LIKE A GLASS OF WATER FOR THIRSTY SKIN
Helloooo hydration! This mask is perfect for those with combination and dry skin. In the winter when I have slight flaking around my chin, I go straight to this bad boy. It'll fix that flakiness up unlike any moisturizer I have tried. As it's been getting warmer, however, I am still using this. I like it as an overnight treatment for an extra hydration boost. I find that it's a bit cooling when I put it on, which also makes it nice for summer. And it smells SO GOOD! I always take a moment to just breathe in the scent from the tub before applying, haha. This is a great mask that won't break you out, and will feel like total luxury to wear. Clay, mud, and charcoal masks tend to harden on your face which sometimes makes it difficult to make facial expressions or carry on with your life, but this mask applies clear and doesn't harden so you could wear it for as long as you want (and even in public). Skin is soft and supple when you wash it off. Highly recommend!
A STAPLE FOR EVERYONE'S COLLECTION
This. Palette. Is. Amazing. Too Faced created colors that are perfectly adaptable from day to night, office to dinner date, and breakfast to bedroom ;)
All neutral hues, the product contains 4 matte shades and 5 shimmers. The palette is organized in a useful manner that guides the creation of three different looks. The top 3 shades create a "Day" look, the middle 3 shades create a "Classic" look, and the bottom three shades create a "Fashion" look.
This organization makes the palette perfect for beginners, who will be appreciate that they can't go wrong if they follow the look-creating color suggestions. More advanced makeup lovers will have fun mixing and matching, blending different shades together to create totally unique results. All of the colors complement one another, so you can blend them together however you'd like. They are all very pigmented, long-lasting, and easily blendable.
I use this eyeshadow palette more than any other I own. It is high-quality, wearable, and flattering on my fair skin and blue eyes. Unlike with other palettes, I use every color. Love it!
Contour Beginners Rejoice!
Congratulations, you have stumbled across the product page of the most easy-to-use and natural-looking contour palette on the market! I was hesitant to purchase this, as I was nervous that even the light-medium kit would be too dark for my fair, freckly skin. This was not a problem! The swatches on this page are accurate. The contour shades can be applied lightly for very fair skin and are buildable if you want a more dramatic contour. I mix two contour shades (Java and Fawn) to create my ideal contour color. It does not look muddy or unnatural. Banana (the yellow-toned color) is essential for setting your concealer! It is matte and adds extra yellow-toned, brightening coverage. Sand (the neutral shade on the top left) is great for an all-over finishing powder and sculpting out your cheekbones under your contour, and Vanilla (top right) will give you a very subtle, shimmery highlight. I use this shade on my forehead and down my nose. I use this palette daily, and I have no desire to experiment with other powder contour kits – this one has everything I could ask for!
Flawless like a second skin
This foundation is perfect for spring and summer months! The texture is light and watery, and it honestly feels like a second layer of skin when you apply it. It will NOT feel or look caked on, and you won’t have to worry about sweating it off. It’s great for evening out your skin tone and making you look just a bit fresher than you naturally would. I would not recommend this for people who have a lot of acne to cover up, as coverage would probably be too light, but it is great for people who just want to mask a bit of redness or create a base for their makeup. Coverage is buildable, but I do still think it is best suited for people without many blemishes. I apply this with my hands and then press it in with a beauty blender, and it looks so natural. The extensive range of shades make this a great option for people with all skin tones – you will most certainly find your color match!
High-Coverage for those who need it most!
I have hereditary blue circles under my eyes – no matter how much sleep I get, they are always there. In my case, the truth, unfortunately, is that no cream will erase my circles and no concealer will completely hide them. This NARS concealer, however, has done the best job out of any other concealer I have tried! I am on my second tube and have played around with it a bit, so here are some tips:
1) Use an eye cream underneath this. It helps the under-eye stay hydrated, which prevents the concealer from looking patchy. 2) Double your coverage by using a corrector underneath. This concealer is very pigmented so it’s not totally necessary, but if you are like me and need serious help in the dark-circles department, this concealer lays really well over a corrector (I use Bobbi Brown). 3) Applying with your fingers works well if you are on a budget, but if not, using a beauty blender is the way to go. Once I started to press the concealer in with a sponge, it applied even smoother, and my setting powder even looked better on top of it. 4) When your product is almost out, scrape around the edges of the tube with your wand! You wanna get the most out of this awesome tube ☺
This is long-lasting, pigmented, blendable, and doesn’t crease. One tube lasts me about 5 months with daily use, so it’s also a great value. Definitely recommend!
