Keeping up with beauty trends can be challenging, especially when it comes to knowing and finding the best products to add to your arsenal. But thanks to our interconnected society, it's easier to discover and research products from social media and internet favorites. I can only assume that you have your trusted and favorite influencers who provide you with the best products to use for your interests.


Like many, I found myself overwhelmed by the vast array of skincare products available. Rather than navigating this complex world alone, I turned to trusted sources for guidance. Licensed estheticians, reputable influencers, and established skincare brands became my go-to resources for making informed decisions. 


My makeup and skincare journey began with following the then @MakeUpForWOC on Twitter. I was 24 and wanted to enhance my look and feel beautiful but only knew three things: highlighter, lip gloss, and foundation. As I explored different needs and interests, I discovered honest individuals who became invaluable guides in my skincare and makeup adventure. Thanks to their expertise, I've seen significant improvements in both my skin health and makeup skills.


Recognizing the value of these expert recommendations, we at Adaaba wanted to compile this wisdom for our readers. We've done the research to bring you a curated list of influencer approved beauty essentials.


  • Golloria calls this lip balm a must have. The Slick Salve Lip Balm is a glossy, hydrating balm designed to soothe lips and provide shine that lasts all day.

  • A true internet sensation and called the best moisturizer by Jameline H, this lightweight moisturizer was created to refine pores, boost hydration, and improve the skin barrier.

  • Faiithie G preaches this cleanser is the reason for her clear skin. It’s a gentle daily cleanser formulated with superfoods and promises to remove makeup, prevent buildup, and balance pH.

  • Nara Smith shares that these are her favorite concealers. The best part about the Hourglass Vanish Airbrush Concealer is that it's a lightweight, full-coverage, waterproof concealer. You can’t beat that!

  • Top two on her list of go to foundations Monet McMichael says adding this foundation is essential. The Light Reflecting Foundation offers medium coverage, suitable for long wear, and leaves a natural finish.

  • Long Lasting, waterproof and available in 11 shades, Ioannaipsaros is obsessed with this product and shares there isn’t another liner you’d want after. 

  • Jackie Aina, business owner, beauty expert and internet’s best friend has quoted the warm gold shade as a highlighter made for those wanting a “skin-like finish.” 


We know that navigating the world of beauty and skincare may feel overwhelming, but with the guidance of trusted experts and influencers, finding the right products can be an exciting and rewarding journey. The recommendations shared above are just a glimpse into the must-have products that continue to win the hearts of beauty enthusiasts everywhere.


The main thing to note is that beauty is personal—what works for one person may not work for another. Embrace the journey, experiment with confidence, and let your individuality shine.
