Hourglass Phantom Volumizing Glossy Lip Balm
This lip gloss is in my daily rotation for everyday wear. It combines the hydration of a balm with the shine of a gloss, with a subtle plumping effect. I personally purchased the shade “Entice” last year, and I love how the red shows up on me. Since my lips are naturally pigmented, it doesn’t look overly bright - just a wearable red.
During this year’s sale, I tried “Reveal”, expecting a more noticeable pink based on the online swatch, but because of my natural lip colour, it appeared quite sheer. I’ll likely exchange it for “Thrill” or “Red” for a bit more impact.
Disclaimer: Lip products can look very different depending on your natural lip pigmentation. Even within your season, you may need to go slightly deeper or more saturated for the colour to show as intended.
PATRICK TA Major Headlines Double-Take Crème & Powder Blush Duo
This blush is one of the most popular products I see among my clients. In fact, almost every client I’ve worked with owns at least one shade! My personal favourite is “She’s Giving”, a vibrant hot pink that has incredible payoff. The formula is highly pigmented, so a little truly goes a long way. I personally apply the crème first for a natural flush, then set it with the powder for longevity and added intensity.
How I Sorted These Shades by Season
The seasonal groupings in my images are based on how each shade appears on the models and how the colour reads in terms of undertone, depth, and intensity.
A few important notes:
Colours may appear lighter or deeper depending on your individual complexion (such as lighter or darker lips)
Some shades sit between seasons and can work well for neutral undertones
Your best shades will depend on your unique combination of features
As always, use your season’s colour dimensions as a guide and trust your eye when something looks especially harmonious on you.
