      In your opinion, which store (department or otherwise, online or brick-and-mortar) has the best rewards program for cosmetics/fragrance and/or overall?

      I prefer Nordstrom, because I like that you get Nordstrom notes. I don't like GWPs, so the cash to be used on a future Nordstrom purchase is more up my alley. I think a lot of people like Ulta.

      When using an eyelash primer, do you apply mascara right away afterwards or let the primer dry first? thanks!

      I'd wait for the primer to dry a little bit :)

      Dear Christine, which matte eyeshadow do you prefer as far as for colors and neutrals... MAC, MUFE, or Inglot??? Between MUFE and Inglot which would you perfer??? Thanks

      MAC or Inglot I suppose! I'm not very familiar with MUFE's neutrals - more their brights.

      Hi, I 've been looking for an everyday lipstick and I think Smashbox PhotoFinish Lipstick in Flawless might be what I need.Can you recommend a dupe for it, since it is discontinued, or if found, very expensive?Does Nyx have anything close to it?Thank you

      I don't remember having that shade, so I don't know what it looks like :(

      Hey, so I'm looking for some dupes on some MAC products... Do you know of any for the soft ochre paint pot (preferably under $10), for their eyeshadow color Handwritten (preferably under $7), and their waterproof eyeliner called Engraved?

      I'd check the Maybelline Color Tattoo range! :)

      Hello! I have a question: my friend has very long and curly eyelashes (life must be rough for her I know haha) her mascara tends to come off onto her eyelids just below her brows throughout the day. Do you have a mascara(s) that you can recommend that doe

      Do you know what mascaras she's tried? I've had good luck with MAC Plushlash, Giorgio Armani Eyes to Kill.

      Hello, thank you creating this wonderful site. Which NARS blush do you think would look best on a 47 year old, C3 (in mac) brunette hair, golden brown eyes. I am torn between: torrid, luster, outlaw. I already have orgasm. Thank you!

      I'd go with Torrid!

      I think the site ate my question when it told me I needed to sign in. Sorry if I send the question twice. I checked the dupes for Estee Lauder Tiramisu, but didn't see one. Can you recommend one?

      I'm not familiar with that shade, sorry!

      Hi, do you have any suggestions for a dupe of Chanel lipstick in Rivoli? I love the color, but my lips hate the formula. Thank you. Karen

      I don't think I have that shade, so I am not sure what would be similar! Sorry!

      how do you clean your false lashes to reuse them?

      I usually carefully peel away the lash glue, and you could use a bit of rubbing alcohol to break down the glue if necessary.

      How do you determine whether to use pencil, gel, or liquid eyeliner for a look? does it make a look different?

      It's really up to you - gel/liquid is usually more dramatic!

      People talk about the no eyeliner look to make your lashes look thicker... what is that, is it no eyeliner at all or on tight lining?

      It's lining close to the lash line getting in-between the lashes.

      I just bought Mac's Pro Longwear Plush eyeshadow but it looks way too dark on me! Any ideas what sort of colours I could pair it with to make it more wearable? Thanks

      What about a light purple or silver?
