Younique is a multi-level marketing company based in Lehi, Utah.Younique's products are distributed solely by "presenters", who purchase the products to resell them. Their business model has been met with both praise and criticism, with the products' poor quality often derided. Younique is also... read more
I absolutely love Younique and all their products. I have super sensitive eyes and skin, and I tried the 3D mascara first. I was shocked that I no longer reacted to having mascara on. Gone are the days of using products with formaldehyde in them. I was so impressed that I joined the company, and it has been a blessing in my life ever since. I am able to see exactly what is in each and every product, so I can make an educated decision on what I am wanting to put on my face and skin.
They treat each Presenter with grace and dignity, showing that we matter. We aren't just some name on a company list that they don't care about. They are the most honest, transparent, Godly, and sensitive to the customers' and Presenters' needs. We all have a voice. They appreciate input and suggestions, making us feel important and valued. It's an honor to work for such amazing people as Derek and Shelaine Maxfield, and Melanie Maxfield Huscroft. I am 60 years old and have seen a lot of businesses in my time, and tried a lot of different brands of makeup and skincare from the low end of the spectrum to the upper end of products. By far, I would recommend, use, and share Younique's products hands down any day of the week over any other product out there.
For only being 2 years old, Younique is breaking all kinds of records and setting the bar for other companies to try to match. They keep the products fresh with new products coming out every spring and summer. What is super awesome about their products is that they are safe for any age. My youngest customer is 11 years old and is a cheerleader, and her mother loves the 3D mascara as there are no more fights getting makeup done for competitions. My eldest customer is 85 years old and just loves the 3D mascara as well, and is enjoying some of the other products too. So, there is no age appropriateness with any products. They blend science, nature, and the finest healthy ingredients to create the best possible makeup and... more
I love the custom liquid foundation! It is tailor-made just for my skin's needs and the perfect color. The consultant mixed my foundation after I filled out the foundation survey. That is where she started with my formula. I wanted a matte foundation with very full coverage. I didn't want to add sunblock but probably will in my next formula.
She got the color just perfect by mixing a base shade and adding yellow, blue, and green toners. That is what was needed for my foundation to match my skin. She had all of these colorful bottles with colors like purple, yellow, green, blue, pink, and a bunch more I can't recall. She said that all of these toners are used to match her clients' skin perfectly. I also have combination skin, and she added moisturizing and oil-controlling botanicals. I chose to do the anti-aging botanical as well.
The last thing that she asked me about was if I wanted a plumper in my foundation, and I did! This foundation just melted into my skin. The color was so perfect I couldn't even see it in every light. The product washes off so easily because it is water-based but stays on all day and looks better throughout the day, not worse. I am in love with my foundation. I will never use anything else! This is the best.
The best news was it actually improved the texture of my skin the longer I used it. The consultant said that was because it is a treatment foundation and had calming ingredients. The bottle also lasted 3 months because it had such great coverage with very little foundation. AMAZING! The rest of the line is fabulous too. I have a lot from the line now and love all of it! The pigmentation cannot be beat! My favorite things are the blush/bronzer duo, Elements eyeshadow palette, and the liquid stick lipsticks.
Artistry is the best product I have ever used. With the Essentials, you receive the best care, and the Time Defiance series is for ladies who want to look beautiful. And the crown of all Artistry products is Creme LUXURY. It makes the skin feel 15 years younger.
The Artistry product is really good for my skin after use. Before, I also tried using other branded products. At first, they were good, but after a long time, my skin started having problems like sensitivity. Through my friend's recommendation, I started using Artistry. I had never heard of or used the brand before. She also told me that Artistry is a top-5 product. After hearing this, I accepted and bought the product to use.
After a few months, another friend told me that my skin looks different than before - very bright. I am 19 years old, but other people say I look like a 17-year-old. I'm so happy. Finally, I want to thank Artistry for giving me a chance to look younger. Artistry is also a 100% natural and economical product compared to other branded products.
