Best New Makeup Formulas | 2020

Going through the new formulas released in 2020 (not just new-to-me but that I recall launching in 2020!), there were still plenty of new formulas that launched and made permanent.

I’m so glad there’s a high-quality, more mid-end cream blush/bronzer formula available with the Fenty Beauty Cheeks Out Blushes/Bronzers.  I hope we’ll see highlighters and bronzer/contour extensions over the next year. MAC Powder Kiss Eyeshadow was a winner, and it would be amazing to see more shades released in this formula going forward.

While we’re still waiting on an Amuse Bouche replacement, Bite Beauty’s Power Move Lip Crayons still delivered on comfortable, pigmented color.  Pat McGrath’s OpuLUST Glosses were a formula I reached for and effectively replaced the discontinued Bite shimmery glosses for me.

Has researching products before purchasing actually led to better purchases for you?

For me, I don’t research my beauty purchases so much since I primarily review them, but I have found that research and reading reviews in non-beauty categories has typically led to better purchases!
