    Lip Contour Stainshade · Toasty Brown
    • The Huda Beauty lip stain is one of my all-time favorite products, not just for 2025, but for the lip category in general2:57
    • I put this on at like 10:00 a.m. this morning. It is almost 11:00 p.m. at night and it is still on3:07
    • My favorite shades are toasty brown, which is what I have on my lips right now. And also shade soft nude. Love these. These are fantastical3:23
  2. @maryammaquillage reviewing Guerlain Watery Oil at 04:12 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Guerlain$160.00
    • This one is incredible. It is extremely pricey4:00
    • It is one of those products that I believe is a splurge4:12
    • It is one of the best serum priming oils out there4:17
    • What it does is it coats your skin with this layer of hydration and also this balancing sensation, something that you could actually visibly feel and see on the skin4:45
    • This product to me just preps the skin in the best possible way for the next step5:17
    • It is my all-time fave
  3. @maryammaquillage reviewing Dior Backstage Face & Body Foundation at 06:54 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Dior$45.00
    • My go-to of all time, my absolute favorite luxe foundation has got to be the one and only Dior backstage6:44
    • This is so trusty. It is so promising6:54
    • If you have freckles that you want to show off, but you have acne scars that you want to cover up, this is probably the best product to do it with and make it look completely undetectable7:11
    • The undertone is so right, so flattering. It's so realistic. It looks like skin7:37
    • It covers, it perfects, it beautifies7:43
    • It kind of sets and it locks in. It becomes one with your skin7:45
    • I already feel like my skin is dressed up. Like I can even skip concealer7:55
  4. @maryammaquillage reviewing Haus Labs Triclone Foundation at 06:31 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • If you have oily skin, this is just an incredible, incredible foundation6:28
    • It does everything that you need your foundation to do if you are an oily skin type6:31
    • It lasts, it looks beautiful. It has that really reliable, medium to full coverage, buildable type of formulation6:37
    • I even like this one in the winter time. And because it's creamier, it offers just a little bit more pigment. So more coverage for those of you who need it
  5. @maryammaquillage reviewing jane iredale Skintuition Foundation at 08:26 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • This looks very much like skin. It acts like skin care. It has mineral SPF, so it's good for your skin. It's acne safe8:26
  6. @maryammaquillage reviewing Colorescience Total Eye at 10:25 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • This is a color corrector, a sunscreen, mineral sunscreen, an eye cream, and a concealer in one10:11
    • It does so much and it is so unique in that I almost don't feel bad recommending it for this price because I honestly haven't come across anything that does this much10:25
    • It brightens, it conceals, it protects. It's amazing
    • This doesn't need to be set with powder
  7. @maryammaquillage reviewing YSE BEAUTY Brightening Eye Cream at 11:51 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • This is also an eye cream and a corrector in one can act as a concealer11:35
    • This was another one of those products that I loved that I reached for a lot and will continue to11:51
  8. @maryammaquillage reviewing Hourglass Vanish Airbrush Concealer at 12:43 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Hourglass$38.00
    • Hourglass is beloved for a reason, and I will say it's probably up there for me12:14
    • This is very, very creamy, very pigmented. You need just the tiniest amount12:43
    • The finish here is matte and it has a beautiful light reflecting brightening effect12:53
    • It will cover up everything without adding that extra bulk13:23
    • It definitely dries down flat and then you can continue adding it if you really want to build it up13:36
  9. @maryammaquillage reviewing Saie Dew Blush at 14:15 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Saie$26.00
    • These shades are so juicy. They're so flattering14:01
    • They were by far my most reached for, my favorite liquid blush for the summertime14:15
    • What I like about this one is that it goes on creamy, but the way that it sets still makes it look like it's a little bit wet, like it's a little bit dewy14:38
    • It's not makeupy. It's still fresh. It's still kind of glowy and youthful, you know?14:51
    • I really like this formula. It is like a 10 out of 10 for me14:54
  10. @maryammaquillage reviewing Summer Fridays Balm Blush at 15:15 in a YouTube Shorts video
    Blush Butter Balmshade · Sweet Rosé
    • Both beautiful shades. A little bit more wearable than the say, but also still very easy and just girly15:10
    • Great if you want to add just a little bit of a pop15:15
  11. @maryammaquillage reviewing Valentino Eye 2 Cheek Blush at 16:37 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • For me in the true luxe category, nothing beats the Valentino blushes. These are my absolute favorite
    • They are so stunning. First of all, the shades are just so expertly picked15:49
    • It's not patchy
    • I far prefer them over the Dior blushes that are super viral16:37
