I prefer liquid or pot. I find both are easier to get just the right coverage out of! Liquid is more versatile for me because I can sheer it out, build it up, etc.

How do you apply your foundation currently?

How do you apply your foundation currently?

I typically use liquid foundation and mix two shades and/or use it with a liquid luminizer, so I’ll get it on my fingertip, mix, and then dab it over my cheeks, forehead, and chin. I’ll use a synthetic brush–a variety of them–to apply in more stippling and dabbing motions from top to bottom.

Chanel remains the best overall experience for receiving a package for me, as they typically come in branded, reusable pouches or a branded, thick cardboard box (which I reuse). The receipt is in a wax-sealed envelope. Sephora has tended to give me pretty quick and painless customer service for all...

How do you feel about refillable lipsticks?

How do you feel about refillable lipsticks?

I love the concept, though sometimes the pricing on refills doesn’t seem to reflect the cost of packaging–like the refill seems too expensive on its own. I’m not someone who routinely finishes a lipstick, though, so I don’t think I’ve purchased a refill to actually refill because I ran...
