20 Younique Reviews & Complaints
Looking for a different brand? See All Skincare Brands.
Younique’s reviews are dominated by the MLM business model rather than product quality alone.
While some users enjoy the makeup, many customers and former “Presenters” express significant frustration over high prices and pressure to buy inventory.
Former distributors report feeling emotionally manipulated, losing money, and being in a “cultish grip,” indicating a highly negative structural and financial experience.
Overall takeaway: The brand’s reputation is heavily damaged by its MLM structure and the financial losses experienced by its sellers.

It worked for hydration but clogged my pores. I had to stop after two weeks.
I tried a couple of Younique makeup products and had mixed results. The mascara worked okay, but some other items didn’t blend as well as I hoped. The prices seem high compared to similar products on the market.
I purchased a mascara and liquid lipstick from Younique through a friend who sells it. The mascara adds a lot of volume and length, which I really like. It lasts most of the day without smudging.
My bestie liked hers so maybe its just me. I like the brow gel but its not spectacular.
In chemistry lab i forgot my sunscreen so i used the Younique Moodstruck 3D Fiber Lashes+ and a bit of their tinted moisturizer before class pics. The lashes made my eyes look way bigger and my lab partner said i looked awake even though i was exhausted. Moisturizer was pretty light but by lunch my nose was shiny. Still would keep the mascara tho.
I wouldn’t repurchase
I ordered Younique foundation and brow pencil. The foundation matched my skin tone ok but felt heavy after few hours. The brow pencil was decent but faded by midday. Packaging was cute so points for that. Id try other colors next time but not sure if i repurchase often.
Bought Younique mascara and lip stain from a friend selling it. The mascara was ok but flaked after few hours, and lip stain looked better online than in real life. I liked the lip color tho but it dried my lips. Not sure if i would buy from this brand again. The seller was nice but products didnt do much for me.
I tried Younique because a friend sells it and I wanted to support her. The mascara is actually really good and lasts all day. Some of the skincare items felt average though. I dont love the MLM setup but I cant deny a few products worked well for me. Shipping took longer than expected but everything arrived fine.
Honestly didnt like Younique powder, it made my skin look dull. might be just me but didnt work well.
The mascara has great color but did not give me as much volume as I hoped for. Some products are good, some are average. I still use the shadows though.
It is a little bit too watery for me or maybe it doesn’t go along with my skin because I sweat too much
The mascara flakes and smudges on my eye area, I started looking like a panda!
Packaging was cute but mascara flaked on me by midday.
I’ve used Younique’s foundation and highlighter for about six months. The texture is smooth and doesn’t cake even on humid days.
Made my eyelashes longer, and it last until I got home! I definitely would recommend this brand.
I like that Younique offers direct‑selling and community support, and the packaging is sleek. My issue: I feel the price is high and I found variants with better ingredient lists from other indie brands. Can’t say I regret the order, but I’m not rushing back.
I tried Younique’s lash serum and marketed mascara bundle after reading good things, but in my case the mascara smudged, and I wasn’t convinced the lash serum did much. The brand feel is strong, but for me the results didn’t match the hype.
I tried some products from Younique because I heard good things, but for me the mascara smudged and the concept of the brand felt overly marketed. The promise of ‘amazing lashes’ wasn’t fully delivered (on me at least). They have some interesting ideas but my experience wasn’t great this time.
Lip stain looked neon on me and clung to dry spots. Lasted, but not in a flattering way.
