Guerlain. I feel like their launches are a little erratic, ultra predictable, and I barely hear about them these days. As someone who’s favorite brand used to be Guerlain, I’m barely paying attention to them.
I really love the Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Flawless Filters! I’ve been trying to wear them whenever I’m not testing foundation. I use them mixed with foundation or applied shortly after liquid foundation for a dewier finish.
Right now, I’m using belif’s cleansing oil to get the bulk of, and then I use a cotton swab or pad with Shiseido’s Eye Makeup Remover to get the last bits off (usually eyeliner, mascara, etc.).
I don’t think I’d say “stood out” in the sense that it was really interesting/unique/different, but it did stand out to me because of the quality: Urban Decay’s Beached Collection. Loved the palette, loved the eyeliners (duh), and loved the lipsticks. Seriously so many products I’d wear...
This question was asked years ago, and my answer then was a MAC holiday palette, but I had no idea which one… and I still have no idea. My guess would be circa MAC Holiday 2005.
I think my ability to combine color has gotten worse over the years because I wear so much that clashes on a daily basis that my “eye” feels weaker for all of it now. I think my blending has improved, and I’m better at incorporating a mix of finishes into a look. I am better at applying base...
It’s all over the map! I usually wear a tinted moisturizer, do a more natural brow, and a coat or two of mascara with balm or gloss on my lips. If I need to have more makeup when I land, then I’ll wear a whole lot more but I prefer to wear less while traveling.
It has to deliver superior performance across the board, be easy to work with, and have functional packaging (if it’s aesthetically pleasing to me, even better, but I’m primarily focused on quality). I should have no complaints about it, though I’m nitpicky and can usually find a “con”...
I don’t know that I have a go-to, but presently, I’ve been wearing Tom Ford Fougere d’Argent (which is not a “summer” scent really) since I first tried it. Otherwise, I do reach for Tom Ford Neroli Portofino or the Neroli Portofino Intense.
If I’m planning on swimming, no, but if I’m just wading or getting my feet wet, possibly! If it’s super hot or humid outside and I expect to be outdoors for awhile, I won’t, but if it’s like hanging out at my parents’ house and dipping my toes in for a few minutes, I’m probably...
