-light with yellow undertones
-Peter Thomas Roth Irish Mud Moor Mask (omg life)
-Fenty Gloss Bomb. not cause it’s expensive but it FEELS indulgent
-Hourglass Illume Sheer Trio, expensive but worth it!
That Illume Trio has kept me going for AGES! So underrated, I love that more and more people are buying it as I was worried I’d want to repurchase and it would be gone. Now not as worried about that due to the increase in demand for it.
Your skin tone/coloring: Fair with neutral undertones and freckles, medium warm brown hair, green/gray/blue eyes.
Most indulgent skincare product you use? Right now it’s a Caudalie eye cream that I got as apart of a sample set, but mostly, I use a lot of products from The Ordinary.
Most indulgent lip product you use? The Laneige Sleeping Lip Mask and any of my Bite Beauty lipsticks.
Most indulgent cheek product you use? Honestly, i’ve been using my lipsticks as blush lately because I just don’t like the look of powders on my face at the moment and I’ve been sticking to cream blushes too. I’ve been using the Stila Heavens Hue Highlighter in Kitten a lot too!
Your skin tone/coloring: light medium with neutral undertones
Most indulgent skincare product you use? I used to use La Prairie but stopped due to the cost ? now my most indulgent product is estee lauder advanced night repair which I love !!
Most indulgent lip product you use? Hm.. probably estee lauder lipsticks although they are not my favourite
Most indulgent cheek product you use? Chanel Malice blush !
I’d love to know the color you used in the La Prairie? It is the most difficult foundation for me to match. I am light medium with neutral to slightly warm undertones. Does it oxidize very much? Thanks in advance!
I was actually referring to the anti ageing day cream with spf 30. I once used the anti ageing foundation but don’t remember the shade ?
Skintone: Medium Warm: Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk 6.5, MAC NC37
Most indulgent skincare product: My recently acquired Kate Somerville Deep Tissue Repair. In truth, the most indulgent skin care are the combinations of products I use, such as combining Drunk Elephant’s C-firma, B-Hydra and marula oil in the morning, and and layering Retin A, azelaic acid, Paula’s Choice Peptide Booster, any hydrating moisturizer, and Herbivore’s Phoenix Oil at night.
Most indulgent lip products: My Guerlain Rouge Gs and Dior Addict Lacquer Sticks. I have lip products more expensive than the Dior Lacquer Sticks but nothing in my collection FEELS more indulgent.
Cheeks: Maybe not the most expensive product I own, but Dior’s Backstage Cheek and highlighting Palette makes every day feel indulgent to me. The formula is so different from anything I’ve tried before: instead of a stripe of highlighter I get a spray of crystals, as if someone broke stars into a fine powder and sprinkled them on my onto my cheeks and brow bone. Yep, I definitely have a crush on this formula, lol.
I love this question!
Your skin tone/coloring: Ligh/medium warm – NC30
Most indulgent skincare product you use? My Sunday RileyGood Genes, DE C-Firma Day Serum, and my Lotion P50.
Most indulgent lip product you use? Probably my Pat McGrath lippies. Lucky for me they were gifted.
Most indulgent cheek product you use? I’m in love with all things Hourglass, so I’d say my blush and ambient lighting powder.
I am light skinned with a slight yellow undertone. So I prefer Japanese and Korean brand foundations.
My most indulgent skincare is Sulwhasoo First Care Activating Serum! Everything else I use is under $20 but Sulwhasoon is absolutely worth it. Clearest and softest skin I’ve ever had.
Most indulgent lip care is the Laneige Lip Mask. Ever since I started using it I haven’t had splits in the corner of my mouth. I usually get ones so bad they bleed at least twice a month and it’s even worse in winter. A lifesaver!
I use cheek products from the drugstore but I have been eyeing blushes from Shu Uemura. One of them has this gorgeous purple undertone making it an incredibly unique color.
Your skin tone/coloring: MAC NC 23 ish
Most indulgent skincare product you use? Bioligique Recherche P50 – It certainly doesn’t smell indulgent and it’s “just a toner” but magic happens after continued use.
Most indulgent lip product you use? Tom Ford lipsticks
Most indulgent cheek product you use? Tom Ford bronzers, blush, highlighters
Your skin tone/coloring: fairest neutral
Most indulgent skincare product you use? Estee Lauder advanced night repair serum – I love that stuff. I’m almost done my first bottle and will be repurchasing once I finish it.
Most indulgent lip product you use? I own the Guerlain Rouge G lipstick, but honestly, I rarely wear it. Tbh it was probably a waste of money on my end. It’s nice enough, but definitely not worth the over $60 it cost me. In terms of indulgent formula, I love the Bite Agave lip mask.
