Ahh, 2021, what a crazy year it’s been! It’s tough for sure but there are moments of hope and beauty to be found in between, don’t you think? I want to congratulate you for surviving and for being brave in persevering towards your goals, no matter how big or how small. What you’ve done this year is no inconsequential thing - you know how hard the struggle was, but I hope you remember what you’ve achieved as well. Just putting on your skincare and makeup is an act of defiance. It’s you telling the world, “You will see me, and you will listen.”

And so, it’s 2022 in just a few days, and we’d like to end the year by celebrating the best beauty products that the Project Vanity Community has tried in 2021. The Community has spoken and here’s what you absolutely need to try (if you haven’t yet)! Did your faves make it to the list?

Could you believe that we’re only 21 days away from a new decade? And what a decade it has been for beauty! We began our obsession with full, perfectly-groomed eyebrows, our love affair with matte liquid lipstick, and a keen desire for long-wearing, full-coverage, yet ultra-comfortable foundation. K-Beauty became the undisputed trend and technology leader for beauty all over the world. Even so, we saw the rise of Filipino beauty brands as we became more competitive and world-class - now that’s a plot twist!

This 2019, the Project Vanity Community has spoken and voted for their best finds this year. Let’s see what captured our hearts (and wallets) in 2019, shall we?
