OVERRATED MAKEUP AT SEPHORA! Watch Before You Buy 👀 

Charlotte Tilbury is by far the most over hyped brand ever! Other than the CT flawless filter, 2 way over hyped products are the Dior lip oil and blush. I could never pay those price points for such basic products that every brand has. There's tons of lip oils on the market and every brand has a pink bright blush. CP super shock in Ritz is a dupe for UD space cowboy

Any makeup can look good when you use a 20 year old model with lights and filters.

ALSO, I adore the screen recordings to the side while you talk about the products! Super helpful!

Well, the Lady Gaga foundation was overhyped. I am absolutely in love with the fact that she made a point to use models with more mature skin. She didn’t just stick to 20 year olds that already have really good skin….. and also that shade range is bomb!!!

So glad you have the guts to say this and stand by your opinion 🙌💕

I can't rationalize spending $68 for a moisturizer. That's my biggest problem with a lot of high end products

My unpopular opinion on the most overhyped makeup brand…. I think Pat McGrath eyeshadows and the mascara are way overpriced and hyped up. I had one pallet and sold it pretty quick after getting it. Shimmers did not work for me and the mattes were not worth the price tag. I think you can get a better formula from ABH or Colourpop. Urban Decay has lots of sales on their products off of their website if you ever wanted to look on there.

I'm not on Instagram or TikTok so i tend to not get bombarded with hype and the creators i watch here, such as yourself, give really balanced reviews and thoughts. For me, i did fall prey to the whole Black Honey hype and i was sorely disappointed. When you were talking about that lip product that disappeared almost instantly it really reminded me of my experience with Black Honey. The color was absolutely beautiful but the formula was awful. I'm not kidding when i say it lasted maybe 5 minutes on my lips. I love Clinique but dang. I returned it. It really was a great color on me but for that price i expect a bit longer wear time than 5 minutes 🙂

To me nothing compares to the overwhelming hype that Pat M eyeshadows receive, their prices are just ridiculous for what they are!

I agree about merit. I find their products way to expensive for what u get. Not only is the amount of product u receive minimal, the formula is not great. I also agree about rare beauty bronzer stick..I found it patchy as well

I’ve tried all of the viral/ ride or die makeup. I’ve always been underwhelmed. Not one product. The ones I’ve loved are the ones I never thought I’d love and found by myself.

The one viral product that I agree with the hype for is the Maybelline Sky High mascara - that one actually floored me! And for that price point, I will gladly buy that product! What really surprised me is that I actually finished a tube before it expired (almost never happens) and I'm on my second tube, and I have a backup. This is one product I adore 🥰

What about those colorful lip balms? Totally overrated to pay highend prices. 😂 Love your videos, greetings from Finland! 🇫🇮❤️

The hype around that pink Dior blush is crazy. It is pretty much a regular cool pink blush that many drugstore and other brands from Too faced to Mac also do, but for some strange reason people hype this Dior one. It looks so normal to me and also very small, not worth the hype for sure unless you like Dior specifically

Oh, and Tom Ford... nothing, including his fragrances, have blown my mind. I got rid of it all.

The Dior oil is overhyped for me. I caved and bought it but it’s too thick feeling on my lips.

I totally agree with you on Benetint. I thought it was overhyped back then, and it's super overhyped now, considering that more lip tints are on the market these days. That being said, the only way I could get this to work for me was on the lips by applying non-tinted lip balm on top of it once it dried. That helped with the feel of it and kept my lips from looking super dry too. The color of it is nice but not my favorite, so I just stopped buying it.

The haus labs foundation is definitely overhyped. It emphasizes my texture and sinks in to my laugh lines. Makes me look way older and I was very disappointed. I do like the new makeup forever hd. I also bought the urban decay shadow and wasn’t impressed at all!

For me it's Charlotte Tilbury pillow talk lipstick. The formula is nothing special and the color is also not that perfect nude as it promises.

Enjoyed this video. I'm glad you are confident enough to speak honestly about products - how bad is it that what you are doing is so rare? Please keep doing what you are doing.

