I bought a Kevyn Aucoin makeup product before a wedding because I wanted something that would photograph nicely without making me look overly made up. It ended up being one of those products I kept reaching for afterward. The finish looks polished but still like my actual face, which is exactly what I want. I just wish I had discovered it sooner.
The sensual skin enhancer has unmatched pigmentation, a single pinhead size covers full-face redness. However, the packaging design is frustrating. The tiny plastic tub leaks oil around the screw-cap rim constantly, making a total mess in my professional makeup kit.
I was doing my makeup for a wedding and wanted something that would photograph well without looking heavy in person. This did exactly that. My makeup still looked like skin, even after hours of talking, eating, and taking approximately a million photos.
The compact has survived being tossed into my handbag every day without cracking. That might sound minor, but I’ve broken enough makeup packaging to really appreciate the sturdy design.
The Sculpting Powder is one of those products where the shade makes all the difference. It gives me a believable shadow instead of an obvious stripe, and the compact is small enough to keep in my makeup bag. The price is high, but I use so little each time that mine has lasted ages.
I ordered the sensual skin enhancer and it arrived completely separated into a oily liquid and a hard paste. It looks expired and smells incredibly rancid. When I looked at the batch code online, it turned out the product was manufactured over three years ago. They are shipping out old, expired inventory to customers.
The makeup products deliver professional-quality results. The formulas are easy to blend and very long-lasting.
Kevyn Aucoin makeup delivers beautiful pigmentation and blends effortlessly. The products feel professional and long-lasting.
Unlike most bronzers that look warm or orange toned, this formula has a perfect, cool gray undertone that mimics a real shadow on the face. It blends out flawlessly without looking muddy or patchy, allowing you to sculpt out cheekbones and a jawline out of thin air. A staple for professional kits.
Iconic makeup products with flawless blending and natural finish.
I appreciated the pigmentation and blendability of the contour products overall. Some shades looked darker in person than they appeared online.
I’ve been using the skin enhancer for years now. A little goes a long way, which I appreciate at this stage in life. Covers age spots nicely without settling too much into lines. Learning curve though, I used too much at first and it looked heavy.
Good quality but feels a bit outdated compared to newer brands.
I know the brand for makeup, but the skincare surprised me. It is lightweight and works well under foundation.
sooo i’m obsessed with the kevyn aucoin contour stick. it blends like butter, i swear. i’m not even good at contouring but somehow it just makes my face look snatched without trying too hard. i also love the lip color — super rich but not drying. kinda pricey but feels like you’re using pro makeup. feels very main character tbh.
it feels a bit overkill. Better for special occasions than daily wear, unless you love doing full glam
Some of the products, while long-lasting, are a significant investment.
For makeup mains who want sculpted naturalness but still wanna flex. It’s cult-classic vibes without looking like you tried too hard.
As a makeup artist, Kevyn Aucoin’s Sculpting Powder is a go-to. It blends seamlessly and gives that sculpted yet natural look. The pigmentation is perfection, and it doesn’t feel cakey, even after hours of wear.
Cheek blush is natural looking but needs retouch every now and then.
Love the color of the blush, but is not natural looking. Maybe I applied too much.
Love the color of the blush. It looks so natural when applied and stays longer than expected.
As someone who loves makeup but often feels overwhelmed by trends, the name Kevyn Aucoin has always held a special reverence. He was a legendary artist, known for his transformative techniques and emphasis on enhancing natural beauty.
Natural looking blush, no sticky feel on cheeks
Beautiful gradient blush, it blends well and gives a natural, healthy blush look. I naturally pretty with it!
Love the color
