Best every day mascara? Maybelline The Falsies Flared
Skin tone/coloring – very fair with neutral/slightly cool undertones
Eyeliner for a pop of color – I like the urban decay liquid liners as well as the 24/7 glide ons. The sephora brand pencils aren’t bad either. I couldn’t pick just one color though!
Under eye concealer – Always trying new things and switching between what I have dependant on the day. Overall guess I’d have to go with the nars radiant creamy concealer. Also pixy’s color corrector is nice if used lightly.
Everyday mascara – The original volume express collosal works super nicely, although I no longer use it. Pretty stuck on better than sex from too faced, as well as chanel le volume. Wouldn’t consider those everyday options by most people’s standards though.

Best eyeliner for a pop of color? Purple or burgundy. I know burgundy probably sounds a little odd, but on green eyes it looks amazing.
Best concealer for under eye circles? I’ve recently fallen in love with the NYX correcting under eye concealer. It’s a lot cheaper than most of the similar products I’ve seen and it’s a miracle worker.
Best every day mascara? I’m into Maybelline Mega Plush lately. If a mascara flakes on me you can see it from a mile away and that’s never an issue with this one.

Best every day mascara? YSL Babydoll

Best eyeliner for a pop of color- I don’t really wear colored eyeliner.
Best concealer for under eyes- Bobbi Brown creamy concealer (and corrector).
Best every day mascara- Benefit They’re Real mascara, it’s the only mascara I’ve found that keeps my naturally straight eyelashes curled (when I use it with an eyelash curler).
Coloring: Snow White (Character)
Pop of Color: I like Sephora Collection Banana Split
Concealer for Undereyes: Maybelline Fit Me Concealer… when I don’t leave my color match in another state and end up having to use the wrong shade since I’m too stubborn to buy a new one but refuse to look COMPLETELY dead.
Everyday Mascara: Maybelline Lash Discovery. Tiny brush, lots length & body, hard to mess up even on the earliest of mornings.
Your skin tone/coloring: Very fair/neutral; auburn hair, hazel/green eyes
Best eyeliner for a pop of color? Silkissime Cobalt, UD Woodstock, UD Deep End, UD Voodoo, Kat von D Lightning Liner in Poe, Nyx Studio Liquid Liner in Extreme Green.

Best eyeliner for a pop of color? Urban Decay 24/7 eye pencil in Abyss (bright metallic blue shimmer with blue micro sparkle) or Chaos (bright cobalt blue matte with slight floating pearl), or NARS Eye Paint in Interstellar (bright silver)
Best concealer for under eye circles? IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Undereye in ‘neutral medium’ — the ‘light’ shade is a bit too light/yellow for me
Best every day mascara? IT Cosmetics Hello Lashes on upper lashes, IT Cosmetics Tightline mascara primer on lower lashes — when I want more drama, I use both the primer and the mascara on both top and bottom lashes. I also use Anastasia Beverly Hills Lash Genius waterproof top coat because every mascara (except tubing mascaras) smudges on me (even waterproof mascaras smudge on me) — it prevents smudging with almost every mascara I’ve ever tried it with. It has definitely changed my mascara life — before I found it I could only wear the limited selection of tubing mascaras available in the U.S., and some of them flaked on me!

Best every day mascara? Covergirl Flamed Out mascara
Your skin tone/coloring:
Fairest neutral – Koh Gen Do Maifanshi Moisture Foundation in 001 etc. Too pale to register on the fancy Dior contraption that they use to match you to a foundation colour!
Best eyeliner for a pop of color?
I love both teal and purple. It’s hard to choose between the two but at the moment I’ve been going for purple a lot more. Saying that, I did actually wear teal today, so I can’t really pick one over the other!
Best concealer for under eye circles?
The two I’ve found that work best for me are the Bobbi Brown Tinted Eye Brightener (I use Porcelain Peach) and the Tarte Maracuja Creaseless Concealer (I use Fair). They both set really well and don’t migrate into my fine lines. I tend to use the Bobbi Brown one most of the time only because it sets to more of a satin finish and the Tarte one still retains some shine. Both are great options, however, I would love something closer in colour to my beloved Laura Mercier Secret Concealer in 1. It’s very dark compared to my skintone but it cancels out my dark circles so well. It does crease on me though so I don’t use it much anymore.
Best every day mascara?
I still love my L’Oréal Voluminous in Carbon Black. I’ve tried lots of mascaras and I’ve not found one that performs much better. It’s as good as many of the more expensive ones at less than half the price. I don’t splurge on mascara, not least of all because you need to replace it every three months or so. Some high-end cosmetics are worth the money but for me mascara isn’t one of them.
Light pink under stones NC20
Either mildew by UD or cobalt by stila
