2024 Beauty News Awards

[@annamadnoseeeee]

Also....Kat and Hailey, it has been fantastic having Beauty News back. Thank you for blessing us with your time and effort and amazing videos!

[@helenluvs2laugh]

Emilio Pucci (1914-1992) was a designer. His patterns were famous and that's what you're seeing on the products.

[@the_soup2284]

btw just so people know, Ensley Reign has recently been caught liking anti-trans and anti-vax instagram posts (along with lying about their use of AI). a lot of influencers have stopped supporting them over this. just keep this in mind if you choose to buy from them

[@taranullius9221]

I don't know who or what an Ensley Reign is but I'm tired of this. Spend 2 seconds reading about what a world looked like w/smallpox, or how polio is still endemic in parts of Africa. Look at it. Also FYI bootlickers, there's no "good ones" in the world that's coming. No amount of collaboration is going to stop you or your daughter bleeding out during a miscarriage or seeing even more endemic SA 'cos half of the most powerful nation on earth's cabinet is made up of r-word-ists, including its president.

[@taranullius9221]

Trans rights are human rights xx.

[@TrinaMadeIt]

That’s good to know!!

[@BEAUTYNEWS]

That’s really disappointing. They’re not on my to try list for 2025 anymore!

[@PamelaH_HappyVibes]

@@BEAUTYNEWS- I was about to tell you about their anti-trans rhetoric so, I am glad somebody else told you. No way, would I support them now.

[@glitterroach]

Someone was drunk when nominated Ensley Reign as beautiful packaging. That packaging is cheap AI art that is not even rendered good on the packaging.

[@saulemaroussault6343]

Apparently it’s not AI, just weird filters and tweaks on top of real art ? Idk though. It certainly gives generated image vibes.

[@glitterroach]

@saulemaroussault6343 no ER is known for using AI and their newest artist are 'artist' specialized in AI art. And at this point, the usage of AI art is less problematic thing about the brand.

[@candyce6233]

Owner has admitted to using AI on Insta

[@EdgyEspresso]

Is this what’s wrong with it?! I’ve could t figure it out.

[@MerlijnTouretta]

In all honesty: I have it and didn’t even see that 😂 you might be right now I look at it (also not thought about it as a nice packaging, didn’t even notice what was on it AT ALL haha). Do love the palette!

[@taigahilliard619]

If Denessa Myricks comes out with the same packaging in a neutral palette, I will run to buy it.

[@BEAUTYNEWS]

✋✋ us too!

[@RoKer13]

See colors are in my soul, I bought this palette never owning any of her stuff before and I will be loyal now lol But this palette in warm neutrals I would also buy in a heartbeat lol

[@courtneypaige18]

Waiting & hoping for this!🤞🏻

[@fattychoccie]

YES YES YESSSSS x a million.

[@delta13-98]

@@RoKer13 Same! I'd never bought her stuff before but the colors and the fact I hadn't bought any makeup this year pushed me over the edge. I need this palette in colorful mattes but I actually liked the formula. (The flaky ones work much better with fingers though.)

[@riar.s.2615]

Hailey's hairstyle really suits you, also love Kat's eyeshadow colors 💕

[@madiywarner4651]

I came to say the same!!

[@KiahLou]

Thank you for bringing this back! Listening to you two unabashedly roasting beauty brands made my night!

[@lisayates6729]

Hi ladies Lisa Eldridge took 5 years to make and design the refillable lipstick packaging. It is 100% aluminium and can be completely recycled zero plastics in it - that’s impressive

[@cwynn1547]

The problem is, it can't be recycled because small items get caught in the sorting machinery. My recycler here won't take smaller than cans.

[@melissaz6778]

​@@cwynn1547Lisa said the way around that is to wrap it in aluminium foil to make it a little bigger

[@hebsta1314]

@@cwynn1547she addressed this in her video. You wrap it up in foil so the size is about golf ball sized so it is properly processed at the recycling facility. It is good to know this is an issue so that we can take steps to ensure as much of the waste from our consumption which can be recycling is ultimately recycled.

[@hebsta1314]

@@cwynn1547or you can pop the empty refill part inside a can to ensure it gets recycled

[@anglerfish4161]

But then, how much aluminum foil do you need to make your case that big? That's incredibly wasteful.

