STUDIO TECH
I Love the hue and natural finish of this powder. I have a red undertone so I use NW for M▪A▪C but for Studio Tech I go for yellow undertone NC50 because it looks more natural and blends with my body tone.

TRANSLUCENT POWDER (LOOSE)
The finish of this loose powder is amazing. I found this powder during one of my regular eye-brow waxing visits at Caryl Visage. Cool thing about this place is once you have membership you get discount items from their make-up line to beauty services like microdermabrasion and free facial in your birthday month

This is one of the best sheer powders I have used in terms of brightness and ease of application. Most times I use it for contouring or just use it to highlight my cheek bones.

SHIMMER WAVES
Whenever I remember my first use of shimmer waves I laugh. It was just a “oh let me see what’s new in body shop” moment and sales associate was giving this product to people entering the store. At first I thought it was just a plain eye shadow with 5 colors but I flipped the case over and saw the eye, face and cheek symbol. This just got me excited as I could blend all colors and use for my eyes or cheeks.
Product description from The Body shop
Best if you want to: Sweep colors together for a stunning, all-over glow on the face and cheeks or use each one individually on the eyes or to accent specific areas.
Best for: all skin types
What it is designed to do:
- Pearl pigments provide shimmer and sparkle, helping to disguise fine lines around the eye area.
- Ultra-fine talc is a high-performance powder that enables smooth and even application.
- Community Trade marula oil from Namibia helps to repair skin’s moisture barrier.

LIPSTICK
The reason why I started using lipstick was because I was looking for a lip color to go with my nail polish. The M▪A▪C store was the best option I had in terms of variety. It took more than 45minutes to find the red lipstick I wanted but it was worth the wait.
Product description from M▪A▪C Cosmetics
Color plus texture for the lips. Stands out on the runway. Simmers on the street! What made M·A·C famous.