I hate to say it but… the Patrick Ta cream/powder blush duos. The powder didn’t stand out to me. If anything, I felt like I had to keep layering it to show up well. The cream is nice, but it didn’t blow me away. 🤷‍♀️

I have the urban Decay moondust, I purchased on 21 days of beauty as well and it’s nice but I would never buy it at full price. I agree on drunk elephant my skin was bad when I tried them and I was amazed in how beautiful my skin looked, the protini was my favorite but now I know more about skincare I haven’t purchase from them in a long time,

I love this type of video ❤. I have a different experience with the cleansing balms. The ELF one I don’t love on my eyes, I got bits of the balm stuck on my eyes. I had a sample of the Pharmacy balm and loved it. I might make the splurge on that one for my birthday that is coming up.

I’m glad you said something about the rare beauty bronzer! I feel the exact same way! I try to be selective with my purchases so I hate when things are overhyped and I’m not crazy about them. I honestly think the tower 28 lip gloss and the makeup by Mario ones are also overhyped. I still love my buxom glosses!

When I filmed my eyeshadow declutter, I got rid of all my Dior palettes and most Pat McGrath. Think I kept maybe one Mothership? Also got rid of Surratt and Clé de Peau (not sure if those are at Sephora), and also Chanel shadows. You can get much better quality for much less $$$. About 450 palettes gone plus at least 80% of everything else and I don't regret it.

I totally agree. The rare beauty bronzer is WAYYYY too warm

Love ending the week with you! ❤

The clear lip balm from UOMA by Sharon C. That brand has some amazing stuff (their cream bronzer is A+), but somehow this basic lip balm is what went viral. It is greasy and not very moisturizing. Way too overhyped.

This video is very helpful as I am eyeing a lot of these products!

I do love the rare beauty bronzer formula, but I agree about the colors! I got the Always Sunny shade and it’s supposed to have neutral undertones, but I felt it very warm too, and I chose this one because the happy sol looked too warm! So I think they’re all very much warm tones.

I was also so disappointed by the Merit lip oil and I've basically never worn the one I have. Rare Beauty bronzer I also did not like how warm it was.

I agree for most of these!! But I do love the Rare beauty bronzer stick. I haven’t used that many cream bronzers though

I didn’t really pay attention to the MBM foundation because I knew it was going to be HYPED. Turns out I was right. Recently, because of the drama going on with MD, I caught when MBM did a half a pump with his foundation versus her usual ten pumps. It’s a pretty foundation. She looked nice. But it was nothing earth-shattering or life-changing. It could be created with any nice, luminous foundation or product combination. I do like the Haus foundation. It’s very pretty, feels good, and just does what I like a foundation to do. Life changing? Probably not. If you’re in the market for a new foundation, you might like to try it. But don’t stress about getting it if you aren’t. I like the color of the taupe Merit gloss. It’s very pretty. You are correct though- it’s not long lasting. For me, I feel like Rare Beauty, especially the last few launches, is reliable but not exceptional. I could be wrong though. I’m also like Space Cowboy. It manages to be both a wet looking eyeshadow and an awesome one and done. I will say though, I agree on the price point. If it were closer to MAC singles (without changing the formula) so like $19 or $20, they may sell more. I’m one of those people the Kosas concealer went off on. I love how it looks, but smelling that bad in under the time the brand says it’s good for is just not okay with me. For me, in general, anything that is marketed as “life changing” or “doing something that another product has never succeeded doing before” is over-hyped and will probably be disappointing.

I'm so happy with my drugstore complexion products. So I am not tempted to buy expensive foundations or concealers. The same goes for the rest of my makeup collection. Also, I am not a fan of short videos and don't even have a Tik Tok account. I know that is not the norm, but I enjoy RU-vid videos so much!

Disclaimer, I enjoy all of these products but I have others I enjoy more, or they're overpriced! 1. Fenty gloss bombs. I have 3 shades of this gloss and it's great but there's something about the smell and taste that I'm not a fan of. 2. Urban decay all-nighter spray. Good setting spray but there are so many others that do the exact same thing for a fraction of the price. 3. Pat McGrath eyeshadows. They're great but $174 CAD for a palette is a splurge at the best of times. 4. High end beauty sponges. I enjoy them but why spend so much money on things that work just as well for cheaper?

