My biggest love is trying new skincare products. In close second place is trying new makeup products and/or brands. Whether it's a brand I already love or a brand that I've never tried anything from before, I find it so much fun trying new things! In early 2025, I got the opportunity to try a makeup brand that's been on my wishlist for a while - Vieve.

An array of Vieve makeup products


Now, I know that Vieve has been around for a while now, but it's a brand I only started trying in mid-late 2025. It's a brand widely used by many celebs and content creators, so when Vieve sent me some products to try, there was no way I was going to pass up that chance of trying their makeup!

Firstly, who is Vieve?

Vieve is a beauty and makeup brand founded by Jamie Genevieve. The brand sells a wide range of PETA-approved beauty and makeup products. 

Here's a review of the Vieve products I've tried:

1) Vieve Skin Nova

If you're looking for something to give your skin that extra glow with or without makeup, the *Skin Nova is the product for you. This makeup primer contains ingredients that hydrate, prime, and illuminate the skin. You can apply this before your foundation, or, if you're having a no-makeup day, it gives your skin a lovely glow. This multi-tasking primer contains Beta-Glucan and Niacinamide and is suitable for all skin types.

I love this primer on non-makeup days. It gives my skin that lovely glow without it looking too illuminated. I prefer to use this for non-makeup days rather than wearing it under my foundation, but that's just personal preference.

2) Vieve Modern Lip Definer and Matte Lipstick in Shade Brat

I thought I'd tie these two in together as I've got both in the same shade.

The *Modern Lip Definer is an absolute game-changer for lip liners. This lip liner in particular has a lovely creaminess and glides on my lips so effortlessly. This shade has a slightly darker edge, but I love it and generally use it for an evening look.

The *Matte Lipstick is enriched with lip-loving ingredients such as Vitamin E. So it comes as no surprise that the formula provides nourishment and moisturisation to the lips. It is described as having a matte finish. However, it does have a subtle gloss, not very noticeable, but still there. Most importantly, it lasts for the majority of the day, which is a huge plus!

Both come in a variety of shades to choose from, so you can mix and match between the liner and the lipstick!

3) Vieve Modern Radiance Concealer

This hyaluronic acid-infused *Modern Radiance Concealer does exactly what it says on the bottle. It brightens the undereyes and colour corrects the skin to give a naturally perfected, radiant finish. I've always struggled to find the perfect concealer. But I can safely say that this one works wonders. 

I even like to use this on non-makeup days just to make me look less tired! It lasts for most of the day, and I never really need to top it up. It's easy to apply, it blends in well, and gives amazing coverage.

It's safe to say it's going to remain a staple in my makeup bag for the foreseeable future!

4) Vieve Sunset Blush Balm in Shade Rosa

When it comes to blush, I tend to opt for powder rather than liquid. But since using this blush, I've fully converted to liquid blush. The *Sunset Blush Balm is enriched with skin-loving ingredients like Vitamin C & E and has a luminous, buildable formula. This adds a gorgeous shade to my cheekbones, and I absolutely adore the shade I am using, Rosa. It really does give a sun-kissed look throughout the seasons.

As it's buildable, you can add as little as you want, so one tube definitely goes a long way. This buildable blush comes in four other shades.

5) Vieve Eye Wand in Shade Smoke

I'm so used to using eyeshadow palettes and powder eyeshadow on my eyes that I've never considered trying an eyeshadow stick. This *Eye Wand colours, contours and defines the eyelids, giving amazing colour and coverage. It's smooth, blendable and easy to apply. 

It has a lovely creamy formula and blends in easily. Sometimes I've used this as eyeshadow, and other days, I've used it as an eyeliner. I would say that I need to hold the lid to ensure perfect application (if that makes sense), but all in all, I'm really pleased with it. I'm eager to try one (or more) of the other shades on offer!

6) Vieve Lip Dew in Shade Socialite

The *Lip Dew offers a high-shine finish like a lip gloss. It has nourishing ingredients like Vitamin E and Camellia oil, so the lips won't dry out. One aspect of this lip gloss is that you can wear it alone or layer it over your favourite lipstick to add that glossy finish. 

