OK - my turn. I definitely have colours that make people say, "you look good" and others where people ask me if I have eaten something that disagreed with me....
I used to have a terrible time with eye shadow getting creased in my eyelids. I have big brown eyes and an expanse between my eyes and eyebrows. If I put too many shades on that area I look tired. Not enough, and I look tired. Just right, and I look like I could part-tay all night. Now that I am aging, my hormonal changes have lessened the oil production and *presto* eye makeup lasts all day. believe me, I tried everything out there, but it was my body that had to change.
Any person at a makeup counter is going to sell you what they have. Lancome, Estee Lauder and Chanel products are divinely made and feel great - but they STILL test their products on animals - completely unnecessary.
So I'm afraid I look at a company's policies first and then look at the products. My favourite is The Body Shop, who did a complete rehash of their makeup line to make it look better (duh!!) while still being environmentally good. I am happy with the products.
