Spanning signature scents to mascaras, these are the beauty team's all-time favourite buys

"So many multi-use makeup sticks don’t actually work that well on more than one area, but this is unbelievably useful because it creates a 10/10 eye and cheek look (and, in this chalky pink-peach shade a 6/10 lip one, but in bolder hues that’s a 10 too) It’s creamy, applies smoothly and sets to a powder that lasts the day. Plus as my entire article dedicated to this product notes, you have to pay respect to an OG."

"I consider this as much of an essential to my life as my toothbrush or Hayu subscription. It’s instant body makeup, and I put it on my upper arms and legs every time I reveal them, whether that’s in shorts on a hot day at the park, or a slinky strappy dress at a festive party. It blurs, bronzes and veils over redness, lumps, bumps and mottled tone (of which I have a lot) It’s also indescribably transfer-proof - nothing else comes close."

"The idea of having one signature scent is about as appealing to me as eating the same thing for dinner every night. I want options. But, it’s true that if I’m heading out for the night and want to feel confident, sophisticated, and sexy, I rarely deviate from Portrait. This heady rose, forest fruit and patchouli blend has been my after-hours scent for years, so with every spritz I get a memory rush of all the good times I’ve had wearing it. Fun!"

"It is so, so important to exfoliate, especially once your turnover slows and dull, dead cells ‘aint shifting like they used to. If you kind of know this but also kind of forget to do it with any regularity, I promise this will help. It’s a swipe-on liquid that takes all of two seconds to use and feels satisfyingly tingly in an addictive way. It also gives the most instant bang for your buck of any skincare I use (and I use a lot) If I’ve applied this one evening, the next day someone will compliment my glow, guaranteed."

"Just a cute, cheap and cheerful little lip stain that’s forever rolling around the bottom of my bag. I documented wearing this Maybelline Superstay Vinyl Ink in Peachy every single day of my summer holiday last year, and she’s still here with me through rain and shine (mostly rain, currently) As well as being comfortable, long-wearing and a chilled-out don’t even have to think about it colour, I like the way this applies. Easy liquids with doe foot applicators for the win as far as I’m concerned."

"This was the first root-cover I encountered as a baby beauty editor with greys that were mere individual strands. It’s in powder form, with a dense little brush for targeted, unmessy application and is reliably drip-proof in the rain. It also comes in a widest range of colours I’ve seen for this product type. As my strands graduated to a streak and now what can only be described as a 'zone,' my Wow has never let me down. I’ll keep using it until the day I pack it all in and become into one of those fabulous women with long, 100% silver hair and perfect red lipstick."

"I’ll take any opportunity I can to recommend this eyelash curler. While I’m lucky to have quite long lashes, I’m perpetually on the hunt for anything that will give them a fluttery lift without having to douse them in mascara. And their length coupled with a wide lash line means most curlers pinch, kink or even crush the outer lashes. But this curler does everything I need, with a wide and deep design to catch all the lashes delicately without leaving any unwanted effects in its wake."

"I don’t love wearing heavy face makeup everyday, but under-eye circle and hyperpigmentation mean I can’t get away with going totally base-free. This lightweight colour corrector works to neutralise the dark areas on my face, with a velvety texture that glides onto skin, blends easily and lasts all day. Set with a touch of powder, it gives me a subtley brighter and more put-together look for both down and dressed-up day."

"An iconic product for a reason, there’s not much to say about this famous balm that any beauty enthusiast probably doesn’t know already. While many like to use it on hands, elbows or other dry patches on the body, I swear by this for my lips. As a beauty editor, I try so many different lip balms and masks, but this is the only one I notice makes a marked difference when I don’t use it. Truly a long-lasting nourisher, it feels comfortable to wear, is non-sticky and will leave lips (or any other part of the skin) moisturised for hours."

"Such a staple for me that I now rarely wear anything else on my lips, this lipstick-come-hydrating balm has a buttery, velvety feel that gives the lips a subtle flush of colour that lasts for hours. With a universally flattering warm berry blurry shade, it’s one I rely on no matter the occasion."

"The only perfume I can spritz and know I won’t ever tire of by the end of the day, this cult scent truly is my signature. Its woody, ambery and ever-so-slightly gourmand scent with a rich saffron- and cedarwood-infused blend is so unlike anything else I’ve ever tried, and one that still brings a smile to my face any time I catch a whiff of it throughout the day."

