NARS

It's pretty rare for me to come across a concealer that agrees with me and gives good coverage too. Like Mac it's fairly easy for me to find a good match for my skin tone and helps to cover under eye area without any creasing. I have this on stand by during colder weather as it's quite hydrating, but during warmer months stick to my trusty Mac Studio Finish Concealer which works out well seeing as that one contains the SPF whilst the Nars one doesn't. I don't use daily, only use from time to time as it's a silicone-heavy formula which would break me out if I used every day, unfortunately.

NARS orgasm lipstick is a very pretty rose/gold sheer shimmer wash of color for your lips. a beautiful summer color for us brown-skinned beauties! i use a brown lipliner. only 'con' to this is that the color doesn't apply as evenly as i would like and am used to, so they need to improve the formula in that regard. it sort of reminds me of the lipglass 'pinkarat' from MAC.
overall, a pretty color that looks great on brown (and deeper) complexions.

I have NC20-25 combination skin and though at almost $50 this is pricey Im very pleased with this foundation. Light 3 Gobi is the most perfect shade match Ive found yet and this foundation in very pigmented Id compare it to the Juice Beauty foundation in that sense also has a very nice matte soft focus finish (no lumination I can see but im not complaining) and while im usually pretty oil after a few hours I had this on the other day for about nine hours and was still holding up well and looked great.
Only downsides to this was that I do have to use a hydrating primer with this or itll cling to dryness around my jawline and under my nose also application takes some patience as this is stubborn to blend out with my sponge definitely not for days im short on time to do my makeup but still worth it will repurchase

I'd initially gone to Sephora to try out the much talked-about Orgasm blush. But I quickly realized that it wasn't the best shade for my skintone and I wasn't crazy about the added shimmer.  Instead, the sales clerk had me try on Torrid and it was love at first sight (well, lust since this is Nars we're talking about! ;)) The peachy pink is perfectly suited to my tawny complexion  and gives me a fresh look when applied on the apples of my cheeks. Plus it's totally buildable so I can use it to emphasize my cheekbones (or in my case, my non-cheekbones) for an evening look. When worn that way, its staying power is improved as well although even when dusted lightly for daytime, i can still see it a bit by the end of my work day. While it's a crazy expensive product, this will also last me years and years and I'm also a lover of high-end cosmetics so I'm not too upset about that! 

After looking for years for the perfect Tinted Moisturiser.........its over!
I am in love!
It is a none oily tinted cream therefore it is very creamy.
It s easy to apply.
Give me a none make up look
