Not too long ago I saw the Unpopular Opinions Makeup Tag on Hunida’s blog, and I thought it would be fun to do today!
There are no rules, so we can get straight into the tag!
1. POPULAR MAKEUP PRODUCT YOU DON’T LIKE
I do not like Kylie Cosmetics products. I have tried both the Kylie Cosmetics Lipstick in Candy K and more recently Posie K as well as the Kylie Cosmetics Gloss in So Cute, but they are so overpriced. The liquid lipsticks are very drying and not transfer-proof while the gloss is the same quality as a $5 NYX Butter Gloss.
2. POPULAR MAKEUP PRODUCT/BRAND THAT EVERYONE ELSE SEEMS TO HATE BUT, YOU LOVE
I know there are many people who love his brand, but I will say JSC because he is controversial and some will not support him or his brand. However, I love his makeup especially the Conspiracy collection.
3. MAKEUP COLLAB YOU DIDN’T LIKE OR WERE NOT INTERESTED IN
Morphe x Jaclyn Hill. I like the look of the four blue and purple shades in her first palette, but the rest of it looked boring with all the neutral shades. Then when The Vault came out with the four mini palettes, there were issues with the formula, so I had no interest in purchasing them either. In February her Volume 2 palette was released, and the color story looks better than her first palette, but again there is controversy with the formula no longer being vegan (also the formula for her Volume 1 palette changed too), so Jacyln Hill’s collab with Morphe is not one I am interested in.
4. POPULAR MAKEUP STEP THAT YOU NEVER DO
Eyeliner. In high school and college, I used to always use eyeliner under my eyes, but now I never do. Now I use eyeshadow under my eyes, and I like my makeup looks without eyeliner.
5. POPULAR BEAUTY INFLUENCER YOU DON’T SUBSCRIBE TO/WATCH
There are actually only a few beauty influencers I do subscribe to (NikkieTutorials, Safiya Nygaard, and Simply Nailogical), so others like James Charles, Manny MUA, Tati Westbrook, Jaclyn Hill, Zoella, etc. I do not subscribe to or watch.
6. POPULAR MAKEUP BRAND THAT YOU DON’T USE/SUPPORT ANYMORE
Kat Von D Beauty/KVD Vegan Beauty. After Kat Von D announced that she was not going to vaccinate her child, I stopped supporting her brand. In January of this year, she sold her makeup brand to Kendo and it was renamed to KVD Vegan Beauty. Kat Von D will no longer profit from the brand, however, I still will not support KVD Vegan Beauty because of the association to Kat Von D that is still there (they are using her initials, but they stand for Kindness, Vegan Beauty + Discovery and Doing Good).
7. MAKEUP TREND THAT YOU HAVE NO INTEREST IN TRYING
Any trend involving eyebrows. Over the years, there always seems to be a new brow trend popping up from feathered and fishtail brows to Christmas tree and halo brows, and I do not want to try any of them.
8. MAKEUP PRODUCT THAT WAS BETTER IN THEORY THAN WHEN YOU USED IT (EITHER SWATCHED BETTER OR WORKED BETTER ON OTHERS THAN ON YOU)
Pretty much any multipurpose product is better in theory than in reality. I have tried the Emite Lip & Cheek Tint, and it worked fine as a lip tint, but it was difficult to use as a cheek tint. Also, the Pixi MultiBalm looked nice on the cheeks, but it was streaky on the lips. Another example is the Manna Kadar Fantasy 3-in-1 Blush Highlighter Eyeshadow. It was great as an eyeshadow and highlighter, but it was too shimmery and the wrong shade for blush.
What are your unpopular makeup opinions?
This was so fun to read, I definitely agree with you on JSC, I love it, his liquid lipsticks are my all time favourite

Yes! I feel like I’ve tried a ton of different brands of liquid lipsticks & his are the best! They’re the least drying & they don’t come off unless you’re eating oily food.

Exactly, they are the best, they feel like nothing on the lips

I don’t like these multi-purpose make up products much either.. if something is for both the lips and the cheeks i find them to be a bit too oily for me.

Yes! That is a problem b/c you don’t want lip products to dry out the lips so most have added oils/shea butter but then you’re just adding oils to your face.

Ah the original Jaclyn Hill palette is one of my all time favourites. The stock images just don’t do the shades justice, and make it look like 31 warm browns lol xo

Fun to read!
I’m with you on eyebrows. I don’t get it. Some of these eyebrow trends I’ve seem over the years are best described as… the stuff of nightmares. And is that eyebrow halo stuff for real? Or was this a thing for April Fools Day? Yikes!

Thanks! The halo brows were a real trend! I think with most of the trends people do it for views/likes b/c surely no one goes out like that???

Eyebrows are so strange and I’ll admit I still don’t quite know what I’m doing with mine most of the time. Gotta love SimplyNailogical, I watch her and i don’t even do my nails!

I have this eyebrow trimmer I use, but other than that I don’t bother with my brows. I love her too & I was tempted to buy her nail polish but I don’t do my nails either lol

Yay! I’m so excited that you did this tag!
I am SO jealous that you got to meet Jeffree!! What an awesome picture. ❤ I agree about the Jaclyn Hill palettes & I’ve been more into no eyeliner looks, too. So strange that they’re still using Kat Von D’s initials? & whaaaat is that halo eyebrow?! LOL.

Thank you!
It’s nice to hear you feel the same about the Jaclyn Hill palettes & not using eyeliner.
Yes it is stranger that they’re using Kat Von D’s initials & that’s why at first I thought she was still going to benefit from the brand.
Hopefully no one wears halo eyebrows or any of those crazy makeup trends out in real ife
