ABSOLUTE WORST MAKEUP OF THE MOST MID YEAR YET...so far

[music] the worst makeup of 2026 so far. This is all makeup that I pretty much hate. I was, you know, overlooking what I've tried so far this year. Of course, because I did just post the best makeup of 2026 so far if you are looking for something more positive. But of course, while searching through what I've tested this year, I also pulled out some of the worst. Now, overall, my thoughts on the 2026 launches so far, not a bad year of makeup. I actually don't have a ton of products that I absolutely loathe. But it's also not a good year for makeup either. It's the year of mid makeup so far. So, I don't know. I've been saying this. I feel like the makeup labs, they're getting good. Like it is hard to find horrible makeup nowadays, which is a good thing. But that I've tried so many products. Of course, there are products that I do absolutely not like. So, I'm going to share some of the worst with you today. And as always, these are just my opinions. You are free to love these products. And if you do disagree with me, oh my gosh, feel free to fight me down in the comments respectfully. [laughter] I get it. You know, there's products that a lot of people don't like that I love, but these they did not work out for me. So, let's go ahead and get started. And I know some of you are going to fight me about these because these are a pair that went very very viral and I don't I don't get why. It is the Maybelline Lifter foundation and concealer. Now, the better of the two is the foundation. You'll see she is thick. Like, the foundation when I first put it on, it really isn't bad at all. It feels nice, light, and airy. So, it is going to look good today. I was looking at all of the foundations that I've tried this year, and hey, the foundations have been pretty good this year. There haven't been any horror stories really. This one is one of the worst horror stories and it's truly not that bad. It just doesn't have great wear. It breaks up especially around my mouth within a few hours and it just doesn't wear down very nice and it ended up looking cakey and all broken up at the end of the day. So, I definitely don't like that because when it comes to foundation, the wear is extremely important. And this one just doesn't deliver on that front. But when it's first applied, honestly, it doesn't look bad and it feels nice and lightweight. But I can't stand to have this on my face for more than 3 hours because it prematurely breaks up just comparing it to how my other foundations wear. So I if I have dry skin and this is breaking up on me, I can't even imagine having oily skin. So if it doesn't wear well on me, I don't know that it's going to wear well on many other people. So if you want a foundation that's going to fool you and it's going to look really good at the beginning of the day and then look really bad just halfway through the day, this is the one for you. And I mean, I'm even looking at it right now, like it just it doesn't sit on this skin like I like my foundations to sit. So, it's just kind of there. The thing with my videos now, you guys, when I film my video, this is the makeup that I'm pretty much wearing for the rest of the day because this is the only window I have when my baby is sleeping to film these videos. So, I'm going to try to make this makeup look good. Next up, I have two concealers. So, I'm going to put one on each eye. Obviously, we have the Maybelline Lifter Concealer, which is even worse than the foundation, actually. Like 10 times worse than the foundation. I mean, I talked about I talked about the foundation wearing bad. This wears even more terribly. It is extremely creasy. It will age you in a matter of hours. And every time I wear this, I'm like, "Oh, I need like Botox or something." because yeah, this is not flattering. And it's a drier concealer as well, so it looks dry on my under eyes. Side note, just for concealer application lately, I've been enjoying using my BK Beauty concealer brush on my under eyes and then taking my beauty blender just to I don't know, almost warm it into the skin, massage it out, get rid of the excess product. But see it. It looks dry already on initial application, especially in the inner corner area. Like this is horrible. It's dry and then it will continue to just like shrivel up your eyes. Do not buy this. Like the foundation, I feel like I can make it work. I can stand it at least for the first few hours. The concealer, I cannot. It's awful. This one I almost didn't put in this video because like it's not the worst thing to have touched my face, but it is a big fat disappointment. This is from about face. It's their illusionist skin focused concealer and I just think one of the reasons I am so disappointed in this concealer because it is not its foundation counterpart. So the illusionist foundation from about face is absolutely fantastic. It's one of my favorites. So, I had high expectations for this and I thought it was going to be related to the foundation, right? And it just isn't to me. This concealer, once again, is a lot more dry. Now, when I first apply it onto the skin, I'm like, "Ooh, so milky and and creamy, just like the foundation, but then I blend it out, it completely loses the coverage. It's looks dry and then just like the Maybelline, it creases. It just does not remind me of the foundation at all, which makes me really sad. And I don't need a full coverage concealer by any means. I don't mind a light coverage concealer, but the coverage on this just completely disappears. It's not like the foundation. Okay, I wanted it to be like the foundation. It is not. I don't recommend this concealer. It's not the worst thing I've put on my under eyes, but I really am holding a grudge against this concealer because it could have been so great if it was anything like the foundation. Like this I was expecting to kind of be like Natasha Denona High Glam because to me that's how the