Today I have my Best of Beauty Roundup for 2017 with my makeup favorites of the year. I feel like I always say this but I cannot believe another year has flown by! Beauty, skincare and fragrance testing has been a challenging process as we transitioned from the mild climate of San Diego to humidity and different water conditions in South Florida. Many things that worked for me in California suddenly didn’t work the same way for me once I landed in Florida. With seasonal changes I had to switch things up in skincare but the good news is for makeup most everything still worked for me. My best of beauty for makeup this year includes my top picks of the year with a mix of old and new launches. Items that were press samples have a * next to them. As always I’d love to hear about your makeup favorites this year!
Face/Cheeks
- Becca x Chrissy Teigen Palette – my most-used face palette of the year (swatches here)
- Diorskin Nude Air Luminizer in 001 and 004* – best highlighter colors for me (review of all 4 here)
- La Mer The Powder – best loose setting powder discovery this year
- NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in Ginger – still my go-to no matter what other brands I try (swatches here)
- Becca Sunlit Bronzer * – best natural looking bronzer (swatches + beauty looks here)
- Tom Ford Waterproof Foundation/Concealer in Natural *, Sable * and Tawny – favorite longwear foundation that held up best to the Florida summer heat and humidity (swatches here and here)
- Cover FX Custom Enhancer Drops in Rose Gold (not shown above) – prettiest liquid shimmer! (swatched here and on the face here)
Eyes
- Tom Ford Eye Color Quad in Nude Dip – one that has remained a classic staple for years, also among the few I’ve hit pan on before and repurchased (original review and swatches here)
- Chanel Les 4 Ombres in City Lights – best neutral with shimmer discovery this year, it was limited-edition and may be hard to find now, a close more neutral option is Tisse Rivoli (swatches here)
- Diorshow Brow Styler in Universal Brown – most natural easy to wear pencil that’s pretty much goof-proof, it’s pretty much the one I’ve worn in most of my beauty looks on this blog
- Tom Ford Fiber Brow Gel * – favorite brow gel that adds definition, fills in sparse areas naturally and lasts all day (review here)
- L’Oreal Lash Paradise in Waterproof Blackest Black – best mascara of the year that holds the curl, doesn’t smudge, stays put all day and actually makes my wimpy lashes visible (review here)
- Le Metier de Beaute Kaleidoscope in Flash Phenomenon – best glowy eyeshadow palette of the year (swatches here)
Lips
- Pat McGrath LuxeTrance Lipstick and MatteTrance Lipstick – best new lipstick formula discovery of the year (swatches of my picks and haul here)
- Hourglass Confession Ultra Slim High Intensity Lipstick * – one I love the formula of even though I still think they are insanely overpriced for the amount of product you get, color and finish is phenomenal (swatches here and here)
- Louboutin Metalinudes Loubilaque * – best shimmery high shine gloss for my lip gloss loving self (swatches here)
- Sisley Phyto-Lip Twist in Baby – best tinted balm discovery, I’ve since added more colors to my collection and will try to review/swatch soon (swatch of Baby here)
- Tom Ford Lips and Boys in Bradley – best nude lip color of the year and one I repurchased (swatched on lips here)
- MAC Lipglass from the Nicki Minaj Collection in N-U-D-E and Under the Sheets * – both were limited edition so if you can’t find them I’d recommend you check out Love Nectar or Oyster Girl for similar shades
- Chanel Rouge Coco Gloss in Tendresse 172 (swatches here) – best rosy tinted gloss, one Andrew told me looked good whenever I wore it!
- Marc Jacobs Le Marc Liquid Lip Creme in Slow Burn * – the best neutral rose color to wear year round (swatches here)
Nails
- OPI Be There in a Prosecco – best light pale opaque neutral that I wore the most frequently (best nudes swatched here)

One person will be selected at random through the Rafflecopter widget to win a selection of my favorites including: Tom Ford Eyeshadow Quad in Nude Dip, Cover FX Custom Enhancer Drops in Rose Gold, Blossom and Halo, L’oreal Lash Paradise Waterproof and MAC Lipglass color of their choice.

