Baked BlushVariant: Sparkling Rosé
- “The blush is making me nervous for the highlighter for sure. Look how vastly different the finishes are on there. This one's like very texture enhancing, whereas this one's pretty blurring”7:30–7:34
- Source: Trying my new drugstore makeup purchases - Feb 5, 2026
Variant: SunsetNo clip
- “This one felt more stiff, more dry, so it took more time to blend out and it also like immediately disappeared once it was applied”
- Source: Trying my new drugstore makeup purchases - Feb 5, 2026
Variant: Toasted Sky
- “When you feel it in the little pot, it feels like you're swatching a cream. Like, it does feel a little bit more wet, but once it touches your skin, it does kind of activate and it gets really silky”4:13–4:19
- “The experience of applying it to my cheeks feels exactly like I'm blending out the Fwee ones”4:54–4:58
- “It feels more glowy. It's not as matte and blurring, I would say, in the finish, but the blendout is really nice”
- Source: Trying my new drugstore makeup purchases - Feb 5, 2026
- “In the pan, you can just see it has like a balmy glow and it does feel like a perfect hybrid between a powder and a cream”9:33–9:38
- “It gives a really pretty effect on the cheeks, a soft silicony like blur that I love so much when it comes to blushes, which I'm loving that”9:51–9:58

Variant: Pink Sugar
- “I personally have not had a positive experience with it on my cheeks. I have found that it picks up and kind of rehydrates and moves anything I'm wearing underneath, and it's just far too balmy for my skin type and also my makeup tastes”10:42–10:45
- “On the lips, these are really nice. It has a really bouncy plush texture and a rich amount of pigment, too, that doesn't separate or settle into the fine lines”10:53–11:01

Variant: Ambitious
- “This is such a nice texture. It's so nice and bouncy and creamy. Very easy to blend on your cheeks and on your lips”13:16–13:22

- Source: Soft Matte, Poreless Skin Base | Monochromatic Toasty Browns Look - Mar 6, 2026
Variant: Tequila Sunset
- “This is just very matte. Like it has one of the most blurring qualities ever, but with that being said, it does feel more drying than the Fwee pots”10:07–10:13
- “The beauty of this type of formula is that it's easy to reapply and touch up throughout the day, too. It works on your makeup if it's set or if it's wet”10:20–10:25
- Source: Best and worst of latest makeup launches - Feb 25, 2026
Variant: Clay
- “This is an easy formula to just throw on if you're quick for time or if you're just like not really feeling like doing your makeup for hours on end”3:08–3:12

Baked BronzerVariant: 01
- “I wore it yesterday, and I really enjoyed the color, the finish, everything about it”7:19–7:25
- “It looks very light in the pan, but once it goes onto your skin and sinks into like your foundation and all the previous layers, it darkens a lot”8:14–8:18
- “It's a little bit surprising how pigmented it can actually get”
- Source: Trying my new drugstore makeup purchases - Feb 5, 2026
Variant: Honey Bun
- “Oh, is it magnificent. It's just really nice to build up. It's so soft, and the edges are always perfectly blended out”15:43–15:47
- “I can apply this to unset skin or set skin, and it looks amazing”15:47–15:54
- “It has a really pretty diffusing quality while still leaving you with that gorgeous skin finish. Everything is just completely gorgeous and simple”16:03–16:06
- Source: Best and worst of latest makeup launches - Feb 25, 2026
- “When you feel it in the pan, it has a really hydrated, almost a gel-like consistency”6:42–6:48
- “It has a luminosity to it that makes it easier to blend and build up and it has a really nice, natural, skin-like finish to it”6:58–7:05

- Source: Best and worst of latest makeup launches - Feb 25, 2026
- “I really like this one. It feels very similar to the Rare Beauty one actually, but just in a more neutral tone”8:43–8:50
- “It's a soft builder as well, so you don't go in too much product and you have to sit there and panic blend or restart. It's one you can build up at your own pace, which I love”9:19–9:24

- Source: Trying my new drugstore makeup purchases - Feb 5, 2026
Variant: 8
- “Every time I try to put this on my face it tries to escape from me. It just gathers up, it separates, it looks really thick and it just moves around”0:55–1:02
- “Even if I set it with a ton of powder, it's just beyond hydrating that it just eats up that powder and creates kind of a paste and it just creates extra skin texture that I just don't have naturally”1:04–1:10
- “When I wear this my skin looks worse, unfortunately”1:14–1:20
- Source: Best and worst of latest makeup launches - Feb 25, 2026

- Source: Trying my new drugstore makeup purchases - Feb 5, 2026
Variant: Light Medium Cool 3
- “I think this is a really nice one if you have a drier skin type. It's really nice and hydrating. It has a softening effect and it sinks right into your skin effortlessly”6:08–6:13
- “Because of my oilier skin type, I just can't get along with this one. Even if I really set it with a good powder, 20 minutes will go by and I look like a [__] again”6:24–6:29
- Source: Best and worst of latest makeup launches - Feb 25, 2026
Variant: 6.5
- “Armani recently reformulated their cult classic luminous silk foundation and made a foundation that worked for so many different skin types and reformulated it to something that only works for drier or dehydrated skin types”4:12–4:18
- “I don't get any luminous silk vibes at all from this skin finish”4:34–4:39

Variant: L2 Mont Blanc & L4.5 Vienna (mixed)
- “I've been testing this foundation out. I received them a little bit early before they officially launched and I really like it”0:30–0:37
- “What feels so refreshing about it is that it is a soft matte foundation”0:37–0:43
- “It does have a higher amount of coverage. It's a good medium to full, but it's been wearing really well on my oilier skin type”0:41–0:48
- Source: Soft Matte, Poreless Skin Base | Monochromatic Toasty Browns Look - Mar 6, 2026
- “This one's just dry and it looks very flaky. It also has very chunky glitter and that glitter just exaggerates the dry and patchy look so hard, so big no”4:00–4:07
- Source: Best and worst of latest makeup launches - Feb 25, 2026
- “These are a soft, blurred matte lip, not a flat or heavy matte, so they give that irresistible diffused lived-in look that I personally love for everyday wear”4:47–4:52
- “They feel very comfortable on the lips, almost weightless, and they don't dry out my lips, which I love”4:57–5:01
- “Because I have these lip lines, sometimes classic mattes tend to really emphasize them. So, these types of formulas are awesome because they diffuse them and blur them out”

Variant: Sugar Serve
- “It's shimmery”
- “It's actually not bad for like a powder that has a bit of a glow to it”6:12–6:19

Variant: Cherry Blossom & Pound Cake
- “This is my new favorite powder. I haven't touched or looked at any of my powders ever since trying this”16:35–16:42
- “It is the most blurring and setting powder I've ever tried. It works so well for my skin type”16:42–16:50
- “It blurs further than the loose setting powder. It's easier to use and to transport since it's such a skinny little compact, but it is amazing at blurring out my skin”16:48–16:55