Most indulgent cheek product you use? Can’t say I have something super indulgent for cheeks (thinking Chanel or something else luxury), I tend to stick to my tarte blushes for my main cheek product. However, I do have the Charlotte Tilbury instant look in a palette in seductive beauty and I loooove the highlighter in that palette. All the other products are just “meh” for me, but that one is a standout. I wish it was available in a single!
Your skin tone/coloring: Light neutral skin, green eyes, salt & pepper hair
Most indulgent skincare product you use? I recently finished a five-day sample tube of Guerlain Orchidee Imperiale The Cream. Very indulgent, but not worth buying at $455 per jar! On a regular basis, the most indulgent skincare products I use are Estée Lauder’s Daycare moisturizer, Kiehl’s Avocado Eye Cream, and Kiehl’s Creme de Corps Lotion. One of these days I’d like to get Guerlain’s Abeille Royale Youth Watery Oil. I tried a sample of it and it was amazing. It’s expensive, but a tiny drop went a very long way, so I might consider getting it someday.
Most indulgent lip product you use? I have so many to choose from, but I’ll go with Dior Addict Lip Glow in Berry and Guerlain Rouge G in #21.
Most indulgent cheek products you use? Dior Nude Luminizer in Pink Glow and Chanel Joues Contraste Blush in Pink Explosion
Your skin tone/coloring: Light/Medium with warm yellow undertones (usually MAC NC20-25, but after doing the complimentary Studio Fix match in store, it seems I might be NC16… or that foundation oxidizes incredibly dark).
Most indulgent skincare product you use? Kiehl’s Dermatologist Solutions Epidermal Re-texturizing Micro-dermabrasion (aka $41 for a scrub); it’s not the most expensive skincare product I own or the most luxurious, but I still can’t get over the fact that I only like a $41 scrub 😆 But I indulged myself during the Sephora Appreciation event
Most indulgent lip product you use? The Clinique Pep-Start lip balm… the other products I own are only MAC lipsticks, nothing indulgent here
Most indulgent cheek product you use? I have only MAC blushes and sculpting powders… can’t say those are indulgent
Indulgent skincare: I got a set of mini skincare from Guerlain’s Orchidee Imperiale line as a reward with points from Sephora. I would never buy the full size ($250+!)…
Indulgent lip product: Guerlain Rouge G lipsticks
Indulgent cheek product: I don’t remember how much the Estee Lauder x Victoria Beckham highlighter cost, but that may be the most expensive I own. Oh, there’s also the Lancome rose highlighter.
The EL X VB highlighter is totally the priciest item in my stash as well! So pretty though!
Gotta love that Modern Mercury ELxVB highlighter!
I also bit the bullet and bought the Modern Mercury highlighter!! It is amazing!
lt>med, cool side. Currently zero indulgent skincare. Decades of using indulgent did nothing but cause acne for my oily dehydrated face. Mostly Cosrx, with a smattering of Paula and the ordinary. To me, rich and indulgent overlap, and rich products break me out, in the medium run. I use/layer a lot of water based products. Lip= Pat. I have to thumbs own bite agave mask. It barely comes out of the tube on the hottest days. Much prefer Laneige lip sleeping. Cheek: have never gone UHE, but have lots of older Chanel and Shu, as well as enough Nars to blush up my whole town. My HLs tend to be DS to ‘midend,’ though do love ABH Aurora. I think I indulge in excess, rather than cost, lol. Nothing succeeds like excess!
Your skin tone/coloring: olive, fair to light medium, depending on the season
Most indulgent skincare product you use? Filorga NCTF Reverse Serum and Crème and Filorga Skin Absolue Day cream
Most indulgent lip product you use? Rouge G lipsticks. I only have 3, but I love them.
Most indulgent cheek product you use? Chanel Coup du Minuit highlighter. Something about the dusky colour of this one. And the lovely scent.
Skin tone: light-medium warm yellow undertone
Most Indulgent Skincare: Tatcha Rice Polish
Most Indulgent Lip: just got the Pat McGrath MatteTrance Lipstick ‘Vendetta’
Most Indulgent Cheek Product: Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder ‘Luminous Light’
Skintone is fair-light
Most indulgent skincare is Sisley confort extreme creme
Most indulgent lip is probably Tom Ford
Most indulgent cheek-I mostly use BB pale pink pot rouge although it doesn’t stop me from buying others!
Your skin tone/coloring: Light medium, yellow undertones. Dark brown hair & eyes.
Most indulgent skincare product you use? Korres Black Pine active oil and night cream. I love the texture and scent of them and they work great on my skin. Overall most $$$ I have is Verso turmeric booster, which is also nice but not worth the price tag.
