1) I don't spend very much on make-up, though I do own a variety of colors. I prefer dark lipsticks, my favorite shades being a dark red, black, or navy blue. Contrariwise, I prefer light or vibrant shades of eye-shadow so that it stands out beneath my eye-liner. (I wear quite a bit of eyeliner.) I prefer reds and vivid pinks, as they bring out the "greenness", as you say, in my eyes. I've found blues make them stand out as well. It is as if the green of my eyes and the blue of the shadow are fighting for dominance.

2) I'm only vaguely aware of today's beauty-trends, and they don't make much sense to me, so I suppose it is safe to assume I don't follow them. I don't much like contouring, as it makes the face appear quite haggard.

3) I prefer shimmery to matte. Matte appears very dull, in my opinion. A dewy complexion seems much healthier.

4) I refuse to pay a large sum of money for anything I could find cheaper. The most expensive item I own is a BB cream for thirteen dollars, and that lasts me quite a while.

When I am feeling a bit lazy, I will moisturize, comb on a bit of mascara, and if I can be bothered, put on a red lipstick.
When I am feeling a bit artsy, I will wear absolutely any color I want anywhere, a thick winged-liner, and draw a cute symbol upon my cheek. I usually draw a heart, rose, or lambda. I do love doodling spiders and bats as well.
Thanks for this!