Estee Lauder is by far the best. They have the number one best-selling foundation in America! Double Wear is my favorite. It stays on forever, and there are about 30 shades to choose from. The beauty advisor matches you! Also, they have about 8 other types of foundation! And their skincare is varied. They have products for dry, normal, oily, and sensitive skin. I also like their selection of colors in eyeshadow, liners, lipsticks, glosses, and even nail polish. They are by far my favorite cosmetic company.
Professional-grade, consistent brand with a wide variety of colors and products to serve every type of skin or style. I love my MAC. I have been a licensed esthetician and makeup artist for over 11 years, and I always go back to MAC. I've tried so many brands, and there is some good stuff out there, but as a whole, MAC is where it's at.
It's a caring company with a good reputation. It furthers education for its artists and is cutting-edge. No gimmicks, no nonsense.
I was having a very hard time finding a foundation that matched my skin complexion since I was a teen. I went into my local MAC store and asked if someone could match my skin complexion with their powder foundation. It was a perfect match! I was blown away and excited!
So of course, I purchased it and the liquid foundation! So from that moment on, I've been a MAC girl! I also love the lipsticks and lip glosses too! I just love MAC!
I've been using Clinique since I was a teenager. I've tried different products on and off over the years (I'm 37 now), and I always go back to Clinique to fix the problems that were created when I tried to change. I'm using the acne and anti-aging products and still having great success with them.
I get compliments all the time on how great my skin looks. I never thought it was anything special, but when I switched back to Clinique a few years ago after straying away for a while, I started getting compliments again! Love it! I will get my daughter started on it soon!
Lancome is the essence of beauty. What a true woman can wear with class and style, yet be able to use in all walks of artistry. From photo-ready prep and priming to Halloween makeup contouring, I love their color, their palettes, their "in the now" approach to everything they do, keeping their French and fragrance roots.
This is a true friend to the skin and flatters each woman's individual needs to make her feel beautiful inside and out!
Lancome has great skincare, and the colors are amazing. The eyeshadows wear great. They just came out with Visionaire foundation! Let me tell you, this foundation is amazing. It evens out your skin tone, helps with pores, and has a concealer. Can you ask for more? Ask Lancome, and you get it. Visionaire has SPF 20, a skin-correcting foundation that helps with fine lines and wrinkles. I love Lancome. They work for today's busy women.
Mary Kay is amazing. It makes your skin soft and smooth. The skincare is second to none. The prices are amazing. They have great customer service, a 100 percent money-back guarantee, try before you buy, and by having a party with your friends to get makeovers, you can earn free product.
The consultants offer free gifts with purchase, and they deliver to you. What more do you need? Oh, and the Mary Kay Charitable Foundation gives millions to help end domestic violence against women and children and also gives to cancer research to help find cures for cancers affecting women. Find a consultant today and be amazed. Thank you, Mary Kay!
Bobbi Brown is the best brand of makeup I have ever used! I have tried Urban Decay and hate it! Urban Decay made my skin irritated and red and looked very flaky! Ugh, waste of money. But when I tried Bobbi Brown, I fell in love. It looks so natural and stays on all day, even on hot summer days! Sometimes I forget I even have makeup on because it's so light but makes such a big difference! The foundation blends so well. It doesn't even look like I have makeup on! Thanks, Bobbi Brown, for making makeup amazing again!
Chanel S.A. is a French, privately held company owned by Alain and Gérard Wertheimer, grandsons of Pierre Wertheimer, who was an early business partner of the couturière Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel. I love this product, although I can't always buy it and resort to other brands due to the price. I have to say, as a whole, it has a positive effect on my lifestyle and skin. I look better, and people immediately react to the Chanel name if I'm wearing their nail polish or any product. So, it is worth buying, and one is bound to receive compliments!
I have used Chanel for years. I've worn the eye makeup for 24-hour shifts and have been told it still looked good at 3 a.m. I have sensitive skin and have tried other products but always go back to Chanel. I am careful to buy only what I need due to the expense. I'm 68 and love the results.