Most indulgent lip product you use? Bite Agave lip mask and Guerlain Super Lips balm (which is just super expensive and not that great, TBH)
Most indulgent cheek product you use? Guerlain Blush G Serie Noire from years ago. I bought it especially to wear on my wedding day and it’s held a special place in my heart ever since.
Aww that’s so sweet! I have a bright red Chanel lipstick that I bought for my wedding day 38 years ago and it’s still ok believe it or not!
Your skin tone/coloring: Very fair with neutral undertones; magenta/red hair; hazel/green eyes.
Most indulgent skincare product you use? Eslor Firming Collagen Day Cream. It’s expensive, but the jar lasts me a very long time, and it really does firm.
Most indulgent lip product you use? I suppose the mini Tom Ford Lips & Boys in Stavros (although I was lucky and hubby got it as a stocking stuffer for me that year). Otherwise, Bite Beauty Lipsticks. I don’t buy luxury lipsticks, but Bite’s sure feel luxurious. They’re definitely on the high end of what I personally pay for lipsticks.
Most indulgent cheek product you use? Laura Geller Diamond Dust Baked Gelato Swirl Illuminator. It’s not terribly expensive, but it’s more than I typically spend on a single HL. It’s so beautiful, too. I always feel a little special when I wear it.
Your skin tone/coloring: fair/light neutral
Most indulgent skincare product you use? Any of my Drunk Elephant products (I really like C-Firma and Protini)
Most indulgent lip product you use? I have a weakness for NARS Audacious lipsticks – my favorite shade is Anita
Most indulgent cheek product you use? Becca highlighters
Your skin tone/coloring: NC15 w/some redness
Most indulgent skincare product you use? I bought the Tatcha Indigo moisturizer during the Sephora sale for use during this winter. That’s definitely the most indulgent skincare item I’ve ever bought. But I tried a deluxe sample last year and it was amazing on my dry, very sensitive skin so I cracked and got it.
Most indulgent lip product you use? Bite Beauty Lip Mask, which is indulgent, but works really well. There are definitely some lip products that are so ridiculously overpriced I roll my eyes at them.
Most indulgent cheek product you use? I got the Esteé Lauder X Victoria beckham Modern Mercury highlighter when it came out the 2nd time and that’s definitely the most expensive and very fancy makeup product I’ve ever bought
Skin tone- light medium yellow undertones
Indulgent Skincare? All things Drunk Elephant and most recently Biologique Recherche P50 1970 (large bottle AND the medium bottle!)
Lip product- Dior Lacquer Sticks
Cheek product- besides my ridiculously expensive brushes? Hourglass Holiday Palettes, Dior Nude Air Luminizer
Not part of the question, but….
Indulgent Eye product?? Viseart Grande Pro! Insane.
Skintone / coloring : light, MAC NC 15 – 20
Luxury skincare : my skincare routine is quite basic so the only “indulgent” item I use is my Cera Ve fash wash lol
Most indulgent lip product: Burberry Kisses Lipstick in Devon Sunset
Indulgent cheek product: Tom Ford Wicked Blush and Chanel Bronzer Soleil Tan (as an indulgent face/cheek product) ?
I guess for highlighter, my most indulgent is my Becca Highlighters. Aside from a few from MAC and few others, they’re the only highlighters I really use
Your skin tone/coloring: Medium w/ olive undertones, MAC NC37, Lancome Teint Idole 24H Foundation N360, deep brunette, blue-green eyes w/ gold flecks.
Most indulgent skincare product you use? Probably Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide cream or Glamglow masks.
Most indulgent lip product you use? Price wise, my 2 Tom Ford lipsticks. But for indulgent *feeling*, I’m going with my Pat McGrath lipsticks and my Fenty Universal Gloss Bomb!
Most indulgent cheek product you use? Hmm, not sure about this category. I would say that every time I wear MAC Oh My, Passion or Sweet Visions, I get loads of compliments, so perhaps those? And, whenever I apply either ABH Amrezy or Ofra Glazed Donut, I *feel* like a million bucks!
Your skin tone/coloring: Fair-light, cool to neutral.
Most indulgent skincare product you use? Currently used: Deciem – Niod Copper Amino Isolate Serum 2:1, DE C-Tango Multivitamin Eye Cream, Farmacy Honeymoon Glow AHA Resurfacing Night Serum with Echinacea GreenEnvy.
Most indulgent lip product you use? Guerlain Kiss Kiss Matte Lipstick in M307 Crazy Nude (gorgeous muted pink), Guerlain Rouge G no. 62, Dior Addict Lip Tattoo (351 – Natural Nude, 761– Natural Cherry, 551– Watermelon), Chanel Lip Gloss in Opulence.
