THE *WORST* MAKEUP OF 2021

Winners are Mackenzie A, Katelyn N and Courtney A!

[@erinhoyt1671]

The “worst” videos are just as helpful as the “best” videos so thank you for this! We definitely have the same taste in mascara so thank you for trying the bad ones I would have been tempted to buy - lol.

[@makeupdatewithjacki8959]

I'm sitting here laughing remembering some of those videos you're talking about!! 😂 You're hilarious and I just thinking you're amazing Sam! Merry Christmas sunshine.....I hope you have a peaceful and happy and a hope filled day!! I'm excited to see all of the cool directions life will take you in 2022!! #SamSquad 💕🤗🌲

[@pamelahewlett1750]

Unfortunately I don't like the elf putty or cream products either which is a shame since the colors are very nice 🧡

[@laurasutton8230]

The worst videos are so helpful in helping us to save our money. The best of videos allow us to spend the money saved on the best products!🤔 Aries is such a sweetheart. #SamSquad

[@loribethbriscoe1357]

The Bite beauty mascara has been the best of makeup category for me.

[@amysmithssportsandmakeup1397]

It’s funny how polarizing mascaras are. I love the Essence lash princess but wasn’t at all impressed with the Rare beauty one. Different strokes for different folks! #santasam #samsquad

[@gategirl66]

Definitely agree! That Maybelline Sky High made me look like I had 6 eyelashes.. people tell me I look like I'm wearing fake eyelashes with the green Essence..lol.. go fugure!

[@thebrazenblender7201]

I love how transparent you are with us about the OOTD 😅😅😅😅 I agree with you on all these products. They just didn't work for me either. I hope yesterday was a breathe of fresh air for you. Just know the #SamSquad loves you very much. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@tinabladen3463]

Dermablend original foundation was developed with dermatologists, specifically for patients such as Cancer patients who are treatments that gives facial rashes. It’s actually a special product to me because my mums oncologist recommended it to her during her treatment for terminal lung cancer. Along with her wig from Chemo, the Dermablend foundation covered a pretty horrendous rash and gave her so much confidence back at a really rough time. Yes it does look heavy, but in a way, it’s actually supposed to because otherwise it just wouldn’t cover what it needs to for those patients. I do agree, it’s no an everyday foundation for the majority of people though, it’s a specialist product for a specific purpose. X

[@Stup_efied]

I do not like most mascaras, but the Bite Beauty Upswing is great. It is so interesting how products can work so differently for different people. I do also love the Maybelline Sky High which I know you enjoy. I will have to try the Rare Beauty mascara that you love.

[@tammyrobinson7040]

We are definitely mascara twins. I SO agree on the essence mascaras. They either don't do anything for me or smudge in like 30 minutes flat. 😠I WANT to love them but I gave up. Passed them on to my mom and they're her new favorites. 🤷‍♀️

[@LCx829]

I’ve heard a few people including Teresa is Dead that the tatcha powder is horrible.

[@kerriwright4593]

I love how the essence lash princess looks when I first apply it but it flakes all over my face and it dries out in the tube faster than any mascara I've ever had.

[@mollymcareavey6009]

I feel the same way about essence mascaras. I feel so validated now!

[@crystalriner6637]

I was so so surprised that the stilla mascara was so fat the best mascara I have used in a while. I have used every, and I mean just about every mascara on the market. I have blonde eyelashes. This mascara makes my eyelashes look so long, and thick. It by far is the best I’ve used in a long time. I thought nothing could beat my thrive or my bad girl bang, but this blew it away. It does have the bigger fluffy brush, but I’m truly in love. It’s really worth a try!!!!!!!♥️

[@kaylag88]

I agree with you about the Elf putty bronzer, everyone seems to love it but I just can't get it to work for me! I love the Nudestix and Milk ones way more 😋

[@loridoyle3068]

@Kayla Gunderson are you related to Ted Gunderson? He is one of my hero's is why I ask.

[@rachelapalmieri]

I totally agree with you with the Essence mascaras! They just don’t work out for me, they flake like crazy on me… I really want to like them! 😫

[@jennifershank5622]

I too, just don't understand all the hype about the GREEN lash princess mascara lol...now, the purple one is my jam. It's also a lash princess. The green one can take a hike haha but I also understand that everyone has different lashes too. 😘🎄🌟♥️

[@carolynnettles3767]

Ok I’m not going to lie, I sometimes live for these videos. I somewhat keep a running list in my mind of products that were total fails for me and kind of wait to see what all is accumulated by the end of the year. I get a kick out of it because sometimes stuff happens that’s just funny. Sending love and hugs for your holiday season. You always have your squad with you in spirit!

