Oh yes! Thank you for the suggestion Frances! I have Duraline from some Phoebe Bridgers eyeshadow experimentation for a Celebrity Makeup Bag video a while ago so I'll give it a try 👍✨ x
I‘ve followed your channel for the last four-ish years and while it has always been the most aesthetically pleasing channel I know (by a landslide), it has been really fun to follow your voice overs getting more and more confident and entertaining on a different level. The concealer bit had me laughing out loud. Please never stop doing this, because this truly is the best beauty channel out there ❤ btw my favorite has been the Bobbi Brown Shimmer Brick Compact in Rose
Emily! Can't tell you how much this means 🥹❤️ Over the past 7 years of uploading, my confidence has definitely had its ups and downs with the inevitable criticism and hate that comes with having a larger audience, but I'm feeling more comfortable and free to have fun here (at the moment haha, it honestly changes every day based on what I've read in comments and DMs!) so I really appreciate the encouragement and support. Thank you so much! x
So excited for this! I'm on my fourth bottle of Ultra Violette sunscreen and I have three Bobbi Brown crushed lip colours, all because of your recommendations. 🥰
Hard to believe 2024 is coming to a close. Great video Miss Matilda! Thank you for filling our lives with beauty. Wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
This year's faves include Fenty Eaze Drops in shade 3; Kosas Cloud Set in Airy, Huda Beaty setting powder in Banana Bread, RB liquid eyeshadow in Nearly Neutral, MFE Artist Color Pencils in several shades. Blushes and shadow pallettes come in and out with the seasons and my mood, but my 6 pan Milani pallette in 110 Partner in Crime has 3 pans in it, so that says something. Mascara just needs to be black for me, no special devotion to one in particular. Happy Christmas to all!
2024 favourites: Merit Flush Balm in Fox (thanks to you and delivery to Australia this year!) - beautifully natural lit from within glow Fwee Pudding Pot in RS03 Faded - long lasting lip/ cheek colour in very interesting mousse-y/ pudding texture Tatcha The Liquid Silk Canvas - prevents my face from looking like an oily frying pan after a few hours hahaha Thank you for a wonderful year of beautifully informative and calming videos, Matilda! Looking forward to the skincare category, my favourite topic! ❤
My only 2024 new makeup (tool) fave is the Piccasso 2Way Makeup Spatula. I prefer cushion foundations & this really changed the way I apply my base. It's so much easier to apply thinner & more even layers. I pretty much stuck to old faves/holy grails, so there are no new makeup product faves for me this year. Looking forward to your other 2024 favorites! Happy holidays 💛
Ooh I'm so intrigued by this spatula Ira, I'll have to look it up! 👀 Any favourite cushion foundations I should keep an eye out for too? Happy holidays! x
@matildaonvideo iirc Piccasso has 3 spatula variants! The plain makeup spatula (the one that kinda looks like a slim boat paddle) is what I usually see used with liquid foundations/skin tints by Korean beauty content creators. 😊 Cushion foundations I've tried & loved: ‐ Clio: Kill Cover Skin Fixer or Mesh Glow Cushion - Espoir: Pro Tailor Be Velvet or Be Glow Cushion - Rom&nd: NU Zero or Bare Water Cushion - Too Cool For School Fixing Nude Cushion

I’m new to Merit and loved the holiday lip set. I have dry lips and still needed a gloss over, but love the shades. The matte is a matte, but isn’t drying. The Westman Atelier blushes are my favorite for my dry skin. Creamy, but buildable. The BEST!
Yes, the dark brown glacier boy proud also has been my favorite thing this year I think. And this year I found the out that I cannot stand clear brow gel. I hate it.
