This is fantastic.
This is so good for precision contouring.▶ 4:34–4:42
If you struggle with contour placement or you put it on and you feel like once you blend it out, your face almost looks muddy because either it's not the right tone or you've simply applied too much and had to blend out too much, this is a must-have for a beginner.▶ 4:39–4:48
What I find so special about this particular shade is that sort of highlight, that pearly effect almost has like a lavender cast to it, which I think is so unique and beautiful.▶ 6:35–6:41
This pigmentation was with two dots.▶ 6:52–6:59
If you are someone that loves a pretty, girly, pinky blush, I'm going to insist that you try Princess Avenue.▶ 6:30–6:35

There are just so many things I like about this glossy plumper in addition to the fact that it's shimmery.▶ 8:34–8:41
