For the eyeshadow today I used the new Rare Beauty eyeshadow palette. I really like it, it blends beautifully and there's hardly any fallout, very nice.

This is their eyeshadow palette, which is this one. It doesn't look very exciting, but it could be. I like a beige. This is a beautiful color. The formula feels very different to what they did before with the eyeshadows, remember those colorful ones. This definitely feels a lot smoother and a lot more pigmented.

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.
