27 Sephora Products That Should Be In The Beauty Hall Of Fame
Beauty that bats 1,000.
1. Glow Recipe's Watermelon Glow Niacinamide Dewy Flush, which is more of a skincare serum than it is makeup! This serum blush contains jojoba-coated pigments that, yes, add a cute flush to the skin — but also help moisturize the skin deeply for a dewy, bouncy effect.
Sephora
Promising review: "LOVE LOVE LOOOOVE!! I was literally STALKING this product and got it as soon as it was early access. If you're a natural/light makeup girlie this is definitely worth it for you. I want the other color, too, lol!!! It's so glowy and gorgeous; it's definitely worth it. I have never been a Glow Recipe girl, but this is def a worth-it product." — skitty21
2. Saie's Glowy Super Gel to bring the pearl skin trend to the forefront of your beauty routine. This water-based gel is full of hydrating glycerin and squalane to plump the skin, while its reflective properties add a radiant glow to the complexion. Plus, it's super lightweight and multiuse — you can mix it into your moisturizer or foundation, use it as a primer, or quickly apply it to the body for an all-over glow!
Sephora
Promising review:"This is the best glowy primer and base! Great for my dry skin and keeps me looking healthy and glowy all day long. Highly recommend." — cs1211
3. Summer Fridays' Lip Butter Balm will wrap your lips in silky hydration that lasts for a while, thanks to shea and murumuru seed butters. It comes in a few semi-sheer colors and leaves behind a chic, glossy (no, not sticky — glossy) finish.
Sephora
4.
The Inkey List's Salicylic Acid Acne + Blackhead Cleanser so you can say goodbye to comedones once and for all. This is perfect for anyone who is looking to minimize oil production in their T-zone (thanks to salicylic acid 2%) while soothing the skin (hi, allantoin 0.5%).
Sephora
Promising review:"I love this product so much! I'm already on my third bottle, and my skin has cleared up so much." — izzy6760
5. Patrick Ta's Major Sculpt Crème Contour & Powder Bronzer Duo contains all of Patrick Ta's secrets for long-lasting wear. You're supposed to use the powder bronzer first and then "set" it with the crème contour — this creates a dewier finish than if you were to use crème then powder while still offering a bronzed-goddess-glow that lasts all day.
Sephora
Promising review:"LOVE this contour! The pigment is amazing and blends so nicely on my skin. It plays well with my other makeup and gives me a nice contour. Both the crème and the powder are AMAZING!" — CaseyMarie123
6. Makeup by Mario's Master Mattes Eyeshadow Palette: The Neutrals, because it's the first cool-toned palette that has made my jaw drop in years. This is the palette if you've done your seasonal color analysis and need something neutral for your winter or summer undertones.
Sephora
Promising review:"I loved the original master mattes and its formula so I was very excited for this! It's basically a cooler version of the original, and it's become a new everyday staple. The formula and colors are everything I could've wanted!" — Nanulul
7. Gisou's Honey Infused Hair Oil allows you to hydrate, eliminate frizz, smooth your hairstyle, and add a sweet honey scent all at once. Plus, it works for all hair types, be it fine, thick, coarse, straight, wavy, curly, or coily!
Sephora
Promising review:"This is the best hair oil I've used so far!! My hair was a bit frizzy and just not laying right one night, and I applied this hair oil, and it completely changed the look and feel of my hair! So so much better than before!" — meredith08
8. Sephora Collection's Outrageous Plump Hydrating Lip Gloss because you deserve to enjoy pillowy-soft and plump lips with a high dose of gloss and a touch of color.
Sephora
Promising review:"All-time favorite!! I keep buying this worldwide whenever I walk into Sephora! It's the perfect shade, and I use it a lot. Prefer it to some other higher end products." — lanzikens
9. Nécessaire's The Body Wash, aka everything you need to turn your showers into a spa-like experience. This body wash contains AHAs, BHAs, *and* PHAs to gently exfoliate, and calming hinoki oil to ensure skin feels nourished after every wash — not tight!
Sephora
Promising review:"I've been using the eucalyptus one for years and thought I loved it, but after this, I'm never going back. The scent is divine. I've already tried to find perfume and candles with hinoki. It also works. I had some uneven skin on my chest that's totally cleared up. New holy grail for me." — meesh22
10. Drunk Elephant's D-Bronzi Bronzing Drops with Peptides, because TikTokers can't stop raving about the otherworldly radiance they get from this product. If you want the look of a bronzy glow without the sun damage, this is the product for you.
