I love how friendly and humble you are. A breath of fresh air. You are NOT arrogant at all; and very beautiful and amazing at makeup! Love your opinions. I have the same kind of taste as you do. I am 48.
The sweet foundation is the best foundation I have tried in such a long time! It looks like skin and I love a skin tint but unlike others it actually covers and is long wearing!! So so amazing
Hi Sofia, I fully agree with you about the new Fenty Beauty foundation, it looks gorgeous! I'm happy that you like the Sweed one, because I've ordered it yesterday! Thank you your reviews ❤
Just found you too. Kinda want to say where have I been? What a breath of fresh air. Your reviews are just different in a great way. You are so much more in touch with “ current state”. I have more mature skin and get in a rut with shadow/blush placement. Thx for the insight and review!
For me, ADDICTION Tokyo was a favourite palette brand this year. I adore the RMS Bronzers. The DM Lightworks VI and the serum concealers were favourite new releases. I bought the Fenty foundation but I haven’t tried it yet. My favourite lipstick was the Lisa Eldridge Rouge Experience system. Thank you for sharing your favourites.
Hi Sofia! Help!! I would LOVE a tutorial on using the Dior Contour Stick, then layering bronzer then blush to keep the colors from looking muddy. It’s my biggest challenge and your advice would be super helpful!! ♥️💕♥️😬
I love this round up, and love all of your honest and thoughtful reviews on all these products. You’re just a pleasure and a delight, and that purple lipstick is stunning.
I’m Oily combination skin, and live in New Zealand. I recently found your channel and watched some of your videos❤. I don’t make up too much, I just use a tinted sun cream as my foundation, also concealer sometimes.However, I want to try the Dior foundation stick and the hourglass cheek blush you recommend. Thanks for your videos.❤
I love how this video gave us a look back at all of your cool 2024 nail looks! I’m so glad that you mentioned Mineralscapes and Rivage! I feel like they have been a little bit forgotten about already. I only got Mineralscapes two months ago when I saw and couldn’t believe that Selfridges still had a few of them in stock in store. It’s my first and only large palette that I ever bought. So beautiful! Now I am tempted to try out the Sweed Glass Skin foundation but am hesitant because I have combination skin.
I agree with you, the Chanel blushes and LE lipsticks were my favorites. I did forget the D&G releases earlier this year and was so tempted. Maybe will revisit after holidays.
@@karennz1099 I have a D&G blush that’s really nice, I love the highlighter the only downside is that it came broken twice before I got one intact, but it’s beautiful!
Thank you so much for sharing your favorite products with us! I love it all. I have the d&g bronzer but you just convinced me to buy the blush. I absolutely love the bronzer! I also splurged on the la prairie powder! I have the foundation &; i love it. Nikki La Rose raves about it. I had too. Im desperate with dry skin. We will see! Merry Christmas Sofia!!! Love you ❤❤❤❤
I’m a combination oily mature skin gall and the Dior foundation stick 🦯 does work and makes wonders on my skin! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻. Thank you 🙏🏻 so much for this recommendation and for the RMS makeup 💄 products too which I just purchased Dear Sofia! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️🎄🎄🎄🎅🎅🎅
My Comments: Love the Fenty! Will try the Sweed maybe Spring/Summer 2025. My fav right now is a 50/50 cocktail of Dior Forever Matte in 2N and Patrick Ta K based foundation in 6N. It is a dream! Also LOVE the foundation stick in 1N and 2CR.
My problem with the hour glass liquid blush ( I have the travel size) is that I find that button on the bottom impossible to push! It’s hard if you have long nails and my nails aren’t that long! Anyone else experience this? That black button just won’t push the product out.
I 100% agree with you on the Dior Forever Glow Star Filter (which also extends the longevity of my base makeup), Byredo Mineralscapes and Hourglass Dragon palette. The Suqqu Moisture Glaze lipsticks are among my 2024 faves. Such a hydrating formula that is low maintenance, quick to apply and re-apply, and comes in office-friendly shades - a go-to lipstick for me
Merry Christmas to you and your family. I loved watching this video. I have many of these recs and love them like the Sweed foundation, Dior foundation sticks, and Chanel blushes. I don't have anything from D & G and will try their bronzer and blush (I am not a fan of warm bronzers so I hope this will work. I've never been a fan of liquid blush as I find it harder to work with - I find it easier to control the amount of color using a powder blush. I have many of the Dior 5 pan palettes, the Chanel quads, and YSL 4 pan clutch palettes. I prefer the Dior and YSL over the Chanel just for the design of the palette. For lipstick, I love the Chanel and Guerlaine Kiss Balms in several colors. I would love to get your take on the most unique fragrances out there. Thank you - you are so much fun to watch.
For my fellow oily skin girls, just wanted to say….. that the Dior foundation stick works great on my oily skin! It’s has turned into a favorite of mine because it’s so quick and easy.
