The Worst Makeup of 2024

[@Makeupbynikkilarose]

Hi everyone!! Thank you for watching this video! I wanted to make a quick reminder that if you happen to love and make work, any of the products I mention in this video that’s great and don’t let me change your mind if you’ve already been enjoying them! Just sharing my brutally honest feelings in this video and not holding back. ❤❤

[@safrica229]

Absolutely correct! Different strokes for different folks! Thanks so much for the honesty Nikki! We appreciate that so much.❤

[@Terry21-c4p]

Looking forward to your all time favorites of 2024 🙂

Hey Nikki , take that S t back . Get your money back. Please don't save them to show us . I can't imagine how much wasted money that bin totaled. You tell us to take it back , I've been there not anymore I no like you get back ! Thank you for your honesty. We love you so so much .

Honestly the only makeup reviewer I trust. Have learned so much on your channel and have never bought anything that I was disappointed in with your reccomendations.

[@LiliAnderson-hi6qy]

Hi! I tried the Saie blush, and it lasted for 60 seconds. No more Saie for me. This is so valuable to me, because as a relative newby, I always think I'm doing it wrong. Nope, sometimes it's really the product. I love, love makeup. Couldn't wear it in years past because I was a run out the door type and never thought about it. Now, at age 69 and retired, I'm starting to have some serious fun! Your videos have taught me so much, and I really admire your talent and passion. Thank you, Nikki! Love, Lili

I'm obsessed with the eye shimmer ! What is it?

[@c.cooper9549]

Nikki...thank you, thank you, thank you! Unfortunately, I fell victim to quite a few of these products (influenced by others): Bare Minerals foundation, Nars liquid blush, Sweed powder and WA and Saie concealers. I was thinking it was just me...that I must be doing something wrong, because they just weren't working. So thanks for your honesty. My recycle bin just filled up!❣

[@fatimag9108]

Thank you for using your platform to advocate good makeup products & call out the worst makeup… make up is getting more and more expensive & people can’t afford to waste money. I think this movement will make companies work harder to not end up in these kind of videos thank you so much for your content. I appreciate your honesty. Thanks, Nicki.

Can you do a tutorial on the makeup you’re wearing? It’s sooo pretty!!

My worst purchase of 2024: the much loved Victoria Beckham eyeliner which is much too slippy and creamy for my eyes..it's a mess on me and goes everywhere...back to Pat McGrath or Urban Decay for colors that stay put and i can be intentional with!

[@lvvl1005]

Thanks for sharing! I’ve been wondering about the VB eyeliners. I love the UD eyeliners and I also swear by the Lancôme eyeliners. They are budge proof on my oily lids- they last even better than UD on me.

[@heyitslo]

YES to these types of honest videos it adds so much credibility!

I enjoy following you. You are so real and legit. Totally fearless in giving honest reviews, no matter who the power names are behind the brands that send you their products. Can’t wait for you to someday have your own cosmetics line. It will be top quality for sure.

[@hannaaasenorway]

Finally someone that calls out the Dior glow highlighter! I so agree. Loved this video.

[@megansmakeupmusings]

10:56 I agree with you! Idk what it is about Huda’s 9 pan palettes but they’re always horrible!! It makes no sense because the formula in her larger palettes is incredible! Idk why there is such a huge difference in quality. I’m so sad about her discontinuing the large palettes, that formula is so good

[@jackack1429]

Thank you Nikki! It's such a bummer about the Prisme Libre powder reformulation. I appreciate all of your input. I've learned so much about makeup application from you. 🤩

[@andreabattle-coffer3125]

Hi Nikki, thank you for your honesty about these products and for letting us know not to waste our money or time buying them. But the other reason why I liked this video is because you didn’t hold anything back about even the brands that you do like i.e. Danessa Myricks, Make Up by Mario, etc., those particular products still made your Worse Make Up List for 2024. Keep up the Honesty!! NO HOLDS BARRED!!

[@judybonny3897]

Refreshing!! Thanks so much for being honest and real.

[@Makeupbynikkilarose]

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@SassiegmainVegas]

Thanks for your honesty❤️

[@ASchetzer]

I think the great to remember that make-up is very personal - how it works will depend on your skin type, age, how you use it. It’s great to have advice like this, but it’s even better to test products out yourself 😊

[@DMV8662]

Helps if you have an endless NO budget too...🙄

[@Bibi-ue6ef]

@@ASchetzer I understand but I do not agree. These are products, they can be reviewed objectively. Makeup is a luxury, so having an opinion in advance helps tons, especially when you are buying them online. Not everyone has money to test all products.

