TikTok has become an integral part of our lives – so much so that we consult it to discover whether beauty products are worth our time and money. It’s no surprise that the social media platform now dictates trends, and a makeup product can go from being unknown to virtually impossible-to-get overnight.
Many beauty items have become popular as a result of TikTok, and although some have rightfully received recognition, others, not so much. Below is our ranking of TikTok’s most beloved products, from worst to best.
Dyson Airwrap Complete Styler
Now, we’re not saying that the Dyson Airwrap is the worst product of them all – we’re just asking: is it even worth-it? You’re spending thousands for an innovative product, granted. But it’s possible for you to achieve the same result with just a t-shirt and a good night’s sleep. So, it’s not the worst – but it shouldn’t have been hyped up the way it was.
Curly-Q Heatless Curl Set
I’ve personally been victimized by this set, and when I tell you it made for the most uncomfortable sleep I’ve had in years, I mean it. Sure, it gave me the most beautiful and luscious curls when I woke up. But the process of sleeping with it wrapped around my hair? Not worth it. Probably because I bought a cheap one – so, if you wish to go for this set, I’d recommend a higher-quality one.
Maybelline Sky High Waterproof Mascara
I don’t consider myself a mascara connoisseur, but I believe TikTok users are. The amount of people gushing over Maybelline’s Sky High Waterproof Mascara made me almost want to buy it, just because of how it makes your lashes more voluminous, fuller and thicker – and I could literally see the huge difference it makes. But since I am blessed with stout-looking lashes, I rely on falsies. Don’t let that stop you from trying it though, as this mascara may be your next holy grail.
L’Oréal Paris Infallible 24H Fresh Wear Powder Foundation
This foundation was everywhere on TikTok. Every other video featured it. It’s basically a dupe for KVD Apple Foundation, and you know it’s good when there’s a drugstore equivalent to it. The L’Orèal Paris Infallible Powder Foundation is the most sought-after product on the market. The powder glides like a dream on your skin and it’s extremely full-coverage as well, hiding all the blemishes and pigmentation.
Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Contour Wand
Every makeup lover on TikTok has this, and I envy them wholeheartedly. I’m not one to contour my face, but if I had this product in hand, I’d contour everywhere. The Charlotte Tilbury Hollywood Contour Wand gives the most natural-looking shadow and has the best formula for liquid contour. When blending it with a brush, it blows out beautifully, creating this soft shadow right above your cheekbone, making it look more chiseled.
Dior Backstage Rosy Glow Blush in Pink
Kylie Jenner posted a video on her YouTube channel of her makeup artist using this particular blush that looked perfectly pink on her cheeks. Every single entity scoured the Internet wanting to know more about the blush – and lo and behold, it’s the Dior Backstage Rosy Glow Blush in Pink. Despite it looking so cool-tone, when applied on the apples of your cheeks, the colour looks stunning and gives off a beautiful flushed appearance, regardless of skin tone.
NYX Professional Makeup Shine Loud Pro Pigment Lip Shine
This liquid lipstick and lip gloss duo had us in a chokehold and we knowingly embraced it. The NYX Shine Loud Pro Pigment Lip Shine is THE transfer-proof liquid lipstick on the market. Not even oil can break down this liquid lipstick – it’s virtually indestructible, and you can wear a mask and not be afraid of it sliding everywhere. It comes in all shades imaginable and should be your next go-to liquid lipstick.
Olaplex
On TikTok, I always see people who have the shiniest and most glorious-looking hair using Olaplex products. Apparently, it’s magic in a bottle, because people who use it have the most beautiful hair. Users mostly have the Olaplex No. 7 Bonding Oil in their haircare routine, as it’s supposed to repair your hair and make it super soft. It’s the most talked-about haircare product on TikTok – and rightfully so.
Gua Sha
Gua Sha offers a lot of health benefits, which is why it’s at the top of our rankings. Not only is it therapeutic to use, but it also relieves tightness of the muscles and alleviates tension on the face. It also relieves headaches and migraines and swelling as well. Gua Sha has since been the ‘IT’ beauty tool that every skincare lover should incorporate into their routine.
Dior Addict Lip Glow Oil
The Dior Addict Lip Glow Oil trumps any lip gloss – especially in the shade of cherry oil. Using this will make your lips look super plump, and it adds the perfect pink to your pouters. You literally do not even need a lip liner and lipstick to wear this. You can apply this lip oil on its own and it’ll still look perfect on your lips.
Rare Beauty Soft Pinch Liquid Blush
Last, but certainly not least – Rare Beauty. Selena Gomez must have added some wizardry in the Soft Pinch Liquid Blush, because it’s in everyone’s vanity. It blends beautifully and the formula is to die for, making it so much easier to blend. Not to mention the array of colours, which is stunning to look at. A little definitely goes a long way, allowing this product to last way longer – so it’s incredibly worth the money.
