Shade - 95 Captivated. Let it dry for a few seconds, and it’ll last all day. You can eat, drink - no need to re-apply. It dries down with a glossy finish somehow, but there’s zero color transfer. You can kiss someone or drink from a cup, it won’t smu...

This product is the one — it has no dupes. It’s the only one that gives me the exact look I’m going for. I usually use it in the summer, when I want my freckles to peek through, but still want a bit of pigment to chisel out my face. It’s perfect for ...

My skin is combination to dry. They also have a matte version that a lot of my friends use. It doesn’t dry out the skin, instead, it gives a radiant, healthy-looking finish. Truly reliable. I’ve been using it for years! P.S. It doesn’t oxidize.

Another one from the Fit Me collection! It’s not full coverage, but it’s super creamy and gives a radiant, flawless finish. Medium coverage that looks like skin. The best part? It doesn’t oxidize.

It is very nourishing and moisturizing for the lips. It's not sticky, which is great, and it also has subtle sparkles
Avon True Lip Oil

It has a texture similar to a gloss, but it's also creamy at the same time — it's hard to describe, but it looks beautiful on the skin. It gives a glossy-skin effect without moving the makeup underneath.

I’ve been using this for years - it truly looks like a filter on the skin. It smooths everything out, no visible pores. Plus, it’s pigmented, so you get more coverage, especially under the eyes. Absolutely love it!