foundation feels. But yeah, it's just not. It looks okay right now, but it also doesn't wear well. It probably didn't deserve a spot in this video, but like I said, I'm holding a grudge from it and I needed to say my piece. Next product that I have is from Makeup Revolution. This is their powder pops which had so much potential. I loved the idea of this. The execution soul sucking, moisture sucking. This came in those trendy colors like you this brightening shade. They also had pink. They also had yellow. The color correcting tones. But baby, this is so dry looking. You can literally with this see the powder particles sitting on the skin. It sucks the moisture out of the skin and then it emphasizes fine lines. And then baby, if you have any texture, if you have any dry patches, this emphasizes it. Just goes on and shows off that dryness that you have going on. So, I should probably use this a little more sparingly. But anyways, I just wanted to show you. I'm trying to find that balance of trying to make my makeup actually look good, but also show the truth, the horror behind the products, especially on the nose now. It just looks so powdery. Hopefully, a good setting spray will fix this. But it literally sits on top of the skin, looks dry and powdery, and attaches itself to texture and dryness that you did not know was there before. So, if that sounds fantastic to you, go ahead and pick those up. We're We're doing okay right now. I just did my bronzer and blush, which I didn't have any that were horrible for the year. So, the base is looking like not a good makeup day, but it's fine. Okay, so I'm going to finish off with highlighter. And I just did not understand the hype on these Kosas shiny object powder highlighters. I mean, I want you to just look at the texture of this product. This is how textured it makes my face look when I apply it. It also grabs on to my base and just looks chunky and unflattering. And I thought, okay, at the very least, like I can use these on the eyes, which is true. But you see how pretty it looks on my finger. It just doesn't translate like that on the eyelid. It is a big fat disappointment. I got every shade in PR and you know I don't like the product when I don't hold on to every shade. I normally will only hold on to two shades because I give two shades a chance, right? So I'll try the one shade and I'll be like, I'm not loving it and then I'll I'll reconfirm with a second shade just to make sure it's not that first shade. But by swatch, you know, I don't understand. These look so pretty. But with application, first of all, it's hard panned already. It's one of those products that hard pans so easily. And I just all I see is glitter right now. I'm being a bit dramatic, but like it's glittery. You see it emphasizing my texture. It looks chunky. Like I feel like I can see the chunks of product. It is just the opposite of how it swatches, which I don't understand. So yeah, this is not a high performing product at all. And I just feel like it's 2026 highlighters. Labs can create a good one with their eyes closed. So what the heckers is this? This feels very outdated to me. I think, you know, they tried to make a trendy formula, but the performance of it looks outdated and old to me just with how it's emphasizing the texture on the face, how there are literally glitter chunks. Like, who wants glitter? You know, the next two products I have are actually glittery, but a little bit more intentionally glittery. This is just it's not it. It's not doing it for me. I feel bad putting these in this video, but these are the most creasy things [laughter and gasps] that I've ever put on my eyelid. These are from Beauty Creations. These are the Flawless Stay Shimmer Veils, and I really wanted to like these because these were a potential dupe for the Fenty version of these, but the performance is just it's not the same. It's not as good. It has, you know, that putty consistency. Honestly, it's quite fun to play with and they're very, very pretty. And you know what? If you like to use a product like this for body, this is fine. You will enjoy it. It actually is a very good dupe of Fenty in that way. But what I like about the Fenty is the versatility of it. For me, being the old person that I am, the only place I'm putting glitter really is on my eyelid for the daily, right? There's been very very few occasions where I'd cover my body in glitter since I hit the age past 22. But anyways, so for me, where I'm putting a product like this is on the eyelids. And these are so oily. You can actually almost feel them in the swatch here. They crease like crazy on me. And I don't have oily eyelids. So, you know, a product is extremely creasy [gasps] when it creases on me. So, I find this product pretty unusable and unwarable for my uses. Again, if you just put it all over the body and the chest, you'll be fine with this. But I was looking forward to using these on the eyes, which is where I also like to use the Fenty, and the Fenty doesn't get creasy. This one does. So, unfortunately, using it how I use it, the performance was awful. This next product I wouldn't recommend for anybody. There's not a soul that this is worth purchasing. So, this is from Milk Makeup. What is this even? the cooling water jelly shimmer. It seems like they really hit the viral jackpot when it came to the cooling jelly blushes. So then they came out with this useless glitter stick, okay, in the jelly form. And let me just show you. Okay, so these glitters at least show up from beauty creations. There is like three specks of glitter on my arm right now. And milk makeup is not cheap. So, what are you going to do with this? I don't even Is it supposed to be for the face? I tried it on the eyes. It just mushed my eyeshadow together. The face is going to mess up my makeup. And on the body, like there's barely anything. There are so many better products out there. And like the beauty creations I feel bad about because