I use it on its own as a base lip product. I love that the Lip Dew offers a non-sticky formula, so the lips stay hydrated during wear. This item also comes in nine other shades.

So these are the Vieve makeup products I've used so far!

If I do end up buying any new Vieve products, I will certainly add to this review! As far as makeup goes, Vieve offers quality makeup products, and I can see why it gets top-notch reviews on its website. Their packaging is a minimalist's dream. I anticipate what Vieve will release next, and I'm sure I'll be at the front of the queue to try the next new thing!

Investing in skincare devices is a big commitment. It's not like committing to buying a new brand of tomato sauce; it is a costly investment. I ask myself many questions when assessing whether to buy a new skincare device. As I said, it's a big commitment and investment, and I don't want to put all my eggs in one basket, as it were. I want to be certain it's the right decision and worth the money. You guys know already that I'm a huge fan and advocate for CurrentBody and their incredible, innovative skincare devices. I'd stand on top of Mount Everest and shout it all around if I need to! One of my most favourite skincare devices I have ever used and still use is the CurrentBody LED Mask Series 2.

But what are the most FAQ myself and CurrentBody receive about the red light therapy mask? Before I delve into those most asked questions, I'll provide a little background info on the brand and device.

Who is CurrentBody?

CurrentBody has revolutionised skincare over the last 16 years since its founding. The brand creates and sells innovative skincare devices that help with skin issues such as anti-ageing, rosacea, pigmentation and wrinkles. The brand also has a device that promotes hair growth.

Which CurrentBody devices have you used/still use?

I've tried and used (and still use) many of their products, and they've all worked miracles for my skin and hair.


Read my review of the CurrentBody LED Mask Series 2 (which includes a comparison to the Series 1 mask).
Read my review of the CurrentBody Neck & Dec Mask.
Read my review of the CurrentBody Hair Growth Helmet.


One of the brands I get the most frequent questions about is CurrentBody
 
In particular, the CurrentBody LED Mask Series 2 is definitely the skincare device I get asked about most. In this post, I'm going to debunk any myths and get stuck into the most FAQ about the red light therapy device.

The CurrentBody LED Mask Series 2.


Here are the FAQ I receive about the CurrentBody LED Mask Series 2:

1) What is the difference between Red Light and Blue Light therapy

Red Light Therapy focuses on boosting collagen production, soothing inflammation and calming redness, reducing fine lines and wrinkles, eliminating dark undereye circles and enhancing your skin's tone and texture. The CurrentBody LED Mask Series 2 does that in abundance and gives amazing results.

Blue Light Therapy focuses on acne-prone skin. I should note that Blue Light Therapy does NOT prevent acne. If you are someone who suffers from mild to moderate acne, Blue Light Therapy is for you as it treats active acne breakouts, soothes inflammation and reduces redness caused by acne breakouts.

2) Does the LED Mask help with dark undereye circles?

Absolutely! One of the great aspects of this LED mask is that it gives full coverage under the eyes, so it can eliminate those pesky dark circles underneath. One thing I have truly noticed when using the CurrentBody LED Mask Series 2 is how much brighter my undereyes look. The deep NIR (near-infrared) wavelengths in the eye sections of the mask penetrate to the deepest layer of the skin to combat dark circles and deep wrinkles.

Other LED Masks don't offer enough coverage under the eyes due to the design of the mask, which means the undereyes won't get the full benefit of the LED lights. The CurrentBody LED Mask Series 2 gives full coverage under the eyes so the LED lights can work their magic! 


Here is a before and after photo of how the device has changed my undereyes for the better:

3) Is it safe to use?

This question is one I get an awful lot. One thing you should know about me is that I would NEVER use a device I didn't think was safe to use. With beauty and skincare products, you have to be careful what you use and where you buy them from. Damaging the skin using unsafe products is dangerous and can affect your skin's health long-term.

With CurrentBody, their products are FDA-approved, and if that wasn't reassuring enough, they also use something called Veritace. 

