Nope! I definitely prefer to be totally bare-faced when working out or doing any type of activity where I know I’ll be working up a decent sweat. If it was just a walk around the neighborhood (and not in 110+ degree heat), some makeup would be fine but not a requirement.
Generally, yes, because I very rarely swatch/test in stores and am just there to purchase (I’m not really browsing… more like a mission!). If I was planning to get color matched or wanted to try something on, I’d likely go with lighter makeup.
In general, whichever performs better; like if it was a pretty color but $30 and yet was so-so in quality and the dupe for it was $5 but A+, I’d rather the dupe. Otherwise, I’m fortunate to be in the position to support the originator, so if both were equal, I’d most likely purchase the...
I haven’t! I’m surprised that I haven’t fallen into a rut at any point, but I can’t recall falling out of love or disliking makeup.
Yes and no! It’s my job, but I do feel like it’s still a hobby in so many ways because I really enjoy what I do, so it feels more like a hobby than work.

I usually pair warm tones with warmer eye/cheek makeup and cool tones with cooler eye/cheek makeup. I tend to pull from some tone that was on cheeks or on eyes, so if I had green eye makeup and coral blush, I’d likely opt for a coral lip.
If it’s a new, more innovative product, then I’ll give it a few tries per the brand’s instructions. If it’s a color or type of formula I know can be tricky, I’ll try it a few times. If it’s a pretty standard product (like a copper eyeshadow), then little to none – I’ll try it damp...
MAC Pigments… they were just magical to me as someone who didn’t get to wear makeup growing up. When I first played with them in my first year of college, it was the start of a love affair that hasn’t wavered since! I think it was just all the color and texture, how reflective eyeshadow was,...
TRUE holy grails feel so right that I don’t feel compelled to keep the hunt up, but if there’s something new that releases that gets a lot of love from people I trust then I start to wonder if maybe it is better and might try it. That being said, I do have a really innate desire to try a lot of...
