/coloring: pale, cool
Most used eyeshadow palette of all time? a toss up between the original Naked Palette and Anastasia’s Mario Palette but Naked really has a clear edge!
Most used single eyeshadow of all time? MAC Mulch, Satin Taupe, Tempting or Burning Ambition (as eyelid shadows), along with MAC Soba or Stila Puppy to contour.
Most used eyeliner of all time? Sephora Cappuccino
Your skin tone/coloring: light, MAC NC 20
Most used eyeshadow palette of all time? ABH Modern Renaissance
Most used single eyeshadow of all time? MAC Vex or Shroom or Wet n Wild Creme Brûlée
Most used eyeliner of all time: MAC Velvet Teddy or Baroque
Your skin tone/coloring: Light neutral
Most used eyeshadow palette of all time? Probably ND Biba or Safari (I view them as core)
Most used single eyeshadow of all time? Hands down, Pasha from the ND Biba palette. I wear it as a one and done all the time.
Most used eyeliner of all time? I change it up a lot, but there are two eyeliners which are fantastic for bringing out the various tones of my hazels eyes: UD Love drug and MJ Jazz(Berry)
Your skin tone/coloring: Light neutral leaning warm, MAC NC 16 or 17
Most used eyeshadow palette of all time? Either Too Faced’s original Natural Eye Palette (still sad they discontinued it!) or my own MAC custom eyeshadow palettes.
Most used single eyeshadow of all time? If I can cheat and use a duo, it’s NARS Madrague. I was so sad when they discontinued it, but not sad enough to avoid using up the last bit. Luckily, I found a backup at an outlet back in November, so my Madrague overuse can continue unabated.
Most used eyeliner of all time? Either Urban Decay Whiskey or Smog.
Your skin tone/colouring: Porcelain, with pink undertones
Most used eyeshadow palette of all time? Probably Lorac’s Pro Metal palette, as I hit pan on nearly all of the shades and ended up repurchasing it (the only palette I ever have). A close second would be Naked 1, bareMinerals Soft and Smokey, Dior’s Bonne Etoile and Chanel’s Tisse D’Automne.
Honourable Mention would go to Vice 2.
Most used single eyeshadow of all time? City Color’s Sandstorm and Cleo.
Most used eyeliner of all time? I don’t use eyeliner.
Lorac Pro Metal is such a great palette! I feel bad because I’ve only used mine like twice! I will have to use it this week!
Skin tone: pale/neutral with medium blonde hair and green eyes.
Most used palette: I loved the original Tarte Rainforest of the Sea. It was great for work and travel. Hit pan on 5 or 6 of the eight shades before I tossed it. Of current palettes, probably Pat McGrath MTHRSHP Subliminal Platinum Bronze.
Singles: I do not use a lot of singles, but I have a Trinny London Eye2Eye cream in Mystery that I’ve used a lot while my bathroom is packed up for painting. I wish I could find more reviews of her line!
Eyeliner: Hands down YSL Dessin du Regard. I’ve probably gone through 3-4 in black over the years and am now using a dark brown. So soft, smooth, and dries to an immoveable presence. I love it.
Your skin tone/coloring: I tend to be in the fair range in most brands but in more extensive ranges I’m usually the last fair shade or the first light shade if the undertone is cool.
Most used eyeshadow palette of all time? IT Naturally Pretty.

Your skin tone/coloring: light, cool, pink.
Most used eyeshadow palette of all time? I am seriously just buying eyeshadow palettes, other than tiny ones from cover girl or wet n wild when I was a teenager. I used BareMinerals and Everyday Minerals makeup for a long time, and used their shadows. And even then, it was a Gray/brown on lid, darker in crease, highlight inner corner of eye, and that’s it. I’m a beginner! I’m actually sorting through all my makeup and I’m coming across old makeup,(I mean old, old), and I found a little Everyday Minerals “Palette” of loose shadows called “Shady Stroll” that I loved.
Most used single eyeshadow of all time? Bare Skin by BareMinerals.
Most used eyeliner of all time? Of all time? Oh goodness. It was definitely a brown one by Jane Cosmetics. (I told you I’m just getting back into actually wearing makeup, haha).
