My Current Favorites I Can't Stop Using
ColourPop$9.00Brow Boss 24HR Lifting Brow Gelshade · Clear- “This one is by far the best one”
- “I really enjoy the fact that this is more of a liquid wax texture, and it allows me to really put my brow hairs in place while they want to be more stubborn and droop down throughout the day”▶ 0:41
- “This one for sure holds them up without being extremely crunchy”▶ 0:52
- “I do it before my brow pen or pencil and as well as afterwards and it works wonderfully in both scenarios”▶ 0:57

- “I love this brow pen for really, really micro strokes”▶ 1:22
- “First of all, the shade is perfect for my brows”▶ 1:29

- “This works incredibly well”
MOB Beauty$21Cream Clay Eyeshadowshade · Linen- “This is a very interesting formula to me because when you first apply it to your eyelids, it almost feels oily, kind of serumy, if you will, but as you blend it out, it literally feels like nothing”▶ 2:14
- “It doesn't even, it almost feels like a powder in the sense that you can't actually feel it dry down on the lids”▶ 2:31
- “This does not have the best staying power by itself. However, if I do pair this with an eyelid primer, it works throughout the day”▶ 2:40
- “It's just a really nice canvas for other eyeshadow products to go on top without giving you that heavy feeling of another layer of eyeshadow product”▶ 2:47
- “But this does not do that”
MAC Cosmetics$24.00Multisculpt Matte Liquid Eyeshadow + All-over Colourshade · Cool Spice- “This is beautiful on the eyelids and it's also really beautiful sort of as a transition blush shade”▶ 3:27

About-Face$20.00- “These are really, really fun because you have eyeshadow powder on one side and they are duo chromes”▶ 4:44
- “I like the eyeshadow sticks because they feel really creamy. They're very blendable. They're not tugging on the eyelids”▶ 5:00
- “They are definitely more interesting in terms of newer releases”▶ 5:45
Urban Decay$25.00- “I honestly can say that I haven't loved an Urban Decay product this much since the Urban Decay Face Bond that came out in 2024”▶ 5:58
- “It doesn't get clumpy”
- “It allows just the right amount of product to go onto the lashes”▶ 6:25
- “I love the definition that this gives me”
- “It gives you tons and tons of definition, slight amount of length, and a little bit of volume, but I just love how clean this looks on the lashes”▶ 6:36
- “It makes it look like you have a million lashes”▶ 6:51
- “It does not flake or smudge because it is a tubing mascara and it's really easy to take off at the end of the day”▶ 6:08
m.ph by Mary Phillips$64.00Underpainting Face Highlight & Contour Paletteshade · Medium- “This is one that has definitely grown on me”
- “I have been loving this for a lot of customization because this essentially is giving me a contour, a bronzer, a concealer, and a color corrector all in one”

- “I love that more natural skin finish that this has”▶ 9:15

- “It is beautiful, wonderful. I love it”▶ 9:35
Maybelline$12.99- “I can't stop reaching for these”
- “I love the way that this just feels very much like skincare. It's not heavy. It doesn't dry out the skin. It doesn't feel overly greasy, but it does give you slight hydration”▶ 10:23
- “This is beautiful all over the face as a replacement for foundation”▶ 10:34
- “It doesn't emphasize any lines or any textures that I have under the eyes”▶ 10:40
- “It just makes you look awake and brightened”▶ 10:45
- “You can go quite heavy-handed with this without fearing that it's going to look heavy on the skin”▶ 10:52

LYS Beauty$24.00- “This is a beautiful brightening concealer for myself”▶ 11:04

- “It's a very easy one to reach for if I'm looking for higher coverage or if I need something that's going to stay all day, look more like a satin matte”▶ 13:19
- “It's going to be something that's like very, very no fuss”▶ 13:30
- “It also doesn't emphasize texture. It doesn't sink into my pores or my fine lines”▶ 13:38

Glossier$24- “I just love this formula, you guys. Specifically from Glossier. I think that they perfected this formula”▶ 16:45
- “It has just the right amount of pigmentation. It blends out seamlessly on the skin”▶ 16:52
- “It gives you that very blurred matte look, but it also has a little bit of a sheen to it”▶ 16:59
- “It doesn't emphasize any of the hyperpigmentation or freckling that I have on my skin underneath”▶ 17:08

Haus Labs$30Precision Sculpt Shaping Balm Contour Stickshade · Silhouette- “Silhouette, I have learned, has been such a beautiful contour that is not an aggressive contour”▶ 20:33
- “It is a cool brown versus being more of a gray tone. I find that cool browns are the best tones for me when it comes to a contour”▶ 20:41
- “I was a little bit skeptical about this at first because I felt like it almost blended into nothing. But I've learned that that is almost its strength”▶ 20:58
- “This feels like it blends into a powder, so you don't have to worry about the product clinging to itself as you're layering it on top”▶ 21:11

- “This makes me excited about the future setting sprays”▶ 22:52

Kosas$22Hotliner Hyaluronic Acid Contouring Lip Linershade · Infinite- “It's such a beautiful warm rose shade to just outline the lips and really define them”

- “I just cannot get enough of this shade. It works so well for my complexion and it just goes with so many different lip products that I want to put on top of it”▶ 25:06
