Magic Cream

Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Powder

With one sold every minute, this extremely fine-milled setting powder locks makeup in place for an entire day.

Palmitoyl tightens and firms thin, lined skin while wild indigo extract brightens the skin’s natural radiance. Lastly, the Magic Precision Sponge tip provides seamless and flawless application.

Full Fat Lashes Mascara

An award-winning 5-in-1 mascara with a buildable formula that dramatically increases lash volume, length, and definition, this clump-free, glossy black formula glides on without flaking, melting, or drying.

The unique five grooved brush head with a maximum bristle count pushes lashes up and out, separating them while depositing the perfect amount of product from root to tip.

Dab this highlight onto cheekbones, brow bones, or the Cupid’s bow for an instant luminous effect that’s quick drying but stays dewy.

Lip Cheat Lip Liner
