MISSHA The Style Under Eye Brightener # 1 Light Beige

Image
6 g. Light beige is just the right shade for my yellow beige skin. I have to say that this concealer is surprisingly very good. I did not expected it to work that well. The texture is just right not to thick but not too thin. It has kind of creamy dry formula that is water resistant. It provides medium to high coverage. There are so many ways to use a concealer like this.  I like to mix it with some silicon primer, you can also mix it with lotion or add it to your favorite foundation to get a full / desirable coverage. I use it to cover my blemishes and it does the job very well. It has a tendency to crease a bit but nothing too drastic. I apply it with my finger and it blends nicely into the skin. The applicator gives you just the right about of the product and it spreads easily.

5 ml. This shade is lighter than I though it would be. It's creamy and it dries matte. The coverage is medium to high. It covers well dark circles and red pimples. Not really great at covering dry patches but you can add a bit of a silicon primer / lotion and it might do the trick. I use my finger to apply it. Little of this product goes a long way. Thanks to its texture it is easy to spread and blend in. Plus it is a water resistant formula. The brush gives a good precision and is very comfortable to use. It might crease a bit if you have fine lines but not as badly as any other concealer out there. Overall I think it's a product worth trying.

3.4 g. This is not an orangey red. It is more of a cooler toned red. It's highly pigmented bright red lipstick. You can just dab it a few times to get a natural look or go for a full coverage which is really bright and glossy (glossy as a lip balm). I find it easy to apply and spread. The texture is creamy soft and it melts nicely. It gives a neat application and doesn't smudge. The color stains the lips and gives a pretty long wear. The formula doesn't slide or get messy.

BBIA Last Lipstick Velvet Matte #01 Provocative

3.2 g. Scented (quite strong). It's a deep red cool toned color. The texture is velvety matte. You can simply dab it to get a bit of a product on the lips or go for a full coverage. The application is easy. I use my finger to spread it and blend it a bit. This lipstick does stain and it gives long time wear. It's hard to smear it off and the color doesn't fade as easily.  Since it's a matte lipstick it feels a bit drying.

No. 09 It's a muddy rose color / nude beige. The texture is soft and silky. I apply it with the brush. The color is suitable for everyday natural look. 

BBIA Shade And Shadow

3 g. Unscented. The texture is silky soft. All shades are matte and natural. 03 is light brown shade in warm. 04 is dark brown and 05 is cool toned dark grey shade with a hint of blue. I use my brush to apply it. These shadows create a very natural everyday look. 

Missha The Style Triple Perfection Shadow No 6

Image
2 g. Unscented. Basically it's a shimmer eyeshadow. The texture is very soft and easy to work with. I apply it with the tip of my finger and it goes smoothly. The shadows are fine, shimmery and slightly pearly. This khaki shade is very beautiful. It contains kind of goldish brown undertones that are not too bright nor dull. The colors are definitely buildable but not as pigmented as you expect them to be. I would suggest to use a primer. 

BBIA Pigment #06 Daylight

Image
1.8g. Unscented. I have been on a search for a really glamorous and good quality pigment. This pigment is very soft to the touch. I use my finger to apply it and it doesn't get messy. The glitter feels very soft and smooth. They (glitter and shimmer) may be a bit wet in texture so they just stick to the eyelid. I have noticed that glitter and simmer comes in different shapes and sizes. Daylight shade contains goldish as well as silver light shimmering particles. It doesn't look like a cheap glitter. It accentuates the eyes in a fine and elegant way.

BAVIPHAT Urban Dollkiss Pore Blur BB

30 ml. It has a floral scent not too strong. No SPF The shade is quite pale and it has an orangey undertone. The texture isn't heavy and is easy to work with. I use my fingers to apply it and it works just fine. It fills in the pores and neutralizes red skin tone. A little goes a long way. Try to use a bit of a product and see how it goes. If you take too much you may find yourself looking like a ghost. The formula doesn't feel silicony. It has a thick creamy texture but not oily and it dries kind of matte with a hint of moisture glow. It's not really good at covering dry patches but not too bad either. I think this product is worth trying.

TONYMOLY Crystal Marble Highlighter #2 Glow Gold

8 g. Lightly scented. This is two parts highlighter. The shimmer is very fine and the texture is very soft. It is easy to apply with a brush and it blends very well giving a nice glamours glow. But you should be careful not to apply too much of it (like any other highlighter). The only problem with highlighters is that you have to have clear skin. I have an oily acne prone skin and highlighters doesn't look good on it. It exaggerated my uneven skin and large pores. But I can use it as a body luminizer. It can also be used as an eyeshadow unless you have a hooded eyes in which case I wouldn't suggest it to you.

Innisfree Mineral Single Cream Eyeshadow No5

6.3 g.  Unscented. As you can see the shade depends a lot on lightning. It can go from dark brown to khaki brown shade. The pigmentation is quite good, light but I think it's buildable. The texture is creamy but it goes on dry so you have to work fast cause it might get a bit clumpy. I have noticed that applying it with the finger helps to melt the product. I was hoping for it to be more pigmented than shimmery but I think it depends on the eye shadow primer that you may use as a base. Keep in mind that sparkles and shimmer are highly present in this eyeshadow!

ETUDE HOUSE Kissful Tint Choux Strawberry

4.2g. It has a candy sweet scent that is slightly strong in my opinion. The shade is cool pink and milky type. The consistency is quite similar to a lip gloss or liquid lip balm. The stain is barely noticeable. This tint creates wet and moisten looking lips. The gloss doesn't smug or slide. Also it fills in the wrinkles and gives a nice gloss to the lips.
