Are you enjoying your makeup experience?
At Dressing Your Truth we believe that makeup is meant to enhance your own natural beauty. It should be a fun and creative process that adds to the quality of your life.
As we learn and try new things questions come up. In this recording of Makeup Talk, DYT Experts Anne and Anna K answered those questions. They’re timestamped below so you can easily search for what you need:
- (1:35) As a Type 1 is it important to wear colorful eyeshadow? Would browns not be enough pop?
- (3:50) I’m a Type 2 that’s new to DYT. I don’t even have a clue where to begin. What are the essential/basic items to start with?
- (7:40) -Get all the details on Makeup Month! (Remember to use your Life Style code: MOREMAKEUP for an extra 15% off)-
- (8:32) Any tips for very dark circles and aging eyes?
- (12:05) Is there an eyeliner wing shape for each Type?

- (17:12) What eyeshadow colors are best with Type 3 blue eyes?
- (20:50) You have the video about eyebrow shaping, but can you speak to helping the natural Type shape of your eyebrow come out?
- (23:18) Are all of the Type 4 products so pigmented? I bought the Starter Kit and I feel like it is too dark.
- (25:00) What are good neutral eyeshadows for Type 4? I used to use brown before DYT to create an upper crease, but Type 4 colors seem too dark?
- (33:14) Do you clean your eyeshadow and blush brushes every time you change colors?
- (34:38) Any tips for getting brows to grow back? (The 90s weren’t kind to me)

BTW, I love love love the purple in the corrector kit for large freckles and brown age spots. Works perfectly to brighten those spots. Thought I’d share because the corrector kit conversations tend toward the other two colors.
Thank you for sharing!!
Love these make up Q&A videos. As a type 2 I never really wanted to visit the make up counter in big stores and have my make up done by the shop assistant so never really learnt the skills. Like Anne I tend to find shades I like and stick to them. Great to have new ideas to try. I like in the UK. We don’t have your snow…yet.
