... Read moreAs beauty lovers increasingly seek out products that deliver on both quality and appeal, the question arises: are trendy base products truly effective? This review examines fan-favorite items like Too Faced's Born This Way Multi-Use Sculpting Concealer and ELF's Hydrating Camo Concealer, which are raved about across social media platforms. Too Faced’s concealer, priced at $36, is noted for its high coverage and smooth finish, making it a staple for many users. However, its price tag may not fit everyone's budget. On the other hand, ELF’s offerings—including the Hydrating Camo Concealer and Halo Glow Liquid Filter—are much more affordable at $7 and $14, respectively. Users appreciate the latter for its dewy finish and lightweight feel, perfect for those wanting a fresh, luminous look without the heaviness. Understanding what works for your skin type is essential. While ELF’s concealer benefits those with dry skin due to its hydrating properties, Too Faced's formula may work better for those looking for long-lasting coverage. When making choices, consider skin type, budget, and desired finish. It's also wise to check reviews and swatches before purchasing. By evaluating these factors, you can determine which base products will enhance your makeup routine, ensuring you make informed decisions that cater to your specific beauty needs.

Is it worth it or is it trendy?
As an acne prone girly I fall into the trendy products on TikTok all too often. And 9/10 products end up being a complete FAIL! It’s so hard to find products that work when it feels like anything you put on your skin is just going to cause a worse reaction. I’ve tried dozens and dozens of products
