Love this lip pencil. It glides on smoothly and stays put. I use it with all my lip colors to enhance and define my lips. I use a tip Bobbi Brown suggests: line your lips after you apply lip color; that works better for me.

The best mascara I have ever used, and I've tried hundreds. It grabs each lash and coats with beautiful color. Minimal clumping, even with multiple applications. My lashes are somewhat thin and sparse, and this makes them pop like nothing else. It lengthens, plumps and holds the curl all day. I can't tell if it's boosting lash growth, though.

For me, this works better than anything else I've tried. I've used brow mascaras, gels, pencils, pens, powders, etc. Being able to control the color by how much pressure you apply helps. I have auburn hair and I don't like to match my hair color exactly to my brows and this color works nicely for me. It applies easily and lasts all day.

Like it better than the sculpting powder

I've been using Kevyn Aucoin's sculpting powder for years and was satisfied with it but recently I've been switching to creme formulas which seem to work better for me. This is a very small product but it doesn't take much to see results. I'm not much of a sculptor but I do like using this on my eyelids to add depth to the socket area. I apply it with Kevyn Aucoin's sculpting brush, which is small enough to fit nicely on my eyelid. It blends nicely with my cream eyeshadows. I use the highligher portion sparingly, on the top of my cheekbones only.

The best cream eyeshadow

I only use cream eyeshadows because they tend to stay put longer and look better than powders on my lids. However, they can be challenging to apply correctly and blend well. These products are the best I've found. I have 3 colors: Brown Perfection, Velvet Orchid and Bronze Moon. The colors are deeply pigmented, beautiful and last all day. I apply the shadows by drawing a few lines back and forth on the back of my hand, then pick up the shadow using the Rae Morris Brush 8.5 and apply to my eyes. The brush makes a big difference.

Not too heavy, not too runny, just the right consistency for general concealer coverage. I use it on my face for broken capillaries and red spots and it works well for those purposes. I can't speak for how it covers dark under eye circles because I use another product for that. It blends well and stays put. I use Kevyn Aucoin's blender/concealer brush to apply this concealer which works very well.

So glad I found this brush. I use By Terry creme eyeshadows and this brush makes all the difference. I totally agree with the previous reviewer who said you need good tools for using creme products. My powder eyeshadow brushes don't do nearly as good a job as this brush. It picks up the right amount of product and blends beautifully in the socket.

The best Kohl pencil I've found. I have this in 3 colors: Brown Stellar, Purple Label and Brown Secret. All 3 colors enhance my hazel eyes. The pencils glide on smoothly, blend easily and stay put. The colors are deep and lovely. Makes a perfect tightline pencil.
