Neutral MomentKaja Neutral Moment Beauty Bento Bouncy Shimmer Eyeshadow TrioKaja Neutral Moment Beauty Bento Bouncy Shimmer Eyeshadow Trio ($21.00 for 0.09 oz.) includes three matte eyeshadows in a more velvety, less powdery formula than the brand has released previously. I was surprised to see that this one and the other one launched with it were both rather light-leaning, as Kaja has been a brand that has released most of their trios without putting in very light matte shades–this is the darker of the two. The quality was so-so; the middle shade was sheerer and more powdery, while the other two shades were better.

It had nearly opaque pigmentation in a single layer, which applied evenly to bare skin and blended out well with minimal fallout. The texture felt velvety and smooth without being too powdery nor too firmly-pressed in the pan. It wore nicely for seven and a half hours before fading a bit. Top Dupes

Quick Shop: SephoraSephora, Sephora (CA)Java JazzJava Jazz is a darker, golden beige with muted, olive undertones and a barely-there golden shimmer through a more matte finish. The texture was very soft, smooth, and finely-milled, but it was somewhat powdery, which led to more medium coverage. I was able to build it up slightly, but it was never fully opaque.

Pink PoetryLisa Eldridge Pink Poetry Enlivening Blush ($34.00 for 0.5 oz.) is a vivid pop of pink-coral with subtle, warm undertones and a semi-matte finish. It yielded semi-sheer to medium, buildable pigmentation depending on how much one applied; the brand recommended to use quite a small amount, which is what I did for swatches and achieved sheer, hard-to-overdo kind of coverage. I was able to build up coverage by going back over and patting on additional product (not much) where I wanted (e.g. apples). The texture was lightly creamy, smooth, and less wet-feeling compared to some other shades; I’ve found the texture to vary noticeably from shade to shade with some being thinner, almost watery in comparison, and others to be denser and more velvety/cream-like. Nevertheless, it applied like the other shades; there were no issues working with it over bare skin or over foundation. It stayed on well for eight hours before fading noticeably on my skin. I’ve had a couple of readers ask if there were any issues squeezing out product from the tubes, and I did not have issues with most of them, but Pink Poetry was challenging to dispense from the beginning (and hasn’t improved).

Formula Overview$34.00/0.5 oz. - $68.00 Per Ounce The formula is supposed to be buildable, though the brand advises to use the "tiniest dot" to start with to get a "translucent 'blushing from within' effect." It can be applied and blended out with fingertips or a foundation brush. The finish is described as "natural, skin-like" that isn't "too dewy or too matte." From the shades I've tested so far, the formula is buildable from semi-sheer to mostly opaque, and it was easy to apply more if necessary. The needle-nose applicator allowed for a lot of control, so one could get closer to the "tiniest" amount as recommended. The texture was lightweight, moderately emollient, and dried down to a natural to soft matte finish; one shade appeared more semi-matte (though not flat/dry) on my skin and the other was more emollient in the tube and as a result, somewhat dewier on my skin. The product applied evenly patted on bare skin or over foundation with a fingertip and blended out with little effort. They had a tendency to sheer out, which was as marketed, so they were more foolproof to work with. It was a more transfer-resistant formula, The blush lasted between eight and nine hours on me before showing signs of fading. Browse all of our Lisa Eldridge Enlivening Blush swatches.