This year was definitely more skincare driven for me! Fell in love with the avene xeracalm cream, rhode glazing milk, and ilia face base! For complexion I really enjoyed one of your picks, the summer fridays skin tint! Summer fridays was definitely my brand of the year (Sunscreen, skin tint, balms, serum and their new mist!) Definitely want to try out the lisa eldrige skin tint, as well as giving typology skincare a try! Their packaging is to die for. Was looking forward to this video, already excited for next year! Wishing you a happy holiday matilda
Hi Matilda, I always enjoy your videos and discover either new products or rediscover forgotten favourites. And I really look forward to your yearly favourites videos ❤wishing you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas 🎄 and the best for the New Year 💫💥✨
My 2024 favorites: Dior Foundation Stick is my go to for my over age 70 skin. Hourglass Instant Extensions Mascara because it doesn’t smudge on my watery eyes. Armani Luminous Silk Blush in Mystery wears well all day.Armani Prisma Glass Lip Gloss in Amber Shine because it is moisturizing with a my lips but better color. Love your video format!! Happy Holidays to you.
Thank you Martha! A lovely selection here. The Dior Foundation Stick is fabulous but I felt like I tried it too late in the year for it to be a fair inclusion in the video! It only entered my makeup bag a few weeks ago but I love it, so it'll appear in the extended base edit early in the new year instead 😉 x
Thanks for sharing your favorites once again Matilda! I always look forward to this (and really all your videos!). Some of my favs have not changed for years such as my Dior concealer as a spot concealer as I don’t really wear foundation. If I do want a bit of coverage, Chanel water fresh tint was my go to. Tower 28 concealer in a tiny amount to brighten the inner corner of my eyes. Merit mascara was probably my fav of the tubing mascaras, and Clio kill lash for a waterproof option. Just got the ysl and can’t wait to try it. I’m a blush girl so I have loads of them. But rose inc, westman atelier, merit, Patrick ta remain my fav cream blushes. Rare beauty, elf, amd Huda beauty for liquids. Rarely use powder blush but my fav is rms. Makeup by Mario enhancer is the fav cream bronzer again and for powder the Hermes and surratt ones. Such a wonderful finish! I change up colors each season. Pink in spring, corals in summer, toasted burgundy in fall and bright burgundy and berry in winter. But Ive been loving red blush the last few months. Merit and tower 28 cream red blushes have been on repeat. For lips I’ve been loving dark pinks and sheer reds with a brown liner lately. But my go to is a rosy brown and I have loads. Love merit, Dior, Chanel usually non matte formulas. Charlotte tilbury and Lisa Eldridge are my all time fav mattes. Bond girl by CT is my longest wearing color. Dior mahogany lip oil is forever my fav. But the Clinique black honey lip oil is just as used since coming out. I’m a one and done eye shadow gal most often with a light shimmery taupe with a dash of champagne in the center usually. But I love to play with other colors with the seasons, using warm peaches and corals in the summer when my light olive skin gets tan. Wow that was a whole video of my own. Have a happy holiday season!!
This is the kind of comment I love to see!! A beauty lover who can't resist spilling the contents of their makeup bag 😍👏 Such a fantastic assortment, thank you for taking the time to share! Happy holidays to you too x
Already the end of 2024, unbelievable! I watched and enjoyed every video you posted, thank you for making such a high quality content! I wish you happy holidays ❤
Yay, love this favourites video Matilda. ❤️ But no nail polish? I have a few of these products in my 'would love to try' list. My favourites this year have been CT lip cheat liner in Pillow Talk and an E.L.F. lip liner in Baddest Beige (2024 was a big year for liner for me! 😅) Wishing you a Merry Christmas and new year!
So shoutout to Merit. Everything from them, especially the Merit mascara is freaking amazing. I had a meltdown and cried a lot one day while I wore the mascara and it stayed put on me. My makeup looked amazing. The blush I had on blended in with my naturally flushed face after crying. 😂 I don’t mean to be nihilistic. But Merit rocks!
Meltdown-proof makeup is what we all need from time to time, don't worry 😭😂 Glad you're a big fan of their formulas too Victoria! Thank you for watching x
Love getting to see all your beauty favourites! Epanoui is definitely on my wishlist but the Lisa Eldridge product that was on my favourites list this year would be Spirited Away, a safe go to colour for me. Also Mac's Buisness Casual in the Lustreglass range, even got a compliment from my boss!
