If you're looking for a shimmery, shiny blush and/or highlighter, the Killawatts might just be a better bang for your buck. That said, these nifty sticks are great for on the go. We like to keep one in our glove compartment for a last-minute kiss of color. Plus, the shade range is just so fun, from the iridescent lavender Confetti to the peachy Yacht Lyfe.
Is the shape slightly gimmicky? Sure, but it also works. The chisel-wedge shape really does "hug" your cheekbones and all its angles make it quite versatile. (You can even use it for eyeshadow in a pinch.) And if you like this one, you may want to check out its new big sister, the Cheek Hugging Bronzer Brush 190, $36.
The true matte finish is dramatic and photogenic and the inclusive shade range is gorgeous. We're major fans of the original Uncensored red, which has a chameleon-like ability to transform on different skin tones and undertones — and you can't go wrong with the goth-friendly Uninvited black. Our main caveat is the fact that it can be messy (transfer-proof it is NOT), as well as its slightly drying formula. But those are minor quibbles when it comes to an otherwise, well, stunning liquid lipstick.
"Fairy" is an accurate descriptor for these powders because the shine they afford your skin is ethereal, rather than chunky. And even with the major, major color payoff, they add a soft-focus glow to your look that feels lit-from-within.
Since it's formulated for both face and body, this highlighter comes with a little extra product, so the compact is slightly larger than the others from the brand. It's also on the sheerer side, which is all the better for the chunky but-not-too-chunky silver glitter suspended in the gel-to-powder formula. It adds an instant touch of etherealness to pretty much any makeup look you can dream up and yes, it sparks joy.