you know what? It's affordable and you can make it work. This is a product that you can't even make work and it's not even affordable. So, I think the demo spoke in of itself. It's like like what the heck is is going on here? Now, you know, this is the year of eyeshadow sticks for me. And so, also for brands, okay, they've been launching a lot of eyeshadow sticks. And um Anastasia Beverly Hills, ABH managed to launch probably the worst eyeshadow stick I've ever tried. Definitely at the price point they are selling them. And I was excited about these because the colors they had were phenomenal. These are the glider shadow sticks. These couldn't be any more unflattering and unworkable. I mean, truly, these are dry. They look dry. Like, I'm thinking, how am I going to make these work today? I'm going to start off with the shade lilac pearl. Come a little closer. Like, what? Not smooth. They're tugging at my eyelid. [sighs] Like so dry looking. No, honestly like I've specifically kept these sticks around in my collection just to show you just for these worst of videos and it will stay in my collection till the end of the year for the end of the year favorites because I know these are going for the end of the year worst products because I know these are going to be in here as well. How disgusting does this look? Chunky, dry, awful. All right. And I thought this was going to be the prettiest shade. Okay. I am going to try and fix it. Going to take my little brush. I'm going to blend out these edges. [snorts] There's no saving this. Okay. Okay. And then I'm going to use amethyst. Let us blend this out. Okay, this is just skip these. Skip these by all means. These are actually one of the worst eyeshadow sticks that I've ever used. They're the most unflattering and horrible looking. Like this is the best I could do. Truly, this is the one that's just gonna ruin the look. I guess this is a web. I'm going to go in with, believe it or not, even though I don't like this product, [gasps] I'm going to go in with the shiny objects by Kosas just right over top to try and pretend like this this monstrosity did not happen. Okay, we're just going to literally cover that up. And you know it's bad when this makes the makeup look better. Like look how much smoother that looks automatically. It's not my eyelids. It's this product. Now, I was thinking I know I've tried bad mascaras this year, but I truly could not remember the bad mascaras. So, I know the one of the ones from Milani that I tried was not good, but can't remember. So, I'm going to fix this a a little bit. Nothing crazy. I'm going to leave this as the base, but I'm going to put on a little bit of some real eyeliner and mascara. And I think that will fix this up a little bit. A little mascara, a little liner. We saved it. The next product that I have is from Too Faced. These are the chocolate sole sculpting and defining pencils. Now, these I think are Too Faced version of the Makeup Forever Artistry Pencils. So, they're multi-use. You don't have to use them just on the lips, but the lips is the only place these are appropriate. So, these are some of the shades that I have. Obviously, uh chocolate inspired. These are very odd colors to use other than the lips. I've tried these as liners. They fade away too easily. Like they don't set. You don't want an eyeliner that's not going to set. Uh I've tried them on the face. What am I gonna do with these skinny little pencils? So the only decent shade to use on the face is chocolate sule. And you're going to run through this pencil so fast if you like draw it on your face. So the only way that I really could use this I would say is as a nose contour. And you can draw directly down, but I think using the BK 205 brush is going to be the best use for that. So, that's like about the only thing I'd use these for. And then the problem with using them as lip liner is they really don't last at all. Like, they're fine. They can get the job done if you need a little bit of color, but these pencils to me have proven pretty worthless, honestly. I mean, if I were to pack these with me, like, I'm not using these as bronzer. I'm not using this as a lip liner, a nose door, and a bronzer. So, yeah, the shades for being multi-use are weird. Chocolate soule is the only good one, and they will fade. So yeah, you can use chocolate soule kind of as a background like how I just did, but don't waste your money on these. I do think the Makeup Forever version of these are a lot better. Next up, this one's like more of a shade problem that I have because this is heinous. This is the CoverGirl Atlas lip stain in the shade Honey Sculpt. Let me show you the pictures online of this color. Okay. And even the packaging, right, it turns like yellowy orange. So, do not even consider letting this touch your lips. You can see in the tiniest little bit, it's turning pure yellow. So, the shade is horrendous. When it comes to these markers, the way that they look on the skin is going to look different when they hit your actual lips. And I have quite pigmented natural lips. So, I don't love lip markers because they completely change in hue, but like this shade is so awful. It's so off-putting and it does not look like what they advertised at all. So, I really really dislike that. I tried to [snorts] like make it somewhat presentable, but it's like the most awful yellowy orange shade. And then this is actually one of the most disgusting, heinous looking things I put on my lips. So, this is the MAC like squirt formula where it's that balm gloss hybrid. Well, it's a gloss in a stick form. And so, they launched this new shimmer collection of iridescent shades. What do they call these? the squirt plumping gloss sticks and I got the whole collection. I kept two because the two were so ugly and they sell like blue and these sold out. That's the thing that I'm like who's buying these because these sold out. The formula is fine but these colors they are too