Question of the Week: Imagine there is some calamity and all makeup production ceases. You only have what is left in your stash. What kind of makeup will you run out of first and what kind of makeup will you run out of last?

Answer – I will never run out of red lipstick, I have far too many for one woman and it makes me feel all sorts of guilty at the pure excess when I look at my collection.  The first thing I would run out of would be my Illamasqua eyebrow powder, I don’t buy backups, I only like one shade and I use it everyday.