[@jow8230]

The return of the shame bell 🔔 😂

[@BEAUTYNEWS]

Beauty News is finally officially back 🔔

[@annamadnoseeeee]

As a darker skinned woman, I love the Danessa Myricks palette and how the colours show up on me!! My parents got it for me for Christmas and I'm so so so excited to use it!!!!!

[@hollythornell5262]

Ensley Reign palettes have such pretty shadows but I hate their stupid AI artwork

[@thespottedleaf584]

And transphobic following

[@KassMcCormack]

And their recent transphobia! So glad I never bought any of their palettes!

[@recordtapesbackward]

@@KassMcCormack"recently discovered" you mean! afaik this has been going on for a while

[@KassMcCormack]

@ yeah! Plus their anti-vaxx stuff and liking posts from RFK Jr! It’s almost like they’re playing Shit Take Bingo!

[@sirmietz6340]

Danessa Myricks Palette had the most innovative packaging

[@cyber8658]

Literally like that packaging is one of the most exciting things I’ve seen in makeup for years!!

[@angyeliz]

I agree and I absolutely love the shadows within it as well.

[@rabbiroz3806]

The Jelly Tint has been a K or C Beauty item for years. And I do think the recyclability of the Lisa Eldridge lipstick packaging was unique too.

[@Oryx7000]

Both of your looks from makeup to hair to styling are 🔥🔥! Thanks for doing this theme again!

[@leaslesesessel]

Wow! Hailey you look STUNNING with the hair color & Styling. 😍

[@taranullius9221]

My favourite trend of 2024 was watching so many people twist themselves into knots going after Revolution or MCoBeauty while simultaneously saying ELF is completely different 'cos they change the packaging a little bit more.

[@taranullius9221]

The all important packaging! Even though they were the first to rip off Charlotte Tilbury...but the packaging was a bit different folks!

[@tomjones2157]

😂

[@herefortheshrimp1469]

Not gonna lie…I’m really annoyed at whoever nominated or voted for the darker lip liner/lighter lipstick to be the “worst trend”. Thank you for mentioning that 1) it’s not a trend - it’s a technique that’s been around for ages and 2) it’s a GREAT technique for women with deeper skin to make lipstick look even better. Unless it’s not blended - I don’t understand why anyone would have an issue with it 🤨

[@EdgyEspresso]

It’s also just apart of the culture! That was a statement fashion moment in the 80’s/90’s. It’s fond memory to me.

[@roxypaquette9501]

I would say when it’s not blended is what deserves to be nominated. The harsh, dark lip line from the 90’s is not a good look.

[@cougarlips]

i was thinking - the "trend" aspect of it kinda reminds me of the drag makeup "trend" a few years ago, when super matte bases and heavy powder became so popular. it started out in the drag and theater communities and had real, genuine purpose because under harsh spotlights and from a distance you NEED that heavy contrast and uber matte makeup for the audience to read it correctly. then it got warped and twisted by beauty influencers until it ultimately became one of the most hated trends, when in reality it just wasn't suited for the audience that made it mainstream and then overused and abused it, you know? but i feel like it's similar with the dark lip liner + nude lip trend, where it began as a way for people of deeper skin tones to wear colors that ordinarily wouldn't suit them, but now we have people of lighter skin tones doing the same thing and it just seems excessive to us. i'm not saying i dislike the trend, because i don't! but it feels very similar to the heavy/matte drag makeup of 2016 lol (didnt mean for the comment to be so long! sorry 😅)

[@lisanadile4688]

MOB beauty was founded by a MAC chemist. It’s known for minimalist packaging, high quality pigments, and duping vintage MAC colors. Also, they collab with more alternative (grungy) MUAs. Really great products. I guess you could say they are the Alternative/Goth music version of MAC. They have a build your own palette approach and biodegradable packaging.

[@katherinerowlands7527]

That new dried blood lippie of theirs looks absolutely gorgeous

[@lisanadile4688]

@ Yes! I really like their lip formulas.

[@tabasla]

Thank god I didn’t hear anything about James Charles this year

[@fattychoccie]

The 'worst of' categories are my favourite 😂 you ladies do this so well, I used to look forward to this video every year! Im sooooo glad you're back, bringing a slice of sanity to the beauty community (sorry everyone, i hate TikTok lol) love you guys!! ❤❤❤❤

[@MidnightMajesty]

yikes ensley reign

[@MichelleC1974]

Definitely not a brand I could support now, sad😢

[@cyber8658]

Yay this was so fun!! Thank you both for coming back to bless us with Beauty News again!!