    • I like the colors. I think they're a little bit more interesting, a little bit more sophisticated, and definitely more flattering. Not so just like trendy and momentary, but a lot more timeless and classic16:45
  12. @maryammaquillage reviewing Danessa Myricks Beauty Blurring Balm Setting Spray at 17:20 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • After I tried this one, all others just paled in comparison17:09
    • This is like a powder in a spray. This is so different from all the others because it absolutely sets your makeup. It melts it, but it also gives it this nice velvety sort of veil that just makes your skin look more blurred than before17:20
    • This is incredible. This is my favorite. I just got my hands on a second bottle, and I'm like cherishing this17:39
    • This is nowhere near that. It doesn't give you that sensation. It doesn't give you that look or feel. Also doesn't feel like hairspray. It's just wonderful17:55
    • Probably up there in like my top 10 or my top five best product of 202518:05
    • Sometimes if I'm wearing a lot of different layers, like if I'm wearing full coverage and like lots of concealer, I sometimes even skip powder and I only use the spray just because I want it to look very natural and very dewy and like not as makeupy. And it works even for me. Even for an oily skin type, it works18:32
  13. @maryammaquillage reviewing Hourglass Setting Powder at 19:19 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • This is an excellent setting powder. Very very fine, finely milled. Perfect for the under eye, for any delicate places around your face19:08
    • Adds a nice little brightening effect. Definitely very blurring and perfecting19:19
  14. @maryammaquillage reviewing MAKE UP FOR EVER HD Skin Pressed Powder at 19:44 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • MAKE UP FOR EVER came out with the best pressed powder, you guys. This HD skin perfecting pressed powder19:32
    • I gotta say, is one of their best launches in a while19:44
    • This is incredibly forgiving on textured skin. It's one of those powders that you can continue piling on and it will continue looking really, really undetectable and flawless20:06
    • This is my favorite, my most reached for pressed powder of the year20:35
    • In 2025, a new powder came out that is just as good, if not better, than the Charlotte Tilbury20:46
  15. @maryammaquillage reviewing Patrick Ta Highlighter Duo at 22:40 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • This to me is a very unique concept. I appreciate it. I think it's very cool. It's very different and I really really loved his launch22:47
    • This isn't your 2016 highlighter. This is cool. This is current. It's dewy. It looks editorial. It looks very thought out22:40
    • The effect that it gives is kind of in duplicatable. You can't use any other products in order to achieve this23:08
    • This was definitely my most reached for, at least for the first half of 2025, highlighter of the year23:17
  16. @maryammaquillage reviewing Patrick Ta Eyeshadow Duos at 23:56 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • You cannot talk about 2025 makeup without mentioning the iconic, and yes, they are iconic at this point, eyeshadow duos from Patrick23:45
    • These are incredible. These are so different and so worth the price of $42 per duo23:56
    • The effect is so different from everything else. The sparkle on these eyeshadows, the wet finish effect, that super glossy, super expensive luxe type of feel is what you're paying for. And this definitely delivers it24:07
    • These are definitely worth splurging on because they look so unique and so different. You can almost immediately tell that someone is wearing these. That's how special they are24:45
    • When I wore these is when I would receive the most compliments on my makeup24:55
  17. @maryammaquillage reviewing Natasha Denona Eye Sculpt Dramatic Palette at 26:10 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • If we're talking about neutrals, I'm going to give it to the Natasha Denona Eye Sculpt Texture and Tone Palette in the dramatic shade25:44
    • This is great because it's numbered by undertone and by intensity26:10
    • Kind of like really easy to understand how to build your look around it, how to sculpt your eye, your features. Very, very nice palette26:27
    • I reach for it all the time

  20. @maryammaquillage reviewing Natasha Denona I Need a Nude Lip Liner at 36:40 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • All of these are supposed to be lip shades. So they're not necessarily going to be contour shades. They're not actually supposed to be noticeable on your lips36:31
    • All of these are kind of shades of nude and pink to actually mimic natural lips36:40
    • These are definitely great for that because again, they're expertly picked specifically for the color and so they serve that purpose36:56
  21. @maryammaquillage reviewing Polite Society BIG Mouth XL Lip Plumper at 35:53 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • This one was the most plumping, the most effective gloss I've ever tried35:34
    • It is spicy as hell, especially the first time that you use it, but it is good as hell as well35:53
  22. @maryammaquillage reviewing Huda Beauty Lip Oil at 35:04 in a YouTube Shorts video
    • My most used lip oil for the year was actually the Huda Beauty Faux Filler Jelly Oil34:55
    • I actually ran out of the third color. I emptied it. And I don't think I've ever emptied a lip product since I started this channel35:04
