Have you ever noticed that there’s a “Best of” or “Top 5” story in your news feed nearly every week? These eye-catching lists grab our attention because they purport to narrow down vast categories of products into bite-sized snippets of worthwhile reading. Sadly, most lists are strictly curated compilations meant to drive sales without being based on the one thing most of us trust: honest, first-person reviews.
Since the Beautytap Expert Program is comprised of thousands of top professionals from all aspects of the industry, the reviews they generate are grounded in real-world experience. These diverse beauty pros deliver honest, detailed opinions – good or bad – in substantive 750-character reviews.
Not only do the following companies make stellar products; they’ve garnered the highest scoring reviews on the platform overall. The following list is entirely data-driven. Facts are facts; and these 10 brands – listed without bias in alphabetical order – are the cream of the crop.
