Consistent, tried & true lippy formulas

While I do find I love some finishes more than others, I find MAC lipsticks to be some of the best in terms of variety of shades and on-trend releases. I especially like the satin, amplified and matte formulas. Candy Yum-Yum, Ruby Woo and Creme D'Nude are two of my all-time faves along with a whole slew of other musts. I've been a fan since the 90s, what can I say? Still a MAC lipstick fan! Pair them with MAC liners, which are some of my favorite liners for professional and personal use.

Lightweight, texture blurring primer!

Generally I use a thicker silicone primer like Whip Hand's, but I found this to be a decent, lightweight alternative capable of smoother subtle to nearly moderate skin texture issues. I was a little surprised to find this formula had a beige tone, but found it easily blended into my complexion. I hve sensitive skin and even though this primer has a light fragrance, did not react. Someone with an incredibly fair or deep complexion may want to test it prior to buying just to make sure it blends into their complexion as nicely as I haven't had the chance to try it on either.

Ample coverage, but shades & texture couldn't win me over.

I tried this out and was very hopeful after hearing such great things, but I found the limited range of shades and thick texture didn't suit me. I like that it offers high SPF coverage for those that forget to apply it separately (which you always should anyway), but I would have liked to have seen more shades/undertones and a lighter feeling formula. For those who find these a great complexion match and who are less sensitive about "feeling" their complexion products this may be a great option.

Stunning, sexy highlighter!

KA's Candlelight Celestial Powder is absolutely phenomenal! A list dusting produces a gorgeous glow while a heavier application creates an absolutely stunning sheen. I am an absolute lover of all Kevyn Aucoin products, but this is one of my favorites. Even the packaging is classy, but were this to be packaged in a cardboard box I'd still adore it!

Super finely milled, lit-within glow!

If you like a natural, lit from within glow without metallic sheen or sparkle this is a must! I haven't met an Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder I haven't liked, though I do think some are a bit too subtle for deeper complexions. In addition to these performing well, they last a long time and don't kick up an extreme excess of powder during use. Overall, a great finishing powder and well worth the purchase for your kit or personal makeup collection.

Amazing Quality - Perfection!

I have been a huge Wayne Goss brush fan since they first launched and every one I purchase is as good as the last. They are of superior quality, softness and the designs are fantastic. I often find domed, fairly dense brushes can be some of the scratchiest. Not the case AT ALL with this one. And really, you can use it for whatever suits your application style!

Whether you're an MUA (like me) or consumer, if you appreciate amazing brushes grab some!

Great for freelance MUAs!

If you're a freelance MUA or you travel a lot and want a water-free way to remove makeup and cleanse skin this is fabulous! The travel size is the perfect size for plane travel and the formula works really well. I find it removes everything from regular to waterproof makeup. The only thing I find it sometimes doesn't remove is really strong eyelash glue. That being said, I find only oil-based eye remover works in those instances anyway.

Overall, great whether you're a pro or not in my opinion!

Love it so much I have multiples!

The 02 brush by Wayne Goss is nothing short of perfection. The bristles are whisper-soft and apply powders beautifully. I like to use it for highlighters, bronzers, etc., but really you can do what feels right to you with it in your hand. I purchased my first when the collection first launched and have since bought multiples. Amazing, amazing brush both in my kit and personal collection. <3
