I stockpiled the Cafe lipstick back in the day when they were closing down. I really miss it.
The whole brand was just brilliant. The Magic Powder was gimmicky but lovely, and I still wear Calyx sometimes (Clinique resurrected the formula).

Undereyes: plenty of moisturiser. Then a tiny dot of Tape Shape in the undereye hollow, blended out by patting with a finger. Allow to set, then apply foundation and blend over it, and set with powder.
TINY TINY dot - pinprick-sized. You really need very little indeed with a properly pigmented concealer. If it’s not enough coverage (unlikely - my dark circles look like big bruises!), wait until it’s set and apply another incredibly thin later.
Tom Ford Bare Peach lipstick: it was my PERFECT summer nude. I haven’t been able to find a dupe. I also loved Lavish, which was a glossier and sheerer peachy nude. They’ve discontinued that too.
While I’m still on Tom Ford, the Cream Color for Eyes was wonderful; that was discontinued earlier this year. I’ve stocked up on Golden Peach, and I’ll be so sad when it runs out. Both the cream and the powder formulations in that set were spot-on for colour, coverage and shimmer: again, I can’t find anything quite like it.
