I’ve been a wearing Alice Cosmetics Foundation, oil control base, and blush for a little over three weeks now, and they work great.

I’ve been wearing their eyeshadow and eyeliner for most of that time too, but since I only got two shadows and one liner I ran out of different looks fast and since I like variety I had to sneak a few other shadows in the mix.

Of course Alice Cosmetics has more than two shadows and one liner for you to choose from, so you won’t have that problem.

Alice Cosmetics Foundation Review

I tried Alice Cosmetics Foundation in Light #2 (6.5 grams for $17.00 or 10g for $22).

The foundation applied smoothly, and looked natural, although I did notice it balling up in one or two places on my forehead on a couple of hot humid days.

Foundation tends to do this to me, and all I have to do is smooth it out and it looks perfect again, so it’s not that much of a problem to me.

I did not experience any breakouts or irritation when I was using this foundation.

Alice Cosmetics Oil Control Base Review

I used the oil control base (3g for $11) on my entire face under my foundation.

Although the oil control base does look pale in the jar, and in the swatch, it blended in to my skin perfectly, and when I wore it under my foundation the foundation did not seem to ball up on my forehead as much.

Alice Cosmetics Blush Review

I tried the blush (3g for $11) in Cherry Soda mainly because I love the name!

Isn’t that how everyone picks their makeup?

The blush is described as a “Gorgeous medium to cool cherry.”

It applied well without streaking and it isn’t as sparkly as it looks in the swatches, although I’m sure if you were going for the sparkly blush look you could get it too look that sparkly.

Alice Cosmetics Eyeliner Review

I tried the eyeliner (1.8g for $7.50) in darkberry, which is a “A blackish purple with a shimmer.” The color is beautiful, and it applied wet and dry without looking harsh or garish.

When I used the color as a liner it looked like a dark purplish black with a little shimmer, but when I took just a dab of it and used it it was a beautiful dark purple with lots of shimmer.

It also had great staying power.

Alice Cosmetics Eye Shadow Review

Oh, I had a time trying to decide which of the eyeshadows (1.5g for $7.50) to get but I finally chose Sky Blue Pink, because I love the name, and I don’t have any other shadows that are similar too it.

Sky Blue Pink is described as “A cherry-orange-tan with a blue iridescent undertone. Exotic.” but it was more of a cherryish color on me.

This is definitely one shadow that requires liner if you’re as pale as I am - without it I looked like I had red eyes, but with the darkberry liner everything looked perfect.

The second shadow that I chose was Pearl Beige, because I thought it would look good with the Sky Blue Pink, and because I wanted to try it layered over darker shadows, since I hadn’t thought about doing that before.

When I opened the jar I was worried that it would be a little too gold for me, but it was a beautiful neutral color on my lids.

It also is great to use for toning down a darker shadow - you can apply a little so you get a hit of twinkle from the pearl beige, or apply more so that you see mostly pearl beige with a hint of the darker shadow underneath.

I really enjoyed trying Alice Cosmetics, and I love the minerals, and the colors I chose.

All of them applied smoothly, and they were colorful so I didn’t have to keep applying more to get the intensity I wanted.

In the photo swatch of the colors I just dipped a clean finger in and swiped the shadows on my arms, so I did not blend them in.

The colors were a little less intense when I wore them because I did apply them with brushes, but of course you could get the same intensity as is in the swatches, depending on your application.

Alice Cosmetics Packaging Review

I really liked the Alice Cosmetics Packaging.

The shadows, blush and eyeliner were all sample sizes, but they still came in a nice square jar with a sifter and three holes.

Instead of having a piece of plastic that you have to work to get off of the sifter their was a cling wrap type piece of plastic covering the holes.

It was nice that it was so easy to remove, but I couldn’t just poke a few holes in the plastic to control the amount of minerals coming out like I normally do.

This wasn’t a problem for the sample sizes, but the 6.5 g foundation had over 20 holes, so there’s a lot of foundation in the top of the sifter.

Of course most people open all the holes anyway, so I don’t think that will bother too many people.

The packaging all has a beautiful green “Alice Cosmetics Logo” sticker and the green color makes the jars easy to spot in the dark recesses of my makeup case :-).

The foundation has the color of the foundation, the ingredients, weight, alicecosmetics.com and “made in the USA” on the label.

The sample sizes have alicecosmetics.com (It’s always great to know where to reorder, don’t you agree?) the name of the color,type of product, and made in the USA on the label.

Everything’s easy to read, and the only hard part is figuring out which color you’re looking for.

If you’ve tried Alice Cosmetics leave a comment and let me know what you think about them!

And stayed tuned for a review of the Buff Palette and the Eye Shadow Guard.
