I had no plans on purchasing the @BeccaCosmetics #BECCABFFs Malika face palette until I saw @thefancyface’s demo on YouTube. When I saw how Tina was able to get the “lit from within” look with the highlighter, I knew that this palette was just my style. And I do love love this palette. I tend to buy similar blush colors over and over again, but I was able to fill the gap in my collection with Make Me Blush and Yes Girl! I have fairly neutral feelings about the Kardashians and their posse, but I was somewhat annoyed at how light the Malika bronzer in this quad is. I don’t think it will show up on complexions deeper than a MAC NC45. According to Becca’s webpage, Malika wears their Ultimate Coverage Foundation in the shade Expresso. My shade in that foundation is Cafe mixed with Maple, which means that I am at least a full three shades lighter than Malika. It showed up in my skin beautifully, but I had to pack it on. There’s no way that Malika can wear that as a bronzer. Despite wearing sunscreen, I do have a tendency to tan during the summer months to about the same shade or just a tad bit deeper than @breezelouisse, who also did a review on this palette. The bronzer was nonexistent on her skin, so I probably won’t be able to use this palette during the summer months. To conclude, I did like this palette. But I wish that Becca formulated the palette for darker skin. More importantly. I wish that Malika, who actually has darker skin, actually fought for a deeper bronzer instead of just slapping her name on a package and collecting a check. —————————————————— Where the mirror meets the soul.

NARS blush in Torrid is a brown skin-friendly alternative to the #orgasmblush. While Torrid is more warm-toned with coral undertones as opposed to the pink ones found in Orgasm, the golden shimmer is still present. But unlike Orgasm, I can actually wear Torrid as a #blush instead of a glittery highlighter. The golden shimmer in Torrid is so prominent that you could probably skip the highlighting step in your makeup routine. I’m still looking for a blush similar in tone to Orgasm, but until that day comes, I’ll be more than happy to wear Torrid. Do you of you know about any blushes that are pink with a golden shimmer similar to Orgasm? If so, please share your brown-skin friendly suggestions below! #NARStorrid #NARStorridblush #NARSpowderblush #NARSorgasm #BBPblush #BBPNARS #BBPswatches #BBPblushswatches #NARSblush #brownskinmakeup #blushfordays #melaninmakeupdaily #makeupforpeopleofcolor #narsissist #narslover #narsmakeup https://www.instagram.com/p/BwArEp6FDfL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1r3jtrncbvdlx
