12 Beauty Products ELLE Editors Can't Live Without

"When people ask me if I would rather be 60-feet tall or six-inches tall, I always choose six-inches tall, since I could live in a small house made entirely of cashmere, a single peanut M&M would be dessert for a whole week, and I could use the miraculous, never-lets-me-down La Mer from head-to-toe all day, every day. It might not work for every skin type, but the original cream–so incredibly moisturizing and soothing–is my go-to for whenever my sensitive and sensitized skin needs any TLC. So I can completely see why John Waters created a giant jar of La Mer for his first solo art exhibition: Bigger is better whenever it comes to cashmere, candy, and La Mer." –Emily Dougherty, Beauty & Fitness Director

La Mer Crème de la Mer, $310; cremedelamer.com

"My face tends to go from dry to painfully tight and super itchy during the winter. I go through LOTS of moisturizer, which can get really expensive if you stick to fancy ones. Luckily I've found that this French pharmacy staple does the trick, I love the smell, and I love the metal tube. Also, it's super affordable." –Leah Chernikoff, ELLE.com Editorial Director

Embryolisse Concentrated Lait Cream, $28; embryolisseusa.com

"I've got M.A.C Spice and Kylie Candy K on deck, but nothing fakes the look of fuller lips like Karrueche's newish ColourPop liner. For supersized lips without injections, prep with Coconut Balm Dotcom then trace your mouth with this latte-colored magic pencil and smudge it all together. Boom, no needles needed." –Julie Schott, ELLE.com Senior Beauty Editor

KaePop Chi Pencil, $5; colourpop.com

"Thanks to my late-night Netflix-binging watching habits and, you know, genetics, I'm #blessed with super dark circles under my eyes 24/7. My saving grace? Nars' concealer, which is thick enough to mask that deep cerulean hue, but so smooth it blends into my skin without leaving any cakey residue." –Sally Holmes, ELLE.com Senior News Editor

Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer, $29; narscosmetics.com

"I must've gone through 25 different brow pencils and powders before finally finding The One. After watching countless beauty vlogger videos about sculpting perfect arches, I finally joined the cult of brow authority Anastasia Beverly Hills. With a few swipes, I have the shaped, filled-in, but natural-looking brows I always desired. I feel absolutely naked without it." –Kristina Rodulfo, ELLE.com Associate Editor

Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Powder Duo, $23; sephora.com

"There's a careful alchemy to finding a neutral polish you love for your skin tone in particular, one that's neither too putty nor too pinky. This one took me months to find, and now that I've got it, I never want to do the trial-and-error of slightly unsatisfactory manicures again." –Natalie Matthews, ELLE.com Senior Editor

Essie Topless & Barefoot, $8.50; essie.com

"No other mascara has ever made my lashes look as lush, long, and inky black as this magic stuff. I should seriously buy ten wands right now." –Justine Harman, ELLE.com Senior Entertainment Editor

Dior Diorshow, $27.50; dior.com

"A glittery eye shadow, bedazzled nails, or a shimmering liner—nothing brightens my day quite like sparkle. And that goes for my beauty tonics as well, including the fizzy, sparkling probiotic elixir Kevita, which is my new favorite drink. The active cultures are purported to not only have anti-aging skin benefits, but also help with rosacea and acne, ensuring I'm always one sip away from my perfect skin." –Ali Finney, Assistant Beauty & Fitness Editor

"My entire life I've had tiny little bumps on my skin due to a case of keratosis pilaris, affectionately known as chicken skin. I've slathered on every "ultra-moisturizing" lotion under the sun, but nothing works like this tub of ol' faithful. It's thick, non-greasy, and contains lactic acid which helps slough off my prickly skin." –Justine Carreon, ELLE.com Associate Market Editor

CeraVe Renewing System SA Renewing Cream, $15; amazon.com

"In a fitful stab at adulthood, I went out and spent way too much money on a lot of products I didn't need a few years ago. Most of them were SMH-level mistakes, but this little wonder from Cane + Austin has been my secret weapon ever since. It keeps skin clear and glowy. It adds only the fewest seconds to my nighttime routine. I love it so much I once was late to an appointment because I had to convince a perfect stranger to buy it. She did. I like to think I changed her life."–Mattie Kahn, ELLE.com News Writer

Cane + Austin Retexturizing Treatment Pads, $60; spacenk.com

"Switching from a sort-of-ok skincare routine to a grown up, I actually am doing something for a reason skincare routine was a big step. A big, expensive step. If I have to choose one product worth investing in, it would be P50. It is a toner/exfoliator/cleanser, makes me feel instantly more beautiful, brightens up my skin, and just about every chic celebrity and makeup artist uses it. It smells like a hospital, but hey, it WORKS." –Ruthie Friedlander, ELLE.com Deputy Editor

Biologique Recherche Lotion P50; for more information visit biologique-recherche.com

"If you don't have fresh, dewy, summertime skin, but you want it year-round, a few spritzes of Dermalogica Antioxidant Hydramist will get you there. I'm so serious. It's this beautifully enlivening blend of peptides and magic radiance-bestowing ingredients that instantly refreshes. The trick is to spray it on willy-nilly throughout the day. You can not O.D., your skin just gets incrementally more lustrous. I've been obsessed with it for years, and I hope people aren't sick of me going on and on about it." –Megan O'Neil, Beauty and Fitness Editor
