This Celebrity Makeup Artist Is Responsible for a Ton of My Saved Makeup Looks—Now He Has His Own Product Line

I usually tend to gravitate toward warm golden brown eye shadow shades, but trying this pink-themed palette was a refreshing treat for me. Each of the shades are so stunning and work with a variety of skin tones. I especially loved the metallic shades of this palette—they have just the right amount of shimmer. All the colors also blend really nicely together and the end result definitely gives you a glossy editorial look.

I do, however, wish they were a bit more pigmented when applied to the lid. I did find that it took quite a bit of time to build up to the vibrant shades I wanted on the lids, but once I got there it looked amazing. I recently wore this palette to an event and it was one of my most complimented eye shadow looks to date. The quality of this palette speaks for itself!

This palette is definitely more in my comfort zone. Because I'm Brown, I tend to stick to these types of shades for everyday wear because they flatter my skin tone the most. The warm tones here look beautiful on any skin tone, but if you're Black or Brown, trust me, this palette is a must. The bronze-copper corner shade is unreal on the lids. It fast became my favorite shade in this palette besides the rich-looking gold. The neutral hues also complement the shimmers perfectly here so they were well-picked by Vanngo. You can create so many different looks with this palette and I had so much fun creating both more glamorous nighttime looks and simple everyday looks using only the matte shades.

Whew, talk about out of my comfort zone. I'll be totally honest, although I've been a beauty editor for years now, it wasn't until recently that I started to play with more adventurous makeup colors. I never would have touched these shades a few years ago because I believed I lacked the skills to make them look as high-end and gorgeous as I wanted them to be. Now, I'm glad I gave this palette a try. It's perfect for those nights you're feeling extra and want to do something bold. The blues in this palette are super vivid and I'm planning on using it to pair with my Halloween costume when the time comes. The darker teal metallic shades in this palette are absolutely stunning. I found myself gravitating toward those the most.

The only reason I never really got into lip liners is because I'm lazy, but after trying this one, I'm a changed woman. It's funny how much adding something as simple as a liner can make your lip color pop. This nude shade is the perfect neutral to wear with the brand's Creamy Matte Velvet Lipstick (more on that below) or it's great to pair with a clear or neutral pink gloss. I tried it with both and absolutely loved the results.

This lipstick was one of my favorite things I tried from the brand. For starters, the shades are really vibrant. They're so flattering and thoughtfully curated to suit all skin tones. I also love how hydrating the formula is. I know that some people might see the word "matte" and immediately be scared away, but it never feels drying on the lips—even after hours of wear.

I usually don't love powder blushes. I usually gravitate toward cream formulas more, but this blush is definitely one of the exceptions. I do have to warn, though, that it's extremely pigmented. I initially dabbed a bit too much on and had to blend, blend, blend like crazy to get it to more of a "natural flush" look. But, if you use sparingly, you'll love how nicely this sinks into the skin and how beautifully it shows up on Black and Brown skin tones.

I liked this bronzer, but I tend to prefer a creamier texture only because it blends better into my skin. This one is a little more powdery and definitely gets the job done, but it wasn't my favorite.

I have a confession to make: I haven't worn eyeliner in years. Looking back on photos of myself in my younger years, let's just say I went a bit overboard in this department. After that, I decided to ditch it in favor of shadow colors I used in the crease of my lids and it worked great. But, despite that, I decided to give this liner a go anyway and ended up loving it. Just a bit at the corner of my lash line really makes my eyes pop and this formula glides really easily without bleeding much throughout the night.
