Love everything that came I ordered two kits as you can see I'm 42 and was finding it difficult to find a foundation that just looked flawless and didn't feel thick sticking and heavy plus having a foundation that was close match to my complexion the pictures are in different lighting and I still think it is pretty good ?? update* this lip kit is awesome I'm a heavy smoke hours later it's still in place and looking great 9-1-22Excelente inversiónThis is a waste of money. I was hopeful..... but it wasn't any better than make-up from Walmart.Don’t waste your money it’s a lot of cheap makeupThis is a review of the HilarcoAll In One Makeup Kit.I am always on the lookout for good cosmetics and makeup so I was eager to try this out. Happy to say for the most part, I like it a lot.This set has it all, from foundation and brushes to lipsticks, mascara, lip liners, eye shadows and even brow soap. So how did I like it?I really liked the mascara and the eye-liner the best and they stay on all day. I have natural thick and long lashes so I am always careful about 4D mascaras, but this one is nice and doesn’t clump. The eyeliner is great too, and I can put a very dark but thin amount on my eyes and it looks great. (Do be careful it’s easy to accidentally get this on your fingers.)Now, I have older and dry skin, so some of the other items weren’t so great for me but that’s more my issue rather than this kit’s problem. I found the eyeshadows to be way too shimmery and glittery but if you want that, this is the set for you. The lipsticks come in a variety of colors but didn’t stay on my lip that well and some bled into the wrinkle lines above my lips. I am not blaming the lipstick for this it’s just not the best for older skin.The brushes are nice, the brow soap, concealer and setting powder are all good.I would say this would make a great gift for someone and it’s really a complete kit. I would just say that it may not be the choice if you’re older, but it would be great for most others.This big set had a couple of good products, the others not so much. The foundation was ok. It went on well and gave good coverage. I like the brow tamer also. The rest had no staying power. I think a young lady just starting our using makeup would love this set!I love trying new make up, so I was excited to see this kit with such good reviews. Unfortunately my experience was not great. The foundation provided full coverage, and would have been great had it not caused my rosacea to flare up. The lipsticks were several nice colors, but unfortunately they did not stay put very well, and there was a lot of transfer onto glasses and my teeth. The eyeshadows were very pretty, but did not have much staying power, even when my eyelids were primed beforehand. I do however, really like the mascara, eyeliner, and brow tamer. I have sensitive eyes and rarely wear mascara, but this did not irritate my eyes and washed away cleanly. The same thing applies to the eyeliner. It did not smear nor did it irritate my eyes. The loose powder did not irritate my skin like the foundation did, but it did not match my complexion, so I did not wear it beyond a "try on." Overall, this set wasn't a winner for me. If you are someone who uses this foundation and concealer normally, this would be a good value. However, I would buy the eyeliner and mascara individually in the future.I use Phoera fountain regularly and have bought it several times straight from their website for $20.00 for one foundation. Seeing all the products that come in this kit for such a low price made me wonder if the stuff was a authentic but, after using the foundation, I can say that it is (and I will be buying my foundation from this seller going forward). This kit comes with everything but blush for a full face of makeup. I can use the lipsticks though if I I want a flush on the go.The foundation is matte and full coverage. I sometimes mix in a little CC cream that is sheer to thin it out because I have very dry skin and like a touch of dewiness. It looks good alone too. I chose Nude because I wanted a shade lighter so I could mix my deeper BB cream with it and it works perfectly that way for summer. I always use Buff Beige when I wear the foundation alone. That is the perfect medium shade. I love the primer and wish it were a full size one. That is the only product in the kit that is a mini.The mascara and liner were new to me and both are very good. I am going to buy the mascara again when I need more because it gives me long, lush lashes and doesn't flake at all. I can even sleep in it and it looks fine the next day. The liner is deeply pigmented and it, too, lasts until I remove it.The concealer in this kit is a very light shade but quite good. Another long lasting product that covers very well. I don't use eyebrow soap so I can't speak about how that works. The setting powder is lightweight and not cakey. Works great but I don't even need it to set this make up because it is so long wearing on its own. The brushes and sponges are very good and versatile.The matte lipsticks in the kit are shades of red, deep pink, and a deep coral/brown. These are nice but not the best matte lipsticks I have used. They will smear if I don't apply and let them dry completely. Once dry, they don't wrinkle my lips as much as others but they are not as long wearing and do transfer. Still, they're fine for a few hours of wear. I would say that the lipsticks are the weakest link in this kit. But as liquid blush, they look fresh, natural, and stay on all day. Just a few dots on my cheeks and blended out with one of the included sponges and I have no need for a powder blush.The eyeshadows are various shades of nudes and browns. The compact has a mirror and an applicator but I use my own applicator. The shades are matte and very wearable for everyday looks or anytime. The shades are not super pigmented so I will often double layer them if I want a more obvious look. Alone, they're noticeable but subtle.I love this set. The only things I wish were included were blush and their setting spray which is amazing. I would swap out the powder for the spray because I have dry skin and prefer a spray. Everything is really good quality and the price is ridiculously low for so many full sized products. I am going with 5 stars with no hesitation. I love the brand and am delighted with the new products I discovered in this kit, namely the mascara and liner which are the best two products in the kit besides the foundation and primer. The concealer is very good too and I will look for a shade deeper to buy.
