not good for combo skin

it made my dry parts flaky and would quickly rub off of my t-zone. the color range and consistency and coverage is great but it didnt work for my skin. what i dont understand is that it didnt work on my dry skin, I thought this was good for that?

highest coverage EVER

i have the worst dark circles and my regimen was basically using a bunch of diff high end concealers to get enough coverage until I found this gem. it creases but if you use a powder all should be perfect. never using another concealer again.

best mac foundation

I have combination skin and this works for both my dry and oily areas!!! the coverage is just right and you dont really need to use powder over it, just on oily areas if anything.

this is the best liquid eyeliner out there, high end or low end. most liquid eyeliners dry out quick but not this one, and its brush tip allows great precision.

best mattifying sheets I've ever used

Other sheets Ive used have had powder debris but these have no such thing of the sort. Effective and never messy, these literally absorb the oil from any spot on your face like a magnet - just lightly pat onto the affected area and lift. Inspecting the oil you so resent on the sheet afterwards is optional. Never removes makeup. Perfect! I so prefer this than touching up or repowdering because that eventually looks cakey.

Efficient inexpensive cleanser

A little bit more expensive than your average drugstore cleanser, but also a little bit more efficient than your drugstore cleanser! I recommend this for normal to combination to oily skin types - it might be a little drying or irritating for dry or sensitive skin types. I'm dry/combination oily and this does slightly exacerbate my dry patches. The fragrance is fantastically refreshing but the 'brightening' complex isnt super noticeable. There are little pink 'exfoliating' beads but I dont recommend using this alone without an exfoliator, theyre not enough. I imagine this stuff could be game changing for oily/acne-prone skin types, though.

removes more peach fuzz than blackheads

I will admit that I use these to remove the dark peach fuzz that comes with being a dark skinned/pale lady on my chin and nose..hahaha. These arent strong enough to penetrate into the pores and remove my blackheads though..I will see perhaps 10 come out on a good day. I recommend steaming your face very well before using this for a better chance at catching more of these buggers, but overall this sholdnt be your go-to blackhead product..a regimen of AHA's or BHA's depending on your skin type and a good toner will make a far more dramatic and permanent difference than these flimsy strips. But I must admit that they do differ in efficiency depending on the person..I guess something to do with skin types and porousness? But I do have quite large pores and it was still average.

a slightly less moisturizing clinique dupe

I used up about 2 bottles of this moisturizer; definitely the BEST drugstore moisturizer out there for oily/combo skins. The only gripe I have with it is that I do have some dry patches (definitely more dry than oily here, so if you're that exception..) and unfortunately this isnt luxurious enough to moisturize those. I moved on to using Clinique's Dramatically Different Lotion which I find does take care of my dry patches better. But if youre normal-oily combo/oily, this is the moisturizer for you.

best eyeliner Ive ever tried

I havent tried too many high end eyeliners, but nothing can get better than this stuff, so even if I found something comparable..the cost of this would obviously render anything high-end obsolete. I am finally able to line my waterline! It really is waterproof and smudge free..only thing is that youll need a good eye makeup remover for this! Awesome staying power. I only wish they had it in colors like nude or white.

dries far too quickly

This is alright stuff for the first 2 weeks. Then it becomes a shakeweight..you find yourself helplessly shaking and shaking it to get anything on your eyes. The felt tip pen is a great innovation that you can find in better brands like Stila's.
