Nay or Yay?

Nay
I loved it when I first put it on. It went on so smoothly, but by the time I came back for the 5-hour check-in, it was super creased at the inner corner and also in all the smaller wrinkles below my eyes. The coverage is still in place. It hasn't worn off at all, but it definitely settles in wrinkles.

Yay
These are the Illusionist Skin Focused Concealers from About Face. I do really like their packaging. [...] About Face already proved to me that they were creating beautiful olive tones when they launched their initial foundation. They do have some really beautiful olive tones, like true olive tones.

Why we only pair takes from the same month

A formula gets reworked, a price moves, and a product people loved in one year is not the product they are handed in the next. Two takes far apart in time can look like a disagreement when they are really a description of a product that changed. So a face-off only pairs experts whose videos went up within a month of each other, and neither take here is sponsored.