[@dianarickards828]

Dusty crusty 😂😂😂 also lovely surprises that it was posted early! Can’t wait for the best of 2024!!! 😅

[@pamorama]

Oh Nikki, I was rolling through some of these. "They should've marked this as a magic eraser because proof it's gone!" But, I do LOVE the Merit complexion stick. I think it is super emollient and wonderful. I use the BK beauty 101 foundation brush with it and it is chefs kiss perfect. I used it today. In fact my skin is going through a terrible period of dry patches and sensitivity. It's almost the only thing I can use at the moment in terms of a complexion product on unsensitized skin

[@lalacarroll431]

I love brutal honest Nikki! I did waste my money on some of the products you mentioned. I really love Milk Makeup but that cloud primer did absolutely nothing for me. It reminded me of hand sanitizer. Thank you for sharing the products you mentioned that were not worth the money. We are living in a time where everything is so expensive and when you purchase makeup or anything in the beauty space you want it to work! I really appreciate your honesty and saving us money and time!

[@NammyEE]

Nikki, this video was exactly what I needed today! You are so incredibly talented and just genuinely nice, that when you don't like a makeup product, that says it all to me. There are 4 in particular here that we are on the same page about, and it was so validating for me that you agree. Not to mention a huge relief. They are: RMS loose powder, Westman Atelier concealer, ILIA lip sketch and Dior forever glow enhancing booster. Thank you so much, Nikki!

[@scorpion-lg4ic]

I get the frustration on the YSL lavender blush because they misrepresented the shade on people's skin. However, im super pale & that works for me. I love a purple blush but most are too dark.

[@Makeupbynikkilarose]

Totally see how it would be gorgeous on fair skin- but like you said, it was the misrepresentation and marketing that landed that product on this list 😮

[@RodelleGruezo]

Loved today’s content! So refreshing to hear what didn’t work rather than what is the best of the best. Don’t get me wrong, I still enjoy hearing what’s good, but it’s nice to hear honest takes

[@kristinvergara538]

I have to say I love the slip tint by Saie. But here’s why… I have dry maturing skin and live in a very dry climate. Also I use this for casual everyday wear when I might have just blush, mascara, and a lip on. Lastly I have medium-light warm-neutral skin tone, it’s shocking how hard it is to find a good color match. They often run to yellow/orange or pink. With this skin tint I have found one of my best color matches. So on me it feels hydrating and looks so natural. I do love these reviews and have found so much good makeup because of your videos ❤

[@judithcarr7392]

Nikki you are fab. I love this video and I have seen so many of your videos. You are so great with helping us buy the right products our issues. In addition, I LOVE that you tell the truth about high and low end products.

Thank you Nikki for your honest opinion. It’s one of the many reasons why I love you. Btw your face is glowing! What foundation are you using?

[@kellyh7202]

The Saie Slip Tint is my HG, I'm 36 with dry/sensitive skin! I use the Embryolisse lait creme to prime underneath and it lasts amazingly well on me for a skin tint, does not cling to dry areas, and evens out my skin tone despite the sheer coverage. I do recommend priming before it, I know some people don't with a product this moisturizing but it makes this product look so much better on me

[@jewelnabq01]

I appreciate reviews like this as well. But I think what works on one person may not work for others. If I heard correctly, Nikki's skin runs on the oily side as well as her eyelids. For those of us who do not have oily skin some of these products may work well.

[@monica19891116]

I actually love those Chantecaille single eyeshadows. I bought every shade in that line, and they are the most used eyeshadows for me this year. The formula reminds me a lot of the Japanese eyeshadows (specifically the Lunasol eyeshadows), they show up very well on me, long-lasting and blend easily too.

[@jennifercanada6851]

Omg the Saie skin tint is absolutely my holy grail! My mom and I (she is 78 I am 53) have so many allergies, eczema, sensitive, and very dry mature skin. This gives us the added moisture on top of our moisturizer. It looks so natural and doesn't sit in fine lines. Seriously can't live without it!

[@FairyOddPanda]

I don't think you need to apologize so much on a video that's just stating your personal opinions & experiences! Really appreciate you wanting to keep your channel positive and keeping this kind of content to 1x yr though. You mentioned you're working on a k beauty video some time ago & I'd love to throw in the wakemake powder in satin pink as a contender for givenchy voile rose old formula replacement! I bought it on a whim and I've been loving it so much I would love to hear your thoughts (especially since my original purchase of pre-reformulated givenchy was after watching your video ;))

[@marthaj67]

The way Nikki described how the "Kosas BB Burst" applies and sits on the skin is how complexion products have been for me since menopause. It's enough to make me not want to wear makeup because I can't find anything that looks flattering 😞 Are any of my more "seasoned" sisters experiencing this, too?

[@reddish79]

I usually don’t watch videos like this- but I loved it. I have been really unimpressed the last few times I have gone to Sephora - ended up buying nothing. Passed on the sale in November too. Makeup companies are ripping us off big time with all this gimmicky stuff. Time to go back to basics for sure .
