Sometimes they are hard to see, except in person, but they can have a really lovely effect by imparting a more natural finish to the skin that setting powder can often mattify.

I love them, but they’re super easy to make yourself, so it feels like a real indulgence spending $10+ on one. Â They always sell them in jars that are really quite large and take forever to finish! But I love the effect they have on my lips. Â

I think that they rarely suit a wide variety of skin tones, so I wish when brands did one, they’d consider at least releasing two, if not three, varieties. Â Whether they split it up by skin tone (light, medium, dark) or by undertone (cool and warm), it would go a long way. Most blush palettes feel like a variety of pinks and corals that run warmer.

On my black lashes, it doesn’t usually look brown, just murky black. I like the concept, though, and I think it should work better for those with naturally lighter-colored lashes.

I think gold can be really brightening, both on the innter tear duct as well as on the center of the lid, flanked by darker shades. I wish there were more pewter-y/antique golds that were permanent available, as the typical yellow gold doesn’t always work for everyone.

Red lipstick is totally classic to me, and I think that you can feel really powerful when you wear the right red. I’d love to see more red lipsticks on the market with a greater variety in finishes.

I used to be ALL over black eyeliner but find I actually prefer colored eyeliner these days! I like how dramatic black eyeliner can make a look.

I love when they give you a really glowing, luminous sheen–where the shimmer is so fine that it doesn’t read as shimmery, just glow! I’m not so keen when they emphasize pores!

I’d love to see more innovation over the holidays! I feel like there are quite a few brands that release the same type of things each season.

There’s little not to like about a good lip balm that keeps your lips soft, smooth, and hydrated! I wish more lip balms, generally, contained SPF (but didn’t have any taste!).