[@MerlijnTouretta]

I vote for beautynews returning as the highlight of the year 🎉 enjoying it so much! ps: you both look fantastic. Greetings from the Netherlands!

[@BEAUTYNEWS]

😘

[@katherinerowlands7527]

Agree entirely. It's great to have them back 🎉

[@PanPanPanit]

The DM Lightwork palette is marked on Beautylish as "Returning Soon" Good thing they can read the room. XD

[@jasmine.lavender]

I’d love to see some skincare, hair products, and nail polish categories next year!

[@melissaz6778]

I second that. If we could have mentioned skincare, I would have had an easier time thinking of nominations lol

[@notaninfluencer4882]

You both look so pretty and Hailey’s hair is the best surprise of the year!!

[@ellac89]

as a proud owner of light work 6. I can vouch for these votes. It it truly the best pallet I own. It has leveled up my makeup in the easiest way. The dimension and versatility of the shadows makes my everyday makeup fun and unique while still being professional for my office. not to mention the packaging is 10,000% amazing. I travel a lot and brought it with me on every trip.

[@BEAUTYNEWS]

That’s fantastic! I’m glad it lives up to the hype ❤️

[@gertrudeviksna5916]

Same, I also bought the palette and am really happy with it. It is also my first multichrome shadow palette, so I was specially happy about the fact, that it doesnt have any matts, since I already have those in other palettes, and they would've cheapened the palette for me.

[@annamadnoseeeee]

I am so excited to bring it on every trip!!!

[@TheJollyFatElf]

I think the Danessa palette was more mainstream and that may be why it won twice. My husband watched hockey and ELF literally advertises on the boards.

[@kagesome]

Yay, Beauty News Awards! 🎉 I'd love if you two did a trend prediction / reaction video for the new year

[@Artasun]

@kat, I adore your eyeshadow look 😍 what palette? Will you be doing a how-to with it? It's fire 🔥 you both look flawless 😍😍🥰

[@RachieRach77]

Thank you for deciding to do the BN awards, loved it, best wishes to you both and your families for the new year 😊❤

[@ellak24]

omg Hailey your hair looks so beautiful!

[@wendydunn3964]

Kat! Those earrings! Gorgeous. 😍

[@littleflick]

Using that awful corpse paint pic for elf was such a dig and I love it lol

[@BEAUTYNEWS]

🤣

[@melbygrace]

I agree on the worst to me. How can you not rest products or not fulfill orders? Patrick Ta is up there too with mold and not addressing it at all. Repurposing packaging is mostly fine.

[@bitsnbags]

Cat, your eye look is stunning!! I'd love to see a tutorial of it pls!! 😍

[@TracyD2]

Looking 60s to me and I’m inspired

[@bitsnbags]

@TracyD2 me too!

[@Moviegirl991]

Loving the new hair Hayley it really suits you ❤

[@hollythornell5262]

You said Pucci correctly. They are a fashion house known for those geometric psychedelic type prints

[@Technodoki]

11:50 I RAN and bought the DM Lightwork 6 palette when it was on preorder. I am OBSESSED with it. I use it almost everyday. But I don’t use matte eyeshadows anymore because I have really oily lids and my eyes just eat matte eyeshadows. It has some amazing highlight shade. The shade Dance looks boring, but it creates the most perfect wet looking eye. I always get compliments when I wear it. Lately all I’ve been doing is putting one of the beautiful shimmers in the inner crease. I use the shade unapologetic to deepen my outer corner. And I have a pretty causal sparkly look!

[@CensuradaPorBoleta]

SECONDED! Danessa Myricks and that palette deserve all the accolades. I don’t even care about the packaging because I don’t travel with mine but even I can recognize that it’s innovative and probably very practical for people who do their makeup on the run or makeup artists. The eyeshadows are ELITE, the quality is out of this world (superior to Pat McGrath’s shimmers) the color story is so beautiful. The looks you can create with it are so interesting, I have never gotten more compliments than what I get every. single. time. I use it. The Lightwork V is also incredible and while it makes me sad I missed out on the previous ones, it excites me for whatever Danessa has planned for future releases. Side note: the Groundwork palettes are also innovative and excellent if you prefer mattes and like to play with textures (pomades).

