    when the powders break easily, or when packaging falls apart. If i pay higher price for something, I expect it to be more sturdy and user friendly

    for example the Rare Beauty Silky Touch Highlighter powder - its nice but I have to be so careful with it it gives me anxiety. Its rare to see one intact online or in reviews so I feel like every little bump and just putting it in my makeup bag can shatter it. I dont want to baby it and be scared of it. I want to enjoy it.

    ive also seen broken Kosas powder packaging and Huda fauxfilter Concealer leaking all over the place. these things really keep me from purchasing because I dislike when things break or leak out due to packaging.

      Nars is so bad for this! I have so many busted compacts, plus that rubbery exterior finish gets so dirty and disgusting.

      Every rare beauty highlighting powder I bought online arrived shattered and they’re always sold out in stores. But it’s such a beautiful highlighter I keep them anyway

        It takes the fun out of using it. I can’t even touch it without thinking it’s already shattered

          Yeah I’m surprised they haven’t found a way to reformulate it to fix that issue, or at least change the packaging to make it ultra sturdy or something. It’s such a good highlighter but it has such a fatal flaw
