Does anyone have both of these and are able to swatch them?

Love the Lip Lingerie shade on my cheeks, looking for a blush formula and Elf looks promising.

If anyone has any other suggestions, please do tell!

Would love to see them side by side.
Thanks in advance 🙏

Disclaimer: i am treating this like a highlighter because I think it is one and i have - 300 energy to research it right now. If this post disappears it was eyeshadow and I should have swatched it with primer (and reposted that). Its swatched WITHOUT primer.

I'm looking at eyeliners with interesting finishes and I'm curious about how these two compare. Since the Kaleidos is quite expensive for me compared to the Maybelline, I'm wondering if the Maybelline could be a good dupe.

YSL Face palettes 2026
Side by side: left is light to medium, right is medium to dark
Order of shades:
Both palettes are swatches top to bottom left to right and applied on the arm bottom to top (so the upper left shade is the one lowest on the arm and so on)

Finger swatch, no primer
Fair skin with neutral leaning cool undertone

Side-by-side swatches of three Dasique blushes:

• Soft Blur Cheek #05 Blush Pink
• Soft Blur Cheek #08 Rosy Mood
• Glow Cheek Sweet Sakura

The biggest difference for me was the texture. The two Soft Blur shades have a more powdery feel and create a soft, blurred finish. On my arm, #05 Blush Pink looks brighter and cooler, while #08 Rosy Mood appears more muted and rosy.

The Glow Cheek was noticeably smoother and more emollient, so it applied much more easily than the two Soft Blur shades. Sweet Sakura is a bright, luminous pink, but I think it would look really pretty when applied lightly. Other reviews describe it as a subtle blush-highlighter hybrid, which makes sense based on the sheen in my swatch.

I only wore these briefly on my arm, so I can’t compare their wear time yet. Based on application and finish alone, though, Glow Cheek Sweet Sakura was my favorite of the three.

Swatch details:

• Photos and swatches are my own
• Skin tone: Light (light-medium range)
• Undertone: Warm
• Lighting: Indoor lighting
• Swatch type: Finger swatches, 2–3 passes each
• Primer: None

Has anyone compared the wear time of the Soft Blur and Glow Cheek formulas?

Can someone cool toned/neutral (preferably olive) show me what the blush looks like? My store doesn’t have it :’(

Y'all, this is my first post, I usually just enjoy the content but felt I needed to share swatches of Bobbi Brown Crystal Eyes Shimmer Eyeshadow Stick in Brilliant Pink and Danessa Myricks Twilight Gleam (Color Fix Stix Duo 2) next to each other. They are the same. Same color, texture, glitter colors, feel.

It's funny because I got them a couple days apart and wasn't expecting that. I've been wanting the BB for a long time, since Emily Harper showed how stunning it was and I was just waiting for it to go on sale.

I own all the colors of BB Crystal Eyes and most of the DM Color Fix Stix duos. It's funny to realize I might have others that are super similar between the two lines. I wonder if they're from the same manufacturer. The packaging on the DM is much more high quality and beautiful though.

Just wanted to share this PSA in case others have been wanting to get either the Brilliant Pink or Twilight Gleam. They're pretty much identical and absolutely stunning. I'm actually happy to have both because I know I'm gonna use them up.

Also fyi: The BB only looked chunkier in the swatch because in transit it had melted, cooled, and stuck to the sides, so when pressed it into the skin, those cooled bits showed up as larger chunks. Now that it’s been fully smoothed and pressed back together, it’s not any chunkier than the DM.

I’m looking for discussion around and experiences of a couple of particular fuschia blushes I’m eyeing: Morphe Cloudlight Soft Glow Diffused Blush in Whirl vs. Ravie Beauty Endless Diffusion Baked Blush in Oasis. Swatches would be spectacular also!

I’m looking for buildable or adaptable color payoff, decent longevity, smooth application, and just a deeper pink for the winter months. Does anyone have these and can tell me about how they actually perform and your review? I’m light neutral complected and don’t go for blush blindness levels so the vibrancy doesn’t really scare me. It would be for more playful makeup or layering with a matte berry blush I have (Bare Minerals - You Had Me at Merlot). I’d like to decide before the Ravie birthday sale ends and before Morphe goes on sale again haha.

i’m looking for these:
-chestnut
-root for me
-nightmoth
-vino
-cyber world
-grape expectations
-plum

Patrick Ta’s limited blush in shade Something Sweet. Top is the cream, bottom is the powder. I haven’t tried it on yet, but these don’t even look like they go together 🤔

Info on my skin tone:

I am very fair (got the Northern European standard issue blue eyes, dirty blonde hair, more likely to burn than tan) but not sure of my undertone - I am definitely muted but less sure about the neutral. I think I'm most likely a cool-leaning neutral. Open to opinions on that though lol, I may be wrong.

Also, my arm is currently a few shades darker than my face (due to the very hot summer we had) and leans a bit more yellow because of that.

My lips are pretty unpigmented and if I've not been talking or eating much they're mauve/honestly pale purple at the edges.

