What was your first memorable experience using makeup?

I remember going on a shopping spree and buying products from Benefit and MAC. I remember an eyeshadow brush from Benefit that I still have (though I don’t use it still). There were Benefit Show-offs, which were a loose, pearly shimmer. At MAC, I remember buying a few pans of eyeshadow!

What eyeshadow palette (that you own) inspires you the least?

What eyeshadow palette (that you own) inspires you the least?

I feel like I’ve done some combination of gold/copper/orange/plum/berry every week for the last year. I browse my own looks, and I’m like, “that’s the same, that’s the same, that’s the same, that’s the same.” It’s easier just to say that all the palettes that sit in that color...
