First, the Groundwork Palette. What I love about this is their phenomenal formula in the velvet pomades which could be described as a cream to powder but it’s so much more than that! The velvet pomade truly melts into the skin. I would say it gives a medium but buildable matte finish that’s easy to layer and pair with other products. So far I have used them for eyeshadows, liners, and a lip color and I was thoroughly impressed!

Then we have the Blurring Balm Powder Lowlighter. I love that they’ve coined this product as a “lowlighter” instead of just another contour cream. Of course it’s going to be used as a contour and it will look beautiful, but it also gives such a pretty glow that can enhance and add depth to a look, but I think the name itself emphasizes how it can be used as more than just a contour.

Finally, I was so happy to get my hands on the Yummy Skin Blurring Balm for a new foundation! I had been hearing such good reviews on it the only thing I was waiting on was to try it in person, and  it did not disappoint.

Velvety and lightweight, this foundation glides onto the skin and blends into a really soft matte finish. I was impressed, again. This foundation is unlike a lot any creams I have tried in a very long time, the Yummy Skin doesn’t dry out or enhance texture once it’s applied. I think achieving a ‘velvety’ finish is one of the hardest looks to perfect… picture Tyra’s makeup looks in the 90’s, or Missy Elliot on the cover of Vibe. That’s a velvety makeup look to me, and that’s exactly what this product gives!
