The BEST Makeup of 2024 | My STANDOUT Favorites From the Entire Year

[@StephanieMarie]

Merry Christmas! 🎄 I hope you enjoy my top makeup picks of the year! Let me know yours in the comments! I need to correct some shade errors I made with my overlays. I wear the following foundation shades: • About-face LM1 bit.ly/47WCg62 • MAC Studio Fix Fluid NC16 (in my full review, I talk about how the reformulated NC25 is more yellow than it used to be) bit.ly/4dmaT95 • Christian Louboutin 20 Dune Nude) bit.ly/49WjrAV • Natasha Denona N3 bit.ly/4b3WyNf I was up late finishing up the editing and mislabeled a couple of them. Sorry about that! 🤪

[@CandidLy1]

Thanks for the spotlight on MACs reformulated studio fix definitely looking into that! 🎉❤

Love your top and earrings, Steph! Merry Christmas! ❤

[@StephanieMarie]

Thank you! Merry Christmas to you too!

Kosas is my favourite blush. Got the gift set with three minis which are quite a bit of product for a mini. Love all three shades. They are my go to blushes!

[@StephanieMarie]

I missed out on that set and wanted it so badly! 💖

[@cindylundquist8051]

Hi Stephanie, what BK beauty brush were you using to put your cream blushes on with?

[@anne-mariegoose6026]

I absolutely love the LM sticks. I’ve just bought several of them 🎉

Hi from Singapore! Love your videos!

[@StephanieMarie]

Hi! Thank you!

Hello from Sioux Falls, SD. Thanku for your videos! Merry Christmas!

[@StephanieMarie]

Merry Christmas! Thank you!

I’ve watched at least three faves of 2024 and the About Face has been in all three. I may have to give it a try.

[@danielle6868-g4s]

Thank you for your STANDOUT product recommendations! By chance have you tried Lisa Elridge "Enhancing Skin Tint" ? I would love your opinion . Happy Holidays!!

[@StephanieMarie]

I didn't simply because her original foundation, though stunningly gorgeous and skinlike, didn't last long on me. So I didn't have high hopes for the longevity of the skin tint. I may at some point though :) Merry Christmas!

[@lindafillichio1048]

Nice video. Disagree about tarte concealer. I never ever have good luck with their concealers but I do love some of their eyeshadow palettes❤

[@CandidLy1]

Same

[@StephanieMarie]

You've tried this specific one? It's much different than Shape Tape and the other drying ones. It's thinner and v hydrating. Also the new one in the pot I reviewed is too!

[@jennifermajor5013]

The Judydoll with the CT Exaggereyes is the combo of dreams!!

[@StephanieMarie]

Truly!

[@edena2769]

Thank you for all your recommendations, they always work great for me ❤ Merry Christmas to you and your family. I can not find shade LM1 in Mac foundation. Is this is the shade you are having? Thanks again.

[@StephanieMarie]

Oh shoot I may have put the wrong overlay. I'll put a correction in my top pinned comment. MAC is NC16. LM1 was supposed to be for About Face 🤦🏼‍♀️ I was up super late finishing up my editing and haven't had a lot of sleep lately. Sorry!

[@edena2769]

That’s fine 😂 Thank you very much ❤

[@monicapatton1405]

Can I ask, with a hydrating primer do you put it on before sunblock?

[@CandidLy1]

After 👍

[@StephanieMarie]

Sunscreen is the last step of skincare. Primer is the first step of makeup. And wait several minutes between :)

[@CandidLy1]

And this is what I found online and has been recommended to me as well: Applying primer after sunscreen ensures the protective barrier is not compromised and allows your makeup to adhere smoothly to your skin. And this: The correct order is sunscreen, moisturizer, primer - and this is why: To be effective, sunscreen has to be absorbed by your skin.

Did anyone else notice a smell with the ND powder foundation? Mine smelt like burning car tires so I returned to Ulta. I would love to have a new powder coverage option similar to MUFE but better shades for me.

[@anne-mariegoose6026]

Argh I knew you’d pick that concealer. It’s still impossible to get in the UK!

[@StephanieMarie]

I have plenty of other favorites! Tower 28 still has my heart!

[@kupidsrus1]

Why, oh WHY, would they not allow us to have Korean sunscreen??? It's SO much better than American!! Do you know the thought behind this risk?

[@StephanieMarie]

Government regulations. They haven't approved those sunscreens in the US yet. From what I understand it will be an issue on Amazon for sure, but we may be able to get them through authorized retailers. I'm not sure. But it seems that the asian brands will be formulating US versions with our crappy chemical filters. No good for us sensitive skin girlies.

[@teri2466]

I researched this recently. Korean sunscreen filters have never been FDA approved, which means they can't be sold "on the market." Amazon is cracking down unless the sunscreen has been approved by the FDA. There are a few, but they use FDA approved filters - the same that are in US sunscreens. Amazon is also cracking down on fakes - there have been quite a few, especially Beauty of Joseon fakes. We can still get Asian sunscreens from online Asian stores like yesstyle. For now, anyway. However, US customs could block them at any time. 🤷‍♀️

[@nataliemammitzsch4369]

What do you have on your lips ?

[@StephanieMarie]

I shared it in the video! 💖

[@marionallen2222]

They better not block my HARUHARU wonder sunscreen!!! ☀️☀️☀️☀️🤍🤍🤍🤍 better stock up again

[@CandidLy1]

The Bubble tinted mineral sunscreen is fantastic if for some reason people have problems with their fav face sunscreens.
