Kevyn Aucoin

I buy whichever is on sale between this tubing mascara and the tubing mascara from Trish McEvoy. Aucoin's tubing mascara is awesome for the first two weeks. After the tube has been used for about two weeks, the formula seems to dry in such a way that application is more tricky and little mascara crumbs will fall on your cheeks. Wait until the crumbs dry and then flick them off with your fingernail. Even though tubing mascaras seem to dry out more quickly than other formulas, they are still worth it to me because they do not give me raccoon eyes.

The entire collection of colors in Creamy Moist Glow from Kevyn Aucion Beauty were some of the best Creme blushers in the biz. Unfortunately, whomever now owns the company has seen fit to change the line and evidently discontinue the Creme blushes. Just in time for this type of formulation to become popular. A real shame. Hope someone can put this company back on track before it’s too late.

It's interesting how polarizing this product is. I actually really enjoy it. When I've worn it in the past, friends have commented on how good my makeup looks (friends that normally don't notice things like that). I have normal to dry skin, roughly NC25/30 and the formula worked really well for me. It has high coverage so I don't put on a lot but it buffs out really nice for me. I find it lasts well and doesn't dry out my skin (although it's in my summer shade so I haven't tried it in the dead of our Canadian winters). It just makes my entire face look perfected. It's awesome. I probably won't repurchase only because I don't need a really full coverage face very often nowadays but I'm glad I purchased it and have it to pull out when needed. I do think it's tricky to pick a good shade though.. they apply lighter than they look in the packaging so if you can, i'd go in. I ended up getting a shade a tad on the dark side for me (over compensated) but I can make it work in the summer.
