this affordable skin tint is stunning. it is a higher coverage than the usual skin tints in the market but it does not feel cakey at all. I usually mix this and the estee lauder double wear for an everyday long-lasting natural finish. I like how the ...

NYX Professional Makeup Vegan Micro Eyebrow Pencil - 07 Espresso - 0.003oz
i like how this makes a subtle difference. it is perfect for everyday eyebrows especially if you are too lazy to use a pencil. it naturally fills in the sparse areas of eyebrows. the only con is it can sometimes get clumpy.

these are makeup products i don't love, but i do think they deserve honorable mentions. i may not love because of my oily skin type or it was a product i did not mind but you may love and worth mentioning here

CC+ Cream Full Coverage Color Correcting Foundation with SPF 50+
i like this concealer as an under-eye concealer but i don't like how the small glitters accentuate spot concealing. would not buy this again, but if you like a brightening, moisturizing, and very slight sparkles in certain light angles- this is your ...
Beautiful Skin Medium to Full Coverage Radiant Concealer with Hyaluronic Acid