Super beautiful list, dear Sofia, thank you for making this for us!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩That Prada palette never showed up here in Europe, i did not see it on the EU website for shipment to The Netherlands. I have makeup enough, but would have loved that palette. Wishing you a wonderful Christmas!!!🎄❤
I love your sweater, can you share where u go it. Your make up looks so soft and pretty love it. Your personality rocks too, lol! Thank for always letting us know what works for dry skin so appreciate that. Cheers from Seattle!
Just found you Sofia! Stumbled across your channel and you're so sweet! Wondering if I could make a suggestion....the volume is kinda muddy and I really like what I see so maybe check your volume next time! I'm subscribing!! 😘😘😘 P.S.: I LOVE DIOR, it's da bomb. I also ADORE the Armani Luminous Silk and the Patrick Ta Major Skin Hydra-Lux Luminous Foundation. I'm a dry-skinned girlie too, I'm gonna LOVE your content, I can tell!
I bought the Byredopalette in Stockholm, which made more special to me and it was a little cheaper, but not much what I like about them is they’re not overly crazy pigmented in a good way
I bought the Byredopalette in Stockholm, which made more special to me and it was a little cheaper, but not much what I like about them is they’re not overly crazy pigmented in a good way. I love the way your makeup looks, it’s funny Bronx baby looks so much darker on my lips
Okay, Sofia, you made me add some very expensive items to my shopping cart😂😂 But, I am so sad that you made me fall in love with that Guerlain x Pucci lipstick!! Any suggestions on something similar? Its so gorgeous 😢 I'm sad, not to be able to get it 💄💋
Kosas Euphoria Blush was my most used blush of the year. A second (although it came out much later) is the new Gucci one in red. With those two, I haven’t needed any others. I’m waiting on my Chanel new blushes. I did pick up one red and one berry (I think Rose Ruban and Pink Initial, but I’m not 100% sure), but these are not the cream to powder. I do love the Hourglass berry serum blush.
We know you looove your warmer tones but tbh the cooler tones really make your features POP! 🫶🏽 I feel like you have higher contrast, cool features with your fair complexion, rosier lips and dark eyes. I always love your smoky eye looks and vampy dark lip. Merry Christmas ❤❤❤❤ glad I found your channel this year. Makeup is feminine self care for me. It’s an escape into the beauty of enhancing what we are given ⚡️
For me, 2924 was about using what I had. 2025 is going to be much the same, I’m still tuning in to all the videos though, so don’t you worry about that!
The Bronx baby looks super different when you applied it (way darker) vs on your lips in the video. Unless was it a different color & I missed it? Bc I really like the color your wearing throughout the video. Oh btw that Prada palette with the pink shimmer looked STUNNING on you!!!
This was such a fun recap of 2024!! The Byredo palettes have been my favorite eyeshadow releases both in 2023 and 2024. I actually saw that Fude Japan restocked the Mineralscapes palette very recently so maybe folks can still find it! I discovered the Make Up Forever HD glow foundation and Shiseido Synchro Skin this year and absolutely love both. I really want to try the sweed but it’s been sold out in my shade:( one of my favs this year was the Chanel Healthy Glow Face Palettes and Makeup by Mario SoHo lipstick was worn on repeat this summer! I also picked up the Plan de Paris Dior lipstick case and Dior Cannage Lipstick and I’m completely enamored with both.
This is an fyi. At first when you talk low , your microphone sounds different. When you take louder it’s ok. It maybe cuz if the other vidoes I watch 😂😂❤❤ but I love the whole video. Best of !! ❤
Well, I tried the Fenty foundation😢😢😢😢 terrible on me, you can see ALL imperfections on the skin, nightmare 😮 I wish I could love it but it didn't happen 😢😢😢😢😢
I completely felt that way, and then I tried mixing it with a little bit of primer and then used my fingers to spread all over my face. Sprayed my face with setting spray and used a sponge to go over it. Chef’s kiss 💋 It took a lot of fails, but once I figured it out, I love it!
Same. Also the Dior foundation stick. None of them work for me. I no longer believe foundation and concealer reviews 😂 I only trust my Armani luminous silk foundation, and my Nars light reflecting foundation and the tower 28 concealer.
Same here!!! The Dior stick foundation is terrible and the Fenty is horrendous. I have normal skin that is in good condition so I just don’t know why they don’t work for me. The other one is the Lisa Eldridge skin tint…awful, settles in lines and dry spots I never knew I had. I find the Sisley tinted moisturiser is hands down the best and easiest to use. I can put it on with my eyes closed and it always looks good, not much coverage but that is fine for me.
@@lauramocza5523ooh I have been reading not so positive reviews about the Dior foundation stick. Everyone and their mother loved it on youtube. It was in literally everyone’s best of videos. Interesting very interesting 🤨
I love how friendly and humble you are. A breath of fresh air. You are NOT arrogant at all; and very beautiful and amazing at makeup! Love your opinions. I have the same kind of taste as you do. I am 48.
Sofia, that is the most spectacular eye look you have made! demo please!!!!!!!!
Check out my live stream from today! Almost the same look