[@PerkiPerkins]

Wow the benefit mascara is gorgeous on my lashes and doesn’t transfer on me. I do have the issue if I don’t allow it to dry down before I start blinking. But the Florence line I’ve never been impressed it’s totally for kids /teens that might not be big into makeup. My 14 yr didn’t even like the line because she get acne and doesn’t work well unless you have “perfect skin” which sucks. I still want to try the elf bronzers! I also heard mix reviews and my more mature skin friends love it.

[@kerriwright4593]

The dermablend isn't a skin tint. I believe it's a full coverage cc cream. I believe the C C is for complete coverage or continuous coverage, I can't remember which one but it's marketed as full coverage

[@loridoyle3068]

Three products I need is Bare Minerals original foundation, BM bareskin concealer and Thrive liquid lash extensions mascara. I have been into Indy shadows. I got an Indy shadow pallet and it was awful. If you haven't try Terra Moon multichromes and Duochromes. Next level shift sparkle and shine.

[@dannielleillig7683]

Spending $62 for that Tatcha powder makes me sick. It is in my drawer mocking me! I saw reviews where people were complaining about the glitter and I bought it anyway🤡 It figures they come out with a mini way later! Time to give it away. I didn’t like the Lash freak mascara …the wand annoyed the crap out of me.

[@Kimbyroseh]

lol, yep I’m one of those who recommends the bite beauty upswing, it’s one of my new favorites! That one, lash freak, and rare beauty. I’ll have to try the lawless mascara one of these days. The bite beauty doesn’t transfer for me but that could be a difference in eye/face shape maybe.

[@marie-evegoulet3229]

It’s so funny to me, my lashes are the opposite of yours, some mascaras you love just don’t work for me and that bite is great. It’s so interesting to see how we all find out what we needs and what works or not. Love the video, that makeup look so good, your eyes look stunning! 💜

[@mguilles]

You're not the only one that say the Tatcha loose powder make them look older, which is really surprising. Thanks for the video 😍

[@VV-jb4cs]

Omg why do I feel like I saw your reviews for these like 3 years ago lol. How do these years feel so loooong but also so incredibly short. I love thinking about the concept of time lol anyway love ya Sam!!! HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO YOU AND QUEEN ARIES ✨💛✨

[@kerriwright4593]

I hated the Neutrogena spray too! It made my face sticky af. I love the dermablend cc

[@kelleyd8958]

I agree with the bite mascara, it did the same thing to me. What’s your favorite mascara for no transfer??

[@jackiec9923]

Essence mascaras.... THANK YOU. Lash Princess is fine but nothing to write home about. So overly hyped up. Glad I'm not the only one who feels this way.

[@jmadams07]

Amen! I don’t understand the essence mascaras craze! They don’t “wow” me like the rest of the world…

[@brooke3140]

I still really love the lash paradise BUT I hate how hard it is to get off. I need that in a washable formula so I'm not ripping out my lashes

[@Marie0706]

I am glad that I am not the only one that has not found an Essence mascara that works for me.

[@karenphipps7532]

Merry Christmas 🎄 Love your videos! Tried Fenty mascara and pitched it after it flacked off before I was finished with my makeup!

[@JulieNick28]

I love learning what to buy but really love what NOT to buy! Thank you #SantaSam for looking out for us!

[@florl9194]

I love trying new mascara and I was so excited when Bite came out with one and even more when they came out with a mini. I was seeing a lot of the reviews being lukewarm to negative so I was prepared to have issues with it. I have oily eyelids and most favorite mascaras I've tried have been a disappointment. The essence mascaras smudge so badly on me, hated the better than sex mascara (in less than three hours I had smudging and it was flaking badly on me), the It cosmetics clumped and smudged. I love the hourglass, but the past few times it dried too quickly and it started flaking in less than two months on me so I needed something new. It was a long day at work the first time I tried the Bite mascara and I was expecting smudges when I would check on it within four hours, but work was non-stop and I kept forgetting, so when I finally finished work and I was getting ready to drive home I was so surprised that there was no smudging, no raccoon eyes like I was expecting. My lashes weren't even drooping and this was a 9am to after 9pm work day and it was a humid day. My lashes were doing great. It's my favorite mascara of the year even when I do have days where it will smudge a bit. It's less than others and the brush can also feel too big at times but I love it. I also did buy the Rare Beauty mascara but still haven't tried it, but hopefully soon. Love seeing the best & worst of the year videos.

