ABOUT THE RECOMMENDATIONS
The Temptalia community is enthusiastic, honest, and diverse, so crowd-sourcing top picks from our readers is an excellent way to keep track of and organize the answers from our weekly “Hit List” post, which has typically asked for readers favorite [fill-in-the-blank]. Instead of scanning through comments, everyone’s answer(s) get saved to the Recommendations Database along with pertinent information like skin tone or skin type (as applicable).
We invite you to share your own recommendations, and if you think you might be making recommendations often, consider registering and filling out your profile as the form will pre-fill with your profile information for you each time!
Thank you for taking the time to add your recommendations to our database! 🙂
I have to vote for Pat McGrath, Sydney Grace, Colourpop pressed powder and Viseart. I actually really like the Violet Voss ones too.
I have voted for the bareMinerals Ready formula that has never, ever disappointed me; Lorac, Sydney Grace, Coloured Raine and Dose of Colours. I think the niche brands are really delivering the goods.
Sydney Grace Queen Of Hearts not only got an A+ from you, but it is thoroughly phenomenal. Best red shadow ever, possibly my best SHADOW ever. Actually have not been snared by Pat yet for e/s, though I know Pat’s rule. Top now is definitely Sydney Grace, followed by CP, older UD, and Lorac 2017. Yeah, that was their best vintage, lol, and a sentimental favorite.
Oops, forgot Viseart. In my three Adept palettes, one is SG, one is V, and one is CP. They really do represent all that one would ever need. Some days I just open them and envy myself!
Juvia’s Place should absolutely have a spot on this list. Their shadows are AMAZING.
Another vote for Pat Mcgrath- the payoff and blendability are fantastic. Worth the price!
Oooh, noo, this makes me think I need Viseart Editorial Brights even more than I already do. Anyone have any feelings on that specific 12-pan compared to others’ matte brights formulas?
For reference my top two formulas are Natasha Denona and Anastasia (but of course neither of them have a wide array of matte brights).
