20 Eyeshadow Palette ($99), with 20 shades, was also a best-seller. By the way, the brand’s eyeshadow palette, Beauty Style Eye-Con No. Sucessfull mascaras were Lashcraft Length & Volume Mascara, from Sephora Collection ($12), that provides volume, and Velvet Noir Mascara, from Marc Jacobs ($26). Speaking about eye pencils, Inside Track Eye Kajal, from The Estée Edit ($22) and Aqua XL Waterproof Eyeliner from Make Up For Ever ($21) were the favorites – this last one is waterproof. Oh, and the Make Up For Ever highlighter was introduced in the Pro Sculpting Duo, and finally available on its own. By the waym Becca and Hourglass are brands that deserve your attention at Sephora. Let’s start with makeup! Champagne Splits Shimmering Skin Perfector Mineral Blush Duo, from Becca ($38), Pro Light Fusion Undetectable Luminizer, from Make Up For Ever ($39) and Ambient Lighting Edit – Surreal Light, from Hourglass ($80) show us that women bought a special makeup product in 2016: highlighters. The complete list is here – I preferred not include the perfumes and some special sets and brought here the categories I thought were more interesting: makeup, hair and skin care. This kind of information turns out to be a good thermometer – and a good source for figuring out what it’s doing well and what is trending. As a beauty lover, of course I loved it when I saw a story on Allure’s website listing the top-selling cosmetics at Sephora in 2016. I don’t know about you, but I love lists! And, particularly, I love retrospective lists.
