Leaves skin so soft and smooth

I must say I really like this balm -- so much so, I am making double cleansing part of my routine. If I use this step last in my cleansing process, my skin stays soft all night long -- which is very impressive, especially for a cleanser!

Ultimate matte

You want to be matte? Here you go, and except for a few exceptions, "Bye Bye Pores" is true. I have five or six exceptionally large pores that nothing save cement could cover, but the overwhelming majority of my pores disappear with this powder. Combine this powder with a setting spray, and your makeup will be SUPER matte all day.

My all-time favourite nude

This is the only cool-toned nude I can wear, and still look natural. Long-lasting formula is superb, and the *only* matte formula that looks good. If I could only include one liquid lip in my collection, this would literally be it

Now THIS is what I'm talking about

You can wear this alone, or you can pair it with your favourite nude/peach/coral lip colour. No stickiness, no tendrils of lip gloss every time you open your mouth - just flattering, pretty colour. If you wear it alone the pigment will show up, in a natural but noticeable way. I would buy this again, 10/10.

Excellent formula; poor colour match to advertisment

So disappointed to wear a colour-correcting concealer on my lips, but that's what this shade looks like on me. Definitely no match *at all* with the peachy-nude in the fair-skinned photo. Nevertheless, the long-lasting formula is true to the excellent Jeffree Star Cosmetics formula, and if this colour works on you, I am envious. But I'll be sticking with Mannequin for now

Mattefying and high but lightweight coverage.

I chose this shade because of my very fair and pink skin. I did not expect to become alabaster, and of course I did not. What I got was very even skin tone, excellent blemish coverage, and a natural, lightweight finish. I definitely noticed some tiny cracking around my nostrils and chin -- which was easily corrected with a few taps of my finger.

Bye Bye Redness seems like a mattefying high-coverage foundation/concealer combo, but without the heavy weight or cakiness of industrial strength makeup. However, I needed a BeautyBlender to get this light weight effect. Even with small amounts of product, the finish from my foundation brush was too thick, but the BB sheered everything down. If you have a precision brush and a light touch, you will definitely camouflage red blemishes with a few careful strokes.

I don't recommend piling foundation on top of this or any formula, but I tried it with my regular foundation out of curiosity, and my skin looked better with the Bye Bye Redness alone. I would definitely repurchase this.

Great pigment and no goop; washes out fair complexions.

I've never worn edgy lip colour, but I wanted to take the plunge. On fair complexions, Structure is definitely not a conservative shade. This griege has very faint rose undertones that only show up on blotting tissue, so my lips were completely washed out by the creamy, goop-free coverage. Blotting it on instead of applying it directly was much more flattering. I added some violet-gold shimmer powder, and tada! Edgy lip colour without a washed-out face. I would definitely try different lip shades from OCC.

Ideal for highlighting bridge of nose, cupid's bow, and chin

What a soft and luxe brush. Do you want a sheer, light application? Here's the brush for you. Want something a little more intense? You might have to reapply product several times. I do love this brush for its gentle and controlled application of highlighter to the bridge of my nose, my cupid's bow, and chin. My cheekbones took about 4 swipes, but it's worth mentioning I apply a lot of concealer in this area, and it's harder to see highlighter on very fair complexions like mine.
