As beauty editors, we’re lucky enough to get to try the best new beauty products and innovations. With beauty cupboards at our disposal and new launches landing on our desks each week, it’s safe to say we’re not short of makeup. Glance at our dressing tables and chances are that we’ll have every shade of cream blusher you could imagine, every nude lipstick undertone possible ( you know you can never have too many)—and don’t get us started on our skin tint collection. Along with our bronzers and mascaras, our makeup bags are practically overflowing. If you ever need a makeup reccomendation, you can count on us—we’ve tried it all.
I was curious to know: If the worst were to happen and we lost our makeup bags (full of the cosmetics we religiously reach for daily) what products would beauty editors run to re-order first and foremost? Sure, they’ll be plenty of other makeup options at our disposal due to our jobs, but there are some things we just can’t get by without, whether it be our holy grail tinted SPF or our favourite mascara.
So, I posed the question to fellow beauty editors. Ahead, eight beauty journalists to share their two can’t-live-without makeup products that they’d immediately replace without hesitation. Scroll ahead to find out what they said, and get ready to fall in love with their recommendations too.
