I have some go-tos that I have segmented out, which aren’t in any particular order, as it’s about 15-20 products, which are more “wearable” and “everyday” shades that work well with a lot of looks. The rest are organized by brand and by formula in my full storage.

Oh, I’m sure. I don’t think in a conscious way but I’ve certainly changed techniques or enjoyed a different look/aesthetic based on how popular it gets over time. Plus, I inevitably end up wearing a lot of on-trend color combinations and products since I am fortunate to be testing those new...
For most products, it doesn’t make a big difference to me personally but that’s as someone who does not expect or aspire to finish anything due to the nature of my job. If I was just a consumer, I’d likely feel different to an extent – I don’t need the buy most products in bulk but...
