Hi! Mascara: Ubame mascara by MILK or Caution mascara by Hourglass. I love Hourglass’s Unreal lip gloss as well!

[JessCoffeeLover]

In regards to a lip oil my favourite is from nyx- “this is everything”. It is not sold on sephora but you can probably get it from your local drugstore, it’s around 10$ hope this helps!

My favourite mascaras are both from benefit, Roller Lash and Bad Gal Bang. If you’re looking for length and curl go with Roller Lash, if you’re aiming for volume go with Bad Gal Bang. My personal favourite is Roller Lash!

Hi! Sephora employee here! 

-lip oil: the dior ones are INSANE. super hydrating and come in an array of colors

-lip gloss: the sephora collection ‘glossed’ glosses are like butter on the lips! not sticky and come in many colors too. fenty gloss bomb is my fave too. not sticky and i get a TON of compliments when i wear it

-pastel + bright palette: violet voss would be the best for bright or pastel palettes. fenty  has a pastel palette too! 

-mascara: monsieur big from lancôme is my HOLY GRAIL!! i also love the tom ford badass black. that one gives extra volume 

-bronzer: fenty bronzers all have a warmer tone. they have both cream and powder and honestly lasts you a long time! benefit hoola and nars bronzers are amazing too! 

hope you enjoy them all! if you have anything else let me know!!

Does anyone know a good nude tones pallette with no shimmer or not a lot??

@YasmimG  Have you looked at any Viseart palettes? They have some all-matte palettes you might like: Viseart Eyeshadow Palette 01 Neutral Matte and Viseart Eyeshadow Palette 10 Warm Neutral Mattes . Also, consider Viseart Eyeshadow & Eyebrow Palette : the first column contains 3 wax-based brow shades, but the other 9 shades are matte eyeshadows. 

I wanted to suggest some Natasha Denona palettes but they might have too many shimmers for you: Natasha Denona Biba All Neutral Eyeshadow Palette Full Size Biba Neutral Eyeshadow Palette , Natasha Denona Mini Nude Eyeshadow Palette , and Natasha Denona Camel Eyeshadow Palette Camel . 

Oh, and the only Urban Decay palette I ever truly liked: Urban Decay Naked Petite Heat Naked Petite Heat . This is a great little palette, particularly for neutral looks on tan to deep skin tones. And maybe consider Melt Cosmetics Rust Eyeshadow Palette .

Natasha Denona has a Safari eyeshadow pallet that is all mattes. And Urban Decay’s Naked 2 Basics is also nice.

@YasmimG They aren’t fancy but I always think tarte Tartelette™ Amazonian Clay Matte Eyeshadow Palette and Urban Decay Naked2 Basics Eyeshadow Palette Naked Basics 2 do the job well 

If you’re looking to spend more Viseart has some great matte palettes 

[IselaMcIntosh]

Does anyone have the Anastasia Beverly Hills Liquid Glow Highlighter Perla ? Is it any good? I’ve had my eye on it for a while ever since watching a YouTube video of a girl using it! It looked stunning. 

[Anna1359]

Hi, I bought this last month and it has become my favorite liquid highlighter. I sometimes use it under powder highlighter and the finish is outstanding.

[Applesass]

Does anyone know of a good, cool-toned neutral eyeshadow palette?

Natasha Denona Glam palette

@Applesass Anastasia Beverly Hills Norvina Eyeshadow Palette 

[faeriegirl]

@Applesass  The Natasha Denona Glam Eyeshadow Palette  is a great cool toned palette.

[Applesass]

@faeriegirl @HannRay11 Thank you!!! I appreciate your help!

[HannRay11]

The Natasha denona glam palette is good for cool tones! Or her mini retro one. Fenty’s mix and match in wine is pretty neutral with a slight cool tone. Or the Smokey one is a darker cool one!
