What question would you like asked in Temptalia Asks You?


What question would you like asked in Temptalia Asks You? I’d love more ideas! Please keep in mind that, by and large, questions should not be brand-specific, require more than a yes/no response, and not just favorite/least favorite x, y, z. (Yes/no ideas are great for poll questions, while favorite/least favorite is great for The Hit List :))

Thank you in advance! 🙂

Do you have any makeup tips for making yourself look more awake the day after a short night’s sleep? (What products work for you? Please include your skin tone/type.)

How about this question, Christine?

I’ve always wanted to submit a question but I kept forgetting, lol! So here’s mine:

Do you cut or break open packaging to get the last bits of product out or do you think it isn’t worth the hassle?

*If you could create a make up collection based on any film, which one would it be

*If you could create a make up collection based on any food what type would it be

*If you could apply makeup to any celeb who and why?

(I don’t know if this is something you’d consider, just throwing it out there because it’s something I’d really enjoy reading the responses to.)

If you have a blog, what’s your favorite entry or two that you’ve posted?

What is, hands down, your longest-wearing item of makeup – a product that stays on so stubbornly, it’s literally your litmus test for cleansers?

Summer Avatar

Do you prefer to wear a new makeup look every day, or do you stick to the same one or few looks regularly?

Is lipstick personal to you? Do you have a signature lipstick that you wear frequently? ( You could probably ask the same thing of perfume, mascara, etc.)

Do you ever go through a makeup rut? How do you shake yourself out of it?

If you could partner with any brand to create a limited edition line, who would you choose? What would be your theme? What kind of products would you put your own spin on?

Do you have a makeup vanity? Tell us about it!

Hi hi! Lemme know if this question has been used already since it seems to be a popular one that always circulates between me and my girlfriends =)
-Would you ever date a guy who was more into makeup than you? I.e. Wearing, buying, hoarding etc.

Mahaloz again for all the hard work!

I would like to know what you and others think is the most essential part of making up the face. You know, the part of the look that wasn’t complete that it would just throw the entire makeup off?

If you could rock any hairstyle in the world, what would it be? Assuming that any office dress codes, rules, hair upkeep, face shape, etc. magically no longer matter.

Mango the mango Avatar

Ooh! If all of the world’s powder makeup products disappeared overnight and you could only magically conjure up one bottomless pan of powder for yourself, what color would it be?

Yeah, I’m weird.

Tracy Avatar

How do you match your nail manicures and pedicures ? Do you prefer wearing the same color, or different ?

What should we do if we tan so easily during summer that we don’t have the same skin tone ?

Miss J Avatar

Thinking of some more… Not sure if these have been done previously.

What’s the worst customer service experience you’ve ever had with a brand or store? How do you handle a negative customer service experience? Do you ever swear off a brand?

If you could only own 15 beauty related items, what would they be? This includes haircare, skincare, makeup, brushes, etc.

Do you remember the first makeup products ever purchased or received? What were they? If you were the one to pick them out, what drew you to those products?

I’d be interested in hearing answers to:

What’s the best sheer lipstick you’ve tried?

What are your best MLBB products?

Which eyeshadows do you find most flattering for your skin tone?

What’s your personal approach to buying makeup? (Splurge? Plan each spend? Impulse buy, etc)

How would you describe your approach to applying makeup/what “style” are you generally aiming for?

Alison Avatar

Also, do you prefer to buy drugstore brands, or high-end stuff, and when you do, do you like to buy a range of things or just a few items?

Alison Avatar

What shades of eyeshadow/lipstick/lip gloss, etc, are you on the look out for? Describe them in detail!

This way, we can help each other find that elusive shade!

What Limited Edition products do you wish were made permanent/would come back?

Adele Avatar

Are there any types products that you prefer not to own many of? (I have a feeling mascara would be a popular answer here, since a lot of people actually follow the expiration date for it.)

What are your feelings on nude/neutral makeup? Cute, boring, a necessary evil?

What are your feelings on bright/colorful makeup? Too much, only for special occasions, the whole point of wearing makeup in the first place?

Does anything inspire your makeup looks; if so, what and how often?

Do you buy makeup from indie companies? What are your thoughts on indie makeup?

Adele Avatar

Ooh, I thought of two more!

When palettes include guidelines, suggested looks, etc., how often do you utilize them?

Do you have anything in your stash that is not, for lack of a better term, real makeup? Kiddie makeup, no-brand stuff from the dollar store, anything that most knowledgeable make-up users would dismiss as useless for their needs.

Adele Avatar

Do you try to force yourself to finish up products you dislike or that don’t work for you? What are your thoughts on that vs. getting rid of or just ignoring them?

kate Avatar

this is a favorite at my MAC store to ask each other when we are super slow:
if you could only use 3 pieces of makeup for the rest of your life, what would they be? in other words, if you have to majorly scale down your makeup routine- what are the 3 things that you couldn’t live without?

Debbie Avatar

My 17 year-old daughter (green eyed dark blonde NC25-30 is just starting to wear makeup. Her skin is oily and acne prone (but controlled) so she needs to be careful of what she uses. Any suggestions that are affordable for a young shopper? I bought her the Estee Lauder blockbuster set at Christmas as well as MAC Studio Fix foundation and the Bare Study PP.
