The #ProductEmpties We Loved to the Last DropFrom new finds to longtime favorites, these are beauty products that our editors use until the bitter end (of the tube) |
The Natural-Looking Blush That Drives Me to Scrape the Container Most blush makes my makeup look heavy-handed. I've got fair skin that flushes crimson with the slightest exertion. (Anatomy discussions, telling a waiter I don't like my food and being addressed in a room full of people also turn me infrared.) So, too much of a highly pigmented color leaves me looking perpetually mortified or drunk.
Benefit Dandelion, on the other hand, makes me look like I've been traipsing over hillsides plucking petals from daises while a cool breeze laps at my cheeks. It's a soft, girly pink and it is my blush soul mate. When paired with lash extensions (my other favorite beauty product), I feel like an off-duty Disney princess (which, in my book, is a good thing). It's the ultimate #nomakeup makeup product for those of us trying to trick people into thinking we #wokeuplikethis.
At $28, it is sort of expensive for a blush, but it's a price I'm willing to pay since I find myself scraping the pan -- something that never, ever happens with my other rouge pots. --Emily Woodruff