I can’t believe I haven’t bought Nude Dip yet.
Beauty picks: diorskin nude air luminizer, nars velvet matte skin tint, laura mercier candlelight powder, laura mercier kohl eye pencil in brown copper, marc jacobs matte eyeliner in brownie – all new to me this year and I love them all!
Super review! I always bookmark it for future reference. It’s better than any magazine’s best of beauty. I found MJ Slow Burn, Laura Mercier Candleglow Perfecting Powder, and several other new staples this year, and snapped up a few LE items I love thanks to you and the blog. Looking forward to the new year of TBLB!
I love seeing your end of the year roundups! What a beautiful list! It’s so hard to pick only 5 but I think mine are:
1. Burberry Kisses lipstick
2. Armani Eye Tints (new to me, I think I wore flannel half the days in 2017)
3. Fenty Pro Filt’r Soft Matte foundation (matte but not flat or drying sunscreen free foundation in a perfect color match?! Thank you Rihanna ❤️)
4. Glossier Cloud Paint
5. Colourpop Super Shock eyeshadows (so fun! the holiday duochromes are my favorite)
And if I can add an honorable mention – I know I’m way late to the game but of all the highlighters I got this year, Becca’s are 💫
My top 5 makeup products from the year: 1. L’Oréal Pro Matte Foundation – I love this formula so much. It’s easy to apply, looks great on my skin, lasts all day…only negative is the shade selection. The lightest is too pink and the second lightest is too dark for me. I make it work though. 2. Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush “Exposed” – oh, boy was I late to this! Perfect blush color and formula for me. I have reached for it almost every time I wear blush! 3. Urban Decay “Sidecare” eyeshadow – technically this is in my Naked 1 palette, but I don’t want to count the whole palette as a favorite, just this eyeshadow. It does have some fallout, but I wet my brush to minimize. This shade is gorgeous all over the lid and blended into the crease. It’s perfect for an easy look that still makes me look put together. 4. Dior Diorshow Mascara – I have always been the type of person that thought high end mascaras were not worth the price until I tried this one! One coat and my lashes look natural, but lifted and fuller. Two coats and my lashes still look natural, but INCREDIBLE. Holy grail for sure. 5. Essence Pure Nude highlight – technically I didn’t discover this in 2017, but it was my favorite highlighter for the year. I reached for it the most because it was so natural looking, but also incredibly beautiful. I got compliments every time I wore this.
Still have yet to take the plunge for the TF quads but this post may send me there.
Love your blog!

5) and Huda Beauty matter liquid lipstick in Trophy Wife.
I could seriously go on and on 😀
My favorite type of posts! It’s hard to choose lip favorites for me as I sometimes feel like too many are good and they are too different to compare. My favorite bronzer is the one from filmstar palette Charlotte Tilbury and my absolutely favorite blush is Max Factor Nude Mauve. I got Houglass Mood exposure with a hope it will be the fancy version of Nude mauve but it turns so different on skin. It turns coral instead of mauvie natural looking shade and I read it looks coral on lots of people. So while the blush is good it’s a bit disappointing as shade changes on skin so much:/
1) Stellar Illuminating Powder
2) Albeit Blush Stick
3) Tom Ford Highlighting Palette
4) Le Metier de Beaute Beautyprofessor shade lipstick (my favorite)
5) Le Metier de Beaute Afterglow foundation
There were so many game changers this year. Sculpt & Strobe palette by Pixi X MaryAmNYC, model’s Own highlighter in, ugh I always forget the name, but it’s Like Desert Sand I think, seems stupid that I can’t remember the name because it’s my favorite highlighter of the year. Kat Von D’s new Tattoo Lock It Concealer, Pixi lip pencils, and Buxom Plumpliners lip liners. If any of my followers read this, now you won’t need to watch my video, lol
I really enjoy reading everyone’s answers
My absolute favorite lipsticks have been Charlotte Tilbury. Love!
I appreciate this great round up of your favourite! I never heard of L’Oréal lash paradise. Looks like I’ll be heading to the drug store shortly to find this!
My five favs were the Dior Luminizer 001 (on your recommendation), Burberry Glow Wet/Dry eyeshadow in Nude, Marc Jacobs liquid eyeliner in Blaquer, MAC Studio Fix Plus (another great recommendation from Ms Sabrina & the YSL Vinyl Lipstick in Burgundy Vibes.
Looking forward to 2018 & new BeautyLookBook reviews! Happy New Year!

