Your skin tone/coloring: Under my name (blue-green eyes, dark hair)

Most used lip product this month? Laneige Sleeping Lip Mask in Gummi Bears, PMG Labs Omi and She’s Heaven, and various glosses that I just keep in my bag, MUFE Wherever Walnut lip pencil and Nyx Earthtone SLP.

Go-to cheek products this month? Huda Beauty Tan-Light bronzer, ABH Amrezy highlighter, MAC Double Gleam EDSF, MAC Blushbaby and Fenty Rose Latté.

Favorite eye palette this month? I don’t believe that I have used any of my palettes twice this month! However, I really loved a look I did using CT Bejewelled last Friday that was more understated and neutral, but really pretty. Plus one very beautiful look using Huda Beauty Jaguar Wild Obsessions!

Your skin tone/coloring: Very fair with neutral to cool undertones. I have grey hair and dark brown eyes.

Most used lip product this month? This is cheating but I am going to say there are two because I have either worn one or the other all month. The winner but a tiny bit would be Hermes Rose Boise which is a lovely rosy pink shade but deeper which suits me better than say a more pastel pink or a Barbie pink and the other would be Charlotte Tilbury’s Bond Girl. I have been trying to track down my tube of “Walk of Shame” which I know they renamed, must be trying to be politically correct, but anyway, I can’t find it in my house so while I don’t think I would declutter it, I might have by accident. If so I will pick up one in Denver but anyway, Bond Girl has gotten a lot of love from me this month but it is in the new name. I had purchased it back when I was first getting back into makeup and didn’t realize that they had renamed the Matte Revolution lippies and so I fell in love with M.I.Kiss not realizing it was Bond Girl. Just reinforces that when I like something, I go out of my way to buy the exact same shade!

Go-to cheek products this month? Both are Chanel products. The first would be the Fantaisie de Chanel. So worth every penny I paid for it. I also used the Chanel Fleur de Printemps Blush and Highlighter duo a lot. I sort of threw Gucci Radiant Pink in the mix a bit. They all are similar in finish and just slightly different tones.

Favorite eye palette this month? I honestly didn’t have a favorite this month. I have been using a different one almost everyday. I am slowly working my way through my older Chanel quads and Dior Quints deciding which to keep and which to declutter. I have quite a lot of them and many, although they didn’t review well, have at least one or two shades that I can use as one and done looks so that is what I have been testing. If I had to pick one from Chanel that I use most of the colors in it would be Tisse Rivoli and from Dior it would be the Mystic Metallics palette. If I were making a traditional eye look with Mystic Metallics I would have to pull in another palette as it is all shimmers but for one and done looks, it is perfect. Definitely keeping both of those palettes.

Your skin tone/coloring: Neutral/fair
Most used lip product this month? I’ve been trying out the Naked Sundays SPF50 Glow Balm recently. I like the texture on my lips but the colors sometimes need to be mixed to get the color I want.
Go-to cheek products this month? I’ve been loving my Maybelline Master Chrome Highlighter in 250 (Molten Pearl)!
Favorite eye palette this month? Hmm, I’ve probably reached for my LH Cosmetics Aim Higher palette most this month.

Go-to cheek products this month? Chantecaille cream blush in Vibrant, Chanel cream bronzer
Favorite eye palette this month? I’ve been using the same old Bobbi Brown palatte for a while now, it’s great for a neutral every day eye look, especially for work – I’ve had it for a few years ‘Nude on Nude’eye palette.

Your skin tone/colouring: Porcelain, with pink undertones

Most used lip product this month? I’ve had a few new lipsticks to use this month – Givenchy’s and an EL one in Persuasive, which I have used a lot of. Plus my usual favourites of Maybelline’s Spice and Mauve For Me.

Go-to cheek products this month? By default it’s been the disappointing MAC Fleur Power – the one that lasts only an hour or two on my face before disappearing into the ether….

Favorite eye palette this month? Definitely Lorac’s Fairytale Forest, some of PMG’s Subliminal Platinum Bronze, Maybelline’s Burgundy Bar and On the Horizon’s Light.
