Recently, I had the opportunity to review Younique cosmetics. Younique is a revolutionary beauty brand that was created in 2012 by a brother & sister team. They offer a diverse collection of face, lip and eye makeup as well as skincare products and cosmetics tools.
Younique’s mission is to uplift, empower, validate, and ultimately build self-esteem in women around the world through high-quality products that encourage both inner and outer beauty while also providing opportunities for personal growth and financial reward. This is accomplished by using a direct sales model where each consultant can create her own business.
They are very active on social media and I’ve seen/heard many positive things about Younique. I am not a consultant and I can’t speak about that side of the company. I can, however, discuss what their products are like for the consumer, and I must say I loved them! These are the ones I tried:
o Moodstruck Precision Pencil Eye Liners
o Stiff Upper Lip Stains
o Refreshed Rose Water
o Moodstruck Addiction Shadow Palettes
Moodstruck Addiction Shadow Palettes
Younique makes 3 different eye palettes; I tried both Palette One (more golden) and Palette Two (more silver). Each contains 7 color coordinated shadows that can be used alone or combined for a custom look. Each shade is both blendable and buildable and I liked that there were many different finishes from matte to shimmery. For brown eyes like mine, Palette Two is awesome!
Moodstruck Precision Pencil Eye Liners
Anyone looking for long-wearing products will love them. The eyeliners not only look gorgeous, they also are water-proof and smudge-proof. I tried shades Perfect (gray), Passionate (purple)and Prim (brown). The gray/brown shades are wonderful for daily use and I love the purple for evenings.
Stiff Upper Lip Stains
The lip stains glide on easily and provide full coverage, all-day color in a matte finish. I tried 3 shades—Sultry (magenta), Shy (soft pink), and Savvy (deep plum). Shy is my favorite and I like to let it dry completely, then top it with some clear gloss or lip balm.
Refreshed Rose Water
While this product is primarily a skin revitalizer, I found it be very unique with multiple uses—toner, setting spray, primer, makeup remover, and hair softener. The scent is sweet without being too sugary and doesn’t irritate at all.
I found all of the Younique products I tried to be excellent. The colors were pretty and the formulas had good pigment and staying power. Everything is vegan friendly, cruelty free, and doesn’t contain the most commonly irritating preservatives like parabens, sulfates, and fragrance. They are a good value for the money—-especially the eye palettes!—and I would purchase them on my own.
