What are your deal-breakers when it comes to fragrance?

What are your deal-breakers when it comes to fragrance?

I’m not keen on sugary, gourmand scents, and I’m not a fan of sweet, fruity scents generally. I tend to prefer woodier scents, and if I diverge, then things dominated by citrus, lavender, and greenery. I rarely have issues with longevity, so most fragrances last long enough for my needs.

What are your deal-breakers when it comes to concealer?

What are your deal-breakers when it comes to concealer?

I prefer thinner, more buildable concealers or ones that are higher coverage but a little dewy and not too thick, so they dry down but don’t look too flat/matte. Obviously, it has to come in a shade match that works for me, too, but I feel like that goes without saying!
