BEST OF THE BEST MAKEUP OF 2023 (literally everything)

[@baileydubs]

I’ve said this so many times in your comments, but as I don’t buy luxury makeup, it is indeed your chaos and personality that keeps me coming back for every. single. upload ❤

[@srkra_]

Same!

[@cactojuice]

Literally me too

[@amylage4054]

Me toooo

[@thezaftigwendy]

It's also that gorgeous f*king backdrop!

[@Beautyonthebrain_]

Kackie, witnessing your level of feral chaos has given me permission to enter my feral chaos goblin era & I am so much happier. I've stopped caring about people's expectations or opinions, the only ones who truly matter are my cats. Thank you for a year of inspiring, aspirational, unhinged content.

[@kackie]

THIS IS EVERYTHING. Omg to have this impact. I am so humbled.

[@KAIMAOFFICIAL]

I’ve been stuck at home in bed most of this year due to my disabilities, and I genuinely mean this with all of my heart when I say yours and Tom’s content, and the podcast have been a huge part of my happiness and wellbeing this year. You’re exactly right - your exact brand of chaos and who you are has just made me feel not only so entertained, but seen, and validated as well, and encouraged me that it’s not only ok to be myself, but that it’s a wonderful thing too. I really am so grateful to you and Tom. And I hope you have a wonderful holiday time and that we both can rebirth soon.. very, very soon lol. Thankyou for showing up, even when it was probably so hard, and thankyou for not showing up and taking that time for yourself, because that’s the most important thing. Sending love and hugs from the uk ❤️

[@ZijnShayatanica]

Another disabled person here, having had a very rough health year [mental AND physical, mostly physical]... And I agree that Kackie & Tom have been a very welcome presence. Also Cam from CloveRoom, Theresa is Dead, & rewatching all of Nisipisa's videos. I've sorely needed the overlap of chaotic energy & beauty/self-care content, lolol

[@samanthaoliver6653]

I died when Kackie guessed charlotte tilbury’s sign based on her chaotic creation of the pillow talk collection and no cohesiveness in the color. 🤣🤣🤣 astrology science

[@kackie]

🤣🤣

[@jackiaddington5186]

It's YOU that keeps me coming back to every single upload... and binge on the previous videos!!! The makeup is just a bonus!!! Love ya!! ❤

[@hellomrsjackson6762]

This is your BEST “best of the year” yet! I NEEDED this energy !! ❤🎉

[@kackie]

Thank you!!!

[@greenishbeauty6639]

You, Tom and Michelle Wang are hands down my favorite people on the interwebs. We love you back Kackie!!!! Here's to a brilliant 2024! 🍾

[@SoniaStein]

Literally watched this while at the airport and it made me walk up to the Hermes beauty counter and buy one of those tinted lip balms. Thanks for ur energy it feels equally comforting as it is chaotic 💜

[@meganjohnson2246]

My hero makeups this year include Phyto's Crystal Constellation, Merit's lipstick in Tiger, and VBB Satin Eye Kajals. I had no idea eyeliner could be so easy and good. I can't afford much luxury, but I'm glad I've been here for the chaos, satisfied smirks, shit-talking, honesty, encyclopedic brain, and ART MATH since 2020. Cheers to you!

[@annikatribby5717]

Second time I've heard great reviews for VBB eyeliner today ! Have to look into this

[@ZijnShayatanica]

I'm definitely intrigued by the VBB eyeliners!! However, Cam [CloveRoom] mentioned they don't totally get to a budge-proof state, so... Maybe not for my watery eyes! But they look so gooooood.

[@DolceSuono9]

I’m so ill, but this really made me laugh 😆. Especially around the Tom Ford lip oil ☠️. Girl, I would never, but that packaging… I hear you!

[@yamilletrivas8041]

I do not say the funny stuff, but I love my chaotic Kackie always! Really looking forward to our collective magical rebirth of 2024 ✨

[@kackie]

🥰🥰🥰

[@andreapoulieva6717]

Aaah, this is the best, thank you Kackie ! I'm officially on holiday break from work until January, I dropped my kiddos at school and now I have a totally blissfull hour of Kackie favorites - I couldn't be happier ❤

I saw today that sephora just dropped the Prada beauty line and thought about you!! ❤

[@emmafoley8987]

I love roundup season! Also: anybody else watching this while home sick?