I love these kinds of videos, thank you for this! Soo many people trying to sell everything - I don't have infinite money and there's no way everything can be that good 😭. Sometimes I feel like these influencers need to demand a paycheck from these companies for how much marketing they do for them! Maybe influencers lean more towards praising products in the hopes of securing brand deals? Idk, it's just so challenging as a budget conscious consumer to find reviews that actually mean anything to me. Side note, Dr. Vanita Rattan is a really cool RU-vidr who shares info about ingredients in personal care products, and man... once you start paying attention to ingredients it really changes things 😂😂 so many high end expensive brands use formulations that aren't even that good for you! Marketing is really everything for a lot of these products.

I agree with everything you’re saying about Benetint. I just don’t understand the hype it never worked for me. That being said, I received a bottle of their Lollitint, and I liked that much better. It gives a very nice color to my cheeks. I stay away from putting it on my lips because it dies dry them out like the Benetint.

The Benefit Gogo tint is much better than the Benetint. I love it coz it is the ONLY blush that stays on my bare cheeks ALL DAY LONG. You're right when you said, it will stain the spot you put it on initially, so you gotta work fast, and one cheek at a time. I wouldn't suggest 3 small dots, I would say one bigger blob. That blends better than the small dots that your skin will soak up faster. 😅

I think the most overhyped brand overall has to be Glossier. They have some nice stuff but a lot of it does pretty close to nothing and it’s so hyped.

Rare beauty have just brought out some cool tone cream bronzer shades that are actually cool toned lol maybe try those

ABH. I've tried some of the eyeshadow palettes and they were very boring to me even when I liked the color story. I ended up giving them away. Also didn't like the liquid lipsticy and the regular lipsticks.

I purchased the UD Moodust eyeshadows, but when they were like half off! I'd spend $24 on like a multi-chrome from a small business, but not full price from UD. 😁

I have purchased the Tatcha Water Cream, twice now (the big containers). Is it expensive? Yup. I use it every couple days. I love the experience and how my skin feels. For me, it is worth it. I didn’t like the Farmacy makeup remover. When I used it, it felt like a wax on my skin and it would make my eyes cloudy. Definitely did not like it.

I have a different experience with the elf cleansing balm. It burns my eyes. Farmacy does not. Good molecules has a great cleansing balm at a much cheaper price that works similar to Farmacy and best of all, no fragrance.

I like the Ilia mascara for my bottom lashes. I wear contacts, have super sensitive eyes, watery eyes, and allergies. This mascara stays on, doesn’t flake, or smear on me.

Andrea I always watch the shorts of every channel I subscribed to when when I've watched all the long videos for the day and there is nothing on television I'm addicted to youtube all the way xx

I think the benetint changed I bought it recently and I put in the dots and blend it with the elf putty Primer brush

tbh I don't fancy the foundation by mario due to the silica and I have dry skin and don't like to wear a lot of powder the triclon looks very dewy from the reviews but most people have had different skin types I can't find a review from a creator who has dry skin so for now I'm still on my lisa eldrige that is self setting every release now I'm looking thankyou so much for your opinions on cosmetics xx

Charlotte Tibury flawless filter, Laneige lip mask, Fenty eaze drops, Hourglass foundation stick and I agree with Benefit benetint 👎🏼 all purchased & all trashed

Great Video Andrea Matillano

Givenchy prism libre powder. Its just like any other powder, my elf halo glow powder is just as good

Drunk Elephant is soooo over hyped yesss

I actually agree with you about all of these and I've tried 70% of them. Some of them I enjoyed at some time. The only thing here I'd repurchase is the Ilia mascara--it actually reminds me of the e.l.f. 3-in-1 mascara that they discontinued! But so many mascaras bother my eyes that the Ilia is worth re-buying.

I appreciate your opinion and you never steer me wrong.

