This is super creamy and blends like a dream. I use a cool-toned shade and it gives me the most natural-looking sculpt. Not patchy at all, and honestly performs like a high-end cream contour.
Sun Sculpt Liquid Contour-Warm Honey

I use the shade "Blueberry Chip" and it gives me a soft, healthy flush. It melts into the skin and creates a blurred, pastel finish perfect for a clean girl look.

This holds my lashes all day. It doesn’t smudge, doesn’t flake, and makes my lashes look naturally curled and defined. I don’t even need a lash curler most days.

Great neutral shades with just the right amount of shimmer. Easy to blend, decent pigment, and barely any fallout. I reach for this every week.

Super hydrating with a cooling effect. It gives a natural tint that’s perfect for no-makeup days. I use it on both my lips and cheeks sometimes!

Dual brushes = length and volume in one tube. I use this when I want drama without clumps. Lashes look full but still soft and fluttery.
