This year has been an exciting journey of exploring high-performing makeup and skincare products that help me achieve that coveted “effortless” everyday look! My favorites range from warm brown eyeshadows and eyeliners to simplified skincare routines that cater to my sensitive skin. Below, I’ve compiled a list of my top beauty discoveries from 2024 that I believe will elevate your daily makeup game!
One: Charlotte Tilbury Hot Lips lipstick in “In Love with Olivia” – This stunning lipstick features a rich pink hue that strikes the perfect balance between vibrant and subtle, ensuring it doesn’t resemble the typical “baby” pink. With its creamy texture and long-lasting formula, it’s an essential addition to any makeup lover’s collection.
Two: Urban Decay Vice Lip Bond Glossy Longwear Liquid Lipstick in “Text ’em” – This innovative lip product is one of the few long-wear liquid lipsticks that delivers comfort without compromising on staying power. Its glossy finish and vibrant color make it an excellent choice for all-day wear, ensuring your lips look fresh and fabulous.
Three, Four: Glossier Generation G Sheer Matte Lipstick in “Zip” and “Crush” – These lipsticks were my go-to during the summer months! They provide a delightful blend of matte and sheer coverage, offering a beautifully blotted lip look that’s perfect for everyday wear. Their lightweight formula feels effortless and enhances your natural lip color.
Five: Makeup By Mario SoftSculpt Transforming Skin Enhancer – Although I haven’t highlighted this product much this year, it remains a standout in my collection. This enhancer creates a soft, blurred, bronzy effect on the skin that adds dimension and warmth to my complexion, making it ideal for that sun-kissed glow.
Six: Summer Fridays Jet Lag Skin Soothing Hydration Mist – This versatile face mist is a must-have in my skincare routine. It provides an instant burst of hydration at any time of day, whether I need an early morning refresh or a midday pick-me-up. A few spritzes leave my skin feeling revitalized and deeply moisturized.
Seven: SWEED Beauty Air Blush Cream in “Fancy Face” – First off, the name of this blush brings a smile to my face, reminiscent of a delightful movie scene. More importantly, this vibrant coral-red shade is simply stunning on the cheeks, providing a fresh pop of color that brightens up my entire look.
Eight, Nine, Ten: Victoria Beckham Satin Kajal Liners in “Cocoa”, “Ash”, and “Bronze” – These liners are incredibly creamy and blendable, making application a breeze. I discovered them thanks to Andreea Ali during my visit to Paris, and they have quickly become staples in my makeup routine. The Cocoa shade is my favorite, but the Ash and Bronze colors are equally beautiful.
Eleven: YSE Like a Gloss Hydrating Lip Mask – This luxurious lip mask boasts a rich, thick consistency that I adore. It works wonders overnight, providing deep hydration and softness to my lips. I can’t go to bed without applying a lip mask, and this product has been a game changer for my dry lips!
Twelve: Origins Youthtopia Liquid Exfoliating Apple Face Peel – As a skincare enthusiast, I’ve had to be cautious with my products due to acne issues. However, I recently incorporated this gentle liquid exfoliator into my routine and have seen fantastic results. It effectively removes dry, flaky skin while enhancing my skin’s ability to retain moisture, leading to a smoother, healthier complexion.
Thirteen: SWEED Beauty Satin Eyeliner in “Mink Greige” – This eyeliner is my go-to for minimal makeup days or when I want a perfect “barely there” look for my lower lash line. The mink greige shade offers a natural finish that adds just the right amount of definition to my eyes without overwhelming my features.
