What order of application do you find to be the best for makeup? I know lots of “brows before base” girls as well as those who do eyeshadow first or concealer after blush etc! Curious!
Anyone remember the color TRAP by colourpop?
Colourpop described it as a ‘dusty greyed out beige (“greige”)’ — a stoney grey taupe shade, with a bit of lilac in it.
At some point they discontinued it and it’s been a favorite for years (wore it on my wedding day, it’s that good)
Anyone have a really close alternative or dupe for it?? Nothing else compares for me :(
