Question of the Week: In honor of Easter and springtime in general: do you like pastels when it comes to color cosmetics? If so, tell us a few of your favorites!
Answer: Hmmm, in general I am not a fan of pastels in my makeup. They just aren’t great for my skin tone – although I do like a pretty pale pink for blush, highlighting and even eyeshadow.
However, one place I adore pretty soft pastels is in a gorgeous bouquet of flowers, like the amazing group above (Do you see the hat box container?!) I received from the team at Too Faced this week. What a lovely way to greet the spring! I hope your week had a lovely surprise or two too!