[@ninahartley1983]

I love the VB cinnamon eyeliner! It’s fun to use and it’s beautiful.

[@bejkaberecz8958]

“In a world where Pillow Talk and Dolce Vita don’t mean anything” is such a mood

[@melissakessler77]

Excited for this roundup! Just want to give a shout-out to the Finding Ferdinand mascara that is the best I’ve tried in years!!! Never would have discovered it had it not been for the delay in the Summer Abroad blush shipment (totally worth the wait!). They graciously sent the mascara for free, and now I will definitely repurchase! Superb tubing formula - love it!!!

[@liftbakelove]

Can confirm Prunoir is PERFECT on olive skin, and I love it, and I'm so happy I bought it (did I buy a bunch of other things talked about in this video this year? yes! is this one the most expensive and the one I feel like have to justify the most? also yes! I have no regrets!)

[@melissa.deklerk]

I'm loving the energy of this video. This is one of the first of your videos I've seen. And I'm going to dive into the archives. Rebirth is definitely the word/vibe/energy I'm taking through the holidays and into 2024. Also subscribed 🎉

[@kackie]

Lovely to have you! 🥰

Oh my goodness! Don't dare stop making videos! I love chaos ! Of course, I perform my best in it!🙃✌🏽💯

[@luisacarneiro9367]

I love your taste in makeup and I adore your energy - thanks 2023 for all the lessons. 2024 we are ready!

[@soulchild05]

You accurately guessing Charlotte Tilbury as an air sign was hilarious because same 😂♒️

[@21mariae]

As a fellow Aries, I totally relate to your personality and sense of humour! The only thing we disagree on is the Givenchy concealer, I ended up giving it away. That Tower 28 though…bingo! Merry Christmas, keep rocking 💖

[@sharondodge1743]

Thanks!

[@shanaaaviva]

After watching this video I managed to drop my whole drawer of single eyeshadows resulting in the Sephora one popping out of its cheap packaging but then took your advice and popped it into my magnetic singles palette!

[@jennys_wonderland]

👋🏻 Which of the two Dior singles that you have is more warm?

[@joywind8922]

Love your list of favorites for 2023. I totally agree about the wavy Charmin toilet paper lines. Genius

[@simplysona]

Really happy you are now enjoying the DreamSticks. :)) yay!!

[@kackie]

🥰🥰🥰

[@baileydubs]

IT’S HAPPENING!!!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩

[@Lighthouse1852]

Few products live up to the hype. It's so much fun when they do. This year I finally tried the Givenchy Prisme powder which proved fundamentally different from others I've tried. Frustrating packaging aside, it's perfect. The shade Voile Rose down the T-zone turns a tinted mineral sunscreen (Undefined R&R, which by itself was too shiny and yellow for me) into a good daytime look. Skin color and texture are noticeably better. Thanks for the roundup!

[@holleyirl]

You talked me into the Prada foundation and that beige blush from Armani :) Love the chaos!

[@marsha2703]

Which number Armani blush is the beige blush color? I can't find it on the website.

[@mymagicemily]

I'm so so so so stupidly happy about the Chanel blush. I can't wait to give myself mauve face. Thank you for posting the Gilt link!

[@zivprof]

Yes I loved this!!! Rebirth is something I'm down with 100%

[@PersonaCosmetics]

So thrilled that you love Guava + Mojave! 🥰✨

[@kackie]

They're so good!

[@beatdizzy]

Love all my Ana Luisa stuff and gifted a bunch this year too.

[@melissa.deklerk]

The Prada foundation story had me crying laughing. Absolutely horrible experience you and Tom had, Kackie. Absolutely unacceptable from any company, never mind a luxury beauty house. The best way to get a company to wake up is to dispute the credit card charge.

[@ninahartley1983]

I have the Chanel baume in sculpting. It is very nice. Gives a hint of glow and is very balmy.

[@ShellLise]

Love your approach Kackie - love your intelligence and your fun😁

[@kackie]

Thank you!!

[@Henou55]

Yaay Kackie's yearly best of the best 💃😊

[@PatriciaBurns-ym4wo]

Oh, how I love my Chanel highlighters! So true Kackie ...they = Youth... Wishing you Happy Holidays...🎁

[@Himmiefan]

I love the YSL Candy Glaze in Sweet Pink. It feels so good on the lips and can calm down a lip color that might be a bit strong. I do wish, though, that YSL expands the color range because Sweet Pink is the only one that works on my very pale skin.

