BEST OF BEAUTY 2025
Danessa Myricks Beauty$34.00- “This has the most beautiful gel-like texture, and it's advertised as being kind of glowy”▶ 0:39
- “I don't necessarily think of this as a glowy based product as much as I think of it as a hydrating product that lets all my other products just sit better on top”▶ 0:45
- “I'm normally a person who doesn't think primer does a ton, but I genuinely do see a difference when I do and don't use this product”▶ 0:53
- “My subsequent products just sit better on top of this”▶ 1:01
- “I'm someone that has dry skin and a lot of times in the winter it can start to peel and flake. And I feel like this helps mitigate that and not mess up the foundation that goes over top”▶ 1:03
Fenty Beauty$36.00- “This is the hydrating version of that original foundation they launched with years ago”▶ 1:19
- “I would say it has a really natural satin kind of velvety finish”▶ 1:30
- “It is one of the best shade matches I have ever found”▶ 1:35
- “It melts into the skin. Like, you really can't see where the foundation starts and ends”▶ 1:41
- “The coverage is buildable, but it definitely starts on the lighter side, especially if you're using a sponge”▶ 1:44
- “Very skin-like, but you can get a little bit of coverage out of it”▶ 1:49
- “It softens it a little bit, but if you're really looking to cover, I would probably go in and spot conceal a little bit”▶ 2:00
- “Honestly, Fenty just knows how to make a good foundation”▶ 2:05
- “It is the foundation I wear most days”
Spectrum Color-Correcting Duoshade · Light to Medium
- “I will say the translucent shade is not super translucent. It's like very white. So, if you use this on its own, you're probably going to get a little bit of a cast, unless you have very, very fair skin”▶ 4:42
- “I like mixing it with the pink because I also like the look of a pink under eye, but I don't want it as pink as I did a few years ago”▶ 5:02
- “I was at dinner with a friend and she said, 'Your under eyes literally look airbrushed. Like seeing you in person, like it looks filtered.' This is the powder that I used when she said that”▶ 6:01
- “I started using them again, fell back in love with them, and they've been my most reached for in 2025”▶ 6:12
MAKEUP BY MARIO$34.00SoftSculpt® Shaping Stickshade · Fair- “I think part of the reason I love this one so much truly is the shade. If you have very light skin, it can be hard to find a cream bronzer that is light enough”▶ 6:28
- “This shade is the most perfect shade for my skin tone”▶ 6:51
- “It blends out so easily”▶ 6:54
- “This is such a good product. I'm not wasting any of it”▶ 7:03
Kosas$38The Sun Show Baked Bronzershade · Waves- “I've really fallen back in love with like baked powders like this this year because I find that they are very lightweight”▶ 7:33
- “They're not going to look like heavy or cakey or powdery on the skin”▶ 7:38
- “Because they are that like dry or baked texture, they also look very smooth”▶ 7:42
- “Glowiness kind of bring some life back to your skin”▶ 7:46
- “I find on the skin it just gives this like luminosity and glow without looking like I put a highlighter on as bronzer”▶ 7:55
RMS Beauty$36.00ReDimension Hydra Powder Blushshade · Crystal Slipper
Saie$32Slip Tint Undetectable Baked Setting Powdershade · Shade One- “The funny part is I hated this when I first got it”▶ 9:47
- “It is very glowy and it will emphasize your pores if you're not using it the right way”▶ 9:57
- “I could see a lot of people disliking this”▶ 10:03
- “They advertised it as a setting powder which it is absolutely not. Instead, I need you to think of this as an hourglass ambient lighting powder, and that changes everything”▶ 10:04
- “If you take a small dense brush and pack this on, you'll get that subtle powder highlighter look”▶ 10:21
- “If you take a fluffier brush and diffuse it over the skin, it'll help to kind of blur everything together”▶ 10:27
- “I would go with a light hand, especially on anywhere that you are not wanting to emphasize pores because this is kind of shiny and it will do that”▶ 10:34
- “When used a very specific way, it is so beautiful and I've been reaching for this every time I do my makeup”▶ 10:42
NYX$13.00Thick It. Stick It! Brow Gelshade · Taupe- “I don't think this is going to be for everyone, but if anyone out there has eyebrows like mine, you will understand the struggle”▶ 11:00
