TikTok can be a great place to find new makeup products to try. But with the amount of brands and influencers peddling their newest "holy grails" almost every day can lead to decision fatigue. Let's be honest: We want unbiased, comprehensive reviews—Cosmo Real Girl Reviews, anyone? ;)—as we want to make sure we get the most bang for our buck.
This is where Reddit comes into the picture. A local subreddit, r/beautytalkph, is a goldmine of info where you can find fellow beauty girlies who can give you comprehensive breakdowns of their beauty routines and unbiased reviews on their favorite products. This also includes whether or not a TikTok-famous product really lives up to the hype, because to be real, it can be way too easy to convince people to buy a product based on a one-minute 30-second video. (No judgment here—we've all been guilty of getting easily budol-ed!)
Below, we compiled seven TikTok-famous makeup products that Redditors claim are really worth the hype:
According to Reddit, These TikTok-Famous Makeup Products Are Worth the Hype
1. Colourette First Base Everyday Skin Tint
Using foundation every day to even out your skin tone just isn't worth it for the majority of us. This is where a skin tint comes into play: Not only is it lightweight and provides buildable coverage, but it can also camouflage redness and light acne marks. (For severe dark spots, we recommend spot-concealing with a full-coverage concealer afterward.)
This one from Colourette is praised by Redditors for its lightweight formula with a demi-matte finish that is perfect for our climate. It's also packed with broad spectrum SPF 30 and active skin ingredients such as niacinamide and azelaic acid for brightening dark spots and hyaluronic acid for moisturizing the skin.

2. Absidy Complexion Blur Translucent Perfecting Powder
If you don't have a perfecting powder—not a setting powder!—yet in your collection, then this one from Absidy might just convince you to add it to your cart ASAP. Designed as the last step of your makeup routine, it will grant your beat an airbrushed effect that looks flawless every time.

3. Chu Chu Beauty Heart Blush Duo
Each of the Heart Blush Duos from Chu Chu Beauty comes with two colors that you can either use separately or mix together for a natural-looking flush. Take note, though: This blush is insanely pigmented—it's easy to go from flushed cheeks to sunburnt real quick—so make sure to only pick up a little of the product with your brush and tap off the excess before applying it.

4. Detail Cosmetics Superfine Liner
The secret to achieving brows that don't look scrawled on is drawing tiny hair-like strokes on the sparse areas of your kilay. To achieve this, you need a brow pencil with a fine tip. This one from Detail Cosmetics gets a lot of praise from Redditors for being affordable while still getting the job done effectively! And at just P100, you know you're getting bang for your buck—and you won't feel guilty for restocking this every now and then.

Not only is it everything-proof, but we love that it's affordable and available everywhere—from online shopping platforms like Shopee and Lazada to convenience stores and groceries!

6. Fashion21 Double Up Mascara
The Double Up Mascara from Fashion21 is dubbed by Redditors as their gatekept mascara—and for good reason, too! It lengthens, volumizes, and holds your curl all day without weighing your eyelashes down. It's also classified as a tubing mascara, which means that its formula uses polymers to coat each individual lash, making it more effective in separating your lashes as compared to regular oil-based mascaras.

7. Romand Juicy Lasting Tint
Korean makeup brand Romand might have a ton of lip tint variations, but the Juicy Lasting Tint will forever be a favorite of Redditors. True to its name, it really lasts ALL. DAY. LONG! It applies as a gloss with just the right shine but it leaves a gorgeous natural-looking stain on your lips once you start eating or drinking. It is also available in 27 juicy shades ranging from pinks, reds, mauves, corals, and browns, so there's definitely a hue for everyone!
