Comments that do not adhere to our comment policy may be removed. Discussion and debate are highly encouraged but we expect community members to participate respectfully. Please keep discussion on-topic, and if you have general feedback, a product review request, an off-topic question, or need technical support, please contact us!

Please help us streamline the comments' section and be more efficient: double-check the post above for more basic information like pricing, availability, and so on to make sure your question wasn't answered already. Comments alerting us to typos or small errors in the post are appreciated (!) but will typically be removed after errors are fixed (unless a response is needed).

We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities! Thank you for understanding!

Your skin tone/colouring: Porcelain, with pink undertones

What was your favorite makeup look you wore this past week?: Squeal! My son got me the Decadence palette from PMG for Christmas!!! So today, Christmas Day here, is my favourite look of the week:
Face: Clarin’s Everlasting foundation in Linen – nearly all gone!
Shiseido’s Inner Glow blush in coral
Natio’s Tubing mascara in black
MAC’s Fresh Moroccan lipstick
Eye Look: I borrowed Nude Moon from Bronze Bliss over the top half of my eyelid
Enigma from Decadence on the lower half and Lapis Luxury next to the lashline.

What was the hero product of the week for you?: Last week it was a variety of my eye palettes, plus sunscreen.

Any products you want to use next week?: PMG’s Decadence for sure!

Your skin tone/coloring: Light neutral skin tone, green eyes, almost-black hair with natural silver highlights

What was your favorite makeup look you wore this past week? 
• EYES: Primed with MAC Painterly. Tartelette In Bloom Palette (Rocker on lid, Sweetheart in crease, Rebel on outer V), UD 24/7 pencil in Alkaline on my bottom lash line, Cover Girl Clump Crusher Waterproof Mascara on upper lashes, Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara, Benefit Goof Proof in Grey to fill in brows, and Benefit Precisely My Brow in Grey to define the brow tails.
• FACE: Estée Lauder Double Wear Makeup in Sand, Lancome Effacernes Waterproof Concealer in Light Buff, Revlon Colorstay Pressed Powder, and MAC Sheertone Blush in Blushbaby.
• LIPS: MAC Powder Kiss Lipstick in Teddy 2.0

What was the hero product of the week for you? MAC Powder Kiss Lipstick in Teddy 2.0, which is a lipstick I bought months ago, but never used. I’ve been using it for a week now and it’s become one of my favorites.

Any products you want to use next week? My Urban Decay lipsticks because I normally overlook them (Depends on Traffic, What’s Your Sign, Liar).

Your skin tone/coloring: Light neutral skin tone (leaning warm because very yellow)

What was your favorite makeup look you wore this past week?: Dior Forever Glow in 0.5N over Unseen Sunscreen, Tarte Shape Tape in 16N around eyes, Anastasia Dipbrow in Soft Brown, Too Faced Natural Mattes and L’Oreal Telescopic mascara in black-brown on eyes. Bobbi Brown Tawny on cheeks with Bobbi Brown Crushed Lipstick in Italian Rose and MAC Dervish liner on lips. Benefit Porefessional Setting Spray

What was the hero product of the week for you?: L’Oreal Telescopic mascara for sure! My eyelashes have been difficult lately — one eye’s lashes are sparse, and both are often crumpled — and this mascara seems to be the key to getting them at least somewhat even and smoothed out.

Any products you want to use next week?: I’ve been enjoying Urban Decay’s Wild Greens palette (I know it’s not popular, but it works so well for me) so will probably continue to create looks with that. Also want to experiment more with Colourpop’s Fairy Well palette since I haven’t used it much yet. The glitters can be used on my face for New Year’s, so I’m already planning my look for the evening!
