Your skin tone/coloring: Fair with neutral undertones and freckles, green/gray/blue eyes, warm brown hair.
Last eyeshadow palette you used? Love/leave? ND Star Palette which I LOVE.
Last cheek color you used? Love/leave? Wet n Wild MegaGlo Stick Blush in Floral Majority. I love it, but I hate the smell, so a little of both.
Last lip product you used? Love/leave? Bite Luminous Creme Lipstick in Musk. LOVE. It’s my perfect nude and I’m so sad they don’t make this color and formula anymore.
Your skin tone/coloring:
Light neutral skin tone, green eyes, salt & pepper hair
Last eyeshadow palette you used? Love/leave?
Colourpop It’s a Princess Thing. It’s an ok palette. Not a love, not a leave, just a like. My main problem with it is that it doesn’t have a good transition shade for my coloring. I think I’d like it a lot better if it had a shade like MAC Malt in it.
Last cheek color you used? Love/leave?
MAC Mineralize in Sweet Enough. I wouldn’t say I love it, but I do like it a lot. It’s my second most-used blush, after NARS Orgasm.
Last lip product you used? Love/leave?
Today I’m wearing Tarte Salt Lyfe. I’m not a huge fan of this one and rarely ever wear it. The color is very pretty, but I have other mauves I like a lot better. It just feels kind of waxy to me.
I’ve signed in three times, but the website still won’t acknowledge I have an account ☹️
Skintone: medium Warm (MAC NC37, GA Luminous Silk 6.5)
Eyeshadow palettes I used this morning: The new Pat McGrath mini palette in Dark Star and Huda Desert Dusk. I love them both! The Huda palette is a workhorse in my collection, I use it nearly every week.
Cheek colors I’m wearing today: Mood Flush and Nude Glow from the Hourglass Edit Unlocked Palette. Love ❤️.
Lips: Marc Jacobs Enamoured Lipgloss in Ch Ch Changes. Like very much.
I like those HG blushes too, I think I finally found a dupe for the old Mac Warm Soul in Nude Glow.
Nude Glow is so very beautiful?
I’m a NW25 with pink undertones.
Last eye palette: Naked3. I’ve decided I love it but initially almost returned it a few times. I wasn’t seeing great pigmentation in indoor light, but in natural light found that it creates nice depth and shimmer (when desired, which is often) while looking not too “made up”. It’s now my go-to when I want to look pretty but can’t decide what palette to use.
Last cheek product: Tarte Exposed. Love. The formula makes my skin look softly matte and the soft color brings life to my cheeks. This color builds well and I enjoy knowing I can do a soft hint of color or full on glam for photos within a minute of two. It blends out well regardless of how much I use.
Last lip product: I’m gonna cheat and name 2 because this morning I only used bkr Paris Water Balm. Love. It smells clean and slightly feminine but not sweet at all and nourishes my lips without the tingly feeling of my burts bees. It absorbs in well and leaves my lips feeling moistened, plump with the softest sheen. I recommend it to anyone looking for a good quality balm to brighten up your day.
Last lip color I used was Half Caff from the Mac nude holiday set. LOVE the color and the coverage and initial feel of wear, but it may be drying my lips out (hence the balm only this morning). I can’t judge it yet because it’s only been a couple days, it’s been windy and I have been traveling so I’m not sure what’s to blame. I made my niece try the lipstick last night and will check on her lip condition later, lol.
Your skin tone/coloring: Light medium, yellow undertones. Dark brown hair & eyes.
Last eyeshadow palette you used? Love/leave? Makeup Revolution Basic Mattes. Love.
Last cheek color you used? Love/leave? Mehron Lip Cream in Petal Pink, definitely love!
Last lip product you used? Love/leave? Mecca Max sheer lip colour in Mood Booster – leave. It’s nice enough and I appreciate a good sheer but there is better out there for me 🙂
1.) Fair-Neutral
2.) Kathleen Lights X ColourPop Dream St. Palette – Love
3.) Ulta Mineral Blush in Peony – Love
4.) Clinique Pop Lipstick in Nude Pop – Love
I was having a “I’m going to wear products I love” day 🙂
Your skin tone/coloring: Deep with yellow undertones
Last eyeshadow palette you used? Love/leave? ABH Norvina I love this palette! There is only one shade in this palette that I am not crazy about and that is Soul. It’s just not a color I would wear, I think it’s a bit too cool for me. I love that this palette is 50% shimmer and the mattes are warm goodness.
Last cheek color you used? Love/leave? MAC Ambering Rose. I love it and it has been a staple of mine for years. I have repurchased it at least three times maybe more.
Last lip product you used? Love/leave? Smashbox FushiaFlash Matte lipstick. It’s a bright pink. Hmmm I have had it for a while and it’s ok but I don’t love it. I guess I would leave it. I have other matte pinks I wear more often because I just like them more.
Your skin tone/coloring: It’s next to my name!
Last eyeshadow palette you used? Pat McGrath Bronze Temptation MTHRSHP palette.