pigmented. So I'm going to use Squirt Sparks the name. I'm sorry. Anyways, which is the green look. It's It's great. So, I imagine if you get the blue, it's blue. The pink The pink is pink. So, the formula is fine. What do I look like wearing this? This is awful. The color range of this awful. Hideous. I put this on, I was like, "What on earth? Why didn't they warn me?" Because I mean, I know, right? You put on something green, duh. But a lot of times with makeup like this iridescent stuff, it's like a very subtle shimmer and it's really just for the fun of it and to hydrate the lips. Now, this is green. So, I suppose if you want green iridescent lips, go for it. But I'm absolutely shocked that these sold out. And I think they are very ugly. That's just my opinion. Maybe you can rock green lips, but this is me disparaging myself. The green lips don't work on me. The next product that I have is from House Labs. This is quite popular and I just cannot vibe with it. This is the Atomic Shake Lip Lacquer from House Labs. I just find this product to be very unflattering on my lips. So, the name of this is sheer blush. There's nothing sheer about this. It smells chemically. It lowkey burns. And it's supposed to be like a vinyl lip, right? So, it's intended to be shiny but last a long time. But this once it dries, you guys, it it dries out my lips and then emphasizes every single line on the lips. So, if you love the idea of this, like long lasting but has a little bit of shine, do not waste your money on House Labs. Buy the Maybelline vinyl ink. Those are really, really, really good and much more flattering than the House Labs. Like 20 billion times more flattering than the House Labs. I just can't get over the name of this being sheer blush because what is sheer about this? Like, look. It actually is looking decent today, but on most days it's not flattering. Like I don't want this on my lips. I hate when that happens. When I'm trying to make a point and then the makeup wants to like look kind of good, but just take my word for it, okay? I've demoed it before and you've seen it where it emphasizes every line. Anyways, I'm excited about the next product cuz it's funny. It's a little controversial right now. Okay, the last product that I have to talk about are these guys, which I tried last month. These are the CoverGirl Yummy Big Oil Sticks. I mean, it it only just launched, but like I talked about this last month, but right now they're going through a little bit of controversy because Michaela, she on a Tik Tok used these as a blush and then CoverGirl was like, "That's not how you eat it." Um because it's for the lips. But like I remember when I got like I don't want to like stand up for her completely, but like in the distance I got to stand up for her because what do you mean this isn't for the cheeks? What do you mean this isn't for the cheeks? Now when I got this in PR last month, I remember even keeping the they give like a a little cardboard piece of paper just for info and stuff. I remember keeping that with me and like reading through it to see how you use this and if it's for the cheeks and lips and I think I threw mine away now, but it's must have only said lips because I rewatched my demo. I only use it for the lips, but I was like, "What the heck?" And I remember getting this and being kind of confused. But yeah, don't use this on the cheeks because it's oil. And I did see there are some uh displays at Walmart or there were some displays at Walmart that advertise these for cheeks and lips, but these are very obviously when you feel them for the lips. And like it's fine. It's like a sheer layer of oil. A little hydrating, but it just doesn't make sense because you're telling me if I'm using this stupid sheer little oil layer here with a tiny little bit of color, which just is so stupid useless. You think I'm going to put this in my purse? I can't fit this in my pocket. This is going to take up half the purse. When I went to pull these for the video, like this took up half my drawer between the two of them. This is not good for storage either. So dumb. So so dumb. And I was swatching like my first impression on this. And I was like, what? What is this? Why? It's like all this all this real estate for this. The product itself, even though this isn't the worst of video, it's like not horrible, but it doesn't warrant this much real estate. The packaging, everything about it is just like it doesn't make sense. It's a gag. It's a gag. It feels like a gag. Anyways, all right, you guys. That is all I have for today's video. This [laughter] is a full face of products that I think just were the worst launches of this year. Luckily, since I didn't have like a complete full full face of terrible products, the makeup turned out wearable for the rest of the day. But I probably will be itching to take this off in a few hours. But like I said before, if you love these products, feel free to let me know in the comments. Share why you like these products. But if you want products that I do recommend, I did just a few days ago upload the best makeup of 2026. But of course, I had to round it out with the worst makeup of 2026 so far. And yeah, these ones are taking the cake. They're not great, but it's not the worst year of makeup, honestly. Like, these products, most of them were workable. But anyways, these are the products that I've been hating the most this year. I hope you guys enjoyed this video and found it entertaining. And I will have these products linked down below, not for you to shop. I always get comments like, "Why would you you're just trying to make money." Like, no, I have to link these anyways for my husband to edit these and make my thumbnails. And so, I just copy and paste them down below. I'll have them linked down below, but don't chop them if you want to look at the I don't know why you would click on them. Anyways, I'll see you in the next video. Bye, guys. Have a good one. It's delicious.
