just a tiny dab will do ya
You barely need any at all and it will cover up any blemish or red spot/scar you might have. Set it with a little powder and it won't go anywhere all day. I don't recommend it for under eyes as it's way too dry - it's not really meant for that. If you want it for serious under eye darkness I suggest mixing it with eye cream. If it goes cakey on you, you're probably using way too much. You only need a pinhead size amount per spot!
great for oily skin/blemishes
When I had acne I used this regularly and it's fantastic for that. It's gritty enough to really scrub on its own so you don't have to do the work. It made my skin feel so smooth afterward and I swear helped blemishes heal faster. BF uses this occasionally for breakouts and even though it smells weird (according to him - I like the earthy smell), he agrees it's quite effective!
One thing to note though is that they reformulated it so that it contains silica as the scrubby agent rather than sugar (or perhaps in addition to the sugar) because the sugar was dissolving before people got a chance to finish the product.
so lovely
These feel sooooo rich and creamy on the lips. The pigmentation of Premiere and Nude Scene are both surprisingly good, even on pigmented lips. I really like the tiny, compact packaging too. Space is at a premium in one's purse, so that's a plus. These are a win - wish there were more shades!
lives up to the hype!
Fabulous range of shades going beyond great neutrals - you can do so many looks with these. I also love that there are shimmers and mattes. The shadows are like BUTTA - but be careful or you'll make a mess since some brushes 'chew' up soft shadows. The pigmentation is soooo on point, even with the palest of matte shades. No chalky mattes here, ladies & gents! I totally bought this just because of all the raves on Youtube, etc. and I am happy to say I am NOT disappointed in the slightest. It's so affordable, too! Great value!!!
for the rosy complected
The rose-bronze color is awesome for me because when I do get sun, I never look golden. My skin's undertones are pink as the day is long, so anything too golden or too bronzey looks awful on me. The rosiness of this color is what makes it really work. I actually have used this to contour my cheeks with and it looks stellar. This was one of those colors that I wanted for a long time but people told me over and over it wouldn't work for me, but I was right so nanny nanny boo boo. ;)
really wanted to love it
I hate how this looks on my lips. It just doesn't apply evenly no matter what I do. It settles into lines and highlights any imperfection or dryness. It's okay on cheeks, and very natural looking... but it can also be mistaken for just having ruddy cheeks, not always a desired look. Also, I hate the rose fragrance. I know other gals love it but it's just not for me.