Love/leave? For the most part, love, I suppose. Except for the green shade. Which has been a nightmare to get it to stay put and not fade and crease! To be perfectly honest, this is my least favorite out of the 4 PMG palettes I have purchased.
Last cheek color you used? From my Nars Hot Tryst Cheek Palette, I mixed Bowery and Adrenaline for a splendid peachy cheek, with both highlighters in the palette mixed together for a gorgeous glow!
Love/leave? LOVE!!!
Last lip product you used? Pat McGrath Blitztrance lipstick in Flesh Fatale. It is everything I anticipated it would be on me!
Love/leave? ? Love it!
Ooo, Nancy, do you have the original or latest (or both) Subliminal palette and if so your thoughts?
Huh. I used Bronze Temptation for the first time today, and the green wore like iron for me. I used UDPP in Enigma, packed the green on the lid with a synthetic brush, and spritzed everything with setting spray as usual.
Rachel, I’m going to try this green over UDPP in Eden that I still have, thank goodness. I don’t think it plays well with stickier primer formula like my favorite one by Nyx. Because, I adore this green eyeshadow, as it nearly matches my eyes (probably yours, too!). So not being able to get it to last gave me a chill. And not in a good way. All the other shades do perfectly fine, though. So strange!
I hope the drier UD primer formula works with the green for you. I know it would look stunning on you!
Rachel, used UDPP underneath it yesterday, and it lasted all the way until I took it off around 8 hrs. later! No creasing whatsoever. Made for a gorgeous halo eye (sides & lower lashline) with Metallurgy in the center lid! Thank you for reminding me of how well UDPP works during non-allergy eyes times of year ?
I’m so glad it worked! 🙂 🙂 🙂 Your look sounds gorgeous!
Your skin tone/coloring: Fairest, neutral to cool undertones
Last eyeshadow palette you used? Love/leave? Too Faced Just Peachy Mattes – Love! I tend to wear way more mattes than shimmer and tend to like peach/pink tones so this is basically my dream palette. I also used the hourglass scattered light shadow at the same time (so not a palette but a single) and I like this as well, though I do think it’s a bit overrated for my personal taste.
Last cheek color you used? Love/leave? Becca blushed copper – love the idea and colour of this product but it doesn’t really suit my skintone (though that doesn’t stop me from wearing it!)
Last lip product you used? Love/leave? Charlotte Tilbury Pillowtalk – I like this lip color but I don’t think I get the hype. It’s pretty, yes, but I don’t think it’s groundbreaking. But if we’re going with the dichotomy of love/leave I’d sort it into love because I do enjoy wearing it.
Your skin tone/coloring: fair, cool
Last eyeshadow palette you used? Love/leave? Smashbox Punked – LOVE
Last cheek color you used? Love/leave? Dior Rosy Glow Awakening Blush – LOVE
Last lip product you used? Love/leave? Smashbox Red Rage – LOVE (I now own 3 tubes of this beauty)
Oooh I think this survey!
Your skin tone/coloring: NC25
Last eyeshadow palette you used? Love/leave? Too Faced Semi Sweet Chocolate Bar Palette. Love!
Last cheek color you used? Love/leave? Chanel Coco Code Blush Harmony. Love because Chanel and it was a gift.

Laura Mercier Artist Eye Palette, love but don’t think I’ll repurchase
Last cheek color you used? Love/leave?
Benefit Coralista, Love – just repurchased because it looks like they’re discontinuing it and my last one was 3+ years old
Last lip product you used? Love/leave?
Fresh Rose lip tint. LOVE. Holy Grail lip product.
Your skin tone/coloring: light, MAC NC 15-20, med brown hair and eyes
Last eyeshadow palette you used?
Pat Mcgrath Mothership Sublime Bronze Ambition Palette. Picked up at the Sephora VIB sale.
Love/leave? I wouldn’t say I love it but it’s new to me. I like it. I wouldn’t say I’m blown away and I’m still skeptical PML is all that but another hyped up brand that’s the it thing at the moment. It’s decent but I get a similar quality with brands that are less expensive but anyway …
Last cheek color you used? Becca Flowerchild.
Love/leave? It’s a very pretty color and I often forget I have it. It’s one of those things when I do use it, I’m like why don’t I wear this more though
Last lip product you used? Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Ultra Lipstick in Cameo. I picked it up at TJ Maxx. I don’t even know where to find EA except online which I rarely do. It’s very nice formula in very pretty luxe packing.
Love/leave? I love it. It’s nice to find such a gem at TJ Maxx!! A unique shade for me. A beigey gold.
Your skin tone/coloring: fair/cool undertones, dark brown hair and eyes
Last eyeshadow palette you used? Love/leave? PMG Subversive/Love
Last cheek color you used? Love/leave? Hourglass Unlocked Palette, Nude Glow Blush, Love the whole palette.

Last eyeshadow palette you used? Love/leave? Huda Sapphire Obsessions. I just got it Sunday and this is the first time I’ve used it, but I think it’ll end up being a love.
Last cheek color you used? Love/leave? Tarte Amazonian Clay blush-Unstoppable. Love.