The Newcomers
LimeLight by Alcone has the most affordable products with the best results!
I am a licensed esthetician and professional makeup artist with a decade of experience, and I have found my match! The skincare is all-natural and chemical-free, yet it delivers results. My skin has never looked better since I started using these products a year ago, and the routine is very simple and concise for everyday use.
The makeup products are hands down incomparable! The botanical foundation is wax-based and mineral oil-free and provides the best coverage I've ever seen with a very minimal amount. They also have the perfect mascara and eyeliner, and their long-wearing lipsticks last without drying out the lips.
This product line is a dream!
I love wearing the extreme matte tint. It lasts all night, and I get lots of positive comments about the colors.
Another favorite has to be the Gelux Eyebrows. It's waterproof and comes with a convenient built-in angled brush, which allows you to perfect your eyebrows every time.
There are so many great products I could mention, but I'd be here all day! However, I must highlight the nail wraps. I've used nail wraps before, but these ones are amazing. They're made with 100% nail polish, including a base and top coat. They're so easy to apply yourself and last up to two weeks! The designs are fabulous.
Thank you, Malika!
I love the Urban Decay eyeshadow palettes! I have Naked, and I'm absolutely in love with it! I love all the colors they have and the fact that they don't test it on animals. The quality of the makeup is really good as well.
Another Urban Decay product I love is the Big Fatty mascara! My lashes look unbelievable after it!
A wide variety of colors for everyone's taste. You can go bold, natural, traditional, or downright unusual. Fantastic quality, and best of all, I can shop guilt-free because not only are they cost-conscious (compared to other department store brands), they are animal cruelty-free and offer vegan alternatives!
I hated my skin until I started using BeautiControl 20 years ago! I am one of those consumers who will try something new at the drop of a hat, but not BeautiControl. They have never given me a reason to look for another skincare line because not only were they good 20 years ago, but they continuously strive to be the best and are always at the forefront of new cutting-edge products, often pioneering the way for others to follow.
I love a company that never settles to be happy where they are, but is always looking to improve on an already great product and business. They are just as invested in their consultants as they are in their products and, even better, their customers! Now, with all the anti-aging products they offer that deliver results, they are by far the best skincare line with a price point that is affordable. I am so thankful they have set the standard for the skincare industry! I am so thankful because they changed my life and gave me skin that I am no longer embarrassed by.
Christian Dior SE, commonly known as Dior, is a European luxury goods company controlled and chaired by French businessman Bernard Arnault, who also heads LVMH – the world's largest luxury group. It's the best of all! I love all of their products, especially the Hydra Life moisturizer for dry skin conditions!
I love Dior products, especially eyeshadow quads and lip glosses. I think it is the best brand I've ever used.
I agree with all the comments.
Classic and natural line of cosmetics.
Exactly what you're looking for in a brand.
Me and my family have been using Oriflame products for the past 13 years. Even though I can afford much more expensive cosmetics, I have the utmost trust in Oriflame products. The first reason is that they are based on natural ingredients, and the second reason is that the results from using them are great. The third reason is that I love their packaging. It's of such great quality.
It's true what most people say: once you try Oriflame products, you fall in love and stick with them. I completely agree and highly recommend them. It's worth giving them a try, at the very least. The best thing is that even if you were to try them for a few days and use just a little bit, you could still return them if you didn't like them and receive a full refund!
Great semi-matte foundation. It stays on, doesn't change color, and no powder is necessary. It works great in warm and hot climates. You can't beat the price.
Hey! Your products are really awesome. I wish there were more for teens, as well as a good conditioner and shampoo for curls.
I love L'Oreal. All your products are flawless. I have all you make and still keep buying more. I love it so much, never change. I think you are number 1!
I am an ambassador with ActiDerm and joined in October 2015. Within a week of trying the high-quality products and seeing the difference they made to my skin, my confidence grew daily. I am totally addicted.