I do not purchase lip oils- or balms. You are buying liquid lanolin or glycerin with color, packaging, and brand names hyped by media influencers. How did we get here? Lack of understanding of the beauty industry and reality 🎉

I gave into the hype of viral makeup and ended up liking a few of them, but there’s also some regrets. I regretted buying Pillow Talk Medium and the matte blush wand in Dream Pop from Charlotte Tilbury. As for makeup products I don’t care for, I don’t really care for the Dior lip glow or oil. The glow doesn’t really hydrate and the oil is too sticky for my liking. As for their blush, I find their rosy glow blush pretty, but would rather find a dupe.

I have hated everything Tilbury

I have found my Covergirl Tru blend lasts just as long as the really expensive foundations only makeup product I like to splurge on are MAC lipsticks, a few of the Nars lippies, and Lancôme Monsieur Big Mascara

The dior blush. Absolutely terrible, so are rares cream blushes. Haus labs foundation was like a disgusting thick mask

21 days of beauty is coming up soon (like Sunday) and I think the Urban Decay single shadows will be on sale (I think I saw that in a sneak peek)

I've been mixing the Haus Labs and Mario foundations together and it's absolutely stunning on my skin!!! I find less is more with these and I Prime and set it well and they last beautifully for me.

I tried the Ilia mascara this year and it’s become my go to. I honestly haven’t tried any of the other products you mentioned because of the price or they just didn’t interest me

I just hate TikTok. I think it’s terrible for America lol

Love the video!!! Love to see a video for Ulta!!!

Happy Sunday Everyone

Great video! I'd have to say the Charlotte Tilbury flawless filter (nice but wasn't mind blowing), Pat McGrath "special shades," ND palettes, any benefit mascara, Kosas and Dior powders- I'm sure I'm in the minority on all of these but had to add! xoxo

NARS and Tarte concealers

Ahhhhh I love the rare beauty bronzer stick lol but agree with all the others you said I've tried most except the foundations! Love you Andrea thanks for telling it like it is!!! 💛

Try the ulta beauty lip oils with the wands. They last as long as a lip gloss for me. Price is good too.

How come no one is talking about how bad the Makeup by Mario foundation is breaking the skin out!?! I haven’t had breakouts like these since high school. I immediately stopped using it when I noticed it was that that was breaking me out. 😅

Tatcha skincare is why over hyped. no one needs to spend $70 on one single moisturizer.

I like the Haus Labs foundation, but I think it’s because I was allowed to try it out for free and it came with instructions on how to use it. I was annoyed because it was very hard for me to find my correct shade because it does oxidize, but I like that it doesn’t really look like makeup, because I don’t want to look like I have makeup on lol. But for that foundation, it is supposed to work better with moisturizer than primer

Rare Beauty just released new cool undertones in the bronzer sticks maybe it might be worth trying a different shade?

I own the Haus Labs foundation and I must admit I do really enjoy it. I am not a huge high end foundation girl either, I tend to just buy what works for me instead of trying all the new releases.

I bought that Rare Beauty bronzer stick because of how l toned the swatches look but man it is orange af and I can only wear it in the height of summer. I like the formula and wish they’d make something actually neutral or cool for those of us who abhor the orange.

Unpopular opinion ct is the most overhyped. I’m sorry but there’s no single eyeshadow worth $32, or a quad for $60, or a lipstick for $35. And after seeing you use those new blush wands 😬 It’s just crazy to me, maybe I just don’t get the whole luxury makeup thing. Although I do have to talk myself off the ledge everytime I watch a Lisa Eldridge launch. For some reason I can actually get why her stuff is so popular. Maybe it’s because she’s such a great makeup artist and seems like one of the kindest people on sm. 🤷🏼‍♀️ the whole Kosas thing with the no preservatives has been the deciding factor for me not buying their products. I’m not an everyday makeup user these days, since I’m not out and about everyday anymore, so I can’t have something only last 6 mths. Especially, not a $30 concealer!

