A soft flush Canmake
Try this if you want a little color you can tap on with your fingers. The gel texture blends into the cheeks and sets as it dries. Use a light layer for a soft flush, then build it up if you want more color.
A fine lash line Canmake
Choose this if you want to define your eyes without drawing a big wing. The soft 1.5 mm gel tip gets close to the lashes. Brown gives a softer look than black. Twist up only a little, because the tip does not retract.

A visible glow Cezanne
Pick this if you want your highlight to show. The pearl powder adds brightness to the cheekbones, rather than a barely visible sheen. Start with a light brush sweep and keep it to the spots you want to catch the light.
For length and curl KissMe
Start here if you want longer looking lashes and help holding a curl. The curved brush and fibers build length, while the formula resists water and oil. For removal, soften it with warm water first, then use facial cleanser.
A glossy lip tint Cezanne
Pick this if you want lip color with a light, wet looking shine. The tint leaves color on the lips as the gloss wears down. Natural Pink is a soft starting shade; Pink Beige gives a more muted everyday look.
