How does your outfit impact what makeup you wear?

How does your outfit impact what makeup you wear?

I usually try to match the undertone (cool/warm) with my clothes, and then I’ll usually use the color to accent or incorporate, but it depends on how bold/dark what I’m wearing is. I’ve been more known to change clothes to accommodate a makeup look than the other way around!

Is having a signature look important to you?

Is having a signature look important to you?

Nope, not at all. I think it’s fun when you show your preferences enough that others know you love XYZ style or color or product, but I don’t personally need to have a specific look to be known for.

Do you think that beauty brands listen to customer concerns?

Do you think that beauty brands listen to customer concerns?

I think there are more than we FEEL like listening and at least doing something with our feedback internally, but whether we actually see real change (that’s visible to us as customers) I’m not sure – that’s where I get cynical and don’t feel like we see a lot of things addressed. Last...

Did your upbringing impact how you view makeup?

Did your upbringing impact how you view makeup?

I don’t think so; my mom didn’t wear makeup, but she didn’t speak about makeup negatively. It was more of a neutral thing; unnecessary to be beautiful but there was no undertone of “makeup is evil” or “makeup is superficial” that I picked up on.

How do you keep your makeup brushes clean while traveling?

I used to use my cleansing oil on-the-go, but these days, there are a ton of solid brush soaps, so I’ll use one of those — either EnKore Makeup’s, Japonesque’s, or Beautyblender’s.

Do you feel guilty returning products?

Do you feel guilty returning products?
