"I'm very oily, let me dowse myself in highlighter." Of course the highlighter looked great at the end of the day girl, you have an oily skin type! I don't get why everyone does that. Highlighter makes you look shinier, so if you're already shiny, go easy sis.

I went on this brand's website and saw some informations worth mentionning : the product are cruelty-free, vegan-friendly, without frangrance and paraben. Plus, it seems like an Indie brand, so it comes along the way that their products are a bit more expensive. I really believe that before judging the price, we need to see the net weight and compare it to other brand' similare products

[@m.adrienne8354]

You don't even need to buy this... Just get a cheap pack of stacking containers (I found some that were supposed to be used for sewing stuff), and just mix and match the products you actually use, from your own make-up bag, and put them into those containers! I did this once - played with some moisturizers in one container, some melted lipsticks mixed with coconut oil to use as blush in another container and, finally, some foundation in the last container, and voila, I have my own travel friendly batch. My point of all this was to still use the stuff I own and actually need, without having to spend too much money on the whole project. I get why some people think the product from the video is still too expensive, especially when you don't have a stable, sufficient income(just an example). Hope my tip helps

[@lunakelly2113]

I wish I could find that kind of container so I can put my own makeup in them. I don't want to try out new makeup when I finally found the brands and shades that work for me.

[@gen2465]

Try searching attachable bead containers. You could get some from the dollar store ( my dollar store has them)or try the container store. You could also get separate containers by getting travel size containers. Hope that helped! *(^o^)* ᕕ( ՞ ᗜ ՞ )ᕗ

[@kpstl26]

Uhhh no. That makes absolutely no sense. You don't do your makeup in the morning and then touch it up later with completely different products in completely different colors. It's literally just regular makeup in more convenient to carry packaging. The packaging just makes it easier to do touch ups or do your makeup on the go without having to carry a whole makeup bag.

They make powder blush now. And the concealer is really meant to be used as a less is more and not necessarily so thick under the eyes. I’m almost 50 with very dry wrinkly under eyes and it doesn’t settle if I use it as a true corrector/concealer and don’t place it everywhere

Ooohh hunny please blend that under eye concealer!!!!! Saw it a mile away.

[@hananasrat5855]

Even though I am not an expert, I have so many constructive critics/recommandations about the application: 1- put less concelear since it seems pretty covering and thick, 2- press the powder, under the eyes, with a sponge so it give the maximum of products, 3- choose a blusher with less sheen, so it does not look like sweat at the end of the day.

[@kimfoster6755]

I love your oily glow! I use oil foundation because I want that beautiful glow you have. My nasty dry skin, looks so gross as soon as I put any powder on my face.

“If I’m ugly by 4pm, I’m ugly.” 😂 I touch up my lips sometimes if I’m wearing a certain gloss that doesn’t last long, but honestly I don’t touch up either. I use a setting spray in the mornings and that really helps.

[@oliviafotre3224]

The concealer would probably be good if you have a blemish

[@knmplans]

People complaining about the price either don't shop at Sephora, or don't know what they actually pay per gram for their cosmetics. Obviously it varies by brand but I literally just checked and saw that the per gram price in the Subtl concealer is basically the same as Nars. Couple that with the fact most people don't pay attention to what they spend on makeup cause it's a blush here, an eyeshadow there... and it's serious sticker shock when you're buying a full face worth at once. All I know is, I do travel a LOT. I am very minimal with my makeup when I go away and will happily use my single Hourglass holiday palette the entire time, for my entire face. I haven't tried this brand yet, but I'm for sure going to give them a shot in the future.

[@gisselleflores5244]

This isn’t acne-girl friendly :(

[@Rose-jz6sx]

It's a bit expensive if you're usually into drugstore makeup, but I can definitely see this being worth it for someone who just wants a subtle everyday makeup look. I think the products seem good quality and very wearable. Although obviously the shade range leaves a lot to be desired. But there's so many way more expensive brands doing the same subtle look makeup I really don't think this is too pricey for what it is.

[@dyldebeke]

I think that she meant the product was creasing When you apply a liquid or cream concealer and don’t set it the concealer will build up in the creases Or when the concealer or powder aren’t that good or don’t combine well

Try using a little less of the concealer as a little goes a long way. I am 52 and obviously have some fine lines under the eyes area. I try a very small mixture of the concealer with my under-eye cream (mix it up in the palm of my hand) and pat it on. Then I set it with the powder once the concealer/under-eye cream dries down. I get a much better result this way. I hope this helps! :)