Yes! You can see both formulas in my old Blotted Lip Look video 💄 I think Bisou Balm feels a little more powdery to me (although I have more experience with the original formula, not the new one). Shade-wise, I reach for Generation G more often! x
I'll have you know I audibly gasped followed with an "Oh my god!' when I saw the thumbnail. I look forward to it every year - always reference back as our tastes are very 1:1. So thank you for this early little Christmas gift for me to squeal at and admire~
I am still in a huge blush phase and 2025 (can’t believe I’m saying that!) just might be the year I try out the WA Cream Blush Stick! I continue to reach for cream over powder so I don’t think it would be a bad investment! As far as favorites go, I discovered my love for the Glossier Ultra Lip (Pony is my favorite shade), I added several cream blushes to my collection that I didn’t need 😂 (Makeup by Mario Soft Pop, Tower 28, Kier Weiss), and fell head over heels in love with the Makeup by Mario Soft Sculpt Cream Bronzer (so much so that it’s my only bronzer) ❤ happy holidays to all!
My 2024 favorites have been Chantecaille Cheek Gelée in Happy (thank you Emily Blunt), Merit Solo Shadow in Midcentury, Lilah B concealer (RIP), and Essence lash primer (drugstore love).
I don’t know why the typology and merit foundations let me down 😞 my favorite of the year was easily rare beauty liquid blush in love. Thanks for a great video 🙏🏻
I'm considering trying the minimalist foundation stick and am wondering which shade to choose. I use Lisa's tint in both 3 (winder shade) and 6 (summer shade). I was looking at the shade bisque. Do you have any suggestion as to which shade I should use?
I wish I was skilled in the art of shade matching to help! I'm shade 3 in Lisa's tint too but could probably go for shade 4 next time, and Dune is my perfect Minimalist shade. I know the MERIT team is very helpful and you can DM them a selfie or photo of yourself in natural light for some advice, so that might be the best approach! ☺️👍 x
i work at ulta in the us and just noticed that that laura mercier caviar stick might be discontinued too!!! i just looked it up and i think they might’ve renamed the shade to forbidden rose? not sure if it’s the exact same shade tho
Aaah this is reason for me to panic Lily! 😱😂 I think Forbidden Rose is a different shade - there were about 6 sticks in that rosy collection to begin with, I wish they'd kept them all around. Very cool to have an Ulta insider watching, thank you! x
I’m loving the shape that your Bobbi Brown Italian Rose bullet is taking on, Matilda! Looking so well loved 💄🥰 Did you have any powder favourites this year?
The better a lipstick looks with just 1-2 swipes, the flatter I will make it apparently 😂💄 Thank you Kat! Just my same mini BY TERRY Hyaluronic Pressed Hydra-Powder - I've mentioned it so many times so I didn't want to bore you haha x
Same number of products as last year, but I really appreciate your enthusiasm! Annual favourites videos take twice as long to make as my regular uploads, so at such a busy time of year, 12-13 minutes feels like the right length for me (I'm a one woman show doing all of my own filming / editing / production, plus my shoulder might dislocate if I had to swatch any more than this 😂😅) x
@ I’m already scoping out Typology and the Vieve shadowsticks, so I can’t really complain! Thank you for your service to my make-up bag, you’re a gem 💎
I've taken advantage of some deals over the past couple of months on lip and cheek products. I bought a mini palette from RMS, a set of three sticks from Milk, and another small face palette from Jones Road. Love the moisturizing I get from the Milk sticks, and Rally is a fun lip color. Haven't really loved the Jones Road palette as much as I hoped; I think I'll try mixing the colors a bit. I'm a big fan of the mini RMS palette! Biggest surprise is that the red (Beloved) looks good on me! I pat it on with my finger for a blotted look; with neutral eyes and cheeks, it feels a bit like the "French girl" look. Oh! And for lip gloss/treatment, you should check out Tower 28!! Their lip softies are lovely, moisturizing, and smell yummy! (Especially Dulce de Leche and Ube Vanilla.)
