Benefit Girl Meets Pearl: Liquid Pearl for Your Face

Beth — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 16:28:40 +0000

I am generally skeptical about illuminizers. They all seem about the same to me. And they don’t tend to work well with powder foundations, which I wear habitually. But Benefit’s new Girl Meets Pearl, a liquid pearl for you face, is pretty darn beautiful. You can use it under your foundation as a primer, or straight over, on the apples of your cheeks, bridge of your nose and even your cupid’s bow (above…

NARS Pro Prime Smudge Proof Eyeshadow Base
