(minus foundation & concealer, all products used are from Studio Cosmetics)
Inline/Outline Pencil--I love this! It's a nude pencil that is perfect for cleaning up or outlining lips, especially for red lips. It can be used as a sort of lip primer (they make an actual lip primer) or base for lipstick. It can be used to line the waterline to make you look more awake, similar to a white pencil, but not as austere. The pencil can also be used as a highlighter, like right around the lips or underneath the brows. My only complaint is that mine didn't come with a cap--online the picture indicates a cap, so I think it was just mine.
Color Studies 3:1 Harmonic Eyeshadow Trio in Study in Taupe--LOVE this trio! I think it was my favorite of all of the products sent. The colors are easy to blend and are complimentary to any eye color.
Impactful Mascara--I admit, I'm a bit of a mascara snob, so I wasn't expecting to like this mascara. I'm glad to report I was wrong! It's an easily buildable mascara with length and volume. This was my second-favorite product.
Complete Color Lipstick in Candlelight--Again, this was another delightful surprise. When I first saw the color, I thought it was a little dark for my taste, but since it's winter, I knew the color would be fitting. It looked great on my lips! It's kind of like a my-lips-but-better color. There are dozens of shades, and these lipsticks have vitamin B with additional moisturizers.
Prime Objective Face Primer--This is a silicone-based primer that helps to diminish imperfections in the skin, leaving a smooth surface. These types of primers tend to break me out when used often, so I love to use them on those days when I need extra, long-lasting coverage.
Overall, I was pleased with the products, and they have lasted me through hours of wear! I can easily get a wearable look for everyday, or increase the intensity for night. Check them out!
thanks, Studio Gear!