[@NatalieYTFoster]

I didn’t love the upswing mascara but the benefit magnet mascara is by far the worst mascara I tried this year!

[@andreabelec7852]

I’m SHOCKED about the bite beauty mascara (lol so dramatic). It is by far my most volumizing mascara. I look like I’m wearing falsies. I’m so sad for you lol. I wish it worked for your lashes. I will definetly need to try the rare beauty one though since you rave about it ☺️☺️☺️

[@ginag2176]

Totally agree about the essence mascaras tried them all and just hated it, found it so flakey! Nice to know im not the only one lol xx

[@Kimbyroseh]

I don’t like the essence mascara either. It dries out and flaked on me so fast!

[@hazelt9953]

A great video. You look gorgeous Sam. Have a lovely Christmas and New Year to you, your Family and everyone here xx

[@aundrealauzon]

It is so helpful to know what works and what doesn't. I was thinking about trying The Lawless Foundation, but I think I'm going to stay away from it. Unfortunately, I don't have the Dior powder to make it better. LOL Maybe in the New Year I'll be able to pick some up. It's at the top of my loves list.❤❤

[@mackenziec7303]

I’m sure it’s a lot more work to do this but I would love to see little clips or picture overlays of you using some of the products and showing some of the issues you mention 😊

[@chrissymoss514]

Thankfully, because of all you content creators, I haven't bought ANYTHING I wasn't pleased with. Thank yooooooooooo for bringing us all the honest reviews, entertaining us and helping us to spend wisely. #SantaSam Luv ya loads 🎅🎅💝💝🎅🎅💝💝🎅🎅

[@Kimbyroseh]

Do you have eyeshadow palettes picked out to wear for Christmas Eve/day, and New Year’s Eve? I think I’m going to dig out my sigma enchanted palette for Christmas! The greens in that palette…. And I was thinking Cinderella palette, Bibbidibobbidiboo for New Year’s Eve, but I kinda want to do a silver look so not sure…. Back in the day, I’d watch KZbin videos where KZbinr didn’t talk, just held up products, and it was in fast motion, and products listed in description box. So…. If you want to film yourself getting ready for any holidays but don’t have time for a chatty video, you could always do that and include it in a vlog 😉

[@annemarietimmerman7213]

Loved the video and wow, looking beautiful Samantha, love this, without lashes, natural look also very much on your face!!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩 Thanks for mentioning about the Bite mascara, really appreciate it!!!!!👍👍👍👍Because most of these products arrive later in here in Europe, normally. So: good to know!!! And, sending you lots of love, sending you extra lots of love in this, before-Christmas-week, and i hope so much that you can enjoy Christmas!!!😘😘😘😘

[@ilenar9568]

You're skin looks flawless and you look beautiful! Happy new year!

[@SusieRocks]

I just tried the mini of the They're Real Magnet mascara and I actually really liked it. I was surprised, because I don't remember hearing one good review on it lol

[@helenedujardin3539]

I agree about the Essence mascaras - I just don't get the hype. They do nothing for my lashes. I'm glad it wasn't an expensive purchase, lol!! Happy holidays to you and Aries! #SantaSam

[@quosoon4709]

You are so gorgous Samantha! I love your make up, your hair style, and your outfit *chef kisses. And this one is also my fav content :D

[@sandybowers5085]

Thanks so much for your honesty❣️👍🏼 I’ve got such an amazing arsenal of products, thanks to you‼️ #1 being the Dior Powder no Powder❣️❣️❣️Game on and go Packers!💚💚💚

[@ginger_80]

I really like when you wear the pigtail braids.

[@SoutheastbyMidwestBeauty]

I remember the Benefit They're Real Magnetic Mascara and it shifting during that Will I Buy It. Because of that I never went out and bought it. As such, I still do not understand what the point of this mascara is. Does the top have a magnet that you run over the lashes? If not, how is it supposed to be different? I just do not get it.

