I bought this as a freckle pen , as that I love it it’s super pretty and the colors works great but as a eyeliner it’s just too transparent.

Products related to Transparent Makeup

Transparent Lipstick
“You can also use a brush (I saw someone using a regular foundation brush, which works pretty well) but fingers are just as easy. Great for a transparent, lit-from-within glow. There is no shimmer, so it is a nice wash of color that's more natural”
Sheer Makeup
“I recommend applying with your fingertip or brush as it is very light and sheer. If you use a foam applicator it will get shucked right up”
Transparent Face Masks
“I love fresh masks! Rose Face Mask offers great moisture and Sugar face polish repairs my skin well”
Glass Skin Makeup
“Still looks nice without makeup too but I wish the red popped a little more on my skin tone but nonetheless it’s nice”
Soft Makeup
“The box claims that it is an ultra-light primer to minimize the look of pores, and I agree it does do, making the skin look soft and blurred. It is described as gentle, breathable, and non-comedogenic with a 73% water-based formula for gentle, cloudlike lightness that lasts for 12 hours”
Creaseless Makeup
“I've tried using setting powders with it, mixing it with my normal, creaseless concealer, using a primer under it, applying it to a bare face, over foundation, under foundation, using brushes, using sponges... absolutely everything I could think of or find online”
Subtle Makeup
“You will not disrupt the makeup underneath and will easily achieve the “wet look””
White Makeup
“Love that it has spf and is tinted so there is not white cast! Also no noticeable smell”
Healthy Makeup
“In the summer, I have to powder my whole face to get my makeup to stay, and this sets it down so you cannot tell there is any powder”
Ethereal Makeup
“The lightweight formula effortlessly enhances my complexion, giving an instant ethereal glow without any chunky glitter. I absolutely love how it brightens my skin and evens out the tone, thanks to the addition of vitamin C”
