I’ll be answering in the same spirit as yesterday: in the form of recommendations for spring/summer! MAC Fairly Precious Extra Dimension Blush ($29), MAC Cheek Bits Extra Dimension Blush ($29), Sephora Costa Rica Bronzer ($17), ColourPop Perception Palette ($23), Pat McGrath Sublime Bronze...
I’m going to give my answer in the form of recommendations for spring/summer — Wet ‘n’ Wild Baked Blush in Don’t Flutter Yourself ($4.99), ColourPop Semi-Precious Palette (on sale for $18).
Trial and error for the most part! I read through some photo-by-photo tutorials here and there, but it was largely just trying to replicate the type of placements/styles I saw others posting on Livejournal’s mac_cosmetics community.
Here are a few that have earned my “coveted” Temptalia Recommende seal of approval this year… Kevyn Aucoin’s Neo Blush Trios (Sunset & Rose Cliff), Huda Beauty’s Coral Palette, ColourPop’s Festival Pressed Powder Shadows (La Playa, Slay-farer, Formation, Night Show, Deja Boo,m Bratty,...

For me, it’s definitely putting on foundation. I just really like how even my skin looks post-foundation that it always makes me feel a little “me but better” in a way.
I’d opt for something fresh-faced, luminous but not oily, and neutral all-around. Very “no makeup” makeup but certainly a lot more than one would think, haha. Unless, of course, it was an interview that was driven by makeup skills, then I’d go much bolder/colorful as appropriate, but...