Agreed! Honest. I don’t feel you’re over selling us on anything
Thank you so much for your feedback!
I’m about to hit pan on the RMS bronzer. It’s absolutely amazing. My favourite shade is tan line. It’s perfect for light medium olive!
I absolutely LOVE your eyeshadow look today!
I have both the Sweed and the Fenty foundation because of you. They are great!🎉
Yay!

Lol! That's so true
Hey, are you wearing Merit shade “power” in this video? Thanks 🙏
You are so right about the Fenty it is gold and I do love Chanel too :)
So good! ;)
I love the armani large bronzer
Yay!!! Been waiting for this!
I did buy the Benefit holiday face palette you reviewed. The eyeshadows are lovely! And I love the new blush shade too
YAY!!
I love the smokey essentials too per your rec! Can you revisit this pallette again please? I need some nore inspo! Thank you! Happy Holidays Sofia! ❤
Thank you, Sofia! I think my favorites included the Chanel cream to powder blush and the LE rouge lipsticks, and so many others! 😂
I agree with you, the Chanel blushes and LE lipsticks were my favorites. I did forget the D&G releases earlier this year and was so tempted. Maybe will revisit after holidays.
@@karennz1099 I have a D&G blush that’s really nice, I love the highlighter the only downside is that it came broken twice before I got one intact, but it’s beautiful!
Great picks!
Fenty and Sweed foundations two of my absolute faves even above the Dior stick❤
Yay!! :)
How do you color match with Swede beauty for foundation
My shades are listed in the description box :)
Thank you so much for sharing your favorite products with us! I love it all. I have the d&g bronzer but you just convinced me to buy the blush. I absolutely love the bronzer! I also splurged on the la prairie powder! I have the foundation &; i love it. Nikki La Rose raves about it. I had too. Im desperate with dry skin.
We will see! Merry Christmas Sofia!!! Love you ❤❤❤❤
Merry Christmas!

Patty Alonso says you should shake it first and she also uses the back of a brush
Yes it's hard to push if you have nails. Crazy that they didn't realize that. So I just use my knuckle or the back of a brush lol :)
What brush did you use to apply the Hourglass blushes?
Merit
Happy Holidays! Love this video I actually have a number of these products but looks like I need more!
Merry Christmas Sofia and Happy New year 2025
Highly suggest you try the LYS foundation stick - I love it more than the Dior one.
Great video Sofia! I love Byredo Mineralscapes palette, it is amazing! I can't wait to see what will they launch in 2025.! ☺️❤
Same, it's amazing!
I love the Fenty foundation! In fact the first time I tried it my husband commented on how nice my makeup looked! ❤

Can we have a version where you include things that also did not come out in 2024? Like an all-time favorites
Do you think I can use the sweed foundation as a combination oily girly? ♥️
If I were you I would instead use the Chantecaille one cause it's a gel formula
Sophia! Did you see Dolce&Gabbana have a new matte fluid foundation on their website? Maybe it’s old news, but new to me?
Oh yes I think that is new :)

Sofia, I remember you speaking about the Chanel foundation I think called Boy, marketed for men but you loved. Is this still in your rotation?
Yup! but they don't make a shade that is light enough for me to use in the winter. I also only included makeup that was launched in 2024 in this video

I was eyeing up the d&g luminizer but it's not sold where i am ;(
Darn, maybe they will expand their distribution this upcoming year
I tried the sweed cuz of all the hype. I find it pretty matte and not all that great.
This is an fyi. At first when you talk low , your microphone sounds different. When you take louder it’s ok. It maybe cuz if the other vidoes I watch 😂😂❤❤ but I love the whole video. Best of !! ❤
Thanks! I'll have to look into that
When I see that bright yellow color, it always reminds me of a Pikachu.
