First-Impression Review: this surprised me for being as tinted as it was. It is a product that can be used 3 ways – beneath, mixed, or over foundation. I used it as a primer. It made my face very shiny, & I found that there is glitter in this formula. There’s no scent to it.
➡️ Shade: LI02 Gleam
💰 Price: $7.50

👉 NYX ‘Born to Glow!’ Naturally Radiant Foundation
First-Impression Review: I was attracted to this foundation, because it comes in a squeezy-tube, & I love that aspect! I do enjoy applying foundation with my hands, & this is an excellent formula for that. I found that a little goes a LONG way. It is full coverage, as it fully covered my melasma. It did give me a natural & radiant finish as promised.
➡️ Shade: Light
💰 Price: $10 (price varies w/ retailer)

👉 Revolution Pro ‘Sculpt and Glow’ Contour and Highlight Palette
First-Impression Review: instead of sculpting my face, I used the darker shade more like I would a bronzer, & I loved it! It’s a buildable formula, so it applies very lightly (without patchiness or skipping). The highlight is a blinding highlight, but it can be easily diffused with a larger brush for a more subtle application. There is definitely a shimmer-base to the highlight, but no glitter.
➡️ Shade: Desert Sky
💰 Price: $12.00

👉 Milk Makeup ‘Kush Fiber’ Brow Gel
First-Impression Review: I don’t think I’ve ever loved the color as much as I love the color of THIS product! It is my absolute favorite shade for my brows. I like that the applicator is small, but not enough product carries onto the wand for a lengthy distribution. I had to keep re-dipping, which got annoying.
First-Impression Review: I’ve been dying to try this palette, & when I finally opened it to create a look – I sat & looked at the shades with uncertainty. There’s not a deep matte included for creating depth, so that really eliminates a TON of looks with a single palette. For the available colors, I LOVE the offerings & varied formulas. I found the shades to be unusually powdery, & due to that I got a lot of fallout. I really like the compact size of this palette & I will use it to create light, ethereal looks.
➡️ Shade: Random
💰 Price: $28

👉 MAC Matte Lipstick
First-Impression Review: this is an iconic shade that I really, really wanted in my collection. It is a rich nude shade that anybody can pull off. I enjoy a matte lip, & luckily this particular one brings comfort along with its finish.

I think this foundation is too light for your skin tone
