Christina F.

"If I'm feeling really pale and colorless, I'll use lip gloss as a cheek tint. I take from whatever is already on my lips and dab the apples of my cheeks for a healthy glow."

Jasmine J.

"When I record tutorials, I prep half of my face before I start filming. I've become so used to doing half my face at a time that I can't do my eye makeup at the same time anymore! I have to finish my left eye, before starting my right."

Ning C.

"My fingernails grow very fast, and seeing a gap between the nail polish and cuticle is a pet peeve of mine. That's why I like to do my own manicures. Then I can really make sure that the nail polish goes all the way to the cuticle. Most of the time I end up painting on the cuticle itself to be extra sure. I just have to scrub my hands afterward to remove the excess polish and then I've got a perfect-looking manicure with no gap by the cuticle."

Victoria S.

"When I buy a fresh mascara, I use it once, then wait two weeks before using it again. After two weeks, the mascara works so much better than when I first opened it. Who knows if it's the formula or my weird makeup habits, but I see the difference!"

Tara L.

"Whenever I first buy a lipstick, I have to try it on before I actually wear it out, and look in at least three different mirrors to see it in different lighting."

Wafi A.

"I always sanitize my lipsticks and sharpen my liners as soon as I take them out of the packaging. I worry that other people have used them before—I've spent years in retail—so I have to clean them."
