How do you pack your makeup when you travel?

How do you pack your makeup when you travel?

I use medium-sized makeup bags (nothing special, just zippered pouches) for things like quads, blush compacts eyelash curlers, etc. I’ll use a Smithfolio for brushes and eyeliners. If I’m taking any larger palettes, I’ll put bubble wrap or some paper towel on top of the products (between the...

Do you do any prep before applying lip color?

Do you do any prep before applying lip color?

I keep my lips exfoliated, so I use a lip scrub a couple of times a week and keep my lips drenched in lip balm whenever I’m not testing something!

What was the last makeup look you wore and loved how it turned out?

What was the last makeup look you wore and loved how it turned out?

I really enjoyed the way several of the Sydney Grace summer eyeshadows came together in a colorful tropical look (yellow, green, teal) with a pop of pink (here).

Do you keep track of what makeup you've worn or put together?

Do you keep track of what makeup you've worn or put together?

Yes, I do, since I end up posting as a “look” here or so I know what I tested in a particular set of photos! In a non-blogging dream land, I don’t think I would keep track as much – maybe if there was a really excellent look or combo but not everyday.

What was the last product that you tried to but couldn't fall in love with?

Urban Decay x Game of Thrones collection in general. It was hard to be excited/enthused about what I know many readers were excited about after having tried ’em.

What three products would you love an endless supply of?

What three products would you love an endless supply of?

It’d have to be skincare… whatever was the priciest in the bunch, that one! I’m not married to any specific skincare products as I still rotate through and test new products, but here are three that I’ve used and love… and that could break the bank: Farmarcy Green Clean (makeup remover,...

Have your go-to brush styles/types changed over time?

Have your go-to brush styles/types changed over time?

Yes, for sure! I have adapted and tweaked my technique over time, so the brushes have done so as well. Some more memorable changes are things like using smaller crease brushes for applying color directly into the crease while using more rounded (and less pointed) crease brushes in general (easier...

How do you handle days when your makeup just isn't coming together?

How do you handle days when your makeup just isn't coming together?

If I CAN, I’d just take it all off, put on tinted moisturizer, fill in brows, and pop a layer of mascara on and call it a day. If I can’t, I just live with it looking worse for the wear. I’m just lucky that I’m inside my house most of the time so only my poor husband has to see it!
