When do you prefer a cream or liquid product over a powder one?

When do you prefer a cream or liquid product over a powder one?

If I want more of a stained effect, cream/liquid blushes definitely get there more easily (and tend to look better). For more glittery eyeshadows, liquids and creams tend to have better binding, adhesion, and hold compared to powder eyeshadows–though the cream-powder hybrids are quite good these...

I’d love to see what products Kim Kardashian’s makeup/skincare routine was like from start to finish, particularly since she has her own brand now, so it’d be interesting to see what brands were mixed in with her own products.

What is the most essential step in your makeup routine?

What is the most essential step in your makeup routine?

In a very minimal look, I feel like it’s base — like a sheerer foundation or tinted moisturizer, but for a more “wear everything except the kitchen sink” kind of look, then I feel like brows make a huge, huge difference in tying everything together.

If you could create a makeup collection based off of food, what would it be?

If you could create a makeup collection based off of food, what would it be?

I think I’d have to do something off of dessert… I have a total weakness for dessert. Colors and textures inspired by various desserts, like jelly/mousse eyeshadows, sparkling (sprinkling) eyeshadows, glossy, juicy lips (like glazed fruit!), and so on. (Though I imagine people might want...

Do you layer fragrances?

Do you layer fragrances?

Very occasionally — I’m definitely not adverse to it, but I tend to reach for just one at a time. There aren’t any particular combos I’ve done often enough that I can actually remember a pairing that worked well!

Have you ever turned someone into a beauty enthusiast?

Have you ever turned someone into a beauty enthusiast?

I have to imagine that at least once in the last decade that someone came to Temptalia and then became more enamored with beauty/makeup… but in terms of people I interact with in person, I don’t think so. My sister really likes doing her nails, but I don’t think I’m responsible for that!
