Like Monistat chafing gel and numerous primers, this has silica powder suspended in a silicone base. It mattifies skin slightly, which "blurs" pored and wrinkles - just like how shiny highlighters mak...

Note: according to my pH strips this is slightly basic. If I used it long term I'd combine it w/ acidic toners or serums. So the thing about DDML is it's practically the only high end, cosmetically e...

TL;DR: + Looks shimmer-sheeny to me w/out glitters, unlike a ton of other highlighters I've tried that ppl have said this about + Good hue for pale ppl, also weirdly uncommon - Wears off really fa...

This gives me low key racoon eyes after a few hours at work, even in great weather. Really surprised since NYT-owned Wirecutter endorsed it. I honestly don't think I've looked this bad since that time...

I got a travel size of this cheap, hoping it would be a tubing type mascara. It's not. I hunted down the INCI; 1st ingredient after water is "synthetic beeswax", then acrylates copolymer, then ozokeri...

TL;DR: this crumbles/flakes a lot sometimes - brittle. But doesn't run/smudge/stain from tears or water. Best for natural-ish look; no double coats - best with no double sweeps even. Update 1: water...

I tried this because it seemed to be the most recommended foundation for people whose skin "flakes up" as soon as liquid foundation touches it. It in fact is better in that regard than anything I can...
