BEST MAKEUP OF 2024 - Face and Cheek Products

[@vanessaveeford]

The best makeup I found this year is all from Lisa Eldridge, but by far the thing I think is the best is her skin tint. It is my holy grail base product, and I swear, when I take it off, my bare skin looks better than before I put it on. It's magic, and I adore it so much.

[@thelipstickgal]

@@vanessaveeford I love the brand and much and the skin tint is so beautiful. I really love it so much.

[@marionallen2222]

It is magic I never want to take it off!!!

I looove the LE Skin Tint. I recommended it to my youngest sister. I am 72 and she is 14 years younger. It looks great on both of it. I also am pleased with her new lipstick formula.

The bronzers and blushes in the purple and pink packaging looks amazing

[@thelipstickgal]

@@makeupbyblowfish7975 they're so good and a new release from what's up beauty. I have an entire video on then just a few weeks ago.

[@makeupbyblowfish7975]

@ I think I watched that 😍 I haven’t tried the brand because honestly I don’t need more blushes or bronzers but they do look amazing!

[@lr8607]

I agree with you about the NARS Behave blush. It is perfect for a natural look, and the new formula for their matte blushes is superior, IMO. The old formula tended to hard-pan, but the newer shades I have do not. Great choice. Thanks for sharing.

[@thelipstickgal]

@@lr8607 thanks so much for watching. I really like the Nars blush and it makes me want to explore more colors.

[@marionallen2222]

Can’t wait!!! Did I tell u about my fav new toner HARUHARU WONDER has a new barrier essence milky toner it’s soooooooo hydrating like a moisturizer for me use that and the sunscreen in the morning g … so nice!!! 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍 great picks… agree!!!!!

[@ivonnestephany2009]

I love the lancome bronzer as well ❤

[@thelipstickgal]

@@ivonnestephany2009 it's so good!

[@juliewells4282]

I’ve been wanting to try the About Face foundation. I’ve only heard good things about it! 😊

[@thelipstickgal]

@@juliewells4282 it's really a beautiful foundation. I really love it.

[@marionallen2222]

I love the YSL BLUSH in 37 HOURGLASS in SCENE and NARS BEHAVE I got S Appeal too and it’s pretty too also love all Smashbox palettes no one talks about them but Stephanie Marie that I’ve heard they are fantastic almost as good as the Lancome bronzer lol they are all smoothing and perfect shades for us love all the oranges for me 🤣 I got the Cali contour back to Cali and pink saturation they are all very similar pro just need 1

[@soniasobaro9127]

I purchased the dragon palette on black Friday, I am enjoying it and using it every time I wear makeup. Having said that I think I would only repurchase at 25-30% discount. I personally do not need two finishing powders and the highlighter is too shiny for my taste, but great as an eyeshadow. It is overpriced but great anyway 😊

[@thelipstickgal]

@@soniasobaro9127 yes, the $90 price was a little crazy. I really love it, and I enjoy having the two finishing powders in there. This is the first holiday palette I have from hourglass where I use every pan. That's huge!

[@soniasobaro9127]

@thelipstickgal do you use them for different things ?

[@bookshopgirlilmariel2510]

I really really love the Lancome bronzer! What do you think you the Lancome highlighter? I'm on the hunt for a good powder highlight

[@thelipstickgal]

@@bookshopgirlilmariel2510 the Lancome highlighter was one of my worst products of the year. It makes my skin look dry and powdery. I wish it was amazing like that bronzer. 😥

[@bookshopgirlilmariel2510]

@@thelipstickgal 😱 oh no!!! Thank you for your warning! Definitely going to check out the L'Oreal one and Maybelline is also releasing a new liquid one.

[@dianereiser6417]

I ordered the PRADA foundation with the Sephora 20% off sale, I got a sample of it and like it. Hoping it doesn’t let me down.

[@thelipstickgal]

@@dianereiser6417 I hope you like it as much as I do. I found so many great base products this year. Thanks for watching.

[@seedylee]

omg totally forgot i have the kimchi powder, gonna pull that out and use it like how you described. what lip are you wearing here, i love the look!

[@thelipstickgal]

@@seedylee I'm wearing two of the rouge experience lipsticks from Lisa Eldridge. I'm wearing Lisa all over with Audrey right in the middle. I really like the Kimchi powder. It really surprised me how much I love it.

[@stay_ccrane4962]

I will totally get myself a mini of Tirtir foundation to try. I don't use foundation usually, but I think it could be practical for special occasions. How long do you think it will last (how many uses)? Thank you for the video!

