Rant & Rave: Liquid Eyeliner

Rant & Rave: Liquid Eyeliner

Share: Tell us what you love and hate about Liquid Eyeliner!

my answer: I think liquid eyeliner is often more about the applicator than the formula! There are a lot of great formulas out there, so then it comes down to the applicator.

Rant & Rave: Stick Blushes

Rant & Rave: Stick Blushes

Share: Tell us what you love and hate about Stick Blushes!

my answer: I feel like they seem convenient, but they still end up being a product that's better applied with fingertips or a brush, so then it's more like a potted cream blush - which I think has a larger surface area usually so it's easier...

Rant & Rave: Face Sunscreens

Share: Tell us what you love and hate about Face Sunscreens!

my answer: It can be quite the process to find one that has the right consistency, that isn't too expensive (so you can use it liberally without fear), doesn't leave a white cast, and can work with photography.

Rant & Rave: Lip Palettes

Rant & Rave: Lip Palettes

Share: Tell us what you love and hate about Lip Palettes!

my answer: I don't think I've ever come across one that I really like. If you use lip brushes normally, I think that's more the market it serves. I rarely use a lip brush to apply lipstick, so lipstick in a tube is more convenient for me.

Rant & Rave: Eyeshadow Palette Packaging

Rant & Rave: Eyeshadow Palette Packaging

Share: Tell us what you love and hate about how eyeshadow palettes are packaged!

my answer: I don't like bulky palettes that are heavy, thick, or unnecessarily large. I'd rather things like mascara, eyeliners, etc. be minimized with a palette so that it can be slimmer and more compact. I can always...

Rant & Rave: Duochrome Nail Polish

Rant & Rave: Duochrome Nail Polish

Share: Tell us what you love and hate about Duochrome Nail Polish!

my answer: I don't like them when they're really subtle, because I think they end up looking cooler in the bottle than on. I want it to be strong and noticeable no matter the lighting!

Rant & Rave: Blush and Cheek Stains

Rant & Rave: Blush and Cheek Stains

Share: Tell us what you love and hate about blush/cheek stains!

my answer: I feel like they so rarely look good paired with foundation, so you really have to have good skin naturally wear them and enjoy them!

Rant & Rave: Beauty Ads

Rant & Rave: Beauty Ads

Share: Tell us what you love and hate about Beauty Ads!

my answer: I like when brands put together interesting shoots with their latest products, but I think it's important that it is a cohesive campaign - I want to see breakdowns or breakouts of what was used, behind-the-scenes footage, etc. It helps...

Rant & Rave: BB Cream

Rant & Rave: BB Cream

Share: Tell us what you love and hate about BB Creams!

my answer: I feel short-changed that what we get sold as BB Creams here in the U.S. are largely NOT really BB creams, so I think it's muddied the waters and not given us the product that has done so well overseas. As a result, I just haven't been...