[@taigahilliard619]

I like your new hair color, it really pops on you You both look beautiful

[@FlameMirage]

Thank you Kat and Hayley ❤ have a fabulous and restful holiday period! Look forward to the Mco video next year 😂

[@Cascadeis]

I'm not that deep into the makeup world right now, but I did vote in some of the cathegories, and I apparently have the same opinion as most people lol. About KVD, I checked and they're still in store in the biggest beauty chain in my country (not Sephora) so I guess they still have a pretty big following!

[@sghettinona]

So glad you decided to do this!! Good to see you both. Wishing you All the Best in 2025!! ✨

[@RachieRach77]

Thanks

[@BEAUTYNEWS]

Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️

[@tdsollog]

I have 3 ER palettes, and now I “can’t” bring myself to use them because of the drama. Ugh.

[@WolffBlurr]

The money is spent and you already have the product, so maybe you can depot the shadows into a magnetic palette so you can use the shadows without the brand association? Once you’re out and about no one else knows what’s on your eyes

[@laurapirate]

You girls crack me up!😂 Hope ye had a good Xmas and have a great new yr!

[@yensid4294]

That haircolor looks amazing on you Hailey 👍 I couldn't really vote on anything because I haven't bought any new makeup/tried any new products in a few years. Just been replacing mascara, concealer & brow products as needed when they run out. I see a lot of very pretty things but I really don't need more makeup atm.

[@Silviaexcuchuflus]

Thanks for the laughs, this was a fun video!!! Happy New Year for both 😘😘😘

[@ericajaye666]

elf's liquid death was the tip marketing for me!

[@maryarmstrong2231]

Y’all are my people. Happy holidays guys❤

[@melbygrace]

I love a lot of these categories. Businesses going out and worst brands are so spot on.

[@silkbuttons]

That new hair colour girl! Suits you so much. 90s vibe

[@Yolanda8419]

Merry Christmas to you both. You looked so beautiful, both of you. May you have the best holidays and always be happy and healthy. You and your families.

[@TSfan90]

I'm always so surprised that Jeffree Star still has a brand. All the scandals. Weirdo behavior in general. Poor quality makeup. Like who is still buying this stuff? It has to be people far out of the makeup world, who just don't care about the person behind the brand, but are just used to using his makeup. I think it's time he just closes his brand, and moves on with his life. I'm also more surprised no one said Ofra for one of these categories at least. I can figure Ofra is on their way out for sure in the next year, or two.

[@NataliaPessoaXOXOMAKE]

His brand is popular here in Europe. Most people don’t know about the scandals

[@TheMelegence]

Cover fx has everything on super sale and I haven’t seen any restock, I think they will close in 2025

[@melbygrace]

Blake’s brand is def a PR issue but ND is such a cringe too. PT with every post he has made this year. UGH. so bad.

[@nctr3791]

well, I know I underconsumed, at least some, because I went from Rouge to VIB... :)

[@GMW.artist]

We have collectively cancelled Ensley Reign. AWFUL company. 😒

[@tomjones2157]

Dark lip liner is pretty sometimes! Hate brands frequently changing refillable systems. Guerlain just did it to their pricey mirrored lipsticks. 😭 Went to buy refills and assistant told me to toss my pretty cases and buy new ones 😖

[@RoKer13]

Me literally wearing the Danessa palette on my eyes right now. The pigment in that palette alone made me feel like how I did when I first started using makeup more in 2016. Like I fell in love with makeup again, that's how good it is. It made me realize I still love colorful eyeshadow, it's just so many palettes are BORING unless it's from an Indie brand lol Lethal did so good with the Avatar collection, I bought some stuff from that and Twilight and the quality doesn't compare.

[@TracyD2]

The audacity of Sephora. People are just numbers to these companies.

[@ashstelladavo]

I've missed the shame bell 😂

[@tiiti2003]

My favorite yearend tradition! Thank you for being back. And on a separate note, Lisa Eldridge did a lot of good work this year. I’ve basically been using two of her lipsticks exclusively the whole year.

[@jackieturner4144]

hay ladies hope you both had a loverly Christmas with your families happy new year to you both see you in 2025

[@TrinaMadeIt]

That Jelly bush was polarising!!!

[@30plusandpretty]

So glad this is back! You gals crack me up

[@mirandajj18]

Would love your own “winners” for these categories!

