The best and worst beauty products revealed
A professional makeup artist has revealed which Mecca beauty products she thinks are 'over-hyped' - and what she recommends shoppers buy instead.
The Daily Mail reported Bec, from the New South Wales central coast, had been working and doing makeup at the beauty retailer for four and a half years and went viral with her expert takes in a TikTok clip.
She said cult-favourites like Charlotte Tilbury's sell-out Airbrush Flawless Foundation not worth the hype, called out MAC's setting spray for one minor detail and revealed which products are the 'best' she's 'ever tried'.
'I'm going to show you something of the same product that I do think is worth it,' Bec said in the clip. "I'm going to offend some people, there are some favourites in here - it's just my opinion of what hasn't worked for me.'
The website said Bec started with the Stila felt-tip eyeliner, which she said wasn't ideal for those who wear liner every day like she does.
