Gold Highlighters

Mostly love from me, though when they get too true yellow, they definitely work best on me when paired with particular colors of blush rather than alone. Some of the lighter golds and peachier golds I can wear alone without blush at all, which makes them more versatile for me. I do wish that brands would diverge a lil’ from their standard golds, since I think we could see some more contrasting shimmer/sheen.

What brands are most reliable for skincare?

I feel like I can buy pretty blindly from Kiehl’s, Origins, Clinique, CeraVe, First Aid Beauty, and Dermalogica and feel like I’m not going to get a subpar product.

What brands are most reliable for cheek colors?

A lot of my favorite cheek products come from Natasha Denona, MAC, and Fenty these days. I also think Chanel remains reliable for blushes, bronzers, and highlighters with very few misses over a very long period of reviews.

What brands are most reliable for eyeshadows?

Sydney Grace and Pat McGrath were the two that immediately came to mind! I wanted to say Viseart, but there are enough more middling shades (workable, more buildable mattes) relative to marketing that I don’t know if I’d really say “most” reliable. The same is true with Natasha Denona–a...

What brands are most reliable for complexion products?

I’ve had good experiences (maybe not to holy grail status but solid options) with most of the foundations/concealers from Guerlain, Giorgio Armani, Lancome, NARS, and Tarte.

What brands are most reliable for lipstick?

Lipstick is the one category that I feel can be done well by a lot of brands at all different price points, but I know that I can count on Giorgio Armani, Guerlain, Pat McGrath, Urban Decay, and Bite Beauty!