Sephora
Promising review:"Babes, honestly buy it. Love the bronze look, and it blends perfectly with a moisturizer. Also, if you're debating over the price, it's worth it. Mine has lasted over a year I still have product left. Like, it's shocking me!" — LadyLondon4
11. Olaplex's No. 3 Hair Repair Perfector so you can restore your hair back to its natural glory! This product contains Olaplex's Bond Building Technology, which repairs bonds that break due to things like heat styling, color damage, or chemical services.
Sephora
Promising review:"If you have curly hair (mine is 3b, 3c), this is a MUST have. I had heat damage, and it brought my curls back to life! I personally keep two bottles at home at a time because it's just that good." — raquelll97
12. Youth To The People's Yerba Mate Resurfacing Energy Facial because it's what I rely on whenever I need a facial-like glow in an instant — and I'll never stop recommending it to anyone willing to listen. In a quick TWO MINUTES (you read that right), this facial uses active enzymes, micro-exfoliants, and caffeine to whisk away dead skin cells and help radiate the skin.
Sephora
Promising review:"I really love this facial scrub. I was worried that it would be too abrasive on my skin, but it wasn't. It scrubs away my dead skin without causing irritation, unlike some other similar products. I also love the smell and the way my skin feels afterward. I follow it up with a few moisturizers and my skin is glowing. Happy I gave it a try!" — Lizzy2025
13. Make Up For Ever's Artist Color Pencil so you can line your lips, fill in your brows, or create dimension around your eyes, all with the same pencil! This multiuse pencil is a makeup lover's dream and comes in a high-impact, buttery formula.
Sephora
14. Shiseido's Ultimate Sun Protector Face and Body Lotion SPF 60+ Sunscreen because protecting your skin from the sun doesn't always have to mean a white cast and gritty texture. This sunscreen glides on clear and soaks into the skin, leaving behind a radiant glow.
Sephora
Promising review:"I love this sunscreen! Goes on beautifully and blends in without a white cast. Tried cheaper ones, but nothing compares! Amazing to combat Florida sun and my sensitive Tretinoin skin." — vanillakisses
15. Merit's Great Skin Instant Glow Serum that's chock full of niacinamide and hyaluronic acid to help brighten and hydrate the skin in a few swipes. It's the perfect prep product for your five-minute makeup routine.
Sephora
Promising review: "I decided to try this based on the reviews, and I am so impressed. What a great find! I am so pleased with the results and the difference in how my skin looks. This serum leaves skin soft, smooth, and supple. It goes on easily and has no scent. I can use this with other products or alone. It truly does what it says. Love it!" — frangerine
17. Dieux's Instant Angel Lipid-Rich Barrier Repair Cream has ceramides to plump all skin types — even sensitive skin! This cream is one of my go-tos for when my thirsty, redness-prone skin is in desperate need of a surge of moisture.
Sephora
Promising review:"This is my first review ever because this product is just that amazing! I have extremely dry skin, so it's hard to find a moisturizer that works for me. This lotion is AMAZING!! And I can feel the difference!" — nx6791
18. The Ordinary's Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner, which contains glycolic acid, one of the most popular alpha-hydroxy acids to help melt away dullness and dead skin cells. To help offset any irritation, this formula includes Tasmanian pepperberry derivative plus aloe vera to help instantly soothe the skin.
Sephora
Promising review:"I love using The Ordinary Glycolic Acid Toner! It's been a game changer for my skincare routine, especially with helping to fade my post-acne marks. After consistent use, my skin feels smoother and more even, and the dark spots have noticeably lightened. It's gentle enough for regular use, yet effective enough to make a visible difference. Highly recommend it if you're dealing with post-acne pigmentation or just want brighter, clearer skin!" — alimka14
19. Davines' Solu Clarifying Shampoo is my absolute favorite for getting rid of gunk on my scalp and strands that accumulate throughout the week. This gorgeous-smelling formula contains buckwheat extract, which is chock full of amino acids and antioxidants to help fortify and protect your hair from environmental stressors.
