What makeup do you take with you when you travel? Say you're going somewhere for a week?
.
I'd take 2 15-pan palettes, a couple of pigments, 5-10 lipsticks/lipglosses, 3-5 blushes, a few eye liner, and of course, the usual staples (foundation, moisturizer, etc.)!
.
What eyeshadows have you hit pan on? Which shades?
.
Bronze, Goldmine, Gorgeous Gold, Lucky Green, Ricepaper... I think there are a few more, but not too many, ha!
.
What's your eyeshadow application technique like? Describe the process you go through for a typical look!
.
Just read any of my looks' how-to part, ha! That's how I do it :)
.
What role does packaging play in your purchases? Does it need to be functional, pretty, practical?
.
I like functional packaging the most, but I definitely get caught up in pretty packaging, too! I am able to resist products that just look pretty, though--most of the time!
.
Do you love any beauty products that everyone else seems to hate? What products?
.
I love MAC mascara! Seems like those get a lot of rants, LOL! Plushlash is practically my HG!

What was your first blush? Brand/shade?
.
MAC's Margin blush! :) And I still ADORE it!
.
What was your first lipstick/lipgloss? Brand/shade?
.
I think MAC's Dejarose lipglass had to be one of the firsts!
.
What was your first eyeshadow? Brand/shade?
.
Benefit cream eyeshadows I do believe were my firsts. I remember my first "haul" was dropping about $200 at a Benefit counter. I know my first MAC eyeshadows were Bronze, Goldmine, and Amber Lights.
.
What beauty brands just don't catch your eye? Any reason?
.
For me, no, I don't think so. I'm always drawn to SOMETHING from just about every brand I've come across. Ha!
.
How do you make your makeup last all day? What are your tips and tricks? Share your expertise!
.
I make sure to let my moisturizer fully absorb before applying anything else. I then use primer, liquid foundation, and set with transparent loose powder. Use blot powder or sheets throughout the day to...
