Make Up Review

By: Veronica 

Concealer

  • Kylie Jenner Concealer: I just got this product a few days ago so I have only used it a couple times. This product has great coverage and is light on my skin. I hate when products are thick and heavy so this is good for me. 
  • Maybelline Photo Focus Fit me Concealer: I enjoy this product because it has amazing coverage. It blends into my skin well and does a great job at covering up acne and most spots on my face. The only spots that tend to show are my darker freckles. 

Eyeshadow

  • Hallo Berlin Essence Palette: There are nine highly pigmented colors inspired by the lifestyle of Berlin. There are matte and metallic shades. I first bought this palette because I wanted a good black that wasn’t thin on pigment or colors more gray than black. Even the lightest pink has a full pigment that can cover darker brown shades from other palettes. This product is also vegan. 
  • Jaclyn Hill Ring the Alarm Morphe Palette: This palette has some amazing colors in it. I use some browns to create a smokey eye. The glittery colors are completely glittery not just on the top layer. My favorite colors in this palette are On Camera, Mugshot, & Secret. 
  • The Mauves by Juvia’s Palette: “A sleek and beautiful hand picked soft mauve color to create beautiful looks” is what the package says and the colors are absolutely gorgeous. There are six color pressed pigments. This product is cruelty free. 

Foundation

  • Covergirl Clean Liquid Foundation: I love this foundation because it blends into my skin so well. It is not cakey or thick. It is a thinner product with semi full coverage so it looks natural. 

Highlighter

  • Soap & Glory Peach Party Highlight: It has four main colors. I love all the colors except for the more brown colored highlight because it is too dark and doesn’t work with my skin tone at all. 

Lipstick

  • Absolute New York Lipstick: I personally love their Dark Red(NFA52) Shade. This is a Matte color. The red is gorgeous and is strong. The only downside is that it does tend to get on my lips if I put on slightly too much. 
  • L.A. Girls Flat Finish Pigment Gloss: I like the matte shade that is Rebel (GLG843). This is a long wear formula. It is a bit thick but has a great color. 

NYX Professional Makeup Lipstick: I have a theme of loving reds and darker shade lipsticks. In this brand I have many favorites but I enjoy the shade Copenhagen((SMLC20). This one is a matte lip cream so it is a bit thicker.
