How long does foundation typically wear for you? Is that long enough?
How long does foundation typically wear for you? Is that long enough?
The ones I’ll wear by choice tend to last a solid eight hours before starting to show some signs of wear, but they’d be minor signs – not heavy creasing or patchiness. I’d prefer a bit closer to 10 hours, which I find I can get to if I set with powder or use a primer underneath.

Do you prefer translucent or colored eyeshadow primers/bases?

How do you use eyeshadow pencils in a look usually?

What is your least favorite type of mini set?
What is your least favorite type of mini set?
I think a lot of the mini face palettes end up suiting a narrower set of skin tones/preferences, so I always feel like there’s one or more shades that I wouldn’t reach for.

What is your favorite type of mini set?
Love mini sets of liquid blushes (they always take so long to finish) and lipsticks. I also love fragrance minis!
