Have you tried a beauty subscription service?

Have you tried a beauty subscription service? If so, which ones? How did you like your experience? (Think Birchbox, Glossybox, etc.) Is it worth it?

I haven't been impressed by them overall, but I'm one of those people who would only see value if they were full-sized (and always that way) and products...

What is your beauty secret?

What is your beauty secret? Interpret that as you'd like!

Be as confident as you can, and for many of us, that is a work in progress and some days we can be 100% confident and other days might be shakier. Oh, and smile :) I think everyone looks better when they're smiling/laughing!

Have you used makeup as a reward for meeting a goal? If so, what was your goal and what was the reward?

Oh, yes!! I used to do this a lot when I was in school - get a certain grade, finish a paper, etc. Recently I made it a goal to get through about 3,000 uncropped photos and then I could buy more...

Does the season influence your makeup choices? Sometimes? Never?

Do you like getting beauty makeovers?

Do you like getting beauty makeovers?

Do you like getting beauty makeovers? Whether at a counter or by a friend!

No, not usually. I have a hard time just sitting there, and my eyes blink like crazy when other people do my makeup. I've only liked a handful of makeovers, most notably when Nicholas Lujan @ the Vegas MUFE boutique did my...

Is lip liner necessary?

Is lip liner necessary?

Is lip liner necessary? If so, what prompts you to use it regularly? If not, do you ever use it? What keeps you from using it?

Honestly, I'm usually testing lip color, so I rarely use lip liner, since it serves to alter the color as well as extend the wear, which would render a test worthless! I use...

Do you mix eyeshadows to create custom shades?

Do you mix eyeshadows to create custom shades?

Do you mix eyeshadows to create custom shades? We don't just mean blending two colors together where they meet but actually dabbing your brush or applicator into two or three or ten shades. Have you been successful?

I remember the first time I saw someone do this, and it was Eve Pearl when I visited...
