Tan Makeup
“LOVE this powder! If you are medium/Tan , this shade is gonna perfect. It has a nice yellow tint, doesn’t leave a white cast , and sets my makeup smoothly”
Tan Lotions
“I haven’t found the packaging to be annoying at all, it is super cute. The lotion goes on easily and it is thin enough to spread evenly without feeling like I am rubbing the top layer of skin off my face”
Tan Towelettes
“I love the size of each towelette. These would be amazing for traveling”
Tan Skin Makeup
“So much so, I've resigned to shipping in my bronzers from Korea, because they tend to actually be neutral and cater to lighter skin with green undertones! (3CE and Jung Saem Mool are two of my fave's) I can finally save on shipping costs, because this CT large beauty is made for green undertone light skin”
Tan Sunscreen
“Also, once rubbed into the skin it didn’t leave a white cast like other sunscreens do. I really liked the soft, natural glowy look it gave me, and it worked really well under makeup, which I can’t say for a lot of other sunscreens”
Chai Foundation
“My perfect shade was actually 380 (for reference I am MAC NC45, Lancome liquid foundation 460, bareminerals chai 26). The formula is awesome and provided great buildable coverage”
Tan Eyeshadow
“i bought shroom to use as an inner corner and brow bone highlight however i don’t find it highlighting or light enough for these purposes. i’m porcelain with cool undertones and it just doesn’t pack enough of an impact for me. my "pearl" highlighter (a soft white shade) is best for this. ”shroom” is a bit too beige. formula and lasting power is just okay. this shade might work better for someone else so i would still recommend trying out if you’re eyeing it”
Tanning Essentials
“I work at a tanning salon and out of all the tanning products I’ve tried this is the most impressive with removing self tan”
Body Foundation
“I’m super picky with foundations and I honestly really love this. It’s great coverage for a serum foundation and it actually stays on my skin”
Beige Foundation
“I do find it settles into creases a bit more than other foundations but it looks extremely skin-like. But the best part is it lasts really well, and doesn’t transfer nearly as bad as other foundations that I’ve used”
