Comments that do not adhere to our comment policy may be removed. Discussion and debate are highly encouraged but we expect community members to participate respectfully. Please keep discussion on-topic, and if you have general feedback, a product review request, an off-topic question, or need technical support, please contact us!
Please help us streamline the comments' section and be more efficient: double-check the post above for more basic information like pricing, availability, and so on to make sure your question wasn't answered already. Comments alerting us to typos or small errors in the post are appreciated (!) but will typically be removed after errors are fixed (unless a response is needed).
We appreciate enthusiasm for new releases but ask readers to please hold questions regarding if/when a review will be posted as we can't commit to or guarantee product reviews. We don't want to set expectations and then disappoint readers as even products that are swatched don't always end up being reviewed due to time constraints and changes in priorities! Thank you for understanding!
We try to approve comments within 24 hours (and reply to them within 72 hours) but can sometimes get behind and appreciate your patience! 🙂 If you have general feedback, product review requests, off-topic questions, or need technical support, please contact us directly. Thank you for your patience!
Your skin tone/coloring: light, MAC NC 20
Most budge-proof foundation? L’Oréal Freshwear
Best highlighter for glowing skin? MAC Lightscapade
Best your-lips-but-better lip color. MAC Velvet Teddy or Hug Me
Your skin tone/coloring: Above with freckles, green/gray/blue eyes, warm brown hair.
Most budge-proof foundation? I don’t have one… I prefer light/glowy foundations and that usually means some wear off by the end of the day, but that’s okay with me.
Best highlighter for glowing skin? The one in the ND Mini Blush & Glow duo or Stila Heaven’s Hue Highlighter in Kitten.
Best your-lips-but-better lip color? Revlon Super Lustrous Shine Lipstick in Nude Illuminator.
Your skin tone/coloring: Under my name (blue-green eyes, dark hair)
Most budge-proof foundation? MAC Pro Longwear Waterproof Foundation for sure! It withstands our crazy hot, humid monsoon days and getting caught in an unexpected burst of rain. Lasts very nicely all day long, too.
Best highlighter for glowing skin? For “seen from space” level glow: Ofra highlighters! For something a little less brilliant, ABH, ND, MAC and ColourPop do the trick.
Best your-lips-but-better lip color? PML Omi or MAC Cosmo for lipsticks. Fenty Glow Gloss Bomb for gloss.
Your skin tone/coloring: pale, cool
Most budge-proof foundation? Diorskin Forever (the old one with SPF in it – not sure if it’s d/c’d)
Best highlighter for glowing skin? Dior again – Nude Air Luminizer in 002 or Glowing Gardens Glowing Pink and also the discontinued UD highlighter in Aura. It’s hardly surprising that UD is going into the dumpster when over the last 4 years or so, they have discontinued their very BEST products!
Best your-lips-but-better lip color? MAC Plumful or Craving, UD Manic or (discontinued) Laura Mercier Healthy Lips.
Your skin tone/coloring:. Under my name;; burgundy hair; hazel/green eyes.
Most budge-proof foundation? Lancome Teint Idole 24 H lLong Wear Foundation.
Best highlighter for glowing skin? Black Moon Cosmetics Moonlighters, Ofra Highlighters, Dior Nude Luminizers
Best your-lips-but-better lip color? UD Vice Lipstick in Sheer Rapture. Discontinued, but I bought a few backups.
Your skin tone/colouring: Porcelain, with pink undertones
Most budge-proof foundation? L’Oreal’s True Match foundation or my old favourite (now d/c) Clarin’s Everlasting foundation in linen. Using Nude by Nature’s Airbrush primer helps it all to stay budge proof.
Best highlighter for glowing skin? Nope – I don’t use a highlighter as glowing skin looks like oily skin on me.
Best your-lips-but-better lip color? Probably Maybelline’s Mauve for Me would be the closest to MLBB kind of lipstick.
Most budge-proof foundation? I’m not really a foundation person, but the most budge-proof BB cream I’ve ever tried is the Nature Republic Cell Boosting BB Cream (discontinued)
Best highlighter for glowing skin? Again, also discontinued, but my favorite shade of the Colourpop Super Shock Cheek in “Churro”
Best your-lips-but-better lip color? Hourglass Femme Nude Lip Stylo in “Futurist”
Your skin tone/coloring: Light-medium with warm yellow undertones, dark brown hair and eyes
Most budge-proof foundation? Estee Lauder Double Wear or MAC Prolongwear Waterproof, the formulas are almost identical to me.
Best highlighter for glowing skin? I don’t like glow, I won’t go beyond something subtle like MAC Emphasize.
Best your-lips-but-better lip color? MAC Mehr or Brave, somewhere in between
Your skin tone/coloring: Light, about Mac NW20, neutral, brown hair blue eyes
Most budge-proof foundation? I don’t really play with foundation much, but Boots No 7 Stay Perfect (Calico) is my go to for most purposes
Best highlighter for glowing skin? Mac Extra Dimension – the ones in the 2019 holiday palette
Best your-lips-but-better lip color? Mac Modesty, Mac Mehr, Nars Anna
