There are many makeup products that are hyped up by influencers and beauty gurus. It’s important to keep in mind that not all makeup products that are heavily marketed or highly touted by influencers will work for everyone.
Some makeup products may be overly hyped, meaning that they are heavily promoted but may not live up to their claims or may not be suitable for all skin types.
Overly Hyped Makeup Products You Should Avoid
Here are a few examples of the overly hyped makeup products you should avoid:
1. Expensive Primers
Many high-end primers are marketed as being able to fill in fine lines and pores, blur imperfections, and even out skin tone. However, many drugstore primers can do the same job at a fraction of the cost.
2. Overpriced Foundation
Some high-end foundations can be very expensive but may not offer any additional benefits over more affordable options. It’s always better to try a product before purchasing or to check for reviews and wear test the product.
3. Hype-Driven Eyeshadows
Some eyeshadow palettes can be priced exorbitantly high but contain shades that are not pigmented or blendable or simply not suitable for one’s skin tone. It’s best to go for eyeshadow palettes with a mix of neutral and bold shades, providing more versatility and value for money.
4. Concealers that Claim to Hide Everything
Concealers that claim to hide everything from blemishes to dark circles to redness can be expensive and may not live up to their claims. In some cases, it’s better to use different products for specific concerns.
5. Setting Sprays that Claim to Keep Makeup On All Day
Some setting sprays can be very pricey and may claim to keep makeup on all day. However, most setting sprays will help to keep makeup in place for a few hours, but won’t make your makeup last all day.
6. Overly Fragranced Products
Some makeup products contain a lot of fragrances, which can be irritating to sensitive skin.
7. Products with a lot of Fillers
Some products may be heavily diluted with fillers or other ingredients that do not have any real benefit for the skin.
8. “Miracle” Products
Products that promise to completely eliminate wrinkles, dark circles, or other imperfections overnight are often overly hyped and may not deliver the results they claim.
9. Makeup Products with Only One Shade
Some makeup products may be heavily marketed to certain ethnic groups, but have limited shades that may not match everyone.
Conclusion
Ultimately, it’s important to do your own research and to be wary of products that are heavily marketed and overhyped. Look for products that are suitable for your skin type, and consider seeking advice from a makeup artist or skincare professional if you’re not sure what products to use.
