The applicator is precision perfect and product long lasting. Does not smudge. What I like about this one is you can buy it in the mini size so it’s less likely to dry out before you’re ready to replace.

This step is called industrial stress, and they mean it. I used to use it to cover up a tattoo on my wrist when I was working in fine dining. It also covers up dark circles under your eyes like magic. This is a perfect product.

This is another drugstore product that I will absolutely swear by. The longevity and the pigmentation is perfect. It feels great on, does not dry out your lips. Great for overlining if you’re into that kind of thing. Price point is great.