"A mascara I’ve used most days for nearly eight years, it’s one of the only products that - as a beauty editor who has to test a lot of newness - I regularly rebuy. It gives my lashes lift, length and just a bit of drama, without flaking, smudging, or dropping during a long day."

"If I had to wear just one perfume for the rest of my life, it would Diptyque's Orphéon. Its fresh and musky notes of juniper berry, cedar, tonka bean and jasmine combine to create the most ethereal sort of scent that just seems to transcend the seasons. I find it lingers so well on my skin and I just never tire of it - a true signature."

"I use this every morning, without fail thanks to the seamless coverage and glow it gives my complexion. It's so easy to apply and blend, it never looks cakey or dry and I've had sooo many compliments on the overall radiance of my makeup since adding it to my routine."

RRP: £46

"As a blush-lover who has tried her fair share of cream and powder formulas, it takes a lot to impress me. This Chanel lip and cheek balm, however, won me over the instant I first dabbed it across my face. I use the shade Berry Boost, and it just delivers the most gorgeous, natural and romantic-looking blush. It's dewy, so easy to blend out, and never separates and pills, even when I use it over and under other cream formulas."

"A true savior for dry and irritated skin, I swear by this treatment and have actually taken to using it as my daily moisturiser. It's rich and so soothing but is still lightweight enough to feel comfortable in the daytime. Plus, it looks so nice under makeup."

"As someone with dry skin, any product that supercharges my skin with hydration and leaves it looking dewy and fresh wins my love and loyalty. I've been through nearly three bottles of this stuff, which really speaks for itself."

"I use this serum day and night and credit it, alongside my Byoma moisturiser, for banishing dryness this winter and keeping my complexion looking dewy and plump. Like my Laneige toner, I'm already on bottle No.3 (oops)."

"I have been using this innovative felt tip lip liner stain almost daily for over six months now and has already joined my list of repurchases once it runs dry. Whenever my pout is in need of some definition or a wash of colour, this is the formula I reach for. Unlike other lip liners on the market, this stain boasts longevity, lasting for hours on end – even withstanding eating and drinking."

"As someone with greasy-prone hair, I'm very particular when it comes to which shampoos I like. Fortunately, Living Proof's Full Shampoo has impressed me so much that it's earned a spot as one of my all-time favourite formulas. Not only does it gently cleanse my scalp, keeping excess oil at bay for longer, but it also works to boost the volume of my flat strands too."

"Now, if anyone asks what perfume I'm wearing, 99% of the time my answer will be Narciso Rodriguez's For Her Intense. Without a doubt, this fragrance is one of the best long-lasting perfumes on the market, which is why it is my signature scent. This blend is always guaranteed to earn me compliments, even hours after spritzing it on. It's a perfect balance of sensual and sexy, yet warm and cosy – seamlessly transitioning you from day-to-night."

"I must admit, Jones Road’s Miracle Balm is one of the newer additions to my edit of all-time favourite products but it has a rightful spot there, let me tell you. Despite being initially sceptical of this formula, it’s quickly become a staple within my daily routine. Acting as a blush and highlighter hybrid, it melts into the skin for seamlessly natural, fresh-faced glow. Its subtle pigment can also be built up to achieve your desired level of flush. I even love to wear it on no-makeup days to give my complexion a healthy, pick-me-up effect. Just a word of wisdom, you have to break the seal (AKA the surface of the balm) with your finger in order to soften the formula and get any pigment from it."

"I've tried dozens of concealers over the years, from affordable to high-end, however this is the buy that I find myself reaching for every single day. This concealer boasts a long-lasting, buildable high coverage that effortless hides redness and dark circles. Plus, its hydrating formula, enriched with hyaluronic acid and jojoba seed oil, makes for seamless blending and a crease-proof finish that is free of cakiness. Not to mention, its extra-large doe-foot applicator allows for easy yet precise application. In even better news, a tube of this stellar concealer will cost you under £5 – what’s not to love about it?"

"As someone with sensitive skin, cleansers can be a real trigger, which makes finding the right one a challenge. However, I haven't looked back ever since Cetaphil's Gentle Skin Cleanser entered my life. This ultra-gentle formula lathers up nicely, working to delicately clean my skin – without stripping it of its moisture, causing irritation or blemish flare-ups. Not to mention, it's also fragrance-free which is an absolute must for sensitive skin types."
