I don’t really have one, since I wear products I’m testing all the time, so it varies a lot from day to day (or eye to eye!). But if I did have one, it would probably be: filled in brows, teal eyeliner, coral blush, rosy-brown or peach-brown lip, medium coverage foundation. If I had the time...
For cosmetics, I would love to see smaller sizes in some types of products, but they have to be large enough to work for the intended purpose (e.g. a blush still has to be big enough to get a good-sized brush in it). I think that, for example, highlighters and bronzers come in huge pans but are...
I don’t like to say yes, because that’s really upsetting, but more and more, it seems that way – though I think that there are plenty of other palettes released at other times during the year that have fallen short! When it’s a permanent product, there are many brands who seem to keep it...
I can see special occasions at younger ages but regular, fuller makeup is something in the mid-teens. It is a really tough balance to allow experimentation and help build confidence without giving the message of “makeup makes you look better and you look better with it.” I think that there’s...

I think the oldest is a Benefit eyeshadow brush, or else it is MAC Antiqued/Coppering/Bronze. I’m pretty sure I still have my original MAC eyeshadows, even though I’ve replaced with updated versions in the last couple of years.
I don’t mind if it’s explicitly stated as someone’s initial impressions (and if they did any testing/wear, I’d like to know what, even if it’s only been an hour or whatever!), but I like follow-ups as well. The one thing is I don’t want to see a lot of hyperbole before it’s been...
I look for someone who has actually tried the product as it was intended, not just swatched or opened the jar to take a smell — I want someone who can really tell about the texture, wear, how it sits or looks on skin, and go through pros/cons. I expect to see disclosures near the beginning of the...
