I Tried Sephora’s Highest Rated Makeup… Here’s the Result
Natasha Denona$52.00- “One of the things I love about this foundation is the undertones are just spot on”▶ 1:54
- “It's got great coverage, it has a very natural finish, so it leaves the skin looking natural”▶ 4:14
- “It doesn't look overly dewy or glowy or radiant, and it doesn't look dry and matte and flat either”▶ 4:18
- “It looks like natural, healthy skin that is a subtle radiance”▶ 4:26
- “It's very controlled, it's not really shiny, it doesn't look too shiny or dewy throughout the day”▶ 4:32
- “It wears really well, it's a great longwearing foundation and it's lightweight”▶ 4:39
- “It's great for over 40 skin when you don't want a lot of heavy products that just accentuate texture”▶ 4:44
- “I fell in love with this last year”
Hourglass$38.00Vanish Airbrush Concealershade · Drift- “This is such a great concealer, the Vanish concealer, great coverage, it just wears beautifully, very longwearing”▶ 5:07
- “It's got a very peach undertone to it, which I need especially to cover this bruising”▶ 5:20
- “I like this concealer because it also has a pretty natural finish, it sets really well, great coverage, it's not too heavy, it's nice and lightweight”▶ 4:39
- “It doesn't feel heavy either for the amount of coverage that you get”▶ 6:14
Benefit Cosmetics$27.00Precisely, My Brow Detailershade · 4- “This is just my favorite combo of the moment, I love it, love it, love it”▶ 7:07
Benefit Cosmetics$28.00- “I love this, you guys, I just love this product, it's my favorite brow gel wax”▶ 8:42
- “It's a wax, but it's in like this gel component, so it is a lighter weight wax, which I like, it's kind of a hybrid between a brow gel and a wax”▶ 8:54
- “It has phenomenal hold, so if you have a lot of bushy brows and you need them to be held in place, this one is going to work so good, but it's not too heavy and sticky like other brow waxes can be”
Huda Beauty$60.00Easy Bake Loose Baking & Setting Powdershade · Peach Pie- “It is just so soft and fine and light”▶ 10:38
- “It instantly blurs the skin, as you tap your brush on the skin, you start to see texture disappear, it is like a little airbrush tool”▶ 10:43
- “It's lightweight, which is great especially for mature skin”▶ 10:55
- “This is a phenomenal powder, I really love it, you guys”▶ 11:32
- “It has earned its rating in my book”
Rare Beauty$30Warm Wishes Soft Matte Powder Bronzershade · Sun Blaze- “This is really pretty, it's a very soft bronzer, it does look very smooth and almost blurring”▶ 12:23
- “This color is beautiful, it's very warm, very sun-kissed, the perfect bronzer shade”▶ 12:39
- “It's very easy to layer it, it's not too pigmented and it's not too sheer either, it really gives you a lot of control”▶ 13:00
ILIA$36.00Soft Focus Blurring Blushshade · Flutter- “I personally love these myself, I think they are so beautiful”▶ 14:41
- “It's a really pretty warm peach, it works well with the bronzer”▶ 15:43
- “I highly recommend this as a powder bronzer for mature skin because it's going to give you some radiance and some glow without a heavy shimmer or a heavy sparkle, which we all know that can magnify texture”
- “This is going to light up the skin, reflect light without magnifying texture or making your pores look larger”▶ 16:04
Natasha Denona$82.00Eye Sculpt Texture & Tone Eyeshadow Paletteshade · Soft- “I think everyone can love and benefit from this palette, it's just got a wide range of neutral shades, warm and cool, light to dark, matte to shimmer to pearls, it's very very versatile”
- “This palette is just so good”▶ 22:23
- “I think this is just one of those palettes that you can create an entire look with and just use this”
- “This particular formula in this palette, it's just a little... not smooth, a little flaky, the little highlight shadow here, I'm a little disappointed with, it's just a little dry and like flaky, it's not adhering to the skin well”▶ 22:25
Fenty Beauty$19.00Flypencil Longwear Pencil Eyelinershade · Puppy Eyez- “This deserves five stars in my book, it is so good”▶ 23:36
- “It's metallic but bronze, it's soft and glides onto the eye so easily”▶ 23:42
- “You have a little time to work with it before it dries, once it dries it does set and stay in place really well”▶ 23:45
- “I just think the color is so beautiful, it's this beautiful metallic bronze, I love it”▶ 23:51
- “I love this mascara”▶ 25:09
- “It gives pretty dramatic lashes”▶ 24:49
- “This is not for someone that likes more separated lengthening, like a mascara that really lengthens but doesn't add a lot of volume”▶ 24:54
- “If you like your lashes to look a little thinner and more separated, this is going to make them look really thick”
- “I do feel like you have to replace this mascara more often because it's a thicker formula”▶ 25:11
- “After about five or six weeks, I feel like it looks real thick and the lashes get a little clumpy”▶ 25:17
- “It's just not a mascara that you can really build and build and build without getting clumpy”▶ 25:29
- “I think this is a great mascara, but it's not for everybody. It's definitely for those that like a lot of volume and aren't afraid of a heavier looking lash”▶ 25:47
Bobbi Brown$35.00Lip Liner Pencilshade · Muted Rose
Anastasia Beverly Hills$26.00Matte & Satin Velvet Lipstickshade · Peony- “I love this lipstick, very pigmented, very creamy, pretty hydrating for a matte lipstick, like it doesn't feel dry, but it's also blurring”▶ 28:46
- “I love it, it's so beautiful”
- no stillMAKEUP BY MARIO$48.00SurrealSkin Natural Finish Foundationshade · 4.5n
