My wedding makeup artist used this for my wedding. Love it. Goes on smooth and makes your face look amazing....But occasionally when my skin is extra dry (especially in the winter) you can see my skin flake after an hour of application.

What it is: A creamy, cashmere-like powder that delivers a buffed, polished finish and lasting wear in a convenient compact—available in true-to-skin shades.

Coverage: Medium

Finish: Matte

Formulation: Pressed Powder

Skin Type: Normal, Dry, Combination, and Oily

What Else You Need to Know: This oil-free powder has a soft, creamy texture that feels smooth and comfortable with adjustable, natural-looking coverage. It blends evenly and seamlessly onto skin and conceals imperfections, fine lines, and pores for a finish that stays fresh and keeps skin shine-free. It is also best for normal to oily skin.

I don't need a lipstick on top of this and it doesn't look too dry like other lip liners. In winter, I just tab some lip balm (vaseline) onto this and it wears like a really nice lip gloss.

What it is: A perfectly-textured, wooden lip liner pencil designed to outline, define, and prolong lip color wear.

What Else You Need to Know: This lip liner outlines and enhances the natural shape of lips. Its unique texture is firm enough to draw a precise, thin line, yet soft enough to blend and wear alone for a matte finish. It keeps lip color in place to prevent bleeding, feathering, and collecting in corners of lips throughout the day.

Clinical Results: In a consumer study of 32 participants:
- 96% said it glides smoothly onto lips
- 98% said it feels comfortable to wear
- 85% said it is highly pigmented
