How do you choose what colors to wear in your look for the day?

I usually start with a product I really want to wear, whether that’s an eyeshadow palette, color type (maybe a teal eyeshadow), or new lipstick. Then I try to build around that product! This is not my routine on a daily basis, but that is how I’d go about it for a personal day 🙂

What was the first makeup technique you felt you mastered?

I don’t know that I feel like I’ve genuinely mastered any technique, but I remember feeling like I had a good color sense of what eyes to pair with what cheeks/lips. I don’t think I’m as good now, because my sense of color is more warped – as in I am so used to seeing things that are...

What are the main brands you purchase from?

What are the main brands you purchase from?