5. Tom Ford honeymoon eyeshadow palette
My favourites also include some older items: Hourglass ambient lighting palette, Hourglass ambient powder blush in mood exposure, Tom Ford lipsticks from the boys range, Byredo Bal D’Afrique perfume and Portrait of a Lady perfume by Frederick Malle. I wasn’t overly excited by makeup this year which is unusual. I tended to veer towards skincare and perfume.
Lovely picks
My favorites were also the Chrissy teigen palette, feuilles Chanel stylo, my Chanel tweed blush I got in Italy (they said it was a euro exclusive), just got into lipsense this year and fenty beauty face sticks
My favorite beauty products this year are :
NYX Professional Makeup Stay Matte But Not Flat Liquid Foundation
L.A. Girl PRO.conceal HD High Definition Concealer
Loreal Voluminous Lash Paradise Waterproof Mascara
MAC Relentlessly Red Retro Matte Lipstick

Great review _ thanks Sabrina!!
Fantastic selections:
My favourites from this year are:
Foundation: Chosungah 22 in Porcelain
Eyeshadow Palette: Huda Beauty Smokey Obsessions and Clarins Natural Palette 03 in Brown – very similar to TF Nude Dip
Lipsticks: Clarins Joli Rouge Lipsticks in Ginger, Red Terra and Cinnamon Spice and Elizabeth Arden’s Ceramide lipsticks in Rustic Red and Bronze Cocoa.
For Australian readers of this blog – I also love the Nude by Nature BB Creme in porcelain and their Airbrush Primer as well as Natio’s Blush/Highlighter in Sunkissed. Natio’s Golden Eyeshadow palette is pretty good value for under $20Aud. too.
That’s a tough question, Sabrina! I will say Tom Ford Nude Dip, Armani Luminous Silk foundation, Boy Brow brow gel, Nars Satin Lip Pencil in Rikugien (rediscovering an old favourite), and Diorshow mascara. Thanks for all the inspiration this year!

Love your posts, your photography is always wonderful.
My favorites include Urban Decay Vice Lipsticks, Tarte Shape Tape and Tarte Timeless Smoothing Primer, Hourglass Ambient Lighting Blush and Becca Opal Highligter
It’s hard to pick my favourites of the year, but here goes:
1) Anastasia Beverly Hills Modern Renaissance palette
2) Viseart Amethyst Theory
3) Charlotte Tilbury Secret Salma
4) Chantecaille Luster Glide Silk Eyeliner
5) Hourglass Ambient Lighting Bronzer
great picks! I’m enjoying the lash paradise as well…
My top 5 is tricky as I didn’t buy huge amounts, mainly just repeats and a few rather pricy items..
1.Pat McGrath Mother Ship Subliminal palette – best neutral shade ever and fun shades too.
2.Pat McGrath Labs Metalmorphosis 005 everything kit – LOVE the cream eyeshadows
3.Stila Glitter & Glow Liquid Eye Shadow in Diamond Dust – its just so sparkly.
4.LipStick Queen matte lip gloss in Honest Politician (not new to the world, but new to me and it’s great as blush too and I love a cream product)
5.and… L’Oreal Miss Baby Roll Mascara, it doesn’t seem to budge, holds a curl a little even though it isn’t waterproof and it’s pretty easy to remove… where some of my other mascaras feel like they need a few goes…. it’s a little clumpish – but I kind of like that so it works for me!
Nude Dip is one of my all time favourite quads too. I’ve barely worn any make-up this year, but newly discovered favs include Glossier Cloud Paint, Charlotte Tilbury kohl eyeliner and the Burberry brow stylo.
Thank you for the 2017 amazing wrap up post
I always appreciate your blog – the beautiful photos and how you give detailed bits and all that!
Your effort shows and it gives me the urge to catch up with new launches more often 🙂
My top picks for 2017:
1) Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray – living in hot and humid country like Thailand makes it the priority!
2) Burberry Eye Color Contour in Pale Copper (+ together with their pale barley shadow takes me no time to achieve the easy yet gorgeous eye look ever!)
3) Giorgio Armani Power Fabric in #2 – the lasting power is amazing
4) Cle de Peau Beaute Luminizing Face Enhancer #15 – my most loved highlighter ever!
5) Chanel Rouge Allure Ink in 140 Amoureux – comfy matte lip for everyday use
Top makeup favs: Su:m 37 sun cooling cushion, chica y chico concealer, 3CE x Barbapapa palette, Etude house lipstick in BE109, VS plumping gloss
