Do you prefer swatches on arms or on the eyes/lips/cheeks? Examples:

I like to see a mixture of both. I like the arm swatches to see the product alone and how it can be built up. But you can't beat eyeshadow on the eyelid. It can be a completely different look than on your arm. Alternatively, I have seen side by side arm swatches that show the product heavily swatched and also a blended out swatch; I like that a lot.

 
I like arm swatches, but seeing them put together in looks is great inspiration for how I might want to wear or use the products.

 
Arm swatches for sure, especially for lipsticks because they don't always show how pigmented their lips are to begin with.

 
both.. 

I find that lipstick must be swatches on the lips and arm 

For eyeshadows I prefer on the arm only 

 
Arm swatches are nice but, I like to see the product being used.

I like to also used arm swatches to compare their skin tone to mine....So, I see how it looks on theirs and what I think it will look like on mine.

 
I like both swaches and seeing it on in a look. I swatch on my blog with and without a primer and base on my blog.
