I N F I N I T Y and beyond. Only Mellan knows, assuming he can count that high! Fun fact: there are over 14,000 lip swatches in the database.
It might as well be infinite. Every time I see an influencer post their “collection,” I live and hope for someone who makes ME feel better about how much I have… and still, I wait. I have at least two dozen “go-tos” in my vanity drawer alone, which I would say are the ones used...
Charlotte Tilbury Light (2) Hollywood Flawless Filter, Hourglass Diffused Light Ambient Lighting Powder, Urban Decay Perversion Eyeliner, Fenty Beauty Afternoon Snack/Mo’ Hunny Duo, Natasha Denona Bloom Mini Highlighting Blush.
Surprisingly, it’s easier to think about permanent favorites that I’d be sad to see go than limited edition ones. Cover FX Monochromatic Blush Duos–so pretty and really versatile–in general! Marc Jacobs Flesh & Fantasy AirBlush has been a go-to, more “neutral” blush (when I don’t know...
You might expect me to speak of a certain Pat McGrath palette, but one, I do have a backup (to my shame) and second, I don’t know if it’s possible for ME to ever finish an eyeshadow palette before it’s ready to crumble into dazzling dust anyway!! So, I’d rather give you three picks of mine...
I’m very fortunate that the more recent events hasn’t turned my everyday routine upside down, inside out, and then set it all on fire. Not going anywhere is pretty much the norm for me, so my routine hasn’t changed and doesn’t normally change. My routine has stayed the same: throw as many...
I love, love, LOVE molten, melting kind of metallic eyeshadows, which is partially why I have such an affinity to Pat McGrath’s Decadence (I hope that by constantly bringing it up, the Powers That Be will make it permanent, okay???).
I love playing with Sydney Grace eyeshadows because the range is...
I love the evening out effect of foundation, so it’s definitely whatever my go-to base is at the moment. Lately, that’s a mix of Natasha Denona Face Glow (older version) with La Mer The Soft Fluid. Though I don’t consider myself that into brows, I definitely feel like filling them in and...
I find it helpful to establish a routine to wash to begin with, e.g. every Sunday. Then it becomes a regular chore and doesn’t get put off until I’m out of brushes! I recommend using a gentler soap for natural hair (avoid alcohol-based cleansers as much as possible, which does dry out brushes...
The most obvious is just to… let it happen and wipe away the mess, THEN apply base products. For me, this is the way I tend to go about it since it’s easy, effective, and doesn’t waste loose powder or anything like that. But for a lil’ fallout here and there, you can gently diffuse away with...