💔😭💔 Nooo.....Urban Decay Lol I gotcha I saw a super pinky color tester for Colorpop at Ulta last time but they had no name on it and nothing else seemed to match. I wanna try to find that one. Had a super golden shimmer and multi color fleck too and the pink just kinda disappears. The Benetint ...ugh, yeah I LOVE the idea of it, but it just disappears on my skin and esp my lips...it's gone by the time I grab my mirror again to check

Totally agree about Mario’s foundation, I bought it right away, while I like it okay, it doesn’t last on my dry skin and to tell you the truth, my nars skin reflecting foundation looks better on me and lasts all day long, I think I have only worn the Mario foundation, maybe 3 times since I bought it.

The nearest sephora is at least a 30 min drive, so I've been an Ulta gal for a long time, but I'm very tempted by the Haus Labs foundation that so many folks seem to like. It feels like such a gamble to find my shade online and I feel guilty when I need to exchange something due to it seeming wasteful. Can you tell I'm good at overthinking 🙃

I like both lines Haus Labs and MbM. I did buy the haus labs foundation and it’s really nice on my older skin but is it live changing no I actually like the Covergirl red cap foundation. Ok Ilia mascara is NOT a go for me at all I love the Tower 28 mascara right now. I have Merit Lip Oil and it’s O.K. I think a lip oil thing is really hyped right now but I think you can find one at the drugstore! Ok, Ilia mascara Thanks Andrea great video

Haus Labs is my holy grail foundation! It was hyped but deserving. Love the Kosas concealer as well. Rare beauty bronzer is sooo warm/orange. I didn't try any of the other hyped products. I usually wait a few months to see if ppl are still talking about them.

I used to buy alot of Dior makeup! But since becoming disabled its drugstore all the time!

Another overhyped skincare is tatcha, which I love, the moisturizer is 70 bucks a pop! All aestheticians that I have spoken to has stated that moisturizer is only needed to seal in your serums, so you do not need an expensive one, so you should concentrate on getting good, quality serums, and not over paying for high end moisturizer. But, I fall for the hype because I love the feel of tatcha on my skin!!!

Most overrated brands: Charlotte Tilbury and MakeUp by Mario.

I love it when I wait to comment and then you mention what I was going to say. I think both Ilia and Kosas are completely overrated. Ilia because I just don't like their stuff. Kosas because their statements about "clean" aren't backed by science and they sacrifice product stability. On the skin care side - Youth to the People. Their stuff is so expensive for such basic formulations and also sacrifice preservative stability so they can make clean claims.

Great job as always.

The most over hyped brand is easily PMG

Anything Tatcha or Glow Recipe is overhyped.

the moondust eyeshadows are going to be in the ulta 21 days of beauty!!

I don’t understand the hype behind the merit blushes. They fade away on me within the hour no matter what I do.

I love the Ilia mascara….. it works wonders on my aging lashes.

Rare beauty happy is my favorite bronzer

Rare beauty and Fenty get so much hype because ppl love the celebrities attached to the brand. They have good products but it seems like ppl automatically love everything they come out with.

I agree with everything you said 😂❤️🤷🏼‍♀️

Makeup by Mario… the whole brand is over hyped, I have tried foundation, eye palette, shaping stick and blush (I tried okay) all over priced for quality of products. 💔

I definitely don't see the hype in bennitint it's blochy and streaky and it doesn't look good on the lips either it definitely dried my lips out. I agree about the single shadows to if u want a pretty single shadow Sydney Grace makes great ones and their like 5-8$ each and the Colorpop supershocks 7$ I don't see paying that much for 1 shadow especially the CT singles 34$ crazy. I do love the Kosas concealer though the first one I bought was bad but I got another and it was good and I have sense replaced it. I definitely love the ilia limitless mascara it's a fav and a new fav is the rare beauty. * Ok I'm adding to my comment again..lol farmacy is my fav cleansing balm I think that one is worth the hype especially if u don't want to second cleanse it doesn't leave residue gets everything off and a great texture I do prefer the different scented ones though I don't know why they make them limited I hate that .

Same thing happened to me 🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️🙋🏻‍♀️ getting a shade that oxidizes 😭 What mix do you recommend to lighten a foundation??

I tried Benetint back in the 1990s and I was never able to get it to work. The formula dried before I was able to spread it out on my cheeks. E

CT flawless filter 💯

Charlotte way over hyped. Most of my foundations I love are drug stores.
