We asked members of the BuzzFeed Community to tell us the best makeup they bought in 2017. Here are the gorgeous results:
1. Cosrx Acne Pimple Master Patches cover zits in hydrocolloid dressing, protecting them from further infection, literally absorbing pus and oil, and helping them heal WAY WAY faster.
“I have super sensitive skin and acne. Didn’t matter what I used, I would develop either a rash or more painful acne. I bought a pack of the patches and my skin has never looked better! I sometimes get those pimples that make unattractive giant bumps that concealer wouldn’t cover up. I slapped on the biggest patch over a recent one and not only did the swelling go down, the pimple was almost gone! I wish I could have taken a picture of the nastiness the patch collected overnight. SO satisfying! Who knew that I didn’t need to buy expensive creams or do a time-consuming regimen to achieve the pimple-free skin I’ve wanted for years?” —missgem
“Not only were they cheap and shipped quickly, but hot damn they work too. And not only do they work, but when they’re on your face (if you have pale skin like mine) you can’t even tell they’re there. I literally lost one once, and had to feel for it.” —a490d886ea
“I actually read a post about the ‘pimple patches’ here on BuzzFeed. I ordered them and I am in love. They are so amazing! I put on a pimple overnight and the next morning it’s all cleared up. They also don’t dry out your skin like a lot of products do.” —kwioncek
“They work like you can’t believe!!! Totally worth buying.” —kellyb4008c2352
Get a pack of 24 patches from Amazon for $4.47.
2. Maybelline Master Chrome Metallic Highlighter adds a warm glow to your face with soft powder infused with reflective pigments you can apply sparingly or intensely.
“It’s one of the only drugstore highlighters out there that can compete with the higher end brands. It’s under $10 and it’s a large pan. The gold color is absolutely stunning — I use it every day.” —mirandaheaney
Get it from Amazon for $7.54 or Jet for $7.94. Also available in molten rose gold.
Get it from Amazon for $6+. Available in 12 shades.
“You guys on BuzzFeed kept raving about it. I finally tried it, and yep, it’s the shit. Even my husband noticed and said something.” —kellyb4008c2352
Get it from Amazon for $15.80.
5. Fenty Pro Filt’r Solt Matte Longwear Foundation has you COVERED with 40 different shades in a huge range of skin tones. Plus its long-wear, climate-resistant formula stays matte all damn day.
“A game changer. I thought I was going to hate it because of my dry skin but it’s so amazing and it doesn’t look cakey on my skin at all and it changed my makeup game.” —cynthiaar2
“I’m sure it’s been mentioned because it’s super popular, but for real the Fenty beauty foundation was life changing. Not only is the shade range amazing, but the formula is perfect. I have really oily skin so by the end of the day my foundation is usually sliding all over the place, but this stays put. It looks super natural, like my skin but better. It dries down really quickly and it stays all day. It doesn’t break me out at all, which for my sensitive skin is so important!! My girl Riri killed it with this one.” —shannonstl
Get it from Sephora for $34. Available in 40 shades.
