In a January 2026 YouTube video, Taylor Margaret (@drugstoremaven) puts a wave of new drugstore makeup to the test with a full-face application and wear test.

What did Taylor Margaret say about the new ColourPop Brow Boss?

She used the new Brow Boss gel from ColourPop. “I’ve been using this over the last week or so, and I’m not ready to say that it’s as good as Maybelline, but it is up there,” she noted.

How was the Revolution Skin Silk Glow Foundation Stick?

This was a first impression. “I don’t think it’s an accident that it looks a lot like the Charlotte Tilbury stick foundation,” Taylor observed. She found the texture thick and balmy. “If you have super dry skin and you want something that’s really emollient and rich, you may really like this. For me, I’m already excited to take it off.”

What about the e.l.f. Soft Glam Satin Concealer?

Taylor used the shade Light Warm. “These shades always run a little bit darker than you think,” she advised, applying a heavier hand due to the foundation's light coverage. Her first impression was positive: “This is really quite easy to blend.”

What was the verdict on the e.l.f. Halo Glow Silky Powder Highlighter?

“Holy moly. This is reminding me of 2016 for sure,” was her immediate reaction. “I personally like the balmy ones a little bit better, but I’m going to keep playing around with it.”

Did she like the Maybelline Lash Sensational Body Mascara?

She used the waterproof version. “I love how this applies. You can put so much on and it doesn’t get clumpy,” Taylor said. “Still looks pretty fluttery, but I built up a lot of coats and I really like this blonde.”

What about the new Maybelline Serum Lipstick?

She tried the satin formula in the shade 101 Upstate. “Really pretty, really smooth formula and a very wearable color,” was her assessment.

How did the Milani Make It Last Moisture Boost Setting Spray perform?

Taylor tested this alcohol-free setting spray on one half of her face. “I did notice a really big difference right when I put it on to remove that powdery look,” she reported. “I don’t know if you can tell, even like on my chin in the areas where I don’t have any highlighter, my skin looks really dewy.”
