Summary
Highlights
The video starts with primers. The bestselling Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Primer is praised for its gel texture creating a sticky base. The worst-selling La Mer Perfecting Primer, which costs $100, is found to have a surprisingly similar gel texture to the Milk one but with an unpleasant scent, suggesting it's not worth the high price.
Next, the Nars Light Reflecting Foundation, the current bestseller, is applied. The host notes it's not as full coverage as she prefers. The worst-selling Tarte Maracuja Juicy Glow Foundation is applied next, resulting in a shiny, disco ball-like finish and a heavy feeling on the skin, which the host dislikes.
The bestselling Kosas Revealer Concealer is applied and found to be lightweight and effective, leaving a dewy finish. Surprisingly, the worst-selling NudeStix Nudefix Cream Concealer is preferred, described as the smoothest blending concealer ever, despite its lower sales rank.
The bestselling Patrick Ta Contour is subtle and great for everyday use. The worst-selling Kevyn Aucoin Sculpting Powder, initially appearing too light, impresses the host with its matte finish and blendability. For powder, the bestselling Huda Beauty Easy Bake is highly rated for its shine absorption and translucent finish. The worst-selling Fashion Fair Set It Loose Powder is also deemed good, effectively reducing shine without making the skin look dull.
The bestselling Patrick Ta Blush delivers strong pigment and blends well. The worst-selling Fashion Fair Blush Duo in Berry Red is difficult to blend and not suitable for the host's skin tone, although it might work for darker complexions. The bestselling Rare Beauty Positive Light Silky Touch Highlighter provides an intense, long-lasting glow. The worst-selling Milk Mini Holographic Stick in Mars is disappointing, offering very little shine and feeling heavy.
The bestselling Sephora Collection Retractable Eyebrow Pencil is a letdown, requiring heavy pressure and breaking easily. The worst-selling Bobbi Brown Micro Brow Pencil is much better, offering precise and pigmented application. For eyeshadow, the bestselling Makeup by Mario Neutrals Palette is praised for its easy blending and perfect color selection. The worst-selling Violet Voss Hashtag Palette, while vibrant, is noted for its bold colors, which might explain its lower sales, but the matte shades are appreciated.
The bestselling Sephora Collection Waterproof 12 Hour Retractable Eyeliner performs well, offering good pigment and smooth application. The worst-selling Natasha Denona Liquid Liner, despite concerns about bleeding from reviews, applies smoothly and doesn't run. The bestselling Sephora Collection Flirty Lashes are lightweight and easy to apply. The worst-selling Huda Beauty Lashes, though beautiful in style, have a thick, stiff band that makes them less comfortable.
The bestselling Sephora Collection Retractable Gel Lip Liner is creamy and applies nicely. The worst-selling lip liner was not received. The bestselling Sephora Collection Satin Hydrating Lipstick in Old Rose is glossy and hydrating. The worst-selling Givenchy Le Rouge Interdit Cream Velvet Lipstick, despite its high price, is found to be incredibly soft and a favorite worst-selling product. For lip gloss, the bestselling Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm is highly praised for its formula and applicator. The worst-selling Tom Ford Lip Blush, though expensive and a unique color-changing balm with gold flakes, is considered a luxurious experience rather than a superior product. The video concludes with the host showcasing the complete 'worst-selling' makeup look and noting that surprisingly, many 'worst-selling' products were actually quite good, and not all 'best-selling' products lived up to the hype.
