I do generally quite like the brand but I do think that everything is very samey. She needs to expand the colour offerings in lipsticks in particular. They all look the same. The palettes are all so similar as well. It’s kinda all the same look again and again.

I think she has clearly built a great brand and fair play to her, but her products just don’t do it for me. The vibe is cheap to me and it doesn’t help that her counters are always messy with products burst open and spilling out. I’ve never repurchased anything apart from a concealer that I just don’t bother with at all any more.

No matter what sculpted foundation there isn’t a bit left on face by end of day. No staying power

I found her products to be inconsistent, formulas and shades of products seemed to have changed when I repurchased so I gave up on the brand a long time ago. I agree with comments about Aimee’s own make up looking like it’s been sitting on her face half the day and she always seems to have the same look whether it’s day to day or going somewhere special, she hasn’t evolved at all.

I agree. I think what she has done is fantastic and well done to her. But I've been disappointed by everything I've tried. I want to love the products as it's an Irish brand, but I've been burnt so many times by inferior quality (to me) that I won't take the risk of buying anymore.
Giving the products, I find the success a little baffling tbh but I still think it's great for Sculpted and i hope it continues.

I like their cloud cream, it’s really moisturizing, and the skin tints decent, but quite shiney, your always needs a setting powder for it, coz otherwise u just look sweaty

She obviously has the investors to push the brand yes its done well but it's still not a luxury brand if buying a low cost brand i want it cheap like catrice which is really good for the price I think sculpted is too expensive for the quality

The cushion foundation is a complete scam. Who wants to buy half the amount of product for a more expensive price?! I haven't bought any of her products in a long time. Didn't like any of the foundations and blusher dried up.
That’s the standard size of a cushion foundation, it’s not specific to her brand.

100% agree. Catrice is an excellent quality.

I bought a tirtir in Boots (i really like it, you use very little), I don't think i paid €20 for it.
It's cheaper online if you dont mind waiting.
Sculpted's is more expensive and it doesn't have that cachet of being a well known cushion brand. The pricing is a bit off.
Edit: it's €32! Genuinely didn't think it was that price.

it's an Irish brand
Just curious about that. Is her stuff manufactured in Ireland or is she doing like Lisa McGowan (Lisa's Lust List) and lots of others - bringing stuff in from China?

Genuine question btw. Just that it irks me when I see Lisa Lust and others claiming to be - or being proclaimed as - an Irish brand, when it clearly isn't.
 
Tbf I think her products are made in Korea but her business is based here. However, i don't think it's a dropship, white label situation. Sculpted staff do seem involved in the production and design. She has an Irish base and commercially her staff are here. So i do think she is an Irish business and not comparable to LL etc.
I'm not sure if it would even be possible to make makeup in Ireland. A few countries really have a handle on makeup production: Italy and Korea would be known for excellent production. Not the same as made in China!

She also shows her visits to the different production plants and brings staff with her
She isn't all cloak amd dagger like others or saying her products are better than other very very very expensive brands

I don't follow her, nor do I use her products. So just genuine curiosity. 😁

I think she still owns 100% of the business which is super impressive tbf. I do like the brand in general as I’ve said before but I do wonder if she’s kinda hit the ceiling with it in some ways. Will be interesting to see what she does with it in the next few years.
