Your skin tone/coloring: Under my name (blue-green eyes).
Best hydrating mask? Tony Moly Aloe Sheet Mask or Dr. Jart Water Drenched (I think that’s its name, anyway? I know it more by its packaging than name. Sorry!)
Lip color you feel most confident in? A matte or luminescent RED lip is always a confidence booster for me! Oddly, so is a good nude lip.
Your favorite feature to emphasize? Eyes! Mostly due to their interesting iris colors. They are dark teal blue on the outer ring turning a bluish-green going towards the pupils, then there are green-gold flecks scattered around the pupils. The almond shape makes them look more exotic, so I enjoy emphasizing that, too. The hoods and almost no mobile lid showing are what I wish I could change, though.
Your skin tone/coloring: Fair-neutral; low-contrast coloring (light hair, eyes, etc).
Best hydrating mask? I love the FAB Oatmeal Mask! It was the only one that felt genuinely soothing And hydrating while I was on Accutane (and I tried a TON). I also love raw honey — super hydrating and very very gently exfoliating.
Lip color you feel most confident in? Red! (Specifically, a true, bold, medium red, like OCC NSFW or Urban Decay F-Bomb. I’d rather it lean a touch warm versus cool if I have a choice, but blue-based neutral reds are great.)
Your favorite feature to emphasize? Even though my lips are the only place I go really bold, I feel like they aren’t necessarily “emphasized” that way — whereas black mascara (and bonus eyeliner) is enough to really frame my eyes and make them pop.
Love F-Bomb.
Your skin tone/coloring: above with freckles, green/gray/blue eyes, warm brown hair.
Best hydrating mask? I love any of the 7 Wonders Sheet Masks. They’re lovely.
Lip color you feel most confident in? Mauves and berry reds. Bite Beauty Virgo is my power lip and I LOVE Tom Ford Casablanca.
Your favorite feature to emphasize? Eyes. They’re my best feature and the color changes depending on what color eyeshadow I wear.
Your skin tone/coloring: Light neutral skin tone, green eyes, s&p hair
Best hydrating mask? I’ve never used a mask!
Lip colors you feel most confident in? Specifically speaking, Laura Mercier Velour Lovers Lipstick in Boudoir (a darker fuchsia, which I was absolutely crushed to find out was recently discontinued) and Chanel Pirate (the best red ever!).
Your favorite feature to emphasize? My eye color.
Your skin tone/coloring: Light-medium warm yellow undertones, dark brown hair and eyes
Best hydrating mask? Paula’s Choice Radiance Renewal Mask
As a person with combination skin and breakouts, without pigmentation issues (except few acne marks), adding a mask in my routine never made sense. In my early twenties I would run away from the idea of a hydrating mask. And then I tried a sample of the Radiance Renewal Mask… I simply got hooked on how my skin felt in the morning after… smooth, plumped, hydrated but not oily
Lip color you feel most confident in? MAC Diva
Is there any more to say? 😆 I’m obsessed with this color I must say; but I definitely don’t wear it enough.
Your favorite feature to emphasize? Eyes
Not necessarily because eyes are my favorite feature or that I like doing eye make-up specifically. But I think that I look odd without emphasizing my eyes; I wouldn’t say odd in an unattractive way… it’s just I need to have my eyes defined, they’re small, I have hooded eye lids and they’re positioned too centered. And it’s like… there are many people with small eyes or hooded eye lids that look amazing with no eye make-up… mine just look too odd. 😀
Paula’s Choice Radiance Renewal Mask is excellent! I got a full size as a free sample when I placed a big order in the past. Great for slap on and leave overnight. I have to use at least two pumps on my face and my neck.
Your skin tone/coloring: Under my name; magenta/red hair; hazel green eyes
Best hydrating mask? I don’t know. I only use them if I get a sheet mask GWP or something.
Lip color you feel most confident in? Red or fuchsia
Your favorite feature to emphasize? My eyes. They’re large, almond-shaped, have a pretty mix of colors, and still have long lashes.
Your skin tone/colouring: Porcelain, with pink undertones
Best hydrating mask? Well, the only hydrating mask I have tried is the Skin Physics one to hydrate and moisturise your face and it did feel pretty good afterwards. I was worried that it might irritate my skin, but no – just left it feeling soft.
Lip color you feel most confident in? Bronzey, warm red browns – think CP Gallop, EA Perfect Bronze. Not too dark, just a lovely russet shade.
Your favorite feature to emphasize? I think my skin because I have looked after it, it is in a fairly good condition for my age. Also my eye colour, as it is a mix of grey and blue and MUA’s have often told me that they have never seen this shade before.
Your skin tone/coloring: Warm & fair
Best hydrating mask? Etude House Hyaluronic Acid sheet mask, cheap, effective, non irritating, plumps, firms & smoothes.
Lip color you feel most confident in? Mauves & pinks.
Your favorite feature to emphasize? EYES!
Your skin tone/coloring: fair/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
Best hydrating mask? I don’t use masks of any sort. I do use L’Oreal’s RevitaLift 10% glycolic acid and 1.5% hyaluronic acid serums now, though.
Lip color you feel most confident in? Red, pink, or copper.
Your favorite feature to emphasize? Eyes or lips-usually both at once!
Your skin tone/coloring: Fair/Light, neutral undertone that lean cool
Best hydrating mask? Two by Sisley: Mask Givre and Black Rose Mask. Cheaper option: Avene
Lip color you feel most confident in? Marie by Chanel
Your favorite feature to emphasize? I was told my skin looks awesome (I spend more time on skincare than makeup) so I try to back off foundations or concealers unless I’m trying to cover up redness or muddiness.
Your skin tone/coloring: fair, cool
Best hydrating mask? Shiseido Ibuki sleeping mask
Lip color you feel most confident in? MAC Craving (a plum “MLBB” shade) or Smashbox Red Rage – my perfect, “confidence in a tube” shade with a wonderful texture as well
Your favorite feature to emphasize? lately, it’s been my skin.
