Testing the Latest Beauty Launches
Ready for some honest first impressions? Today we're diving into a full face of brand new makeup products to see which ones deserve a spot in your beauty bag and which ones you can skip.
Base Game Strong
Starting with the Benefit Cosmetics Matte Pore Minimizing Primer, this created the perfect canvas for the Kylie Cosmetics Blurring Skin Tint. The combination worked beautifully for a natural, skin-like finish that didn't feel heavy.
Blush Battle: Liquid vs. Powder
The real showdown happened with blushes. The Kylie Cosmetics Lip & Cheek Blush Tint impressed with its versatility, while the Fenty Beauty Suede Powder Blush delivered that signature Fenty pigmentation. But the real winner? The Kosas Blush is Life Baked Dimensional Blush "Hype" - the depth and dimension were unmatched.
Finishing Touches That Matter
For bronzing, the MAC Give Me Sun Bronzer provided natural warmth, while the Make Up For Ever Artist Color Pencil Extreme "Anywhere Caffeine" proved to be the perfect nude liner shade.
The Bobbi Brown Extra Plump Lip Serum "Bare Rose" added the ideal finishing touch - subtle color with serious hydration.
The Final Verdict
Not every product was a winner, but the standouts definitely earned their place in the makeup rotation. Which of these new launches are you most excited to try?
💡 Expert Tips
Test Blush Formulas Side by Side
Don't just stick to one formula - liquid, powder, and baked blushes all have different finishes. Testing multiple textures helps you find what works best with your skin type and application style.
Prime Smart for Skin Tints
Lightweight bases like skin tints need the right primer to grip properly. A pore-minimizing primer creates the perfect canvas without competing with the natural finish you're going for.
