Formal Evening Makeup
“It's also super natural, a very subtle highlight (I have very very light skin too) - definitely not for evening wear. I absolutely love it but it will definitely not work on most skintones”
Makeup For Winter Formal
“Cons: almost too pigmented, and I can’t believe I’m saying that. On my fair winter skin, even one swipe is too much. I can’t seem to get the hang of application”
Elegant Makeup
“I love this primer it feels so silky and just makes my foundation go on beautifully, I personally love the floral scent it has which I do truly enjoy the packaging is also very nice and elegant the only downside for me would be that I do find it pricey”
Demure Makeup
“These are absolutely perfect for everyday; the shimmers are subtle yet buildable, and the mattes are great for a "demure" look. All the colors are buildable actually and could be used to create a dramatic smoky eye or a simple look”
Dramatic Makeup
“It's natural and light, makes it look like you're glowing from within. Perfect for everyday makeup for work or school”
Makeup For Special Occasions
“The shade is good for my skintone, sure, but what makes this special is the formula. I've only applied it with my fingers and it feels and blends like a cream upon application”
Casual Makeup
“I usually never get any lipstick that isn’t matte finish but I absolutely LOVE this colour/finish. Super casual but also could wear it going out. Doesn’t leave your lips feeling dry after”
Simple Makeup
“Overall I can see this being a great option for someone who wants simple, basic colors that will work in every situation”
Ethereal Makeup
“The lightweight formula effortlessly enhances my complexion, giving an instant ethereal glow without any chunky glitter. I absolutely love how it brightens my skin and evens out the tone, thanks to the addition of vitamin C”
Prom Eye Makeup
“I discovered this 5 years ago when I was looking for the world's best eyeliner to wear to my prom. I've worn it everyday since, and I can't imagine what I'd do without it”
