We have been reformulating anything that had carmine in the past, and if we can't reformulate, we just throw them out. I can live without a purple eye shadow. It's fine.

It's all or nothing with my makeup. If I get dressed up, I'll go to an extreme. I'll wear foundation, bright blue or bright red lipstick with one of my weird purple wigs.
