21 Beauty Products You've Probably Never Heard Of

Being in the beauty industry has its perks, IMO. You get the top secret intel on what products are perpetually in high demand. But it's time to let the cat out of the bag: There are plenty of popular beauty products you've probably never heard of, and it's time to get familiar.

Now, you won't necessarily see them in YouTube videos, where the same several products tend to trend and circulate from vlogger to vlogger. But you will hear them mentioned in the whispers from makeup-obsessed friend to friend over drinks or doughnuts. These products aren't popular because of promotion–they're popular because they actually work. So, though they're some of the best on the market, you might not have heard of them at all.

If you don't work in beauty, it's understandable that you don't have the time to obsessively stalk every blog post and live inside every makeup store. However, this roundup has totally got you covered, no matter what kind of beauty stuff you might be into. Everyone's skin, hair, and beauty needs are different, but some products just universally rise above the rest. Get ready to meet your new best friends, the beauty items that may very well change your life.
