Provides good coverage but tends to look cakey in person, making it better suited for camera use. It also clogs pores, leading to occasional breakouts. Given that I have combination skin and deal with hormonal acne, these factors make me hesitant to ...
Photo Focus Foundation MATTE | Wet n Wild
Lightweight, but tends to disappear from certain areas of the face. It also caused breakouts for me.
Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Oil Free Liquid Foundation - 1 fl oz
I liked the good coverage it provided, especially when I had acne. It stays on all day and has a pleasant scent. However, it was a bit drying and accentuated my skin texture. Overall, a reliable foundation option.

This foundation offers excellent coverage and stays on for long hours, making it suitable for occasions requiring lasting wear. However, it feels heavy on the skin and tends to clog pores due to its thick consistency. Blending can be challenging as a...
Super Stay Full Coverage Foundation - Maybelline - $13.99
The wide shade range makes finding a match easy. It blends fairly well for a lightweight, natural finish. However, it can look patchy on acne-prone skin and doesn't stay consistent throughout the day. It's good for everyday wear but may not suit ever...
True Match Super-Blendable Foundation - L'Oréal
This foundation feels lightweight and has a pleasant scent. However, it falls short in coverage, not providing the expected level of concealment for imperfections. Additionally, it tends to change in appearance on the skin throughout the day. Overall...
Rimmel Lasting Finish 25Hr Liquid Foundation +SPF20, 100 Ivory, 1 fl oz
This foundation is lightweight and gives a dewy look, which I found pleasantly surprising. It offers impressive coverage and durability, making it suitable for everyday wear. I particularly liked how it provided a natural finish while still covering ...

I think Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara is a solid choice for anyone looking for length and volume, as it really does a great job of making lashes look long and defined without clumping. That said, it doesn’t hold a curl as well as I’d l...
Blackest Black Lash Sensational Sky High Mascara - Maybelline | Ulta Beauty
I’ve recently tried Essence Lash Without Limit Brown Mascara, and I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised. I never used brown mascara before and always thought it was unnecessary, but after trying it, I now use it almost every day. The brown color ...
Ultra Black Lash Without Limits Extreme Lengthening & Volume ...
L’Oréal Voluminous Lash Paradise Mascara is praised for its dramatic volume and length, but when I bought it, the tube was dry and almost unusable, which was a huge disappointment. Many users love its soft, feathery finish, but some also find it pron...
Blackest Black Voluminous Lash Paradise Volume Mascara - L'Oréal | Ulta Beauty
I personally used Essence Lash Princess Mascara and loved how it gave me long, black lashes right from the start, so it looked amazing when first applied. I gave it a chance a few times, but each time it performed the same—smudging and fading through...
Black Lash Princess False Lash Effect Mascara | Ulta Beauty
I’ve used Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara a few times, and I was pleasantly surprised by its performance. It gives impressive length and separation, with a curved brush that helps reach even the smallest lashes for a fanned-out effect. While it’s...
Very Black Lash Sensational Mascara - Maybelline | Ulta Beauty
I’ve used Maybelline Telescopic Mascara a few times, and it’s definitely a great option for adding length to your lashes. The ultra-thin brush coats each lash for a defined, elongated look, but the liquid formula can be a bit tricky to work with, mak...
Blackest Black Telescopic Original Washable Mascara - L'Oréal
I’ve tried Maybelline Falsies Lash Lift Mascara a few times, and I’m really impressed with how it lifts and volumizes lashes. The curved brush coats each lash from root to tip, creating a dramatic, wide-eyed effect, but it tends to put a lot of produ...
Blackest Black Falsies Lash Lift Washable Mascara - Maybelline
I’m currently using Essence Extreme Volume Mascara, and I’m honestly surprised by its performance given the price. The thick, full brush creates bold, voluminous lashes that make a dramatic impact, and in my opinion, it performs at the same level as ...
