Do you have any tips for a beginner in eyeshadow ?

[PatrickTa]

@Anonymous have a great blending brush or if you're using Shimmer Veil, the applicator makes it super easy to apply. Just swipe onto your eyelids and blend the color out.

what is a good cool tone contour shade for someone whose skin is a lighter medium shade.

What kind of foundation is best for oily skin

[MichelleT143]

Is there a way to have full coverage foundation without it looking heavy?

[CandyzDandy]

Which drop colors do you recommend for olive skin tones to give a brighter look? And which to give a sun kissed look for summer?

[PatrickTa]

Hi @CandyzDandy! Custom Enhancer Drops in Sunlight will give you a glow that makes it looks like you just came off the beach. 🙂

Hi Patrick, could you please recommend a foundation and concealer that does not cause flashback? 

[Anonymous]

hey patrick! i love you and your work!!! so here is my face. im a bit round. but, my question is. since im so roumd, exactly where could i put my highlight without it looking odd? i have always wanted to try cover fx highlight... but everytime i try with a sponge i look muddy.... or oily..... can you give me a tip?

[PatrickTa]

@Anonymous great photo! My suggestion is to apply your highlight on the most flat and highest point of your cheekbones which is usually right above your contour. Make sure the highlight doesn't go above the cheek into the eye area.

what is the best foundation to use so that your face doesn’t look cakey?

[levisummit]

Hi Patrick! I've seen highlighters that are purple, yellow, pink, white shades. What is best for medium skin tone gals like me?

[PatrickTa]

@levisummit Rose Gold Custom Enhancer Drops should look great on you. 

[BeautyNerd101]

What is your favorite eye look using Shimmer Veil?

[PatrickTa]

@BeautyNerd101 Right now I'm super into monochromatic eye looks so I like to blend Amethyst all over the lid.

Hey Patrick, I was wondering what are the best products to use for my oily to combination skin. I currently use the customs drop, but I want to know what other products to use.

Hi Patrick! I have combo skin and currently wear Fiji in the Nars Natural Radiant Longwear Foundation. I do prefer a more matte medium to full coverage. Which Cover FX foundation would be best for me?
