What brand represents your aesthetic best?

What brand represents your aesthetic best?

I’m actually not sure that I have one – I almost feel like any idea of one has gotten lost over the years since I’m so used to wearing things that are probably not flattering on me or whatever that I don’t see things in the same way. I used to say Burberry for packaging, which I still like,...

What brand do you keep wanting to love but just can't seem to?

What brand do you keep wanting to love but just can't seem to?

Too Faced (too many misses for me to get enthused about their releases) and Bobbi Brown (either feels like a rehash or overpriced to me) come to mind.

What brands have you fallen in love with that you weren't into before?

What brands have you fallen in love with that you weren't into before?

Natasha Denona–I’ve come to appreciate the brand a bit more, even though it’s still very expensive–but I feel like they have made some improvements to their formulas that I don’t have the same issues I had with them before and end up reaching for ND products more during “off time” than...

What brands have you fallen out of love with?

What brands have you fallen out of love with?

I was musing about this the other day as I saw Guerlain had launched some new lip products, and I just felt so little inside… and they used to be a brand I would get excited to see new product from (particularly lip product at that!). They’ve just fallen off my radar in the last couple of...

What blush color have you always wanted but haven't been able to find?

What blush color have you always wanted but haven't been able to find?

I can get the effect by layering, but I’d love to see a rosy mauve with a hint of warm, brown in it paired with a luminous finish–pearly and definitely a little shiny but not metallic or glittery.

What eyeshadow color have you always wanted but haven't been able to find?

What eyeshadow color have you always wanted but haven't been able to find?

I don’t think there’s a particular color that comes to mind that I feel like my collection is really lacking… but I would LOVE to see more satin and pearl finish eyeshadows. I feel like it’s metallic or matte but so hard to find a good variety of colors in true satin and pearl finishes!

What lipstick color have you always wanted but haven't been able to find?

What lipstick color have you always wanted but haven't been able to find?

One of my all-time favorite lipstick shades is Guerlain’s Gems, which has been unavailable for quite sometime. I’ve found similar shades, but nothing quite in the same vein (the Rouge G finish has been hard to find in another formula, IMO). I’d love to see a medium to medium-dark coral that...

If you could start your own makeup brand, what products would you start with?

If you could start your own makeup brand, what products would you start with?

While trying to fall asleep a few days ago, I was struck by an idea of how I’d want to see a brand roll out their eyeshadow range. I’d love to start with a set of shades like this:

  • Back to Basics:  six matte and six shimmery “brow bone” shades (I put “brow bone” in quotations since some...

What brands do you love following on social media?

What brands do you love following on social media?

I like brands that showcase a variety of posts–behind-the-scenes, upcoming releases, customers using the product, tutorials, etc. Here are a few brands that came to mind: Sugarpill, Natasha Denona, MAC, Urban Decay, and Fenty.

What is the most you've spent (or would spend) on mascara?

What is the most you've spent (or would spend) on mascara?

Chantecaille’s Faux Cils is the priciest one I’ve tried at $72, and it’s supposed to help lashes grow, so there’s a bit of extra room for justifying the price. I used one tube fairly regularly but wasn’t really certain if there was growth or not. Louboutin’s mascara would be the next,...
