Why This Works

Finish the Sentence prompts work because they lower the barrier to participation. Members do not have to think of a topic from scratch. Instead, they simply complete a thought, making it easy and inviting for everyone to join in. This format taps into both creativity and personal experience, ensuring a wide range of responses that keep the conversation dynamic.

These prompts also foster connection, as members share stories, preferences, and dreams related to makeup. The open-ended nature allows for diverse answers, which encourages members to interact, react, and build on each other's ideas. This not only boosts engagement but also helps members feel seen and valued in your community.
