just a lipliner
This is better than drug store liners but the colour and texture aren't special despite the fabulous advertising by CT (whom I love). This colour can be found anywhere. Furthermore when used under lipstick e.g. Nars Dolce Vita I still need to reapply by lunchtime. I always have a nude and a red liner and at present they are both by CT, will be purchasing a cheaper option next time.
quick and easy but over too quickly
I wish this was a full stick of the matte colour (Terra) and I also wish this was slightly darker. Applies quickly, blends easily with fingers as promised but barely shows up on me. However it is still present at the end of the day and needs to be removed. I have a major gripe about how quickly the product is used up - less product would be wasted if it was a twist up device instead of a pencil.
better than the Living Luminizer for me
I have this and the Living Luminizer. I have tan skin (NC 35) and the warm rose gold is a better match for me. I use them interchangeably as a highlighter but prefer this one. Works well, but not my favourite (Benefit Watt's Up). I feel it is at the mercy of the climate- e.g. soft/greasy in the summer and cold/unyielding in winter - to be fair it is kept in a room that has large windows and no climate control.
I have hooded eyes and usually avoid cream shadows, particularly those with shimmer. I loved the colour of Marie Antoinette and couldn't resist. It applies easily, blends well and does last longer than other cream colours I have used (Stila/Urban Decay) however even over a primer it has creased after 5 hours. Not for me, won't be purchasing the others
great everyday nude
Matte finish but not drying, this does show up flakes so exfoliate well. Leaves some residue on the rim of your wineglass but not much. Not as long lasting as CT Red Carpet Red. Very similar in colour to my beloved Nars Dolce Vita and the cheaper (nowhere near as long lasting) 1995 by Gerard Cosmetics
gorgeous red on tan skin
Matte finish but not drying, this does show up flakes so exfoliate well. Leaves some residue on the rim of your wineglass but not much, if applied over lipliner I only touch up once on a night out. Best matte finish lipstick I own.
love it
Versatile palette, great for both daily and special occasion use. Blends easily, lasts longer on my oily lids with primer
expensive
Excellent mask with proven skin care ingredients. Works well. as it is so expensive I only use it before special occasions, you are likely to find cheaper options with similar ingredients elsewhere
