Emily de Molly’s Twenty Questions

Jordana’s Classic Lipliner in Rich Rouge

ColourPop’s BFF Liquid Liner in The Hills

I love this color of liner! I wish that there had been a mascara in this color of green. The Kiss n Teal is green, but it’s brighter. (I also would have loved to have something that’s halfway between this color and evergreen.) This felt tip provides a...

NYX Cosmetics’ Bright Idea Illuminating Stick in Bermuda Bronze

This is not a shade that works well on me. It is barely visible on me if I apply it like I apply my other highlighters. If I apply it more heavily, it looks like a soft contour. It works best for me as a lid highlighter.

Maybelline’s Color Sensational Lipstick in Violet Vixen (830)

Almost - but not quite - a glowy medium violet. I don’t like the way it can bunch up when applied, and I wish that it was easier to apply cleanly with a single stroke. Nevertheless, I was happy to find another truly purple lipstick. Not cabernet, not plum,...

Color Club’s New-tral

Another lighter neutral creme. The formula is fairly good, but a little thicker. The polish has a tendency to hold onto brush strokes, and it takes longer than usual to cure. (Maybe it’s just an older bottle.) The coverage is fairly solid, and I do like the color. But...

Zoya’s Darby

This…is an odd one. The photos of Darby show it as more of a blue, and it can look that way; but it’s definitely greyed. I wish that the effect layer was a little stronger. I may have gotten a not-so-great batch, but I was expecting much more...

Makeup Revolution’s Vintage Lace Blush palette

I am not a huge fan of blush palettes, because so often they’ve got several colors that won’t really look great on me. This palette is small enough that while two of the colors are not great as blushes, the other two work very well for my coloring...

Color Club’s Meet Me In Paradise collection

Saturated and quasi-tropical, this collection seems like a strategic subset of the Poptastic collection. The warm colors are neon or near-neon, the cool colors are more bold than bright. Island Vibes is the deepest shade and the only matte, and it kind of anchors the collection. The formula of Island...

My Pretty Zombie’s Shark Jumper

Looking for a good “blood-orange” eyeshadow? Here it is. Shark Jumper is orangeish, but a very red orange. The color payoff is good, and the shade is very saturated, but it can tend to be thinner towards the edges of an applied area. It blends nicely, and while it can...
