As a beauty writer for the past 10 years, it’s been my job to test and review hundreds — if not thousands — of beauty products all across the price spectrum. From drugstore shampoos to ultra-luxury serums and creams, I’ve tried it all.

Here, I share the best of the best I’ve found over the years, including makeup, hair tools, and skincare. Even with all the daily product launches, these are the tried-and-true products I always return to and continually recommend to family, friends, and readers.
