Will be buying more
Hello everyone, Before I continue I gotta say that I am a college student, and I honestly can't afford tons of makeup, I choose to have high end over drug store even if it means I'll have less makeup to play with. That being said, these shadows are just amazing. They enhance your eyes. I am sure these can be used dramatically but I like shadows to enhance my eyes with a pop of color, and these shadows do just that. When I say enhance I mean they make you look nice, it's not just the makeup that looks nice, but your face. It makes you look beautiful. And that's what I want from makeup. I don't want people to say oh your makeup looks nice, I want people to say you look really pretty , and this pallet does just that.

Great just not for foundation
I prefer my fingers or a sponge to apply my foundation, and leaves everything streaky, however it's awesome for cream blush and highlight. Sometimes I don't want to wear foundation under my cream blush and highlight and such but when I don't it just sits on top of my skin and it doesn't look natural. With this because it is so small, I can actually buff the cream products so that they just look like a natural flush and glow on my skin.
Amazing
This brush doesn't move your foundation even if you don't set it with powder. This can do everything the 13 does, except applying liquid foundation.
Golden undertones beware
This foundation looks great in regards to the finish, but this shade didn't work for me. Now I've tried all four of their darker shades, delicate, transparent, velvety, and this one. I was so hoping this would work out, but it's not that i was to dark for the range, but that the undertones are just weird on me. This one looked grey, delicate was the right undertone but too dark, transparent and velvety looked pink on me. I have a very golden undertone (NC40 in Mac shades). I might try for subtlety next just because I desperately want this to work for me because I just love this finish and I want to support a luxury organic line. I want an organic foundation. I will try out her lip tints and blushes but I just wish this foundation worked. I'm so bumbed.

Feels cheap and doesn't work for darker skin tones
Hello! Unfortunately this item didn't work for me. Both lip to cheeks made me look dead when applied to the lips. Spell didn't even show up on my cheeks. Smile looked great on my cheeks however, but it was too pale on my lips. The living luminizer and the master mixture were both nice and the lip balm was nice as well, but for 44$ it just didn't cut it. I will be purchasing the master mixer living luminizer and lip balm sepreatly because even though 3/5 worked out for me, the packaging feels incredibly cheap. The other RMS products that have feel cute and are nice to display but as much as I like simple packaging I expect luxury brands to put some kind of effort in the presentation. I shouldn't be able to compar it to my baby sister play makeup set. If the other two items worked for me I would have just kept the product despite the packaging but alas, ''tis not the case. For reference I am NC 40 in Mac shades, and 44 in the RMS uncover up which is in fact a wonderful product by the way.
Strong blush
I have two of these duos and these are the best blushes that I have ever tried. They are heavily pigmented, so you really just need a light hand. I'm writing this review however, because of a YouTube video that I saw featuring these blushes. The "guru" that reviewed them however didn't know that these were two blushes that are meant to be used together. She thought that it was highlight/blush duo, and that is not the case. The dominate color is so pigmented that on its own it can create to much of an impact for day to day looks. The way I use these blushes is that I tap once into the dominate color and then twice into the blending color to get a more natural blended flush. Sometimes I use the dominate first then use a smaller brush on the secondary color just to blend the edges. I like this because it makes strong blush colors more wearable, and versatile. I also will pat this powder onto my lips then put lip balm over it. The texture is so smooth and creamy that when it's paired with a balm you can't feel the powderyness of the blush.
Get light if you're G50
Love the powder and it looks great, but the shade medium is a little dark for my G50 skin tone. Mainly for under my eyes, which is the only place I powder.
It's only good when you're not wearing any makeup over it
Sooo I'm the type of girl who uses both primer and foundation as optional items for my beauty routine and sometimes I'll use one without the other. I always moisturize of course. So on days where I am super minimal I will use a primer, some concealer, and a bit of powder for my base. And this primer is good for those types of days where I don't wear foundation. However, if I use this with a foundation, it becomes so unbearably oily and greasy. I hate it under any of my foundations. I think it's funny though because I have excessively dry skin. I think that this primer is more for oily/normal skin types, because I've noticed that whenever I use a mattifying or blurring primer, I get oily, where as I normally use an illuminating or hydrating primer, or a rich lotion and my makeup will last all day even without setting powder. It seems like my skin just doesn't like these kinds of primers. It does blur imperfections which is why I gave it a third star. That's the reason I will keep wearing this, but it just didn't work for me as a foundation primer.
