his powder beautifully blurs the skin -- almost doing the work of an Instagram filter. It also leaves skin slightly dewy, which is in line with the natural, glowy skin look that's been so in lately. My hesitation with recommending this product comes with the latter quality because I don't think people who are looking for a traditional setting powder will be satisfied with this, as the finish is definitely not matte and does not do a ton to hide shine. But for those going for a natural, dewy look; this very well may be your dream powder.

This product packaging is so cute. The product itself isn't bad, but not mind-blowing. It feels like a lightweight moisturizer, so sometimes I'm not sure if I really need it in my routine -- it feels kind of strange to apply it after I've applied moisturizer and SPF.

I think I'm partly enamored with this lipstick because I love the shade Truth or Bare, which is the perfect subtle, your-lips-but-better, cherry pink. Though this formula doesn't have quite the staying power of other lipsticks (including the original Le Marc Lip Creme), it lasts a reasonably long time and feels incredibly comfortable on. It's a lipstick I keep reaching for.

This is a pretty standard pencil eyeliner, but the formula is creamier than most. It goes on seamlessly and smudges easily. I don't really understand the smudge tip, which unlike most smudge tips isn't round or tapered, but is kind of flat on top. It didn't really work for me.

Like other Tom Ford products, the lipstick part of this duo is pigmented and felt incredibly comfortable on my lips. I understand the value of the pointed tip (lip contouring is currently really big -- and who doesn't want to contour their lips into a Kylie-sized kisser?), but I found myself mostly using the lipstick end, so it really didn't add any value to me. One other small gripe: The package is so long, it doesn't fit as compactly in my clutches as I'd like.

Kevyn Aucoin continues to deliver with a product that looks oh-so-pretty in the package. And on the skin, this highlighter imparts an ethereal glow. However, I did feel like this formula drew attention to my pores and fine lines. I also wondered if the color was really as universal as it claims to be -- because it's got a slightly rosy/bronzy tone, I could see it being difficult to wear on very fair skin.

This is a comfortable lipstick that brings a lot of pigment. It claims to last six hours, which I think it falls short of a little (it fades for me after a few hours), but it's not bad for the price ($13).

This lipstick feels so comfortable on. It's got great pigment and a pretty matte finish. However, I don't love the applicator (it's a flat top, which makes it tricky to navigate my thin top lip). I'm also not inclined to actually use this as a multistick (for cheeks and eyes) as it's intended.

This brush is so soft and pretty -- and it does work really well with Kevyn Aucoin's Neo-Highlight Powder. It's just not incredibly versatile, and you do have to really think about how to use it (where to concentrate the powder, how to hold the brush on your face) to get it just right. For $60 I'd appreciate something a little more versatile and less specialized.

This brush is a real workhorse. It's soft, and the shape works well for powder, bronzer, blush or highlighter. Apparently, you can use it on creams too (but I haven't wanted to defile it with foundation).