[@marshawilliamson8602]

Happy New Year, Kackie!❤❤❤🌸🐝

[@reformingbeauty]

Victoria Beckham is my brand of the year. Love everything I've gotten from her.

[@KristinaMorrison]

What’s your favourite if you don’t mind me asking? I really want to try but am just curious from a non-influencer take what the best product to try first is?

[@pamallen7534]

@@KristinaMorrisonim not the original poster, but I LOVE the VBB lip gloss! Truly the best lipgloss formula!

[@marina56]

[@jileanong2842]

Love the video which was not only informative but just overall so much fun to watch and listen to. I laughed along with you and especially with enjoyed your sharing of your horrible customer service experience with Prada Beauty. Happy holidays and looking forward to your upcoming declutter videos.

[@biogirl1381]

i fkn loveeeed this video!!! i truly appreciate your kinda energy and chaos!!! ysl was the true vip, and rebirth couldn’t be a better word for 2024. 🥰🥰🥰

[@starrypunk20]

I feel like that Ciele foundation was the best best BEST release of 2023. So many mixed reviews, I almost didn't buy it. Holy smokes Im so glad I did. May be the best foundation Ive ever used.

Down for a rebirth & that YSL Candy Glaze ❤

YESSS KACKIE IM SO EXCITED❤

[@sarahdumais5998]

The “you’re welcome” on the visual of you smacking on the Charlotte Tilbury blush 😂.

[@k.nelson9043]

The Prada foundation saga I know was completely frustrating but I howl laughing every time you tell it - especially the label that says “threw it in the creek” LMAO I ordered some pens (I’m a snob about my sketching) from the UK like April 2020 during COVID chaos and they never showed. Company was nice and refunded me and expedited me a new pack - I shit you not, NOVEMBER 2020 a package shows up in my mail that I can only describe as having lived in the back of a trash compactor at USPS for the past 6 months and then sent through a paper shredder on one side. That said the pens are great 😂

[@thejulietocean]

Prunoir is my favorite purchase of the year 😎 aghhhhhh it’s just good

[@thejulietocean]

Also agree I have a huge kink for stupid. Luxury beauty just gets to me.

[@annem8126]

Thank you for such a great EOY list! I've run through/adored the Chantecaille Future Skin foundation...making me a convert to luxury foundations. I pulled the trig on Prada through Selfriges after hearing you endorse. Hope it loves my 55+ skin! I put all your recos into a spready on my phone for easy access. Thank you again, Kackie! Happy Holidays!

[@alness4143]

Hi, I really loved this bronze Bobbi brown color, I know it is a never ending quest for THE perfect color, formula, but I will keep it in mind in case my local Sephora has a sale in January. I agree it looks perfect, like antic gold, not too black based, not too warm. May I ask what duo it is? Seems like Last Dance but I want to be sure as there is an other gold/bronze + brown and I don't trust online pictures, who does?! My favorites for the year include the autumn Chanel blushes, they are soooo good. And Stora Dolls from YSL is discret and elegant. Thank for the energy, it is so communicative! I am now half dead due to a stupid violent cold and a weak immune system so this energy was soooo welcomed!

[@alness4143]

Went on Bobbi Brown website, it is Last Dance for sure, it was clearer on the brand website. Sorry

[@dinahansen6556]

Sorry to complain, but it seems like a bunch group of products at about the midpoint are missing from the product description. I was interested in the shade names. Starting right after the Sephora eyeshadow, i.e. Prada foundation, your blush collab, the Tower concealer, Hermes lipstick, Tom Ford lip oil, Phytosurgence,... up to the Ciate primer. Possible to.cut & paste them in?

[@hbarlaam]

Great picks. Commenting in hopes that someone can recommend a "dupe" for the YSL Beige Trench lipstick (it has an ingredient I'm allergic to).

[@tedoymisojos]

I like the Tower 28 concealer applied with a sponge, any other way it looks textured on me. Id choose the Natasha Denona concealer over it any day though. Its just better packaging wise, shade range wise, longevity wise, doesnt settle as much, etc