[@beth7380]

Hope you both had a lovely holiday season. love the beauty news awards every year. I've not really kept up with new releases this year, but you know these brands are bad when you could make a drinking game out of "they're still a thing?" Wishing you both a happy new year, very much looking forward to your individual project pans and seeing what you do on beauty news next year.

[@NightmareExplorer]

I think people who voted for Patrick Ta haven't tried those shadows. I bought all those duos and I absolutely love them!

[@sharonshade4437]

Fun episode. Made me laugh at some of these nominees!

[@Nys1108]

I feel like Mecca should have been on the list for worst marketing. That 50c cost per wear crap was ridiculous

[@tomjones2157]

I hate Mecca's marketing.

[@freyaporter99]

Fwee was robbed for most unique release damnit 😭 Genuinely that formula is unlike anything I've used before, it almost airbrushes my cheeks so much so that I have to apply a little over my nose or it looks like I photoshopped the sides of my face and forgot the rest 😅

[@NataliaLavrovaBeauty]

Love that you brought this back!!!! For most overhyped, I agree with all and I think the Patrick Pa won because it was the most recent and expensive of the lot. 😅

[@Mieczyslaw_Mason]

Have you tried using hand sanitiser to get the jelly tint out of your table? Hand sanitiser even gets 'encre de chine' out of my table when I do calligraphy and stuff.

[@nightxnight]

Danessa deserves it. So many brands are safe and regurgitating the same crap. At least she’s trying new things.

[@Kinnels]

Haha to the shame bell 😂

[@callysto11]

Happy New Year, everyone 🎉

[@aurore7554]

I am surprised there are so few votes. You have such a big audience. I watch all your videos and somehow I missed the announcement for the votes. It is please possible for next year to promote your Awards more on KZbin to give more people the chance to participate and potentially collect more responses?

[@BEAUTYNEWS]

It was a last minute decision made during a live chat. Next year we’ll plan and announce it better ❤️

[@mst3kanita]

next time sephora got that 20% sale, I need to get the DM palette ugh, elf, I can't stand their copycatting. Violet Voss did make one of my favorite palettes, the sugar crystals one. Although that was like, five years ago.

[@shax123100]

Classy ladies 🎉🎉🎉

[@michellej5616]

The brunette looks great on you, Hailey

[@palomitaflamenkita]

3:12 Yeah, underconsumption has been around for a while now, but I think it's the fact that the cost of living has raised up so blatantly around the world, no matter what country we live in, after the pandemic, that the "trend" has hit harder on social media with more people being willing/forced to financially to adopt it. Also, more global warming, levels of plastic in landfills and water pollition awareness (I hope at least).

[@emiliemartz383]

ELF completely ripped off my friends’ art school thesis video for a marketing campaign that went viral, and it was so heartbreaking.

[@lorainemcgillivray77]

Hi ladies as an ultra pale cool toned person the lavender ysl blush is really pretty on me. Now it's never going to be for everyone and the marketing was a complete shambles but I like the product. Best wishes x

[@gilded_lady]

I feel like I'm an outlier in that I dislike DM shimmer formers- I find the base shimmers too thick and for the price I can get better multichromes from indies. Longing is my personal pick for the year. I'm a very cool toned gal and its my new daily driver palette.

[@mentalalchemysubliminals]

Been watching this award show since the Kuckian Cosmetics days.

[@Emma-Ghanima]

Oh i missed the votes ! But so happy to see the beauty awards back !

[@rabbiroz3806]

Hard to compare the collabs because some are huge collections and others just a palette and highlighter. I actually loved every single one of them with Twilight being my least favorite. Great video. You did an AMAZING job with the nominees! They are all outstanding products! I’d happily participate next year!

[@layne3530]

idk what youtube did but i cant see community posts unless i go to the channel's page, then their specific community tab. thats just not possible to keep up with for every sub. I wish they would make it show on the homepage or a tab somewhere to see every subs community tabs again. it literally used to be a feature!

[@notaninfluencer4882]

Violet Voss is still around?

[@BEAUTYNEWS]

Yes! Apparently they rereleased a palette recently 🤣

[@Formiga_c]

We still have KVD here in Portugal, but I don't see anyone buying it. But then again, we are the last ones to get anything, and all trash makeup ends up here. Thank you for an amazing year!
