When you were little, did you have someone you watched apply makeup? Share your memories!
I can't remember watching any one apply makeup until the ninth or tenth grade, which was when my best friend at the time was wearing her makeup, so I'd sit and watch her sometimes. My mom never wore makeup (and...
Do you try to budget yourself when buying beauty products? The one that you're totally indulging in?
To an extent--I try to buy things that make the most sense for the blog. Will readers want to read about this? Will I actually have a chance to review it before it sells out?
Thanks to Laura for...
How do you deal with poor lighting situations when applying your makeup? Maybe a poorly lit hotel bathroom?
The best thing to do is go outside and look at what products you're thinking of wearing to make sure everything matches/coordinates. Then, when you're in the space with the less-than-stellar...
How do you make your eyeshadow pop if you wear glasses? Share your tips if you've got 'em!

What's your favorite glittery eyeshadow that doesn't have fall out? Is there such a thing?

Thanks...

Do you use self-tanner during the winter? Or do you just go with your natural skin tone?
I haven't used self-tanner in years, mostly because I'm already medium in color and I tan super, super quick during the summer (even with sunscreen!). I just don't have the patience or desire to work with...
What makeup trend would you like to see make a come back? What are you hoping will be the "it" thing again?
Coral lips? I'm sooo not a trend hunter - I just don't follow them. I feel like I see repeats of the same ones each season - skin/nudes for spring, corals/pinks for summer, berries/plums for...
What product would you recommend as good gift for someone just starting out with makeup? Share your suggestions!
If they don't have ANYTHING, then I'd probably suggest the Wet 'n' Wild Color Icon Trios, which are pretty good bang for your buck--but you don't have to feel guilty about practicing with...
What trend are you really happy to see happening? The one that you're totally indulging in?
Berry and red lips -- I'm a huge fan of the 5-minute eye with a stronger, bolder lip for a really pulled together look.
