Meg O. Beauty Awards – The Best Makeup of 2021
This post contains affiliate links. View my full disclosure policy for more information.
It’s my favorite video of the year to share – my Meg O. Beauty Awards! Let’s chat all about the best makeup of 2021! These items did not necessarily launch in 2021, but it’s when I discovered them. And just because you don’t see other products you know I love from previous years, it doesn’t mean they are not favorites!
I like to focus my Meg O. Beauty awards around the discoveries of the year, and not try to lump in things from years’ past. Soooo… with that being said, let’s dive right in!
This is a long video, so grab a snack! And if you’re just impatient, I’ve got everything linked below.

Did any of these surprise you? Are your 2021 favorites on here! It was such an amazing makeup discovery year! I found so many incredible things that have quickly risen to holy grail status. Can’t wait to see what kind of discoveries I’ll make in 2022!
Look forward to your year end recap every year! I’ve learned so much about products and placements even at 37 from you! I feel like if my girls choose to wear makeup when they get older I’ll be more knowledgeable(my mom chose to not wear makeup and couldn’t help me growing up- which is perfectly fine)and can help them because of following you for the past couple years. Thanks for all your hard work and for always being so honest. Love your sweet family!
Thank you SO MUCH for your sweet comment!! I really appreciate it. I’m so happy to help and I’m glad that you’ve learned some tips and tricks.
These are the posts I LIVE for! I love your “favorites” posts. There are still a few products in here I haven’t tried, and I was also reminded of a couple products I had tried that you had recommended! So many of these products became favorites for me this past year, too! I still need to try that Tom Ford foundation 😉 Thanks for all the hard work that went into this post!
