Bite Beauty

My Shade: L25 My Other Shade Matches: Too Faced Born This Way (Porcelain), Estee Lauder Doublewear (1N2 Ecru), BareMinerals Complexion Rescue (Vanilla 02) I was so excited to try this foundation as I heard Bite recently reformulated their entire range to be cruelty-free, vegan and clean. (Maybe 'clean' is mumbo-jumbo but it makes me feel better about adding to my extensive makeup collection at least). This foundation claims to be medium coverage with a natural finish and it lives up to the claim. It covers any redness or blemishes, but looks very skin-like and blends seamlessly. It applies easily both with a brush and a sponge. It dries down fairly quickly, but gives you enough time to work it into the skin. It dries to a natural matte finish and doesn't look cakey at all. It also is transfer-proof. If you like the natural look and want flawless skin then I highly recommend to give this foundation a try. Perfect for 'no-makeup' makeup looks.

If you love vegan makeup and was looking for a bold lip color that is both nourishing and long-lasting, then you're going to love these new lip crayons. They all come with an in-built sharpener, so you can keep yours precise at all times. While they are labeled as matte, I would say they still have a bit of sheen to them (think the brand's Amuse Bouche), which you can easily blot with a Kleenex if you want yours to appear more satin-matte. They last a very long time on the lips, do not bleed or feel drying. I think this is a stellar new product from the brand. You can see all of the unedited arm/lip swatches in my separate review here (https://www.nayatilly.com/single-post/2020/03/03/Bite-Beauty-Power-Move-Creamy-Matte-Lip-Crayon-Review). Hope this helps!

I received a sample of this with a Sephora Play box and tossed it aside for several months before trying. It is a retractable crayon that delivers creamy matte color. The color is a dusty mauve but appears as a orangey nude on me. I found it to be a very comfortable non-drying wear that is fairly long lasting, requiring very few touch ups through the day. No migrating, no feathering, no lip liner required. I liked it but will likely not repurchase because there are better priced options that will deliver the same result.
