Hey beauty friends! 👋 At MakeupForum, we believe the best beauty advice doesn’t come from glossy ads — it comes from people just like you: experimenting, learning, and sharing what *actually* works. That’s why we’re thrilled to bring you Community Picks Guide 2 — a fresh, heartfelt roundup of standout products, routines, and insights voted on and reviewed by our vibrant community. Whether you’re searching for that holy-grail concealer or wondering which serum finally tamed your dry patches, this guide is your warm, trustworthy compass.
✨ What’s New in This Edition?
This isn’t just an update — it’s an evolution. In Community Picks guide 2, we’ve deepened our focus on inclusivity (with over 70% of reviewers sharing skin tone, type, and concerns), added seasonal favorites (hello, summer-proof SPF and humidity-resistant mascara!), and spotlighted more affordable gems under $25. We also introduced ‘Routine Match’ tags — so if you’re a minimalist, a 10-step enthusiast, or somewhere in between, you’ll find aligned recommendations instantly.
🌟 Top 3 Most Loved Products (This Season)
Based on over 1,200 verified reviews submitted in Q2, these three stood out for consistency, performance, and joy:
- CloudNine Hydrating Primer — Praised by 92% of combination and oily-skin reviewers for its matte-but-not-dry finish and makeup longevity (12+ hours, even in 85°F heat).
- TrueGlow Cream Blush in 'Dusty Rose' — A universal shade winner across Fitzpatrick IV–VI skin tones, loved for buildable color and zero pilling over skincare.
- Midnight Repair Oil-Free Serum — Clinically tested and community-validated for calming post-breakout redness — with 86% reporting visible improvement within 10 days.
💡 How Our Community Reviews Work (And Why They’re Trustworthy)
We don’t just collect ratings — we curate context. Every review in Community Picks guide 2 includes: skin type, concern(s), usage duration (min. 2 weeks), and a photo or video log (optional but encouraged). Moderators verify authenticity, and we highlight recurring themes — like ‘works best over damp skin’ or ‘avoid with niacinamide-heavy routines’. No sponsored placements. No algorithmic bias. Just real talk, carefully organized.