- “I naturally have very light eyebrow hairs and very few eyebrow hairs. They're very sparse”▶ 11:08
- “The reason I like this, it thickens up the eyebrows”▶ 11:28
- “I would really only recommend this if you have sparse eyebrows”▶ 11:32
- “I like to take this, run it through them backwards. Seems wrong. Go the wrong way and then comb them the right way. It adds fullness back to the brows. Makes such a big difference”▶ 11:33
- “I feel like this helps me kind of like map it out. See where I actually have eyebrow hairs, thicken them up, add a little pigment”▶ 11:48
MAKEUP BY MARIO$25.00Master Mattes Long-Wear Cream Eyeshadowshade · Sandstone- “I don't necessarily like this product to do a full eye look with”▶ 12:30
- “I find it a little bit challenging to do like a full eye look with a liquid shadow like this”▶ 12:36
- “If you are like me and you like a matte one and done brown eyeshadow, this is perfect for that”▶ 12:46
- “The shade sandstone I find gives me like the perfect look”▶ 13:00
- “I just do a few swipes, tap it in, and then I'll either use my face powder or my bronzer to like set it down, and then I'm done”▶ 13:02
Judydoll$17.993D Curling Eyelash Iron Mascarashade · Brown- “I don't think this is going to be for everyone”▶ 11:00
- “I want my lashes lifted and like up, which is hard to do. My lashes naturally point down so I have a really hard time with this and very few mascaras will hold a curl for me”▶ 14:45
- “This holds a curl better than anything I have ever tried and that's why I love it”▶ 14:57
- “Because this one has a very untraditional wand, it really doesn't clump up that much when you apply it that way”▶ 15:20
- “The wand is like a straight piece of metal. It has no bristles, which I initially thought was going to lead to a lot of clumping, but it really doesn't”▶ 15:26
- “I find when I apply the mascara like this, this direction, it helps my lashes to stay lifted”▶ 15:43
- “Also love the brown shade of this. It's so nice”▶ 15:49
- “It is one of the hardest mascaras I have found to remove. Like, think of it like a waterproof mascara. Like, it's going to hold your lashes and it's going to be on there. It's really hard to get off”▶ 16:04
Wonderskin$22.00Wonder Blading All Day Lip Stain Peel Off Masqueshade · Hush- “I use this basically every single time I do my makeup”▶ 16:21
- “This is always my base under my lip products”▶ 16:25
- “It is like the perfect nude lip stain to give the lips a little bit of color”▶ 16:27
- “I just love having a lip stain on under my lip combo because I'm less worried throughout the night if I'm like eating or drinking like, okay, like is this fading away? Is it getting patchy? Like it kind of gives you an extra layer of security”▶ 16:32
- “Even if the other lip products do start to fade, your lip combo is still going to look good”▶ 16:46
- “I have tried a bunch a bunch of shades from them. This is my favorite because it is more nude”▶ 16:54
Saie$20Lip Liner 101shade · Wink- “I've tried so many other lip liners this year. I just always come back to these ones from Saie”▶ 17:12

- “My genuine favorite from this year has been the lip liners from Saie”▶ 17:24
- “All of the shades, like every single one. I have them all. I wear them all constantly. They are always in my purse. They are my most used products”▶ 17:28
- “This wears so well, but it also fades really well, which is key with lip liner. I don't want it to fade patchy. Like eventually it is going to fade, and I want it to just kind of fade away and still look uniform on the lips and natural as it does disappear”▶ 17:35
Clean Fresh Yummy Blur Matte Lipstickshade · Blur the Lines
- “I don't think I ever need to use another moisturizer”▶ 18:55
- “I love all three. I use all three”
- “Even now when we're getting into the winter and it's getting dry, I'm still finding that this is plenty hydrating for me”▶ 19:22

- “It is very lightweight, but even though it's gel, I find it so hydrating on my dry skin”▶ 19:52

- “I use it minimum five times a week”▶ 21:40
- “It has made such a difference in just the overall texture and even tone of my skin”▶ 21:53
- “When it comes to red light therapy, I would not recommend buying just like a random $50 cheap mask because it's going to be a waste of $50 cuz it's not going to give you the results”▶ 22:13
