(Swipe left for swatches with the shade names!) For those of you who were on the fence about the @fentybeauty #KILLAWATT freestyle highlighters, now is the time to get them. They’re on sale at Sephora today only for $25 each, which is 30% off the original price. The @fentybeauty #KILLAWATT freestyle highlighter in Ginger Binge/Moscow Mule was my first highlighter purchase – ever. (#TrophyWifehighlighter was my second.) I bought this product on Friday September 8, 2017, after stopping by a Sephora to see what the Rihanna makeup brand hype was all about. Until that point in my life, my entire makeup collection could fit in one of those Clinique bags that you would get for free after spending $25. When I bought this highlighter, I didn’t know what a highlighter was. A few weeks later, I Googled “Fenty highlighter,” and Jackie Aina had one of the first video results. My makeup collection now … let’s just say a GWP bag could never. #fentybeauty #fentymakeup #BBPHighlighter #BBPFentyBeauty #BBPSwatches #fentybeautygingerbingemoscowmule #gingerbingemoscowmule #gingerbinge #moscowmule #fenty #fentyhighlighter #fentykillawatt #fentyface #fentyhighlight #fenty #killawatthighlighter #melaninmakeup #makeupforWOC #brownskinmakeup #makeupswatch #highlighter #highlighteronfleek #jackieaina #killawattfoil #beautyblogger #makeupblog https://www.instagram.com/p/B-dNcuqJB9q/?igshid=enbx1nv6a0oe

Can the new #FULLFRONTALMASCARA from @fentybeauty really transform my lashes from short, stubby, and flat to full-on volume and curl? I generally don’t wear false lashes, so I rely on mascara to elevate my eyeshadow looks and make my eyes look larger. Has anyone tried this new mascara?

(Swipe left for the swatches and shade names. For reference, my Mented foundation shade is T20.) @MentedCosmetics specializes in pigMENTED, yet natural makeup for the everyday person. A cut crease or a fuchsia lip isn’t always suitable for corporate America, so I often find myself reaching for these lipsticks when I’m in a hurry. I don’t think shipping is still guaranteed for a Christmas delivery, but I still highly recommend the Holiday Mented Faves Trio. This trio features three full-sized lipsticks from Mented’s existing cream lipstick line in special holiday packaging. Nude LaLa: A pinky-brown nude. It’s the nude that you wear when you don’t know what to wear. Dope Taupe: A medium-toned neutral brown shade that’s not too warm or too cool. Mented #5: A cool-toned brown nude with purple/eggplant undertones. My favorite shade! ___ Where the mirror meets the soul. Follow @BeautyBodyPearl for makeup, skincare reviews, and melanin beauty tips. ___ My skintype: Oily most of the year, but leans normal/combination during the winter months.

(Swipe left for the shade names.) @SydneyGraceCo has one of my favorite eyeshadow formulas. After being introduced to this fantastic brand by @thefancyface, I bought a few eyeshadows last spring, then again during their recent sale. I didn’t think of myself as an eyeshadow person until these creamy, pigmented formulas touched my eyelids. Easy-to-blend, yet true-to-color, I love how I can count on Sydney Grace for a fast and effortless look. I also like how the brand owners operate on social media. They have a very professional, yet warm vibe that most makeup brands lack. Instead of posting cliche, patronizing memes and using cutesy “best-friend” language, the owners talk to us like customers. They share interesting stories behind their product names and provide small glimpses into the production process. Their partnerships with makeup influencers seem organic and authentic. And most importantly, THEY SHOW SWATCHES OF THEIR PRODUCTS. I cannot stress how important this is. I purchased this four-pan mirrored eyeshadow palette from @CoastalScents. The @SydneyGrace eyeshadow singles pictured are Midnight Gold, Officer, San Diego, and Fool’s Gold. ___ Where the mirror meets the soul.

(Swipe left for the shade name.) I love the copper-terracotta undertones in this @milanicosmetics lipstick, which is from their Bold Color Statement Matte Lipstick line in the shade 12 I Am Radiant. The Bold Color Statement Matte line was released last year, and in my opinion, was completely underrated and deserving of more attention. I own about three shades out of the twelve, and I reach for these more often than many of my more expensive lipsticks. The formula is matte, but the Monoi Oil makes it more nourishing and tolerable on dry lips. This to me is a more vibrant version of the @colourpopcosmetics #luxlipstick on LA Lady. It’s also less red, but still similar to the @toofacedcosmetics Peach Matte lipstick in Got Peach? ___ Where the mirror meets the soul.

(Swipe left for #swatches and #dupes!) It’s officially #autumn, and I am so excited about that! I’m hoping that the summer weather is finally gone for good so that we can move into my favorite time of the year. I love a nice matte red lip with orange undertones for this time of the year. Here’s three of my favorite shades: @WetNWildBeauty 1230005 Blood Bank @AnastasiaBeverlyHills Spicy @TheLipBar Boy Trouble Blood Bank and Spicy are almost dupes, though Spicy has slightly more orange undertones. Boy Trouble is deeper and more vibrant than the other two. ___ Where the mirror meets the soul. Follow @BeautyBodyPearl for makeup photography, skincare reviews, and melanin beauty tips.

On this #selfieSaturday, I’m wearing the Urban Decay Stay Naked Weightless Foundation in the shade 61NN. On the @Sephora website, this shade is described as a “medium-dark neutral with a neutral undertone.” It’s a perfect description for my skin, because my undertone is seriously neutral. It’s not as easy to find a foundation match because I often come across undertones that are too yellow or orange. This is the sample from Sephora. I bought the full size during the Sephora sale a month ago, but I’m scared to open it because I want to make sure that it’s the right match. I’m so tired of the waste in the beauty industry, so I have made a decision that when possible, I will never again return a product that has been opened. When you return open products, they go straight to the trash and contribute to pollution. Also, returns cut into the retailer’s profit margins, which eventually leads to higher prices for all of us. Again, this rule is WHEN POSSIBLE, so this may not be feasible in places such as @ultabeauty where they don’t offer samples. But I will try. This photo has absolutely no filters or photo editing. Not even the lighting settings have been changed. I’m also not wearing any other makeup, since I took this photo to test the shade of this foundation against my chest. I bought two shades of this foundation — 61NN, which I am wearing in this photo and 70NN, which is a deeper shade. 70NN is described as a “dark neutral with a neutral undertone.” I have tried 70NN, which can also work for me, so I’m still unsure. ___ Where the mirror meets the soul.

(Swipe left for swatches!) I am always on the hunt for a good drugstore bronzer. There is a serious lack of options for anyone with skin deeper than MAC NC35. Earlier this summer, @lorealmakeup released their Summer Belle Collection. Designed to emulate a sun-lit look from the French Riviera, the collection contained bronzers, lip glosses, blushes, and body luminizers. I purchased the Bronze Please bronzer in the darkest shade, 04 Taormina, Dark. It’s a beautiful color with a slight shimmer and has a very light coconut scent. Luckily, it’s deep enough to bronze me, but I am quite disappointed that this shade won’t work for anyone deeper than MAC NC50. Brands really need to work on this. Brown skin tans too and need bronzers that will provide that sun-kissed glow. ___ Where the mirror meets the soul.
