What do you look for in a product review? Share!
I look for detail and cues that indicate someone actually applied/used it. A lot of things can swatch nicely or look good initially, but they may not always hold up during the day. I also look for reviews that don't let the color dictate the overall...
Has your makeup routine or style changed over time? Share!
I have a greater appreciation for the different styles of makeup more today than I did ten years ago, and I have a better understanding of what I like in products (and don't like) and am just more comfortable wearing what I like, even if...
What are your tips for adjusting a foundation shade that doesn't quite match? (Assume you cannot return!) Share!

How did you learn how to apply makeup? Share!

Do you feel others treat you differently if you wear makeup? Share!

What movie needs its own makeup collection? Share!
I could totally go for a Finding Nemo-themed collection - so many vibrant colors and textures to choose from. Most of the movies I watch are Disney/Pixar, LOL!

What is your best advice for staying beautiful and young-looking, aside from topical items? Share!
Find joy in what you spend your time doing as much and as often as possible! I also think general good advice like eating healthy, exercising regularly, and moderating any vices all ring true.
Thanks to...
