How I Beat My Face

Purple Star emoji 21 items
I have a red under tone, my features are high contrast, and I prefer classic makeup looks. Any products I get as gifts, through work, friend’s discount, or I purchase myself is typically something I’ve used to death. When it comes to makeup I’m a bit...

Ok what I do is I put the burgundy on my bottom set of lashes for a nice but not wildly noticeable contrast and it looks really good. L’Oréal voluminous mascara is the best mascara out. I’m new to the different colors as of a couple of months ago but...

I am an earth sign through and through so I love getting palettes with these natural tones that compliment my undertone and overall aesthetic. I think the quality of the colors is pretty good. I love how my eyes look every time I use this. The purple...

My L’Oréal Paris Voluminous mascara finished and I just got gifted this so I figure, why not. Don’t have time to restock and why not save a buck. Not a fan. I need the drama. If you do not want drama, this is for you. You know where I would wear this...
Lash Idôle Lash Lift Mascara - Lifting & Volumizing - Lancôme

Gifted product. Great black liquid liner. Goes on smooth. Easy to apply. I haven’t used the red color pencil on the other side yet but I’ll try to remember. The red color pencil isn’t a sell for me so if it came without the pencil side or the pencil ...

Gifted. This is my everyday eyeshadow look. If I’m running late for work I throw this in my small purse and apply it on the subway. Perfect colors to compliment my skin tone. The pigment is really good as well so you really can’t go wrong here.

I was never a lip liner girly until I tried this a year/year and a half ago? I don’t want to say it’s the best lip liner out there simply because I have tried a slew of others to have an informed opinion but I have found this to be a solid and reliab...

A great clear gloss does exist and in my opinion this is it. It makes my lips look and feel great. The only con and this could be user error because I’m heavy handed with any and all products I use but sometimes it runs a bit past the base of my lip....
Non-Sticky Clear Crystal Lip Gloss

I received a travel size with a Sephora purchase. This was my first lip oil and I must say, it’s a nice product. It’s not my favorite makeup product and I’m still getting used to the concept for so far I’m enjoying using it. Chapstick has a certain f...

Ok so I have at least 4-6 lip products in my purse. It builds up quickly lol. I was recently gifted this and I fell in love instantly. It reminds me of a lush lip balm with slightly more stickiness but it doesn’t feel like a lip gloss. No clue but I ...

Another gifted product that I love. I will NEVER tire of a lip gloss and idc how many times my hair gets stuck to my lip! If you’re a millennial girlie, please buy this for yourself. It will make you happy. They make your lips look phenomenal and it’...

Fragrance free, not greasy or runny (and therefore shiny) on your lips, it’s not a thick formula, and you can’t tell that you have anything on your lips (so if you don’t want to seem like you reapplied something to touch up your face, you won’t be ab...

Yea…so I was not expecting to immediately love this lipstick. Very impressed. The magnetic case, the style of the case, the printed pattern on the lipstick are all wonderful but the texture of the formula and how softly it applied is my favorite thin...

I have been wearing 65 religiously since I got it as a Christmas present in December. Was hesitant because I’m relatively new to blush and up until this point I’ve used powder but it sits wonderfully on the skin and blends in a seamless way. It’s wor...

No clue how long I’ve been using this palette but if it’s tried and true so I keep it on me. lol My color is 4N75. I use it to contour. It’s solid, nothing more to add. Wait I do have more to say, I like the mirror on it and I use a brush not the spo...
HD SKIN MATTE VELVET

Tried and true. Just recommended this to a friend last week. This quality of this foundation can’t be understated. I’ve been a loyalist for years and I love it. The shade range is pretty wide so everyone should be able to find their matching tone. Wh...
Double Wear Stay-in-Place Foundation

My favorite thing about this is its size. With smaller purses coming back in style it’s honestly perfect for touching up on the powder room or bathroom if you’re out. I’ve found this color to be a perfect match for my skin tone and is a good-to for m...
Mini Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Powder - Charlotte ...
 
Shemeeka Greaves profile picture
This is my everyday highlighter. What I love about this product is that it doesn’t do too much. Even when I’m heavy handed it doesn’t look ridiculous. I flick it on the tip of my nose, the bow of my lip or sometimes I only where it and I don’t add bl...

I use 6W and it’s just wonderful. My make up looks professionally done when I add the concealer on top of the foundation. Anyway I love the consistency and texture of the formula. It layers well with the foundation. Don’t look greasy, it lasts, hones...

Great price alternative to O/S and Charlotte Tilbury. Great size. My makeup stayed on for hours during a photo shoot. I needed no touchups. No smell either! Buy this!

Shemeeka Greaves profile picture
Old reliable. Great coverage. Pigment and overall quality of this product is the reason I’ve come back to it after all these years. I have nothing really to add to the chorus of those who’ve loyally used this for years. This will always make my top r...

My Estée Lauder order of Double Wear foundations that I swear by is delayed so I ordered this. Heard rumblings that it was good and I’m here to tell you that it is a decent alternative if you’re looking for good coverage. This is a great drugstore ba...