Last lip product you used? Love/leave? Kat Von D Studded Kiss Creme lipstick-Crush. Love.
???? ???? ????/????????: Very fair with neutral undertones; magenta/red hair; hazel/green eyes.
I woke up late, and ended up doing my makeup in the car with my “emergency makeup bag” I always keep in my purse.
???? ????????? ??????? ??? ????? ????/?????? I used two together: 1) Sleek When the Sun Goes Down Mini Palette. I like it a lot, but it doesn’t really have a good crease shade for me. The copper shade, Manhattan, is sensational, though. 2) MUFE Studio Case (depotted into a small Zpalette with a few e/s samples). LOVE! It’s one of my all time favorite palettes.
???? ????? ????? ??? ????? ????/?????? Seraphine Botanicals Blush Mini in Happy Hibiscus. Love: On me, it adjusts to a warm plum. It blends well and is long lasting. It’s very impressive for being vegan, especially.
???? ??? ??????? ??? ????? ????/?????? MAC Lipstick in Finally Free. LOVE! It’s a gorgeous shade that goes with almost everything. I’ve been using it a lot lately.
I last used my Thrive Causemetics Focus Eyeshadow palette in 3 (gorgeous!!!!) and Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush in Luminous Flush (the best blush I’ve ever used and the best color—-it’s the closest to my natural blush shade) and Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Ophelia and Dose of Colors Matte Liquid Lipstick in Nude Chica (iluvsaraii x Dose of Colors]
I forgot to mention my coloring. I’m awfully sorry about that! I have porcelain skin with olive yellow undertones.
Your skin tone/colouring: Porcelain, with pink undertones.
Last eyeshadow palette you used? Love/leave? Lorac Pro Metals Palette (today) and I definitely love it!

Last lip product you used? Katy Perry Matte Lipstick in Sphynx
Love/leave? Love!

Love them all
Your skin tone/coloring: Yellow-neutral NC 37, Filorga Flash-Nude 02- Nude Gold
Last eyeshadow palette you used? Love/leave? Huda New Nude (Definitely a keeper!!!)
Last cheek color you used? Love/leave? Surratt Artistique Blush in Cantaloup & Duchess (beautiful colors; however, I wouldn’t purchase them again even though they are subtle and smooth because for much less Sleek later came out with a similar palette called Californ.I.A, and their’s is much less expensive and very pigmented. My Surratt trio includes the aforementioned plus Ponceau. Of course, Sleek’s doesn’t have the fair Duchess color, but I could live without it since on my complexion it doesn’t do much.)
Last lip product you used? Love/leave? Guerlain Rouge G in n°2 (Keep the casing & color, but leave the formula for this color, as it streaks).
Your skin tone/coloring: Fair-light neutral
Last eyeshadow palette you used?
I grabbed the new Huda Nudes palette before I’d even heard about it, or had seen any reviews, and I’m glad I did. It’s a beauty–a total winner.
You can go with a soft matte wash of colour for basic days and full glam for when you want. I’ve used it each day I’ve put on makeup since I got it.
Last cheek color you used?
I found tea rose powder blush by Milani in a small drugstore when I was out of town and love it. I actually bought three colours, but this one seems most suitable for the fall.
Last lip product you used?
Buxom White Russian gloss or Marc Jacobs Sugar Sugar hydrating gloss stick. I use them both all the time and love them. I’m only a big gloss person if it’s a nude hue, so I can put it on without looking in a mirror, because they have to be reapplied to frequently. The MJ is awesome for travel, because when your lips are always drying out on flights, this one can be applied like a chapstick and is really moisturizing.
Your skin tone/coloring: Fair and pink-toned, MAC NW 20
Last eyeshadow palette you used? Love/leave? Revlon Color Stay Quad in Addicted – also, my most used eyeshadow. Love it, and have hit serious pan on my second one. It is perfect for those who prefer softer color that has to be built up.
Last cheek color you used? Love/leave? MAC Lustre Lipstick in Milan Mode – love it
Last lip product you used? Love/leave? MAC Lustre Lipstick in Milan Mode – love it
Skin tone/coloring: fair-light w/ pink undertones, grey blue eyes, ashy blond hair.
Last eyeshadow palette, love/leave: Tarteist pro. It’s a like. Every shade I’ve tried is good besides the shimmers. I bought it and Soft Glam before I knew what my true eyeshadow needs and wants are.
Last cheek color, love/leave: Tarte Amazonian clay blush in Dollface. Love. At first, I wasn’t sure I bought the right shade. But I love that it’s a matte baby pink. It’s very wearable for me. I’m looking for a cream blush in a similar color.
Last lip product, love/leave: MAC Brave lipstick. This was my first MAC purchase and I absolutely love it. A great “my lips but better” shade. 🙂 I have an obsession with pink lipstick now.
Your skin tone/coloring: light neutral with slight pink undertones
Last eyeshadow palette you used? ABH sultry Love/leave? Love although I don’t think I’ve used it to it’s full potential yet
