VIOLET GREY is the beauty industry’s best-of edit. Every single product (makeup, haircare, skincare) sold on VIOLET GREY has gone through a rigorous testing process and extensive research. It’s only when a product has 70% of testers raving that it can be deemed Violet Code Approved. And these aren’t just any testers. VIOLET GREY has formed a committee of industry experts, from make-up artists to movie stars to beauty editors.

So, if VIOLET GREY offers the best beauty products, then their best-sellers are the best of the best… Or something like that. Today, we’re taking a look at their best-sellers to determine what makeup products are must-haves for the new year. It’s time to step up our beauty game and treat ourself as we welcome 2022! Let’s get into it:

EYES

Utowa Eyelash Curler II ($22)

This is the product that started it all. VIOLET GREY started its journey in an effort to find the ~best~ eyelash curler in the world. One that will curl (not crimp) the eyelashes in a curve that will hold. Their team of experts tested on film sets, the red carpet, and everywhere else you could possibly think in order to discover the best curler. Spoiler: it’s the Utowa Eyelash Curler from Japan.

Victoria Beckham Beauty Future Lash Mascara ($28)

This Victoria Beckham mascara is definitely a favorite for a reason. This clean mascara contains no harmful chemicals, is cruelty-free, and vegan. It lengthens your lashes effortlessly while conditioning with shea butter and niacinamide. It’s ultra-black, sweat-proof, and won’t flake or clump. What’s not to love?

Jillian Dempsey Lid Tint ($28)

Everyone needs an effortless lid tint—it helps you create a gorgeous eye look in seconds. This creamy formula is available in 10 shades and gives a youthful, dewy glow. You can layer it with traditional eye shadow for a more detailed look, but all you really need are your fingers and a quick swipe on your eyelids. Done.

CHEEKS

Westman Atelier Lit Up Highlight Stick ($48)

This highlight stick is a must-have for travelling! Or anytime, really. It’s a cream/gel formula that moisturizes while it delivers a lit-from-within kind of glow that looks impossibly fresh. Available in 3 colors, this highlight stick flatters all skin tones and complexions for a beautiful shine that will catch the light.

Westman Atelier Baby Cheeks Blush Stick ($48)

Like the Westman Atelier highlight stick, this blush stick delivers hydration and is skin-friendly. It’s easy to apply and blend with your fingers, immediately melting into the skin for a natural no-makeup look. It comes in 6 shades that look great on cheeks, lips, or eyes… One product, so many uses!

Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Bronzing Cream ($50)

The Chanel bronzing cream is a fool-proof way to get a sun-kissed glow. The cream-gel bronzer has a buttery feel that is easy to blend and gives a natural, velvet-matte finish all over your face. It has long been a favorite of makeup artists around the world.

LIPS

Rouje Lip Palette Les 4 Rouje Cream ($45)

Though this is technically a lip palette, one could argue for a blush or eyeshadow as well. Created by French it-girl Jeanne Damas, Rouje provides you with quality products that are multi-use and oh-so-French. The vintage inspired gold case contains 4 shades of a typical French woman: a classic vivid red, deep red, natural nude and brownish-plum shade. An entire makeup look in just one palette.

Victoria Beckham Beauty Bitten Lip Tint ($36)

This lip tint moisturizes while giving a flush of color for a natural bitten lip look. Made with hyaluronic acid and squalane, this tint doesn’t feel dry or annoyingly sticky—it really is the perfect consistency. The lightweight gel comes in 3 colors that plump the lips and complete your effortless makeup look.

And there you have it, folks. VIOLET GREY has spoken… Along with their shoppers. These are the top 8 best-selling makeup products. The best of the best, if you will. You deserve quality products that will bring you joy and make you feel pretty. These are the ones to order!
