THIS is the best makeup ... According to AI

I had a chat with AI (Chat GPT) and asked what the BEST makeup is...

• ESTEE Lauder Double Wear Foundation - I have tried (and I performed a wear test) this foundation. The Estee Lauder Double Wear retails for $52 and can be found at retailers such as Ulta and Sephora. For years, I had heard the Double Wear was the end-all, be-all because of it's longevity and full-coverage capabilities. When I finally had a chance to try it, I found it to be a medium-coverage, with a buildable finish to almost full coverage depending on the application. It does wear down decently well throughout the day; I didn't notice any seperation or wear issues when I performed my wear test. After having used this foundation several times since that wear test, I have found there are alternatives. Not only are there better alternatives, but I have also found a great $5 dupe from Makeup Revolution.

• NARS Ultra Creamy Concealer - this is a product I have yet to try. Once upon a time this was the "it" concealer all over Youtube. In fact, this concealer is so "old" (in terms of when it was released) that I actually wasn't able to afford it at the time of it's launch (circa 2013). This is a quite pricey concealer, retailing for $32. I cannot help but wonder if the Maybelline Fit Me Concealer is a $6 drugstore dupe for this high end concealer? (Leave me a comment if you've tried both!)

• Anastasia Hills Brow Wiz - this is a the ABH Staple Product; the product that literally made the brand gain popularity back in the earlier 2010's. ABH was known for her brow wiz formula. Unfortunately, this is another product I haven't had the pleasure of personally testing out (maybe I should....?) But have heard rave reviews that it's truly a remarkable product.

• Charlotte Tilbury Pillow Talk Lipstick - thank goodness for minis! I was able to purchase both a mini of the Pillow Talk lipstick and lipliner from Charlotte Tilbury; it had become available as a set through Sephora for about $29 at the time, and I thought "why not try it". I have found the formula to be very matte, but I do love the colour as it fits my natural lip shade nicely. But I am here to tell you there is a very affordable $5 dupe from Wet N' Wild.

• Urban Decay ORIGINAL Naked Eyeshadow Palette (discontinued) - this eyeshadow palette brings back a LOT of memories. I actually got my hands on this palette in 2018 - and by that point in time it was actually being discontinued. I wore this palette the day I got married, so it holds a special place in my heart. I think the biggest thing I have loved about this palette is that it offered both warm and cool tones all in one palette while still staying neutral. You have warmer-toned browns, but nothing too yellow or red-leaning, as well as some cool tones as well as some navy blues in there. Overall this was an easy palette to work with and one of my favorites in terms of color story. I really don't know why they discontinued this palette when it was such a cult favorite among so many, and then replaced it with the Naked Reloaded which received mixed reviews.
