  • Lorac 3D Liquid Lustre, $16
ONLY FREAKING $16 AT SEPHORA. I’d expect this to be more expensive based on the reviews I’ve heard. It’s a gooorgeous shimmering top coat for the eyes and cheeks. Dupe for MAC’s finely milled pigments, except this already is an adhesive. 
Rated 4.4/5 on makeupalley.com and 4.5 stars on Ulta’s website.
WANT WANT WANT. Holy craaaap.

  • do you wear tinted moisturizers? if you do, what are your favorites?
    Anonymous

    I have yet to try more. So far I’ve only tried a sample size of Stila’s tinted moisturizer (I haven’t ran out yet) and ELF’s studio tinted moisturizer. I love both! They even out my skin tone pretty well. I have to say I like Stila’s better though. I want to buy the full sized one. I NEED to try Sonia Kashuk’s tinted moisturizer. People say it’s one of the best drugstore-wise.

  • what bronzers would you recommend for contouring? preferably matte ones
    Anonymous

    Too Faced Chocolate Soleil… it’s probably the only matte bronzer that I will ever continue to purchase. Lmao I am too much in love.

    But uh, if you want a cheaper alternative, I recommend Rimmel’s Natural bronzer or NYC’s sunny bronzer only because they’re the most popular… but I still prefer my Too Faced one the most because it’s more gray-toned and perfect for contouring.

  • realized that some lipsticks aren't for certain skin tones and i definitely need help finding the right ones for my skin tone. if i'm about a nc34 nc35 in mac's studio fix powders or their line, which colors do you think suites my skin tone? i like shades of light red and pinks but what about nude or brighter colors etc? I need help!
    Anonymous

    Good thing we have the same undertone! I also have been gravitating more toward lighter shades lately. I’m still in the process of finding more that suit me, but I’ve found several that I love. You just need to make sure you know the difference between warm and cool undertones. For our case, we’re warm. Some suggestions:

    • NYX Round Lipstick - Goddess (pearly nude pink)
    • Lancome Color Design Cream Lipstick - Natural Beauty (warm nude)
    • Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick - Fire & Ice (bright warm red)
    • L’Oreal Infallible Lipstick - Opulent Organza (pearly nude coral)
    • Revlon Super Lustrous Lipstick - Sandalwood Beige (my new fave - darker nude/coral)
    • L’Oreal Project Runway Lipstick (limited edition) - Sultry Raven’s Pout (my new fave also - perfect nude pink)
    • Milani HD Advanced Lip Color - Romantic Rose (light pink)
    • MAC Cremesheen lipstick - Crosswires (bright rosy pink)

    You’re welcome! <3

  • Do you have recommendations for any concealers?
    Anonymous

    Full coverage concealers I recommend: http://beautywithshannon.tumblr.com/post/12661688004/you-have-acne-prone-skin-right-what-would-you

    I also LOOOOVE Sonia Kashuk’s Hidden Agenda palette. I forgot to add that one!!

    Medium (but buildable) coverage concealers I love:

    • Revlon Photo Ready concealer stick
    • Maybelline Instant Age Rewind Eraser for dark circles
    • Maybelline SuperStay cocnealer (SUPER opaque, could be heavy coverage but it’s a liquid so it’s more controllable)
    • Too Faced Absolutely Flawless concealer

    • You have acne prone skin right? What would you recommend as a good concealer with full coverage? My breakouts have cleared but I'm left with tons of acne scarring. Please & thanks this would really help!
      Anonymous

      Anything that comes out of a pot is full coverage. For example, some good ones I recommend are MAC’s studio sculpt concealer and Bobbi Brown’s creamy concealer kit (which I used up to the last scrape, haha I loved it so much).

      But there are a few that come in a squeeze tube that are probably just as good such as Laura Geller’s real deal concealer and Hard Candy’s glamoflauge. SERIOUS coverage!!! A little definitely goes a long way.