Most indulgent cheek product you use? EL x VB Modern Mercury Highlighter and Bronzer in Saffron Sun, Chanel Blush Tweet in Cherry Blossom, Chanel Premières Fleurs Harmony of Powders Blush.
Your skin tone/coloring: Light/Medium Neutral to warm undertone
Most indulgent skincare product you use? La Mer, Eminence and Mahalo- Could not just pick one!
Most indulgent lip product you use? I have many lip products, but I love PMG matte lipsticks and glosses, also Charlotte Tilbury
Most indulgent cheek product you use? Chanel and Charlotte Tilbury
Your skin tone/colouring: Porcelain with pink undertones
Most indulgent skincare product you use? I don’t use a lot of ‘indulgent’ skincare products because in the past I have found that they really haven’t worked that well. Dr. Lewinn’s resorative day cream and night serum is pretty good, but pricey.
Most indulgent lip product you use? Again, I generally don’t own expensive lipsticks either because I did buy an expensive Estee Lauder lipstick and it really didn’t last long on my lips.
Probably the most expensive one I own now is MAC Fresh Moroccan – which retails for $36 here.
Most indulgent cheek product you use? Clarins Prodige blush in sweet peach.
– Your skin tone/coloring: fair warm ~NC10; blue eyes; light brown hair with copper highlights
– Most indulgent skincare product you use? SK II cellumination mask in lotion
– Most indulgent lip product you use? Chanel lipstick (specifically Coco Rouge Shine in Desinvolte)
– Most indulgent cheek product you use? NARS blush in Taos
Your skin tone/coloring: light skin with neutral undertone
Most indulgent skincare product you use? Tatcha The Water Cream. It’s the best moisturizer I’ve used and I hate that it’s so expensive 🙁 I alternate between this and other moisturizers and usually wait until there’s a sale to buy it.
Most indulgent lip product you use? Tom Ford Marisa lipstick. It’s tiny for the price, but I love the color so much.
Most indulgent cheek product you use? I have multiple 🙂
-Marc Jacobs Tantastic bronzer: it has the perfect neutral undertone.
-Any Hourglass blushes, right now my favorite is Incandescent Electra: the marbling is beautiful, and I love the sheen it gives, and it’s so easy to blend out.
-Highlighter: Natasha Denona Super Glow in 01 Fair: a blinding but not glittery highlighter that works with every eye look.
Your skin tone/coloring: fair/pink undertone, dark brown hair w/highlights, brown eyes
Most indulgent skincare product you use? the Amorepacific line, this is why Sephora gives out samples, they make you fall in love with the expensive products that you can’t live without
Most indulgent lip product you use? PMG lippies I’ve also purchased a Louboutin lipstick that I love wearing
Most indulgent cheek product you use? Natasha Denona Darya Blush Palette
Medium Warm with yellow undertones.
All of it! I use Elemis cleanser, day and night cream. I’d even say the Murad and Liz Earle toners that I use are indulgent.
Lip product: Estée Lauder lipgloss that I bought as a treat at the airport.
Cheeks: again all indulgent really. Using NARS Orgasm at the moment.
Your skin tone/coloring: NC15/20 fair neutral
Most indulgent skincare product you use? Oof. This has got to be my Sulwhasoo arsenal. I layer products on and have fixed my moisture barrier and have repaired my skin. Particularly the First Care Activating Serum, Essential Balancing Water, Ginseng Water, Ginseng Emulsion, Ginseng Eye Cream (this is a miracle product) and the Overnight Vitalizing Mask.
Most indulgent lip product you use? I love my Charlotte Tilbury lipsticks and used to love the NARS Audacious lipsticks before they began testing on animals.
Most indulgent cheek product you use? Maybe my Charlotte Tilbury Chic to Cheek blushes? Or the Marc Jacobs Air Blushes?
Skin coloring: fair and cool with freckles.
Indulgent skincare: Nature Republic 92% Aloe. It’s cheap and lasts a long time but being able to pack it onto my face, lay back, take some time for me and just relax is the essence of indulgence to me.
If I want to splurge and buy basically the same result but with a heftier pricetag and different scent, the Honey and Almond Milk moisturizer from the Body Shop is divine.
Indulgent lip product: Aritaum Ginger Sugar overnight mask. A dupe for Laneige and like a third of the price, it’s luscious and rich.
Indulgent cheek product: Melano CC to correct my redness.
Your skin tone/coloring: NC15/ NARS Gobi
Most indulgent skincare product you use? SKII Facial Treatment Essence
Most indulgent lip product you use? Hourglass No. 28 Lip Treatment Oil in Icon
Most indulgent cheek product you use? Kjaer Weis Cream Blush in Embrace
