When you want your makeup to last extra long, how does your routine change?

If I’m going to be outside a lot, particularly in heat or doing a more physical activity, then I’ll probably wear a lot less and go for minimal makeup and opt for waterproof mascara/eyeliner and a long-wear lip color (like a liquid matte) or else a gloss that can be reapplied without a mirror. ...

Do you tend to wear warmer or cooler-toned eye products?

Do you tend to wear warmer or cooler-toned eye products?

What was the last launch that disappointed you?

What was the last launch that disappointed you?

MAC x Nicopanda – I just can’t get over the quality of the eyeshadow/cheek palettes. (I’m also writing this answer in late April, so there might be a worse launch between then and now…)