Your skin tone/coloring: above under my name, dark brown hair, hazel eyes
Most used eyeshadow palette of all time? Naked II
Most used single eyeshadow of all time? I don’t usually use singles, probably Mac Shroom
Most used eyeliner of all time? Haha if you could see my “collection” of eyeliners! But I do have favorites, UD Roxy, Fenty Lady Lagoon, then my Mom sold Avon and they have a gel liner that goes on super smooth, and the colors are super saturated and when they dry they are bullet proof but after she passed I haven’t bothered to order any more.
Skin tone/coloring: fair with cool undertones, dark brown hair, hazel/light brown eyes
Most used eyeshadow palette of all time: If I go by what palette has hit pan the most, then either Urban Decay Naked 2 (for the brow highlight shades usually) or Anastasia Subculture (hear me out guys: I found a way to apply the shadows that isn’t patchy and I use the sparkly pink and green shades as highlighter as well)
Most used single eyeshadow: Mac Sable
Most used eyeliner of all time: NYX Epic Ink Liner in Black or KVD Tattoo Liner in Trooper Black
Your skin tone/coloring: above
Most used eyeshadow palette of all time? Lorac Pro (original) or Too Faced Pretty Rebel

Most used eyeliner of all time? Urban Decay Perversion (black)
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.
Most used eyeshadow palette of all time? Probably a 3-way tie between UD Electric, UD Born to Run, and Tarte of Giving 2013.
Most used single eyeshadow of all time? I only have 2 single eyeshadows at the moment-Sephora Vampire Lovers and UD Midnight Cowboy.
Most used eyeliner of all time? Either Estee Lauder Pure Color Blackened Cocoa or KVD/Billie Joe Armstrong Basket Case.
Your skin tone/coloring:
Light, neutral undertones
Blue/grey eyes
Light brown hair
Most used eyeshadow palette of all time?
UD Naked 1, closely followed by MAC Cult of Cherry Quad
Most used single eyeshadow of all time?
UD Midnight Cowgirl
Most used eyeliner of all time?
Catrice waterproof fluid liner in Stay with me.
Very cheap but easy to use and it stays on forever. A good second would be Maybelline Tattoo Liner.
Your skin tone/coloring: Light to fair, neutral, grey-green eyes or something like that depends on the light and colours around me and on my lids, they can shift to turquoise and to almost see through grey, but, or so I’ve heard also black. Does anyone else have a hard time deciding what colour they eyes really are?
Hair is dark brown.
Most used eyeshadow palette of all time? I think it would be UD Naked 3 if we don’t count quads and quints, then it would be some of the old Dior quints, or Chanel quads, names long forgotten, I’m afraid.
Most used single eyeshadow of all time? I have no idea, but I think it must be lighter skin colours used every day on the brow bone area. They can be from just about any brand, I do recall a very light one from Makeup Forever, there was just a little bit of eyeshadow left around the edge when I tossed it.
Most used eyeliner of all time? Any black pencil liner, I used to love one from Lancome a long time ago before we had on line retailers and before UD arrived here.
These questions were hard to answer as I have been using makeup for so very many years. I tried to think back, but have probably forgot about what I used back when I actually used the makeup until the pans were empty, or the pencil couldn’t be sharpened one more time. the lipstick dug out with a lip brush and so on, before buying replacements.
My husband has sea colored eyes — they’ll look green, pale blue, or gray depending on the day and lighting.
My eyes usually appear olive (hazel), but depending on my eyeshadow, they will look bright green, blue-gray, amber, or even golden if I wear yellow shadows.
Your eyes sound amazing!
Sea coloured is a very good description, I’ll start using it. I would love it they could shift to the deep blues, but unfortunately I have to be satisfied with the light spectra of sea. (Or is it spectrum? I’m confused and perhaps I should use words I actually know.)
Skin tone/coloring: above
Most used eyeshadow palette of all time: Likely Too Faced Just Peachy scrapes by the TF Natural Eyes Matte (after that, I couldn’t say).
Most used single eyeshadow of all time: Most singles I use now are cream/liquid and in that maybe Painterly from MAC. Powder, likely MUFE M-540 which is a perfect one-and-done or crease or base shadow.
Most used eyeliner of all time: Likely L’Oreal, a liquid eyeliner I used to use in the 90s to do cat eye. I don’t do cat eye much these days because once you get fine lines around your eyes and lids start to crease, it gets messy and you never get a sharp line, ergo think it makes me look older.
Fair-Light Cool, light green eyes
