What unconventional beauty or makeup tricks have you stumbled upon? Share!
I think my favorite is applying gel eyeliner using a pencil eyeliner -- like taking a black eyeliner pencil and dipping it into a black gel eyeliner. It's really fantastic for applying to the water line.

Do you do anything to set pencil eyeliner? Or does the formula you use last all day without anything extra?
Sometimes I do, but it's not usually borne out of a motivation to make it last longer! More often, I do it to change up the color of the eyeliner or to give it a gentle fade/smudge by using...
Do celebrity endorsements or celebrity-designed beauty products draw you in or push you away? Does it just depend on the celebrity?
It probably pushes me away more than it draws me in. I'm very skeptical of celebrity-designed beauty products; more often than not, I just don't think they have much...
Have you ever tried a product that changes color based on your body chemistry? Like a lipstick or lip balm? Love or hate?
I remember trying one of Smashbox's O-glosses, I believe. I'm neutral on them; it's not a product I'd reach for myself, but I'm not opposed to them.

Have you ever attempted "Project Pan"? It's often to referred to as Project 10 Pan, 15 Pan, etc. - the concept is the same: you're not allowed to purchase any more beauty products (which can have some rules like basics--as in foundation--are okay, or you might be specific and say no more...

Do you use your sunscreen as a moisturizer? Do you prefer to have a separate moisturizer?
When possible, I much, much prefer a two-in-one product. However, for extra coverage for when I'm going to be outdoors for extended periods of time, I'd actually rather have a separate sunscreen. For...
How do you coordinate your makeup with your clothes? Do you match? Complement?
I like to match - not necessarily head-to-toe matching, but if I wear a teal eyeshadow in the crease, maybe I'll wear a teal shirt or teal scarf.

What eyeshadow color do you find most difficult to pull off? Have you figured out a way to wear it?
Really sallow yellows, kind of murky yellows. I can do a golden/orange yellow or a shimmery yellow, but certain types of yellow just make me look sick. If I pair it with warmer colors, like oranges,...
What was the most disappointing eyeshadow palette you've tried? Did you just swatch it in store or did you buy it? Did you keep it?
Urban Decay's Black Palette was a pretty big bummer. Then MAC has had some majorly disappointing quads (which I always think of as quads, distinct from palettes).
Thanks...
