Options within a compact kit

This selection contains alternative styles and shades within three types of stage makeup. The two lash styles are choices, as are the two lip colors. Compare their shape or color against your own preferences, then choose the option that fills the gap in your makeup kit.

Compare the exact formula

A familiar shade name can appear in more than one formula. Check the full product name and current retailer selection alongside the source notes. For lashes, compare the style number, pack quantity and anything you need to buy separately, such as adhesive.