[@the_eerie_faerie_tales]

I like the Essence Lash Princess mascara. Recently tried the Maybelline Sky High and it made my lashes look really good BUT it was worse than waterproof mascara trying to take it off. I used cleansing balm, cleansing oil, regular face cleanser, and eye makeup remover.. I had to try all of them to remove the same application of mascara... Do NOT recommend!

[@samanthasullivan9306]

This is how I feel about the Urban Decay tinted moisturizer: some people love it, but it broke out my skin so badly! I’m wondering if I have a sensitivity to hyalauronic acid! #santasam

[@GiNgErSnAp-bh7eq]

Out of all these only tried the tatcha powder. Also thought had to be a new holy grail. What a dumpster fire! So bad.

[@nadiazanchetta1388]

Samantha, you are adorable and cute 😍 love your ootd as it's comfy and pretty 😍 the hair and makeup is fabulous 👌 Thanks for your friend Angelica recommendation she's lovely and she's looking forward to one day do your makeup 💄 😊

[@taylorwiedeman9136]

I love the bite mascara!

[@biogirl1381]

your OOTD is awesome today. i was beyond disappointed in the colourpop lovestruck collection as well. i loveeee your pigtails. 💜💜💜 #SantaSam

[@dreamingmusicgal]

I remember you doing the makeup with the colourpop shadows and I wanted that Amor UNTIL I saw you and I saved my money or I should say you helped me save my money. #SamSquad #SantaSam Merry Christmas and Blessings! Loads of Love!

[@TheJalebe73]

I love the Essence Lash Princess with green writing. I think it’s the False Lash Effect one. I haven’t tried the one you showed. I wonder if there is a difference in those formulations?

[@brooke3140]

I forgot how much I loved that one! Stayed on until you wanted to take it off. Some are so hard to get off lashes

[@kaylacarroll627]

Ooo I do NOT love ANY essence mascara lol i havent tried that one but the lash princess is terrible for me i just dont see the hype 😭😭

[@nay_yvette5301]

Love this video. The worst for me Elf putty bronzer look so muddy on me and elf putty primer first great but second time i was looking oily. Colourpop 5 pan palettes kept falling out plus didnt like how they look on me. #samsquad #Santasam 😍😍

[@allieburton9998]

OMG the Benefit mascara ran halfway down my face an hour after I put it on! It was terrible! And the Florence By Mills skin tint didn’t work for my daughter (who has beautiful, perfect skin and just turned 15 this week) soooo….idk that it’s an age thing. 😂😂 She was so excited to try it and was just like what the heck is this?!

[@mayraramos3092]

You're a Vibe in this video Sam 🤩

[@13cindys]

I'm with ya on the essence mascara's!! lol

[@EstherNathalie190]

I got the benefit magnetic from a friend for cristhmas today.Now i wanna try it no more lol.Thank you,a nice day.🙃

[@lexikay9326]

THIS IS THE MOMENT!!!!

[@lexikay9326]

Not even sure if there’s a giveaway yet but adding in my #santasam just in case. ❄️❤️

[@heatherjerse3319]

I love this eye look on you’re green eyes!!! #SantaSam

[@Nevermind_-]

The Bite mascara - I had it in a sample on Sephora and I keep trying it going “surely it works so well for everyone else, it’s something I’m doing” - this is the first mascara I’ve tried that actually DID transfer on me. I normally don’t have those issues but that mascara has me side-eyeing a lot - I also am not a fan of the essence but I also don’t love the rare beauty, unfortunately. I was so sad! I’m sticking with my Milk Makeup Kush, and the Smashbox SuperFan - two totally different brush styles but do amazing things for my lashes. 😂😂😂 #santasam

[@darkangel4185]

Florence by Mills is almost strictly a teen/young adult brand. Almost every content creator dislikes the whole product line. If you are a "adult" this is not for you.

[@ashleykelly7805]

These videos are so helpful!

[@michellea6426]

Your makeup looks stunning! Your skin looks beautiful 😊 Wow!