Sephora
Promising reviews:"Leaves my thick color-processed hair so light and soft, and my scalp feels less oily. I wash my hair 2–3 times a week on swim days and use lots of leave-in treatments. This works way better than shampoos to dechlorinate and clarify." — LottaLei
20. Charlotte Tilbury's Airbrush Flawless Finish Setting Powder so you can rock #CloudSkin, no matter what. This super-fine powder helps blur the skin without looking too cakey and helps reduce oil production throughout the day!
Sephora
Promising review:"Blurs the skin beautifully and makes my skin look so smooth. Great for setting my eyes as well. Prevents creasing and stays in place all day. This is my go-to pressed powder!" — SunnyD418
21. Rare Beauty's Soft Pinch Liquid Blush, because this is one of the best blushes for adding intense color while feeling weightless on the skin. Seriously, just one teensy drop is enough to add a flush to both cheeks, and it lasts for hours.
Sephora
Promising review:"I love this blush. I usually go for powder blush, and I was scared to try liquid blush, but I'm amazed with the results. Easy to blend and has a good amount of pigment. Would highly recommend." — gursimran13
22. Laneige's Bouncy + Firm Sleeping Mask just in case slugging with Vaseline may be too much for you, but you still want something thicc to soak into your skin overnight. This mask contains a proprietary peony and collagen complex to help increase skin firmness, hydro-melt glow capsules to help support the lipid barrier, and hyaluronic acid for a boost in hydration.
Sephora
Promising review:"I struggle with keeping up with a skincare routine, so I was looking for a product to 'do it all.' I just use one other serum and this sleeping mask at night, and I wake up the next morning with soft, glowy skin. Definitely will repurchase." — tcmchelen
23. Clinque's Almost Lipstick in "black honey" that will go down in beauty history as one of the most versatile lip shades. This color looks amazing on practically everyone *and* it has an emollient-rich formula that creates a balmy, shiny finish.
Sephora
Promising review:"This is my go-to lipstick whenever I want a pretty sheer dark cherry lip. I can describe it as biting into a cherry and having residue on your lips. I love it; it's my third time buying it." — jacquelineb25
24. Ouai's St. Bart's Hair and Body Mist, because you deserve to smell like you're on a bougie vacation, even while you're stuck in your office. You can use this as the final part of your hair routine for locks that smell fresh all day, or spritz it onto your bod whenever you need a fragrance reset.
Sephora
Promising review:"Smells amazing. This product smells like you're on a private island sipping coconut water out of a coconut on the beach with a bowl of fruit sitting next to you. Very distinct smell, and I promise it lasts all day long." — beachpreppy
26. Dae's Cactus Fruit 3-in-1 Styling Cream will make it quick and easy to lay your edges or create a slicked-back bun that lasts for hours. While other waxes can leave hair feeling crunchy, this styling cream contains dragon fruit and prickly pear seed oil to help lock in moisture and create a lustrous shine.
Sephora
Promising review:"I absolutely love this wand. It does a good job of holding my thick hair back when I do hairstyles. Even when I leave my hair out, I like to run the wand on my ends to smoothen them. And it smells so good. I was thinking about what new hair perfume to buy since my Gisou perfume is running out, but I realized that this product also works as a hair scent. It's so multifunctional, making it well worth the price." — kaziana
Price: $18
27. And Dr. Jart+'s Ceramidin Skin Barrier Moisturizing Mask, because sometimes using a mask doesn't have to mean getting your fingers messy with a goopy formula. This sheet mask comes pre-soaked with ingredients like ceramide NP, glycerin, and panthenol to help nourish the skin barrier and calm the skin.
