Jason Goldberg, founder of SpaSeekers.com, comments: “Trends come and go, but we were particularly interested in looking at those iconic skincare and make-up products that go down in beauty history. What’s fascinating is the mix of new and classic brands and products – from those that have been around for hundreds of years, to those that have just risen to popularity in the last couple.”

The USA’s Most Popular Beauty Brands and Products
When it came to the USA’s favorite products there were two clear winners, with Charlotte Tilbury’s Flawless Filter ranking as the top for 33 states including New York and California, while Glossier’s ‘You’ perfume ranked as the top product for the remainder of states.
When looking at the brands specifically, Glossier topped the list. The skincare and beauty brand launched less than ten years ago, back in October 2014 by founder Emily Weiss, and is now a global beauty brand, valued at $1.8 billion in 2021. Some of the brand’s cult products include brow product ‘Boy Brow’, multi-use balm ‘Balm dotcom’ and skincare staple ‘Milk Jelly Cleanser’—leading the brand to be a favorite of 22 states in the US. Recently, Amazon MGM bought the rights to adapt Glossy, a non-fiction book about Glossier and Emily Weiss.
Skincare brand Drunk Elephant follows in second spot, while makeup brands MAC and ColourPop Cosmetics rank in third and fourth spots, emerging as the favorite beauty brands for five and three states respectively. Other beauty brands which make the top list include La Roche Posay, Origins and Aveda.