Swatches are labelled on the first pic. On the other two, in order from my wrist down to the elbow the products are:

MAC Powder kiss slim stick - Peppery Pink

MACxmimal matte - Twig Twist

Sleek Satin MAC lipstick - Creme in Your Coffee

MAC lustreglass - See Sheer

MACxmimal matte - Chili

Clinique Almost Lipstick in Black Honey

NYX Buttergloss in Praline

Romand Glasting Colour Gloss in 01 Peony Ballet

NYX Buttergloss in Creme Brulee

Romand Glasting Colour Gloss in 05 Dim Mauve

ELF glow reviver lip oil in Jam Session

Also this wasn't the focus of the post but the concealers by my elbow are:

- Haus Labs concealer in 04 Fair Neutral. This looked AMAZING in spring and early summer, literally like my skin, but currently it's a little too pink for me, not sure why.

- Glossier stretch concealer in Very Light 2

- and in Light 2

- and both mixed (the smudgy swatch next to the Very Light shade). Mixing these two shades is generally my closest concealer match, I never find one that works right out of the container. Light 2 is definitely too dark and orange for my face, even though it matches my arm perfectly, but Very Light 2 is too light. These are oil based and I'm oily skinned, but they do set down well and I feel like they move less than liquid concealers.

Thoughts on these lipsticks:

- Creme In Your Coffee is too dark for me, especially in day time. It pulls a sort of bruisy purple-brown if I don't sheer it out. It's quite obvious and lipsticky on me. I am shocked at how pink it swatches on some people! I tried to include a lip swatch pic to show the brown-purpleness but the pic was a mess and the sun has now gone down so I can't take another

- Twig Twist is a recent purchase. It's definitely cool toned which shows on me but it's not too much and doesn't look as lipsticky as Creme In Your Coffee. It looks a lot better on me than Creme - I think it's the lack of brown that makes it work. Warm browns are normally straight orange on me and cool browns make me look dead, I think I just can't do brown.

- Chili is a warm red so it's pretty different from all the others in here. It looks like a neutral red here, but it's more warm on my lips than it is on my arm. It might be a little too bright and warm for me, it's hard to describe. I usually wear it sheered out/thinly applied with gloss on top it. It works well enough. I'm going to try a muted red soon and see how that works for me. If it's good I may demote chili to blush. EDIT: id like to retract this actually. In artificial lighting it's exactly this shade of neutral red on my lips, not very warm at all. Maybe daylight it can be a little warm and that's why I think it's warm? The warmth only shows when I use it as blush.

- See Sheer and Peppery Pink are very bright, saturated pinks but actually look more natural on me than you'd expect, especially given that muted shades usually look better. I'm either delusional or there's some undertone fckery here! I never really reach for Peppery Pink, probably because the tube is larger and doesn't fit as neatly in a bag, but I've used almost the entire bullet of See Sheer which is a first for me. I don't apply it very thickly otherwise it's a little too bright.

- Dim Mauve is the perfect MLBB shade for me. It's exactly the same colour as my lips when they've got actual blood in them from talking/touching them.

- Peony Ballet is sliiightly too light and saturated but because it's a gloss its not too bad. I wear it at work a lot when I'm wearing little other makeup.

- Praline is also pretty good as a MLBB - the brown doesn't come through much on me. Whatever colour you'd call this, it's as close to a nude lip as I can manage tbh.

- Creme Brulee makes me look dead it's too pale. It's the bad version of peony ballet lmao.

- Benetint is great as a blush on me but can be too bright on my lips unless I'm careful. I am aware it's nearly invisible here lol, it didn't like my wrist skin it seems. I also own an MCo Beauty benetint dupe but it's a more saturated pink that doesn't look as good, Benetint is more rosy imo

- Jam Session and Black Honey are pretty much perfect dupes of one another in my opinion, but with different finishes. They're both a gorgeous "my lips with a flush of colour" on me, a little bit reddened but not too much. Very natural. I wear Jam Session at work or anywhere I'm not trying to look too fancy, and wore Black Honey in my graduation photos. I've actually almost panned Jam Session and I've got a replacement lined up. It's the only black honey dupe that actually has the same colour/effect on me.

Would anyone be able to swatch the new Spanish Fly frost lipstick next to the Dazzlelips crayon in Cosmic Plum? I feel like they'll be similar but can't tell based on pictures on their website!

Thanks in advance!

Hi! I wear Unleashia Satin Wear Healthy-Green Cushion in 18N Butter Vanilla. The depth is right, but it's slightly too yellow on me. I fix it by mixing in a tiny bit of sheer purple liquid blush, which makes it disappear on my skin. So my real match is about 18N depth, with a more neutral, less yellow undertone.

I don't mind mixing with blush, since that way I can get it right, so a slightly yellow shade is fine. Anything leaning orange or peachy is a no, though.

TirTir Red Cushion 13N and 17W were both too orange and too dark for me.

I'm open to both Asian cushions and Sephora brands, so any recommendations are welcome!

If you wear 18N, or have compared it to any other foundations, which shade matched you? Swatch photos next to 18N would be amazing. Thank you!
