19 Makeup Essentials That Have Changed Our Lives
High on the list of the greatest pains one can experience is walking into your favorite beauty retailer and discovering that the best makeup products have fallen victim to TikTok virality and are sold out indefinitely or, even worse—discontinued altogether. Sounds dramatic, but we all remember the first lip gloss we swiped across our lips, the mascara we begged a loved one to buy, or the first time we experienced the beauty that is liquid blush.
In this house, we've swiped, swatched, and lathered just about every luminous foundation or BB cream and know a thing or two about finding the best dupes for your money. Through it all, we discovered we all have beauty bag staples we can easily wax poetic about—and that's exactly what we did. The ELLE team has always been vocal about their favorite makeup products of all time, so we perused our own stash to compile a list of our absolute favorites. Ahead, shop the 19 best makeup products ELLE editors won't shut up about.

BEST UNDER-EYE SETTING POWDER
“I challenge you to find a One/Size product you don't like. I'll wait. Trust me, there's a One/Size product out there for everyone, and the pink setting powder is my obsession (and TikTok's). I love a bright under-eye, so I love reaching for this powder to dust over a brightening concealer to seal the deal. The pink tint accentuates my concealer and leaves an airbrushed, soft filter-like finish.”—Nerisha Penrose, ELLE.com beauty commerce editor
“Before Accutane, I never had good skin. But this Clinique compact was—and still is—the only product that effectively covers blemishes and breakouts for a natural-looking, matte finish. I almost always have it with me for touch-ups.”—Claire Stern, ELLE.com digital director