A brilliant company with such high values, it has already helped me pay off debts and all of Christmas. I've lost loads of inches with the incredible lipo sculpt wrap kits and pounds with 2 of the 7-Day Shreds! The skincare does exactly what it says it will, and I look and feel years younger and am constantly being complimented! As for the makeup, that's in a world of its own - it's beautiful on your skin, long-lasting, and gives a flawless finish. I love this incredible company and cannot wait to achieve all my goals and dreams. ActiDerm, in my opinion, is No. 1.
American-made company! This is the company that puts mascara on lashes and food on tables. That knows the value of a perfect lip, but still opens its mouth and speaks out against domestic violence and for women's financial independence. This is the company that not only brings beauty to doors but also opens them. The company that supports approximately 6 million representatives in over 100 countries. This is Avon. The company that for more than 125 years has stood for beauty, innovation, optimism, and above all, for women. I believe this with all of my heart.
Yves Saint Laurent YSL is a French luxury fashion house founded by Yves Saint Laurent and his partner, Pierre Bergé.
At Sephora, the employees at Step Hire treat you like you're their own. They love you at Sephora, and they're always giving out gifts and points to those who are members there. I just love the products there. The eyeshadows are so pigmented!
Like, one day, I want to work at Sephora.
I love Sephora. It's my number one spot. I love the Kat Von D Tattoo Foundation and liquid eyeliner, as well as the Becca Matte Primer. Their brushes are the best. There's a lot that I love about Sephora.
Brilliant, lasting colors, lots of choices, amazing mascaras. They have the best nail polish, and their brush kits are fantastic!
Too Faced is by far my favorite makeup brand. To start with, it has the cutest packaging ever. No one can disagree with that. Their eyeshadows are so pigmented, blendable, and creamy. I love that they come up with themes, and they smell amazing. They come up with color combinations I could never imagine would have worked great together. The lip products are also amazing. If I could only use one brand for the rest of my life, it would be Too Faced, as none of their products have ever disappointed.
I love this brand mainly because their products smell amazing! That's what I want! All their lip products are amazing! My favorite is Melted. 10/10.
Every single product from Max Factor suits my sensitive skin. The quality is great! Max Factor has a lovely cosmetic smell.
I have tried other brands as well, but nothing beats Max Factor. I have been using Max Factor since I was 18 years old, and I have been satisfied with their products.
Pan Stik is the best foundation ever made! It's not sold in the US anymore, but you can order it online. I love it!
It lasts longer than other products.
The Body Shop has always been value for money in my opinion. I have very dry skin and eczema, so I have to be careful what I use. I love the bathroom products, and the makeup is just out of this world! Gift-wise, they cater to all. They possibly could do more for men, but I'm sure they will in time.
I am a Body Shop junkie. I have been since the '90s when I loved the Dewberry range. I've used their makeup for over 15 years, my first item being a lip and cheek stain.
I love it, love the products for my super-sensitive skin, and the ethics, quality, and value for money are second to none!
This brand is associated with Lancome and L'Oreal, so you're getting the same research and development and quality at a budget price. Great foundations, especially the BB cream. It gives a nice healthy glow to the skin, and people stop and ask me what I'm doing for my skin, and I'm 53!
Also, found it around the world - even in Mongolia, and it was a lifesaver there.
Bounce blushes, lip glosses in the shape of lipstick, lots of makeup in stick form, Baby Lips, amazing mascaras, and great prices! Same quality as more expensive ones and sometimes better quality! This should definitely be in the top 25 or 20, not 60!
I love the skincare and nutrition products! I am a teacher and always got sick several times a year until I started using the immunity booster drink every day. I am so much healthier and look better with Arbonne products. Prices are comparable, especially with the discounts and hostess benefits!
Hosting a party allows you to get up to 80% off and a free $50 product! I love the green commitment Arbonne has and that all products are pure, safe, and beneficial. I lost my mom to cancer, and I am so glad that Arbonne offers products that are free of many harmful ingredients. Arbonne has given me a healthier option with personal hygiene products and nutrition for myself and my family. Thank you, Arbonne!
