You Can Get With This or You Can Get With That: The Beauty Preferences Edition

Singer Having Makeup AppliedI've forgotten how fun it is to participate in a beauty tag...even if I tend to overthink my answers! The stunning Khadine from Cosmetic Passion recently tagged me on her blog in a beauty preference meme in which I have to choose one beauty product in a series of questions:

[blush] or [bronzer]?

Sure, I love using bronzer as blush, eyeshadow and as a highlight, but nothing beats a gorgeous, ethereal glow you can get with a coral-, orange- or peach-hued blush. My favorites:

[lipstick] or [lip gloss]?

Purple lipstick please! But I think I might be wearing a host of fun lip tattoos this fall just because I hear they stay on forever with minimal retouching. My favorites:

[eyeliner] or [mascara]?

I know winged eyeliner and its variations is hot right now but give me a great mascara to define my eyes. Too much work to get the perfect cat eye nowadays! My favorites:

[foundation] or [concealer]?

Hands down, I have to choose foundation---especially a cream foundation that can double as a concealer. My favorites: In progress.

[neutral eyeshadow] or [colored eyeshadow]?

I love a nice wash of a metallic, neutral eyeshadow just because I'm too lazy to blend colored eyeshadow and make it look presentable. Besides, metallic eyeshadow is a great Fall trend! See below!

[loose eyeshadow] or [pressed eyeshadow]?

I hate loose shadow (too messy) but it doesn't stop me from using the loose eyeshadows that I have. I love pressed eyeshadows in palettes though...granted that I don't break them! [laughs] My favorites:

[brushes] or [sponges]?

Believe it or not, I prefer using my BeautyBlender over my makeup brushes. I know there are people out there who think the BeautyBlender is nothing special but I have to disagree. First off, you're supposed to use it to stipple foundation, blush, etc. on the skin. If you use it like a regular sponge, you'll be disappointed. I love it because the technique is so artistic to me. My favorites:

Which ones would you choose?

The ARTISTRY Behind Miss America: Miss America's Favorite ARTISTRY Products

Recently, Miss America shared with ARTISTRY products she uses to keep her skin and lips looking beautiful:

>>ARTISTRY Lip Care Kit: Cameron says that this kit keeps her lips soft and smooth as she travels all around the country appearing at various events. The Lip Polish gently exfoliates and the Lip Conditioner hydrates with the benefit of antioxidants and vitamins A and E. I noticed that the ARTISTRY Lip Care Kit is very similar to the Laura Mercier Lip Treatment Kit. Both kits use the same mint/rose packaging as well as the same names.

>>ARTISTRY Microdermabrasion System: Cameron also prefers this system, which is a more affordable, at-home alternative to microdermabrasion at the dermatologist's office. It's her lifesaver - she depends on weekly exfoliation for healthy, glowing skin. The system consists of the ARTISTRY Polishing Scrub, the MicroExfoliation Cloth and the Skin Refinishing Lotion.
