NARS All Yours Air Matte Lip Color ($26.00 for 0.24 oz.) is a medium peach with warm, orange undertones and a satin finish. It applied and looked lighter than when swatched, and it also had a little more of a dry down on my lips than when swatched on my arm. It had nearly opaque pigmentation in a single layer, so it wasnt as buildable as marketed. The texture was lightweight, smooth, and velvety, which allowed it to spread well across my lips, and it felt lightweight and flexible while on. Th...

Rare Beauty Nearly Berry Stay Vulnerable Melting Cream Blush ($21.00 for 0.17 oz.) is a rich, raspberry red with cooler undertones and a satin finish. It seemed more emollient initially as the texture was lightweight, creamy, and had a lot of moisture and glide, but it was quick to turn to a more powder-like finish once it came into contact with skin, which gave it more of a satin to semi-matte finish in practice. It had semi-sheer to medium, buildable coverage, but the way the formula worked...

Rare Beauty Nearly Mauve Stay Vulnerable Liquid Eyeshadow ($20.00 for 0.1 oz.) is a medium-dark coral with moderate, warm undertones and barely-there gold pearl strewn through a more matte finish. The shimmer was very subtle in person, so those who arent into shimmer probably wouldnt have an issue with it here (its just that subtle!). The texture was lightweight, airy, and like a whipped mousse, which made it easy to apply and spread over the skin, though it was naturally inclined to sheer ou...

Rare Beauty Nearly Mauve Stay Vulnerable Glossy Lip Balm ($18.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a muted, rosy plum with subtle, warm undertones and a jelly-like finish. It had moderate shine with translucency as it had sheerer coverage, as marketed, that allowed the natural lip color to come through. The texture was lightweight, smooth, and like a balmy gel, so plush and cushiony without being tacky. It lasted well for two and a half hours and felt moisturizing while worn. Rare Beauty Nearly Neutral Stay V...

Charlotte Tilbury Fair (2.5) Hollywood Flawless Filter ($44.00 for 1 oz.) is a light-medium, peachy gold with warmer, more golden undertones and a luminous, pearl-like sheen. The shimmer was very, very fine, so it had a lit-from-within effect rather than appearing overtly shimmery, even when applied as a standalone highlighter. The consistency was lightweight, fluid, and more gel-like, as it spread readily across bare skin and over foundation without lifting it up. It can be used as a highlig...
