Our Editors Buy These 12 Beauty Products Over and Over Again

"I have tried dozens of setting sprays, but nothing ever compares to the Urban Decay All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray ($33) — it keeps my makeup in place all day long. The mist is fine, so it evenly goes across my face, and the formula itself doesn't make my face become slick like some setting sprays do. Whether it's the cold of winter or the heat of summer, this spray makes sure my face of makeup never ever budges." — Macy Cate Williams, senior editor, Commerce

"This was one of the first beauty products I bought because of a YouTube review back in like the early days of beauty blogging. I've been constantly repurchasing this since high school and now it's been around 10+ years. It's the only thing in my makeup routine that has stayed consistent. It keeps my makeup looking blended and flawless. It adds the perfect amount of hydration so my skin doesn't look too cakey or overdone. The setting spray truly makes my makeup last all night, from dance floors to day-to-night traveling adventures, and more. I can't quit this setting spray." — Anvita Reddy, editorial assistant, commerce

"This Dr. Jart+ Cicapair Tiger Grass Color Correcting Treatment SPF 30 ($52) came out back when I was a wee little beauty editor (getting a few small formulation upgrades along the way) and even all these years later, remains one of the most impressive products I've tried to date. When it got its second wind on TikTok last year, with everyone touting its game-changing abilities, it reminded me of just how excited I was when I first used it, too. All of this is to say: everything people are saying is true — and your skin-care game will never be the same because of it." — Kelsey Castañon, beauty director

"I didn't comprehend just how happy a hair dryer could make me until I got the Dyson Supersonic Hair Dryer ($400). It's pricey, but it's worth every single penny in my opinion. It cuts drying time in half and helps reduce the amount of frizz in my waves. The cult-following it has is well-earned." — Jessica Harrington, associate editor, Beauty

"Ok, yes, this Augustinus Bader The Cream ($170) is very expensive. It's also a moisturizer that will give your skin a glow you'd only ever dreamed of. The proprietary formula is, to put it lightly, magical, and I've never gotten more compliments on my skin. I cherish every single drop." — IY

"If there's one beauty product I can't leave my house without, it's mascara. A couple of swipes on my lashes makes me feel ready for the day, and after years of searching for the best mascara, I have finally found it. My holy grail mascara is only 11 bucks, and drumroll please, it's the L'Oreal Paris Voluminous Lash Paradise Mascara ($11). Now, I would usually be opposed to wearing waterproof mascara every day (taking it off seems like a hassle), but since I wear a lot of face moisturizer these days, I've found waterproof to be the only formula that doesn't rub off on my eyelids. If you're looking for an affordable clump-free mascara that won't budge all day long, this is it." — Lauren Harano, editorial assistant, Living

"I'm a big Drunk Elephant fan, and every time the brand launches a new product I can't wait to give it a try. The Drunk Elephant F-Balm Electrolyte Waterfacial Mask ($52) came out over a year ago, and I still get excited to use it. I exfoliate a lot, and sometimes depending on the weather changes or travel, my skin just gets a little bit more dry than normal. This hydrating mask literally feels like a refreshing boost for my skin, whether I'm in desperate need of it or not. Within seconds of application I can feel my skin soaking it up, and afterwards I always look so dewy and fresh." — Krista Jones, editor, Commerce

"When I run out of my current jar of the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask ($22) it will be a sad day. I use this lip treatment every night before bed and it's the only thing that keeps my lips from getting dry and chapped. Over 20 dollars may seem steep for a lip product, but the tiniest bit goes a long way — it takes me over a year to go through the entire thing." — JH

"Maybelline New York has plenty of cult-worthy mascaras but the Maybelline Falsies Lash Lift Mascara ($11) is my personal favorite. It lifts, it lengthens, it separates, and it doesn't budge. I like to test different mascaras often but I always keep a tube or two of this one on hand. The brush and formula are *chefs kiss.*" — JH

"Years ago at a beauty event, there were mini samples of the Sunday Riley Good Genes All-In-One Lactic Acid Treatment ($85) out on a table and I witnessed editors flock to grab as many as they could before they were gone. That was my first experience with the product. Now that it's become a regular in my own nighttime routine, I finally get it. This treatment leaves skin glowing and smooth. I'm obsessed." — JH

"I started using the Tula The Cult Classic Purifying Face Cleanser ($28) back when I was in college and I still use it to this day. It's simple yet so effective at cleansing your face and reducing breakouts without leaving your skin feeling dry. I'm constantly asked by friends if it's as good as people say — it is." — JH
