Did you make any beauty-related resolutions for 2021? How are they going?

Did you make any beauty-related resolutions for 2021? How are they going?

Nope, no real resolutions! I often have goals, in general, but they’re more fluid and ongoing. In beauty, I don’t usually have many goals (I tend to have more life/financial ones).

If you had to start your collection over, what would you do differently?

If you had to start your collection over, what would you do differently?

In general, I’d just be able to hone in on the types of products I really enjoy and not have to spend so much money (and time) experimenting. For me, one area would be tools as I’ve really found what I love, and it’s harder and harder to replace or declutter because they’re all great… I...

What was the last product you purchased because someone else wore it or recommended it?

Does your makeup reflect your mood?

Does your makeup reflect your mood?

Sometimes! I think if I’m feeling lower energy or am finding it harder to self-motivate, I am actually more likely to reach for a palette that I really love to wear for photos vs. something new (I’ll just remove and redo it with something new after the photos).

Does your hair color influence your makeup?

Does your hair color influence your makeup?
