This gloss has an impressive shade range—28 beautiful hues to choose from. While there is a light, tingling sensation when applied, it wore mostly like a regular lip gloss that added a nice touch of shine and hydration to the lips, but sans any noticeable plumping results. It has a sweet, light peppermint smell and is very comfortable to wear and reapply throughout the day. Think of this as your favorite lip gloss that comes in so many shades to try—the formula is lov
We got several hours of wear out of this concealer before it started to fade, but it’s worth noting that we did see some patchiness under the eyes toward the end of the day. We recommend moisturizing before applying the concealer and setting it with powder for the best chance of longevity. Overall, we loved how it looked on bare skin and over foundation—like the best version of our s
It’s always a great feeling to use a product that instantly imparts benefits; with this particular gloss, those benefits were fuller-looking, smoother lips. It starts to burn within the first minute of wear, and the sensation is on the stronger side, but it’s nothing I couldn’t handle. This is due to the peppermint oil, which increases blood flow to the lips. The gloss's formula is not sticky (unusual for lip plumpers) and looks beautiful on the lips. My lips were about two-thirds more plump than usual, and it didn’t enhance any lip lines whatsoever, which is fantas
L'Oreal is another drugstore favorite with several standout brown lipstick shades, specifically for their classic Colour Riche Original Satin Lipstick. Not only am I obsessed with the luxe gold packaging (at only a $13 price point), but also the warm brown hue of the Brazil Nut shade, which is a go-to for an everyday brown
If you’re after major drama or a curl that lasts, prep with a curler first, or the lift may soften over time. When it’s time to wash up, you’ll need proper makeup remover to take it off, she confirms, and then you’ll be left with a nice, clean sl
Be mindful to only apply this directly to your lips and avoid going outside the lines, as the product will migrate, and other parts of your face will turn red when it does. Whether you pop it on alone or pair it with your go-to lip liner , it will bring on the drama. I ranked this slightly below the Too Faced because it is more expensive, but if you have dry lips, the extra hydrating ingredients are beneficial. It also doesn't contain chili pepper extract if you are sensitive to this ingredi
As you might remember, '90s makeup was all about skinny lines—from pencil-thin brows to inconspicuous lip pencil to slim black eyeliner in the waterline. Conversely, there was also the '90s grunge look, which involved thick black liner all around the eye, as seen on Courtney L
What’s the best way to apply mascara on mature eyes?
Both makeup artists agree: lock your mascara brush into the base of your lash line and roll it up from root to tip. (Don’t stop halfway, warns Scibelli.) "Roll the brush forward, like a hairbrush, to help separate the lashes," explains Bartlett. This will give you the lift and curl we all desire, and if you need a little extra help, try using a lashing curler and a conditioning primer first. To make your eyes appear more youthful, try Bartlett trick: "Apply a little extra on the outer third of the eye to lift and lengthen, creating a slight cat e
Shade Range: The best concealer shade depends on what you’re using it for. Celebrity makeup artist Kelli Anne Sewell recommends using a concealer under your eyes that’s one to two shades lighter than your skin tone and has slightly pink undertones to cancel out dark circles. If you want to cover blemishes, she recommends getting a shade as close to your skin tone as possi
What mistakes should you avoid when applying mascara to aging eyes?
Our makeup artists had the same response to this question: replace your mascara often. Snag a new one every three months, confirms Scibelli. Bacteria can build up on the brush, and you don’t want it to enter the eye area. "Dry, old mascara promotes flaking, irritation, and eyelash breakage," adds Bartl
If lip-plumping benefits plus a long-lasting, colorful gloss is what you’re after, this is the right formula for you. This formula packs a powerful, colorful punch for a bargain. I loved how saturated the color payoff was, and that it can double as a lipstick if you like a glossy finish. Not to mention, there are several gorgeous shades to choose from. The color held up throughout the day, even when eating and drinking, which I found impressive. Just note that there’s a strong burning and tingling sensation upon application that lasts a while. If you can get used to it, though, this gloss is well worth