via Temptalia https://ift.tt/3hkpvKe Rouge ElectriqueLaura Mercier Rouge Electrique Rouge Essentiel Silky Crème LipstickLaura Mercier Rouge Electrique Rouge Essentiel Silky Crème Lipstick ($32.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a rich, medium-dark orange with warm, red undertones and a satin finish. It had rich color payoff in a single stroke, which applied evenly and smoothly across my lips without tugging. The texture was velvety-smooth, thin and lightweight but not clingy at all, though there was a smidgen of product that settled into my deeper lip line that was only visible in the close-up photo but not in person. It wore well for five and a half hours and felt lightly hydrating over time. FURTHER READING: Formula Overview for details on general performance and characteristics (like scent). Top Dupes
Formula Overview$32.00/0.12 oz. - $266.67 Per Ounce The formula is supposed to have "high-impact color" with "weightless decadence" that "moisturizes and smooths." The pigmentation was nearly opaque to opaque in a single layer, which applied smoothly and without tugging. The texture was lightly creamy but more velvety overall, so it glided easily over my lips but didn't feel overly slippery. The issue I had was that the formula didn't seem particularly forgiving of natural lip texture or imperfections, so despite exfoliating prior to application, there were areas highlighted that I didn't expect to see since the formula was supposed to be smoothing. It also settled a bit into deeper lip lines, which was more noticeable (in person, not just in the close-up photos) with lighter shades than brighter or deeper tones. They lasted between four and six hours on me and felt lightly hydrating. Browse all of our Laura Mercier Rouge Essentiel Silky Crème Lipstick swatches.

It had nearly opaque color payoff in a single layer, so it had to be used with a lighter hand to achieve the buildable coverage marketed. The texture was silky, finely-milled, and smooth, though somewhat powdery in the pan, so using a lighter hand worked better to ensure it didn’t get too messy in the pan. The bronzer applied evenly to bare skin and blended out without issue, both on bare skin as well as on top of foundation. It lasted well for eight hours before fading noticeably on my skin.

Formula Overview$28.00/0.42 oz. - $66.67 Per Ounce The formula is supposed to have a "soft, smooth" consistency that delivers "buildable" coverage. It has a very smooth, finely-milled feel with light powderiness in the pan, but it wasn't enough to be messy or difficult to pick up evenly. The finish was very matte to the point where it was a little flat against the skin and tended to absorb any luminosity from bare skin or base products. This type of texture has not worked well for me in the past, but I didn't have issues with this one, thankfully! The powder applied evenly to bare skin, blended out well, and didn't emphasize my skin's natural texture.

It had semi-opaque color payoff that applied fairly evenly, but it was more prone to catching on texture and imperfections on my lips (even after exfoliating!). The consistency felt lightweight, thin, and more velvety than traditionally creamy, which helped keep it in place better. The color lasted nicely for four and a half hours and felt lightly moisturizing over time. FURTHER READING: Formula Overview for details on general performance and characteristics (like scent).

Formula Overview$32.00/0.12 oz. - $266.67 Per Ounce The formula is supposed to have "high-impact color" with "weightless decadence" that "moisturizes and smooths." The pigmentation was nearly opaque to opaque in a single layer, which applied smoothly and without tugging. The texture was lightly creamy but more velvety overall, so it glided easily over my lips but didn't feel overly slippery. The issue I had was that the formula didn't seem particularly forgiving of natural lip texture or imperfections, so despite exfoliating prior to application, there were areas highlighted that I didn't expect to see since the formula was supposed to be smoothing. It also settled a bit into deeper lip lines, which was more noticeable (in person, not just in the close-up photos) with lighter shades than brighter or deeper tones. They lasted between four and six hours on me and felt lightly hydrating. Browse all of our Laura Mercier Rouge Essentiel Silky Crème Lipstick swatches.

Quick Shop: SephoraSephora, Nordstrom, Saks, SelfridgesCoral VifLaura Mercier Coral Vif Rouge Essentiel Silky Crème LipstickLaura Mercier Coral Vif Rouge Essentiel Silky Crème Lipstick ($32.00 for 0.12 oz.) is a bright, medium-dark orange with warm, red undertones and a satin sheen. It had rich color coverage in a single layer, which applied fairly evenly and smoothly across my lips with a touch of product that settled into my deeper lip lines. This was only visible in the close-up photo but not in person. The texture was lightweight, smooth, and more velvety, so it had light shine but not the slip, so it didn’t slide around during wear. It wore well for five hours and felt lightly hydrating. FURTHER READING: Formula Overview for details on general performance and characteristics (like scent). Top Dupes