[@donnaweichel4866]

I absolutely hated Bite Beauty mascara. 🤷‍♀️

[@keke_2313]

I had a few foundations make my Worst Make-up I tried in 2021. The KVD Beauty Good Apple balm was at the top of the list. I know everyone loves the Tower28 glosses but I can’t get pass the smell. #SantaSam

[@lalacarroll431]

I feel like so many people were excited about the Tatcha powder and it was terrible on me!! I would say the worst product I tried in 2021 was the NARS Soft Matte Foundation! It made my skin look so dry, it aged me and I looked like I had so much makeup on! I agree with you the Essence mascaras do absolutely nothing to my lashes and I’ve tried them all! I do enjoy the Bite Beauty Upswing mascara but I have to curl my lashes and apply about 3 layers lol 😂 #santasam

[@ingriddryden1607]

Wow! I'm shocked that Bite mascara didn't work with you. It's my holy grail!! I think the Essence mascaras don't work for you either, same for me

[@MegAileen]

I haven't tried that specific Essence mascara, but the Lash Princess ones are great! Especially for $5! #SantaSam

[@Kimbyroseh]

I think the worst product I bought this year would have to be the naked cyber palette.

[@christahodges]

Good morning Sam!!! Excited to watch this cause your roast game is on point!! 💯 Love your hair 😍 So pretty like that 🙌 #SantaSam #SamSquad

[@brookewatson9531]

Is there anything worse for a makeup lover then when you have a bomb makeup look created and then the setting spray ruins it 😭🤣 I also disliked the tatcha powder, I tend to get dry around my eyes and I looked like a Cakey mess with that product🤦🏻‍♀️ #santasam

[@reagansea]

The one Essence mascara that worked for me gave me styes! It was 100% the mascara. I threw away the first bottle after getting one. I bought another. And two new styes. I’ve since gone back to my normal mascara, and I’m all good. Nooooope. Bye Bye Panda Eyes 👎👎

[@mandepilot]

I'm so glad I had more wins than fails this year. I found some great makeup so less decluttering for me for the New Year! #santasam

[@nunumakeupcorner4591]

I love the youtuber outfit, Happy Holidays..🎄#SAMSQUAD 🎄

[@janeneg]

I can't make the Essence mascaras work for me either...I don't know what it is but they hate my eyelashes too. #SantaSam

[@brwnidgrl4362]

I have not tried the BITE beauty mascara yet, but I think you are the only person who has had a bad experience with it, sorry to say. COME ON SAM! 😂🤣#SantaSam

[@sorry-I-write-long-comments]

Please try out Charlotte Tilbury Legendary Lashes volume 2 mascara! 🤩

[@huanyingzhao2982]

Always love the "worst" makeup video! Way more interesting than anything else🤣#santasam

[@britalyson7180]

Love these types of videos! It's always crazy to see what didn't work for someone. Happy Holidays! #santasam

[@dianecarter3744]

Excellent 💞! I'm so happy that you did this video now! A few of the products that you mentioned I had planned on purchasing! Lawless and Benefit Cosmetics Mascara. Thank you so much 💓! It's been a great save for me!❤❤❤ #SantaSam #samsquad

[@nicolemanuel2082]

I found your channel at the very end of 2020 so it was fun to listen to rehash these products because I feel like I’m reliving all of your videos I watched this year! #santasam

[@colleenmcdermitt2189]

Essence mascaras transfer all over the place and Dermablend foundations look like a mask. Love the pigtails! #SantaSam

[@taylorpalmer894]

That has also been my experience with the essence mascaras 😝

[@shawnaburke8946]

I love your braids and your makeup!

[@veronicamcminn7775]

Worst for me was Tatcha power and ABH iced out highlighter! 🤮

[@elsabevanrensburg2538]

Love your OOTD. Glamorous and comfortable 😃. #SantaSam

[@ma-ma-mamary3946]

I had the Benefit Mascara in my shopping cart. If it falls all over the place, that's a hard pass. Thanks! #SantaSam #SamSquad

[@martinasinatra]

I can’t even believe that some of these products are only from this year 😂 so crazy #SantaSam

[@laurasince1986]

I love "worst of" videos. So helpful. I love hearing exactly what about the product didn't work so I know if it would suit my preferences! #santasam #samsquad

[@K8SW76]

Its good to hear your worst list so I know what to avoid cos. Some of these products I forgot came out this year, its gone too fast #santasam

[@oliviabutterman5758]

I truly look forward to your Vegas OOTDs! #SantaSam
