    I love essence lash princess and brow mascaras, but their pancake foundation and concealer was aweful on my face. Didn’t blend well and very dry. I’ll just stick to their mascara. I’m only speaking for myself and my experience.

    Honest Beauty, bought some of their sunscreen for a lake day and all of us that used it got sunburned. Thought that maybe we didn’t apply enough, then they got busted for not having the amount they said they did in it.

      Same thing happened to me. The people who used that sunscreen got burned and the ones that used something else didn’t. There are so many reports of this, it’s crazy that it’s still being sold.

    Morphe. First they didn’t disclose some of their eye products weren’t safe for use around the eyes. Then they rectified that by putting a warning on eye products that they weren’t safe for use around the eyes.

    And yet they still sell them

    Anything from a cosmetic line— most items are full of alcohol and fragrance, which both irritate and damage the skins microbiome.

    Milani. I’ve never liked their products and their stunt during the Depp/Heard trial was gross. No matter where you stand on it, a brand being cutesy about a domestic abuse case is inappropriate.

      They were literally just clarifying that Amber lied about using their product… it wasn’t even launched.

      Will never buy from them after. It’s disgusting. A makeup brand doing a tiktok vid “dunking” on a DV trial and then going and doing the pr rounds about it .

    For whatever reason, I can’t get any drugstore mascaras to work for me. They all flake and crumble on me and I don’t know why. Its rather disappointing. My HG is Chanel Le Volume. I’m never going to use anything else.

    SheGlam, the cosmetics division of SheIn. I think there is something to be said regarding their extremely low pricing, on top of coupons that they push to the consumers. Either the formulas are very subpar that it’s not even worth your time, or the workers are being paid unfair wages. I’m inclined to think it’s both.

      IIRC they’ve been independently tested a good few times by people not related to shein at all and the cosmetics are safe which is something. Their liquid blush and contour is very good. Their cream blushes and bronzers and contours are very siliconey, more so than elf. Their lipliners are very creamy if you like that for lip line, for me it’s too much. Their foundations are good and it’s good you can get cheap shade samples before buying. At the end of the day I wouldn’t recommend anything of theirs to anyone over anything else but if you’re broke and you need some makeup it’s not a moral failing.

    Probably SheGlam and bootleg makeup from Temu. Oh, and also brands from most YouTubers (ie, James Charles and Jaclyn Hill)

    L’Oreal. None of their make-up products work for me. Their mascaras, everyone were hyping them but they make my eyes itchy and it weighs down my eyelashes 😅 I also don’t like their base make-up, such as foundation and concealer, they don’t react well and look cakey on me.

    But their hair stuffs actually work wonderfully for me, especially the Elvive Hyaluronic Acid.

      They are hit or miss ! Their prices are crazy now. Their new matte liquid lip is also truly atrocious but they have good stuff too

    Nude by Nature. I’ve whinged about it on makeup subs before but before I could afford REALLY good products I bought a whole haul of NBN stuff including foundation, eyeshadow, pressed powder, primer, bronzer, contour palette and concealer. I was so excited thinking I was going a step up from the typical drug store brands.

    All of it (and I mean ALL of it) sucked. The foundation and powder were simultaneously too cakey and had terrible coverage. They were also so uneven. The eyeshadow was dark brown and I put like 5 layers on and could barely see colour (also, again, SO uneven). The contour turned a weird texture in its case and stopped applying properly. The whole haul was a disaster and I never used more than 30% of any of the products before giving up and throwing it all away.

      I love their mineral foundation and bronzer, been using them almost exclusively for the last year. Doesn’t break me out and gives very good and natural looking coverage. I guess we are all different.

      Nude by nature is the worst! Plus it smells really bad after a while (worse than Dollarama beauty). Their eye shadows don’t have any pigment and lipsticks smell horrible

    Too faced. Even they have good colors and I used thier foundation for few years but I think they have new formula and it’s like super dry.
