The Bad and Boring Makeup Tag

What is a foundation finish you don't like?
I rarely wear foundation anymore, but if I were to purchase a bottle right now I highly doubt I would buy something that was ultra matte. I find that very interesting too because I like the majority of my makeup to be matte (eyeshadow, eyeliner, lipstick, blush), so why wouldn't I want my foundation to be matte as well?

What is the worst mascara you have ever tried?
Admittedly, I haven't tried many mascaras. Once I found Clump Crusher I pretty much stuck to buying that one. In recent years I've only used four different mascaras, and two of those (L'Oreal Butterfly and Covergirl Supersizer) I remember not liking as much as the other two (Covergirl Clump Crusher and Covergirl Full Bloom).

What is one thing you tried once and then thrown away?
I'll name two: the two bad mascaras from the previous question. To be fair, I received both from Target Beauty Boxes, and neither was something I would have chosen for myself. They were both black mascaras, which I never use.

What is the most boring eyeshadow palette you own?
It's so funny to call this the most boring palette now because I remember how excited I was to hunt this down a few years ago. Lorac Nude Skinny is probably the epitome of "boring" palette to many people. It's a small palette that's essentially a handful of browns, but I love it. It's a palette I need to use more often, come to think of it.

What is a makeup trend you think is boring and want to go away?
I feel like I'm all about boring makeup. If I wanted a trend to go away it wouldn't be because it was boring. I mean, I'm tired of colorful highlighter, but I definitely wouldn't call that boring makeup.

What is the worst liquid lipstick you have tried?
Back when I used liquid lipstick, I only tried ones from Tarte, Smashbox, Stila, and ABH. Tarte was the Sephora birthday gift and just wasn't a color that suited me, so I threw it out before I even really considered how I felt about the formula. I remember liking the one from Smashbox, but I just did not wear Out Loud enough to justify keeping it around. I don't remember having strong feelings either way with the Stila products I tried. But the liquid lipstick from ABH. Oh man. I struggled so much with my lipline when I used Kathryn. I hated it too because I got compliments whenever I wore it and I bought it primarily because the name has significance to me. But I would get so frustrated whenever I tried to apply it.

What color do you think is the most boring one?
Maybe black? I think it's just because I remember the time when so many people wanted an extremely black eyeliner to make wings. Plus, I highly prefer colored mascara to black.

What brand do you think is coming out with the most boring things?
Benefit is the first brand I thought of. I might be wrong, but it seems like they only release one new cheek product a year along with a handful of their current products packaged together in some new kit. I'm just not interested in purchasing multiple blushes at once or buying eyebrow products period, and that's all I associate with the brand.

Which step in your makeup routine is the most boring one?
I have been applying the same eye primer since I got my first non-drugstore palette nearly five years ago. I've gone through at least four different tubes, but the Lorac Behind the Scenes Eye Primer has not failed me yet.

If you had to chose between a good base with a bad eyelook or a bad base with a good eyelook which one would you choose?
I feel like it depends on the day. I wear glasses, so my eyelook is often obscured. But I know that i would be ticked off if I spent time working on an eyelook only for it to come out bad, so for that reason I'm going to choose to have a good eyelook.