I think you’d like a lip gloss by Eadem called Boba bounce ( very similar to Cliniques black honey almost lipstick but much more hydrating Merry Christmas!!🎄
I really can't believe 2024 is nearly over, my son has his graduation tomorrow from primary school, next year high school. Can not believe it. I'm loving so many products atm. The only new product I've tried this year is the Laura Mercier loose powder but as always great selection. I'm still loving a lot of Mac products ❤❤❤❤😊😊😊
Oh I have lots, my Mac palette with so many great colours, my studio fix powder, paint pot, my favourite blush is frankly Scarlett, I do have others, Dolly mix ( may be ) it is a bright pink, I haven't worn that in years but I use to wear it a lot. Melba is beautiful as well even peaches ( that is a bit brighter. ) frienda lippie that is a hot pinkie colour. I utterly love that colour. Just so beautiful ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I've only played with the lip oils and liquid bronzer and highlighter briefly while filming some reels, but will test them all out properly in the new year and report back! The tinted serum was the formula that became an instant daily makeup bag addition a few months ago 😍 x
Sorry to hear this Janette! I certainly have a preferred colour palette that suits my skin tone and style, but I can see lots of rose, peach and a pinch of mauve in this assortment too? ☺️ Unfortunately annual favourites are always going to be a recap of my top picks from previous videos, so no surprises here! x
Ooh, your comment is the first I've heard of this so I've not been able to look into it properly yet (if that is ever possible in these situations with limited facts available) but I'm already seeing conflicting information 🤔 Apparently the founder donated to Democrats including Kamala Harris in recent years and the brand was against the overturning of Roe v Wade? x
Heard lots of makeup artists use inglot duraline for dried gel liner or other products that dried up to bring to back to life, love you so much 🎉❤
Oh yes! Thank you for the suggestion Frances! I have Duraline from some Phoebe Bridgers eyeshadow experimentation for a Celebrity Makeup Bag video a while ago so I'll give it a try 👍✨ x

the way you present your videos and your voice never fail to calm me down. Thank you always for your beautiful uploads!
Thank you! Always so special to hear that people find this corner of the internet calming ☺️❤️ x
Love these videos! My top three were Les Filles en Rouje - Poudre Bonne Mine, Glossier lip line in Bit, and Nudestix sun kissed cool
So excited for this! I'm on my fourth bottle of Ultra Violette sunscreen and I have three Bobbi Brown crushed lip colours, all because of your recommendations. 🥰
We're matching Lily! 🥹🥰 So glad to hear you're enjoying them, thank you. And thank you for watching! x
Hard to believe 2024 is coming to a close. Great video Miss Matilda! Thank you for filling our lives with beauty. Wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
I can't believe it either, where did it go?! Thank you for your kind words ☺️❤️ Wishing you a happy and safe festive season too! x
So crazy that this year is coming to a close! Thank you for all the fantastic videos this year and all the more videos to come in the new year! 🥰
*Truly* crazy, isn't it! Where did the year go?! Thank you for your support, as always 🥰 It doesn't go unnoticed! x

The Bakeup palette looks like the neutral palette I’ve been searching for years. Thanks, Matilda!
It IS the neutral palette I'd searched for for years! Such a lovely combination 😍🤎 x
Thank you for this year’s best of beauty! Always a treat when you upload!
Thank you Kalyn! So sweet of you 🥰 x
2024 favourites:
Merit Flush Balm in Fox (thanks to you and delivery to Australia this year!) - beautifully natural lit from within glow
Fwee Pudding Pot in RS03 Faded - long lasting lip/ cheek colour in very interesting mousse-y/ pudding texture
Tatcha The Liquid Silk Canvas - prevents my face from looking like an oily frying pan after a few hours hahaha
Thank you for a wonderful year of beautifully informative and calming videos, Matilda! Looking forward to the skincare category, my favourite topic! ❤

Have you tried Violette’s Bisou Balm? Curious how it compares to Gen G since they’re described so similarly and I would love to hear your thoughts.
Yes! You can see both formulas in my old Blotted Lip Look video 💄 I think Bisou Balm feels a little more powdery to me (although I have more experience with the original formula, not the new one). Shade-wise, I reach for Generation G more often! x
