High-End Viral Makeup Products That Actually Deserve the Hype
Alright, let’s get down to business - and talk about the high-end viral makeup products actually worthy of your hard-earned moolah.
In a world flooded with TikTok tutorials and Instagram Reels, it's easy to get swept away by the latest beauty trends and products. But that’s why you have me in your corner - a professional makeup artist of 12+ years here to sort through the flashy launches and hyped-up releases (trust me, I spend WAY too much $ at Sephora each week…as part of my job) - there are some makeup products that are worth every penny.
1. Patrick Ta Major Headlines blush
This has to kick off the list at spot number one: Patrick Ta's Major Headlines blush is loved for its buildable formula, versatility, longevity, flattering finish, and easy application, making it a staple in many makeup routines. The blush boasts impressive longevity, staying put throughout the day without fading or smudging, keeping your cheeks looking fresh and vibrant from morning until night.
2. Kora Organics Noni Radiant Eye Oil
Kora Organics Noni Radiant Eye Oil stands out for its nourishing ingredients, brightening effects, antioxidant protection, gentle formula, and multi-tasking benefits, making it a must-have for anyone looking to achieve a brighter, more youthful-looking under-eye area. I particularly like to apply it prior to putting on any face makeup, such as foundation and concealer, to help to smooth fine lines and wrinkles, prior to makeup application.
3. Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Lip Gloss
When it comes to lip gloss, and makeup products in general, Rihanna knows what she’s doing. Prime example: the Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer—a game-changer in the world of lip gloss products. With its non-sticky formula and universally flattering shimmer, this gloss is the ultimate finishing touch to any makeup look. Whether you're going for a subtle sheen or a full-on glossy pout, one swipe of this magic wand and you'll be ready to slay all day.
4. Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Setting Powder
Say goodbye to midday shine with Charlotte Tilbury's Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Powder. This silky-smooth powder blurs imperfections and locks your makeup in place for hours on end. Whether you're touching up on the go or setting your base for a night out, this powder is a must-have for any makeup bag.
5. Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder
Who needs a filter when you have Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder? This cult-favorite product is like a soft-focus lens in a compact, giving your skin a lit-from-within glow that's nothing short of angelic. Whether you're setting your makeup or adding a touch of luminosity to your complexion, this powder is a must-have for achieving that flawless, airbrushed finish. Note - I would not set under your eyes with this, due to the glow it gives.
Those are just five of high-end viral makeup products that are truly worth the hype, in my opinion. Let me know if you have any questions!
