Your skin tone/coloring: Fair to light, I wanna say yellow now? I thought I was cool, but I think it was just the eczema telling me that.
Sticky or non-sticky lipgloss? Non-sticky!
Matte or luminous lipstick? I like cream finishes!
Satin or frost eyeshadow? Satin!
Your skin tone/coloring: Light/warm
Sticky or non-sticky lipgloss? Non-sticky
Matte or luminous lipstick? Both
Satin or frost eyeshadow? Satin
Your skin tone/coloring: MAC NW10, Sephora 2Y01
Sticky or non-sticky lipgloss? …non-sticky. Why would you want sticky lipgloss?
Matte or luminous lipstick? Luminous I suppose. I don’t want glitter, but matte can look too harsh against my super pale skin
Satin or frost eyeshadow? Satin. No real reason other than personal preference.
Your skin tone/coloring: NC20-NC30!
Sticky or non-sticky lipgloss? Non-sticky.
Matte or luminous lipstick? I looooove matte lipsticks!
Satin or frost eyeshadow? Not much of an eyeshadow person.. yet. 😆 I think I’d prefer satin for regular use, though.
Your skin tone/coloring: fair/light, not sure about the undertones.
Sticky or non-sticky lipgloss? Non-sticky, even if I have to re-apply it often.
Matte or luminous lipstick? Matte!
Satin or frost eyeshadow? Satin.
Your skin tone/coloring: Light/Medium with warm undertones (NC15/20)
Sticky or non-sticky lipgloss? Non-sticky lipgloss! Otherwise I tend to eat it off my lips. :/
Matte or luminous lipstick? Matte lipstick for sure. Lasts longer and looks better on my lips.
Satin or frost eyeshadow? Satin eyeshadows x 1000.
* Fairly light, very neutral; dark-featured.
* It doesn’t matter; both feel heavy on my lips, and wear-time is comparable with both, so I just choose based on color/appearance.
* Both; it just depends on my eye look.
* Again, both; it depends on what lip I want to go with.
I like to wear contrasting finishes/texures on different features. If I choose a matte lipstick on a given day, I’ll go out of my way to make sure I have some sparkle & shine on my eyes. Conversely, if there is a particular eye look I feel like doing, and the products run more matte/satin, I’ll go with something shimmery and/or glossy. However, if I have to look more conservative, I’ll go with a cream lipstick with a matte/satin eye.

Sticky or non-sticky lipgloss? Non sticky all the way. I can live with reapplying if it means my hair doesn’t stick.
Matte or luminous lipstick? I’ve been a cream or luminous fan for so long, but I’m starting to get hooked on satin finishes now… they just stay so much longer.

Matte or luminous lipstick? Cream (think Mac amplified creme) and for matte I prefer cream lipsticks that dry matte and opaque (highly recommend Sephora’s cream lipstain)

■Your skin tone/coloring: C3/NC20.
■Sticky or non-sticky lipgloss? Preferably non-sticky, but will compromise for longer staying power.
■Matte or luminous lipstick? MATTE ALL DAY!
■Satin or frost eyeshadow? Satin!
Your skin tone/coloring: Light to Medium
Sticky or non-sticky lipgloss? Not too sticky (I hate when my hair gets stuck to my face or I have to peel my lips apart to open my mouth) but I like it when there’s a little tackiness to it. I don’t believe it’s there if I can’t feel it
Matte or luminous lipstick? Luminous. But I usually put a gloss over it anyway, so it doesn’t really matter.
Satin or frost eyeshadow? Satin
Your skin tone/coloring: Fair, cool-toned
Sticky or non-sticky lipgloss? Non-sticky, for sure
Matte or luminous lipstick? Matte can look too dry and unappealing on me so I’ll say “luminous”, meaning more moist looking
Satin or frost eyeshadow? Either. I love shadows with a bit of glow, so satin, sheen or subtle frost are all good with me (for example, I love the sheen finish of “Barefoot” from the Tarte for Aqualilies palette of a few months ago….it has quite a reflective sheen but not chunky or gritty frost)

Sticky or non-sticky lipgloss? Non-sticky!
Matte or luminous lipstick? The glossier the better (don’t like shimmer/frost/glitter, though). I also prefer it to look very light and thin, almost gel like, on the lips. Not a fan of the thick creamy look.
Satin or frost eyeshadow? Satin. Although my ideal finish is somewhere in between. A bit more shiny that the typical satin, but not full on frost.
Your skin tone/coloring: FAIR/COOL-NEUTRAL
Sticky or non-sticky lipgloss? STICKY
Matte or luminous lipstick?LUMINOUS
Satin or frost eyeshadow?SATIN
Your skin tone/coloring: NW10-NW/C15
Sticky or non-sticky lipgloss? I don’t really have a preference. Sticky doesn’t feather as much on me, but non-sticky is, well, not sticky. 🙂
Matte or luminous lipstick? Matte all the way. I’ll wear lipgloss if I want shine.
Satin or frost eyeshadow? Satin. Frost looks terrible on my hooded eyes.