Sephora
Promising review:"This is honestly the best mask I've tried. My skin was irritated, red, and dry after trying a new exfoliator, but after this mask, my skin was instantly hydrated and glowing. This mask repaired my skin barrier within a couple of hours, and I am SO impressed with how great it improved my skin. One hundred percent a need for a compromised skin barrier." — Teynika
Price: $10

28 Modern Beauty Trends Older Women Hate
Recently, we asked the older women of the BuzzFeed Community what modern beauty, hair, and skincare trends bother them, and they had a lot to say. Here are current trends that they absolutely can't stand*. "Why do people wear pimple patches out in that draws more attention to the fact you have spots?!!" "Brazilian butt lifts." "Threads. There are better ways to stimulate collagen that don't involve putting strings in your face. Barbed threads do not work at lifting either, and it is not possible to defy the laws of physics. Source: every surgeon I've ever talked to and myself. I did them in my disaster." "Wild fingernails, especially really long ones. I'm all for taking care of nails and have nothing against a good seriously, how do you function with full-on talons? I'm just waiting for the day I see two-inch-long nails tipped with googly eyes trying to text, and it sounds like maracas." "Fake freckles." "Less invasive and permanent than the others, but I think we're all going to make fun of the 'cold girl' makeup (using blush on the nose)." "The brushed-up, thick eyebrows. Why do you want to look like a startled werewolf?" "Lip blushing. It reminds me of the white permanent eyeliner trend." "Buccal fat removal. It can look cute now, but at almost 40 now, I'm glad I had chubby cheeks for my entire youth." "Overwhelming hair extensions." "The pressure to remove all female body hair, except for that around your eyes and on top of your head, has GOT to stop! You do you, but I think that hair is there for a reason. Ridiculous how women are pressured to remove almost all of it!" Relatedly... "This isn't something I ever speak about, but I can't stand how much time, effort, and money young women put into grooming down below. Can natural be a thing again, please?" "Veneers. Our skeletons are not perfect, so why do we obsess over having 'perfect' teeth? Just go to the dentist once a year and brush your teeth twice a day. I promise your teeth will be okay." "Twenty-step skincare routines." "Ozempic." "Fake tans. Why do women want to look like orange blow-up dolls? Please! Tone it down a bit and be more subtle and natural." "I cannot believe we don't post real photos of ourselves anymore. Now, everyone's photos are completely edited by TikTok to change their face or are AI-enhanced. When did we start to feel uncomfortable with our own face?" "The overuse of highlight and contour makeup. This is already gone/going out of style, but I think people are going to look at it like I used to look at old photos of women with blue eyeshadow." "Why do women glue big, fuzzy, caterpillar-like eyelashes on their eyelids? It doesn't look natural, let alone good. I think they'll look back at pictures of themselves and think, 'Why did I ever think that was a good idea?'" "I see a lot of teeny tiny upturned noses in pictures online, so IDK how much of that is just filtering, but I think that looks very odd and will look even stranger when they're older if it's real." "The trend I find most disturbing is the obsession younger people seem to have with looking like everyone else, to an unhealthy degree. They all have the same fake-looking eyebrows, fake eyelashes, inflated lips, Botox-ed foreheads…it's sad. Perfection is often NOT what makes someone beautiful. What makes someone naturally beautiful can often be a feature that's unusual and different from everyone else. I think all the people trying to look a certain way are actually destroying their own unique looks." "I always think the 'circle' lip trend of filling in your cupid's bow with lip liner is going to be looked back on weirdly. I can't stand this trend." "I've never been one to do something just because it's trendy, so I say do what you want. I may silently judge you because I think it looks dumb, but you're not hurting me, so go for it. But this obsession with skincare when you haven't even hit puberty yet needs to stop. You have a baby face; you don't need 25 different products on your face." And... "Women in their teens and 20s using anti-aging serums. I'm in my 50s and look 10 years younger. My secret? I used sunscreen in my 20s, that's all!" "Microblading." "Middle parts. Unless your face is perfectly symmetrical (yours is not, I guarantee you), it will accentuate every single imbalance." "I'll never understand bleached eyebrows, but go ahead, I guess." And finally... "Is 'everything' a valid answer? I've worked in the beauty industry for five years, and I hate it. The basics of beauty are a face wash, a treatment if you have an issue that you want fixed, a moisturizer, and SPF. These 10+ step skincare routines are so wasteful and unnecessary. I also cannot stand the people who glorify plastic surgery, fillers/injections, hair and lash extensions, fake tans, long gel/acrylic nails, etc. It's now radical and extremely rare to be authentic. If you're changing everything about yourself, there's obviously a deep issue that needs to be worked on that a needle, some acrylic nails, and extensions won't fix. I work with women who spend their money on products, injections, extensions, and nails, and can't afford insurance, gas, or groceries. It's so absurd to me. I don't like a lot about how I look, but at least it's 100% me." What modern beauty trends can you not stand? Let us know in the comments or via this anonymous form.
