I use under-eye setting powder on a daily basis to avoid issues like cakey-looking makeup. It also helps me reduce my pores and lower my sebum production. Still, I don’t think this kind of product would solve the problem if that problem is a severe acne-prone complexion. In that case, you should only apply a…
When you’re on social media, how often do you use filters? I use a filter nearly every time I post a TikTok video! I love how filters give me flawless makeup and make my skin look amazing. But what if you could have that look in real life? Charlotte Tilbury tried to do that with…
When Tarte’s Shape Tape Concealer came out, I didn’t stop hearing about it. Even a good friend of mine, a drugstore beauty queen, told me she gladly pays the $31 for the concealer. Even hearing all the hype, I had to roll my eyes. While I love many Tarte products, specifically their lipstick and mascara,…
I’ve been wearing makeup constantly ever since I was around 12 years old, and foundation patchiness was a huge struggle for me. Now that I’m far more experienced with makeup and skincare, I shouldn’t be surprised. I have dry skin and struggled with acne when I was younger. My acne breakouts resulted in acne scars,…
Makeup trends come and go…and then they come back into the forefront decades later! We’re seeing this with 70s-era makeup. The 70s are one of my favorite time periods–after all, I’m a big fan of 70s-era rock music! But the 70s consisted of many movements, from the hippy movement to disco fever. Because of this,…
Elf is known for its high-quality yet affordable products, such as its primers. And their Jelly Pop Primer doesn’t get enough love. This mineral infused face primer is formulated with skin-healthy ingredients such as vitamins A, C, and E as well as niacinamide. It’s extremely hydrating and with a gel-like texture, the hydrating face primer…
The IT Cosmetics CC Cream is my number one high-end foundation. I know, I know. It isn’t technically a foundation. But girl, have you ever tried out this CC Cream? It applies and covers just like a full-coverage foundation does! If you’ve ever tried it out, you know exactly what I’m talking about. I’ve worn…
The lowdown: I really love Urban Decay Heavy Metal eyeliner, but it’s not for everybody. The Heavy Metal Glitter Gel Liners are perfect unless you are sensitive to liquid eye makeup. They are not a vegan formula, meaning a latex-like ingredient gives them a shiny/liquid texture. This is common for liners. However, if you are…
Is there a holographic eyeliner for sensitive eyes worth buying? There will likely never be a full glitter or glue-based product that sensitive eyes folks can use. We’ll always have to hunch over ingredient lists and troubleshoot products til the end of time. But all hope is not lost! Brands now include hypoallergenic formulas and…
Gucci makeup is luxurious for a reason. Whenever I used any Gucci product, I first hesitated when I saw the price tag. Then I thought, “you get what you pay for.” Sure enough, that was always the case with every Gucci product I used, including their Fluide de Beauty Fini Naturel (Natural Finish Fluid Foundation…
