Beautiful pick me up powder

I tend to use minimal (if any foundation) and just concealer and powder most days. For comparison I have the CT flawless finish (1) powder which I adore and does give me an airbrushed look. But I like to use it just in my T-zone and to cover pores.

My skin has very neutral undertones so often I need a bit of a brighter and this powder does that. It’s a typical high quality By Terry product (blendable, finely milled etc) but what I love about it is the color- I purposely purchased the “rosey” #2 (which isn’t rosey- more of a fair color with a slight pink undertone) because I didn’t want another powder that matched my skin, I wanted one that enhanced it.

This does both- you can use the outside ring for a mattifying powder all over (I use it with a small sized face brush and buff it in all over) and then use the center highlighter in between the brows, down the nose and on the high planes of the face; or mix both together.

I adore the highlighter- it’s really a fine powder that adds luminosity. No glitter, no shine, just like an inner light reflects off wherever you put it. Amazing and can be used by itself on “no makeup makeup days” without looking harsh or as a”base” for amping up your highlighter look (day to evening etc).

Love this product!

Worth the price

This is a high quality blush. I purchased 003 and it is a heavy compact with stunning dual shades. They are pigmented but not chalky, there is no fallout. It does not show pores or texture , and actually has a blurring effect that melts into the skin. I love to swirl my brush within both shade sides to create my own shade or if I have a bit of extra time I’ll take a fan brush to the lighter shade for my cheeks and then use the darker shade higher up on my cheek bone and blend into my contour/bronzer/highlighter. This blends beautifully on the skin. I have fair skin and it looks as amazing with a light hand in winter as it does in summer when I’m more tan. It lasts all day. I started to use it almost daily and it looks new.

Actually magic

I was hesitant to buy this product as I adore my Sisley phyto cernes éclat eye concealer and I also have the fan favorite Nars creamy concealer and the Givenchy color corrector. So why do I need this? It’s well- just kinda awesome. The technological claims - eh- maybe they are true.. I’m not sure- but what I am sure about is the following: it truly does create a beautiful and perfect under eye canvas in about 2 seconds flat which is perfect for early mornings. I’ve never had any eye product creasing issues but this actually makes my under eye look perfect.. I mean spot on perfect (and I don’t bake or anything) in both texture and color all day. It doesn’t budge. I don’t have fine lines (only when I smile) but I’m 37, so I am always aware of not caking on too much product in that area. This is perfect. It also does wonders around the nose and mouth are — again it has an emollient texture but u like Nars- wherever you pat it in... it stays. I bought a shade lighter than my skin tone in 2 to brighten. It’s my new HG. I’m purchasing a second one.

Stunning little minx

It’s named after Parisian gardens. That is literally what my eyes look like today after using this palette. It is classic Viseart- 4 mattes, 4 shimmers- all highly pigmented and blendable! It’s got a sturdy magnet that holds it together and although, yes, it’s cardboard- it seems like it would hold up ok in a travel makeup bag. Love love love this one. It’s my third Viseart product and I am so happy with their curation of colors, their pigmentation, longevity ( I don’t wear a base and never touch up) and beautiful ability to blend! A+

Highly pigmented, infinitely blend-able

Viseart has done it again- these shades are truly beautiful and in comparison to their more MUA friendly packaging this can slide right into your suitcase/ makeup bag etc and you need not worry about it breaking. The mirror is large and perfect as well as a “all my makeup” mirror. I love the packaging- perfect for the colors. Now onto the color scheme- 9 shimmers and 3 mattes... but I would classify the “shimmers” (most except for 3) to be more satin and very wearable for work. It’s not too cool toned, not too warm toned.. it’s just very wearable. I’ve created multiple looks from this palette and is a go-to for that Viseart quick “blend 3 colors in 5 mins and look like you spent an hour on your eyes” thing they are known for. As mentioned before the color scheme is surprisingly expansive - it may look like a “warm toned purple/pink palette” but the golden tones warm up to more of a sophisticated darker bronze gold undertone that creates dimension. Even the most burgundy shade surprised me in wearability and as a great base for some of the shimmers to again, create easy dimension. Love this palette- may possibly buy the golden hour one too.

Patchy after a few hours

So- I’m still on the fence. This is my first JS Lip ammunition product, so first the positives: I love the creamy application - I know others have complained about the application but perhaps the chrome collection formula improved. Normally I don’t go for something as opaque as this- but honestly it’s so beautiful and it feels like it’s staying there. It looks gorgeous on - I have highly pigmented lips so finding a nude that doesn’t have brown undertones has been a problem for me. This looks gorgeous and doesn’t make my lips look muddy or alternatively as if I swiped concealer on them. Problem is that 3-4 hours later it seems to “break up” on my lips- it gets clumpy and patchy. I am not sure why. I want to play around with this a bit more before deciding to keep it or not, and see if perhaps my lip balm is the issue or what. I did notice that if I put a gloss on top it sorta masked the patchiness but - patchy it still was. I will investigate and report back. Anyone else have this problem?

Perfect for unifying skintone

As many others did; I purchased this after the Wayne Goss review/Youtube video. I like it for "no makeup" days (although I sort of consider this makeup). The product does exactly what it says: it unifies the hue of the skin with a slight "glow" or warmth. While it can seem a bit "red" at first (I have very fair skin), I highly rated the product for ease of use. It really does give a "healthy glow"- as if I had been outside- except without the harmful UV rays. I have recently had a bout of cycstic acne and redness and what I really like about this product is that it kinda unifies everything- it brings my natural skin tone up to a little bit bronzed and brings down the redness of my pimples. It actually is really more like a beautiful facial tanner - well one that actually works. Zero streaking, completely unified coverage - it's really simple to use and idiot proof.

Some seem to be complaining about not having sunscreen or not being a moisturizer etc. Ok.. but it doesn't claim to be any of these things. I use it after I put on my usual moisturizer and my sunscreen. Then put on lip balm, mascara and I'm done. I get compliments on my skin "glowing". That is enough for 5 stars. Particularly considering the fact that my skin is going through a rough patch right now and due to using Retin-A for the acne, I can't use foundation at all.

This stuff is magic. Buy it.