Veritace tests each LED bulb that is used for each mask to test its precision. They only select the LED bulbs that meet industry standards. Every mask that is made goes through a round of precision testing. They measure each mask for precision, power and consistency to earn Veritace's and most importantly, the industry's approval. When you buy a CurrentBody LED Mask Series 2, it comes with a Veritace card, which you tap with your phone, a link will appear, and you will see the rigorous testing Veritace your mask has gone through.

For those concerned about the LED lights and eyesight, it won't affect your eyesight; it's completely safe from that perspective. I'm short-sighted, and I've not noticed any changes to my eyesight. The mask comes with eye inserts, which you slot into the eye holes on the mask to diminish the glare from the LED lights while in use. You can read, watch TV or scroll through your phone while using.

So to sum up, yes, this particular mask is incredibly safe to use!

4) How easy is it to fit into your routine?

My blogging buddy Claire asked me this, and honestly, it's so easy to fit into your routine. Once you get into the habit of using it, it'll become second nature. Obviously, everybody's daily routines are different. So, for me, I complete a 10-minute treatment with the mask in the morning after I wake up and before my morning skincare routine. Others prefer to use the mask right before bedtime to unwind after a long day.

If you get into the habit of forgetting to do it, set reminders on your phone and have set days for when you can fit in a 10-minute session. For me, my set days are Monday, Wednesday and Friday, so it's easy to get into the habit of using the mask!

Also, it's only a 10-minute treatment time. There's no downtime involved. One feature of the CurrentBody LED Mask I love is the clip-on controller. You can clip it to your bottoms and complete tasks on the go while the mask works its magic.

5) How long until I see results?

Now, as with anything new you try for your skin or hair, you are not going to see results overnight. You need to get into the habit of using the mask. Honestly, consistency is key. If you're not consistent with using the LED mask, you're not going to get the desired results you're after. 

As I stated in the previous question, create a set routine for when you can fit in the mask. Have set days, and you will definitely get into the habit of using the mask. 

In terms of when you will see results, if used consistently, you will notice signs of improvement after about 8 weeks. But this varies from person to person, depending on their skin and its health. So don't be disheartened if you don't see immediate results. Trust the process!

6) Is it comfortable to wear

This version of the mask is completely comfortable to wear! It comes with a multi-way strap which wraps around your head for a secure fit and maximum comfort.

The mask itself is made of flexible liquid silicone that contours to every face shape and provides maximum coverage, including the chin area.

7) Why should I buy the CurrentBody LED Mask Series 2 if my local beauty salon offers Red Light therapy sessions?

I'm going to tread carefully on this question as I don't want to offend any beauty therapists who currently offer this service. I've noticed in recent weeks that a few local beauty salons and therapists I follow on different platforms offer Red Light therapy treatments. Don't get me wrong, it's fantastic that they can offer that service/treatment. 

However...

To see results, you need to consistently have Red Light therapy treatments to gain optimal results. As I've said before, consistency is key. It is recommended that, to see great results, you use an LED mask around 3-5 times a week. I've seen some users say they use their CurrentBody LED mask 7 days a week. Don't get me wrong, it's great that that person can fit in that many sessions a week! Using the mask that much won't overstimulate the skin, but using it 3-5 times a week is best.

Thinking about cost, say you're going back and forth to your local beauty salon for this service, it's going to become a costly expense every week/month. But if you buy the CurrentBody LED Mask Series 2, it's one big investment, I know, but you have the option of having a professional treatment in the comfort of your own home. 

8) Is it worth the money?

Definitely! I honestly adore this LED mask, and I love how much of a difference it's made to my skin and its overall health. My skin has a glow, my dark circles have reduced significantly, and my skin feels and looks as youthful as it's ever done! I know it is a costly investment, but in the long run, it's worth it, and you certainly won't be disappointed! 

Here is a before and after image from before I started using the mask back in 2024 to now:



As you can see, my skin has a lovely glow and looks radiant about it since I started using this mask. My dark undereye circles have almost diminished too!

The features of this mask are fantastic! It's comfortable to wear, it's easy to fit into my routine, it gives results, and most importantly, it's safe. 

I hope that this post has helped you to decide to buy a CurrentBody LED Mask Series 2!