[@thelipstickgal]

@@stay_ccrane4962 I don't know. I'm sorry. I'm sure you could get many uses out of it, but it depends on how much you use. I really like the coverage and wear. If I apply it with the included sponge, it gives more coverage, but if I use a damp beauty sponge it's lighter. I really like and I'm impressed with how long it wears.

[@SaraNeal-k9z]

I got a mini to double check shade (13N) for me and I quickly got the big one and save the other for travel. So good! Feels like nothing! But, press lightly on the sponge and then use the inside black flat area to tap and work it around on your face- don’t go it heavy! Less is more!

[@stay_ccrane4962]

@@SaraNeal-k9z, thanks a lot for the tip!

I watched same video from Nikki and commented about the RMS powder. I’d purchased the RMS during Black Friday and had noticed my makeup not looking as good as it usually does. She said the RMS has tons of glitter… I swatched it directly next to my pre-reformulation Givenchy powder and did a side by side wear test with them. My Givenchy powder (shade 2) has much more sparkle than the RMS. During the side by side wear test I did notice that my powder products lasted longer on the Givenchy side but I also looked a little shinier throughout the day. For me, I feel like I might like the RMS more in the summer, or only using it on my chin and forehead with a puff. It’s a little too dry under my eyes and on my drier areas. Mine definitely didn’t have any sparkle or shimmer, though. How would you compare the RMS vs the Mario and Givenchy? I’m considering getting the Mario in the coming year if it kind of sits in the middle of the Givenchy and RMS (if that makes sense lol). I love the WA contour sticks! I got Biscuit as a contour and Truffle to use as a bronzer. It works very well as a bronzer shade on me. My skin tone is very similar to yours, but I have a peach undertone. Truffle has the right amount of red to look very natural on me. I always love your videos! You’re one of the few creators who it feels like is actually having a conversation with your viewers. I’m excited to see your other videos in this series.

[@thelipstickgal]

@@lvvl1005 ok, I prefer the RMS over the Mario. It's not as dry as the Mario powder. When I say dry, keep in mind that it's very small increments that separate these powders. I love them all, but if we're getting down to the minutiae, here's how I'd rank them: Givenchy (original) RMS Mario I don't see and glitter in my RMS powder and I love how light it sits on the face. I like how the Mario one sets my face, but I don't like it as much with a brush. The original Givenchy powder was magical and I miss it. 😭 I really like the WA contour shade in biscuit. It's so good! Thanks for the compliment on my delivery, and thanks for watching today. Have a wonderful holiday season.

[@lvvl1005]

@ Agh! You’re the best! I totally understand about the tiniest increments 😂 Since I already find the rms drier than the Givenchy, I can take the Mario off my list. My skin isn’t super dry but I live in an arid climate so things can go dry quickly on me. Thank you! I literally just swatched all of my powders and noticed that my 2 Givenchy shades have different levels of glitter. They’re both the og formula but shade 2 is much more shimmery than shade 3. I found an unopened trial size Hourglass veil powder in the back of my drawer and the swatch looked beautiful compared to my other powders so I’m going to test it out today and see how it performs. 🤞🏻Have a great day!

[@unposhnails3366]

Do you happen to have the Tarte blush in Exposed? I wonder how it compares to the NARS in Behave. I was thinking about getting it because I feel like cooler nude blushes are kind of rare, but now I’m thinking about the NARS.

[@thelipstickgal]

@@unposhnails3366 sorry, I didn't have any taste tarte blushes. You could compare them in store.

[@unposhnails3366]

@ my store doesn’t carry that color in the Tarte blush. It’s an older product for them

[@marytaylor8482]

I'm curious about the chanel highlighter. Does it stay tacky on the skin?

[@thelipstickgal]

@@marytaylor8482 it's stays dewy. I don't find it to be tacky, but rather dewy. It is a balm highlight. Every cream highlight I have stays dewy.

Did you say “Lipstick Lesbians”?

@@dianereiser6417 yes. Alexis and Christina are the Lipstick Lesbians on KZbin, Instagram and Tik Tok. They do a lot of informal and educational beauty content. Check them out.

What a beautiful list 😀 not surprised Nikki didn’t enjoy the rms powder since she has oily skin, if they ever do a pressed version of i absolutely want to try it I just really hate using loose personally 😆my favorite beauty / skin care products I tried this year were: Elemis dynamic resurfacing pads The inkey list oat balm cleanser/mask, omega water cream moisturizer ND golden and INAW palettes LE rouge experience lipstick in the shade ashes of roses Benefit fanfest mascara

[@thelipstickgal]

@@megdvs21 what a great list of products you tried. I agree with you on so many of them. I love the RMS powder so much. It's so good. 8 would love a pressed version too, but I don't know if that would still work the same.
