If you feel like a new beauty brand is announced every month, we totally get it – if it’s not a new celeb brand, it’s a TikTok derm. And don’t get us wrong, we LOVE trying new products and are always here to support new faces in the spotlight, but sometimes it can feel a bit overwhelming knowing which brands to invest your hard-earned coin into and what to pass on. Today, we’re here to help with three influencer collaborations we’re super excited about, and you should be too.

1. Noor Stars MAC Maker

The 411: If you’re based in the Middle East, you’re probably familiar with Noor Stars, AKA the number one YouTuber in the region known for her hilarious skits and authentic content. We could sit and watch her for hours, but when we’re not on YouTube, we’re constantly double tappin’ her feed, which is full of glam lifestyle and beauty snaps that inspire us. As you’d expect from this Arab queen, her makeup is always on point, so it made total sense when MAC asked her to be a part of their MAC Maker campaign and represent the region.

The collab: Noor’s MAC Maker shade is the most stunning dusty rose that we know will be a slam dunk in the Middle East – it’s a highly coveted hue in the region. When discussing the collab with Vogue Arabia, Noor said, “My shade was inspired by my daily life needs when it comes to lipstick. A shade suitable for everyone, everywhere, and at all times.” Well, she nailed it! It has the same ride-or-die matte formulation you know and love that’s super creamy, comfortable, and pigmented. Plus, it has the coolest gold and turquoise packaging, so it’ll look chic AF on your glam station.

The 411: If you’ve been following @MakeupShayla for years like we have, you’ll know her wedding was by no means a minimal affair. In fact, it was a week-long, destination wedding attended by all your fave beauty moguls and influencers. First came the bachelorette, which honestly looked like one of the best yacht parties of the year, and then came an array of stunning bridal looks. Seriously, Shayla came through time and time again – we were lowkey drooling over our phone. So when we heard she created a bridal collab, we couldn’t wait to get our makeup-loving claws onto it. Whether you’re a guest, the maid or honor, or the main event, her new Dose of Colors Collection has got you covered. Side note: we dare you to watch the wedding video without crying.

The collab: For her bridal collab, Shayla created the most stunning eight-pan eyeshadow palette named Wifey, $38, featuring a mix of shimmer and matte shadows in gorgeous nude-for-you tones. This palette will deliver whether you want a soft glam moment or are looking to add some drama with a smokey eye. But that’s not the only palette Shayla is dropping, she’s also releasing the Happily Ever After Blush + Highlighter, $34, inspired by the complexion look from her iconic nuptials, which are hella pigmented, so you don’t have to worry about touch-ups. Of course, no look is complete without a lip, so Shayla also created the Icing on the Cake Lip Trio, $39, featuring a lip liner, matte, and gloss so you can plump up your lips, ready for that ‘I do’ moment.

Top pick: Happily Ever After Blush + Highlighter, $34,

3. Pretty Little Thing X Amrezy

The 411: If you live for the snatched life, you need to start following Amrezy. MAC MUA turned influencer is known for all things glam. We’re not exaggerating, she radiates Fergie levels of G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S. And, of course, her beat is always flawless, whether she’s dining out or leveling up beauty deals, so it was only a matter of time before she gave us some goodies. Today, she’s partnering with Pretty Little Thing, and it’s BIG…

The collab: Amrezy has packed her collection full of makeup must-haves that are about to become your everyday staples. Inspired by her personal faves, there’s an array of luxurious and buildable lip products, some super pigmented cream blushes, and liquid highlighters for a lit-from-within glow beat for #badass boss energy.

Top pick: Lipgloss 03 Light Up, $10
