Lady Burd’s Treasure Island

Maybelline’s Color Sensational lipstick in Blushing Bud (705)

Tarte’s Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush in Entertain

The color is attractive, but this is so very sheer…! I barely see anything. I can't imagine this shade working well on medium or deeper skintones because it would be invisible. It's almost invisible in my swatch, and I tend to swatch my blushes more heavily to better demonstrate the...

Milani Cosmetics’ Color Statement lipstick in Matte Darling
