8 Beauty Editors Share the Products They'd Buy Again ASAP If They Lost Their Makeup Bag

As beauty editors, we're lucky enough to get to try the best new beauty products and innovations. With beauty cupboards at our disposal and launches landing on our desks each week, it's safe to say we're not short of makeup. Glance at our dressing tables and rifle through our draws and chances are that we'll have every shade of cream blusher you could imagine, every nude lipstick undertone possible (you know you can never have too many)—and don't get us started on our skin tint collection. Our makeup bags are practically overflowing, and if you ever need a recommendation, you can count on us—we've tried it all.

If the worst were to happen and we lost our makeup bags (full of the cosmetics we religiously reach for daily), I was curious to know what products fellow beauty editors would run to re-order first. Sure, there would be plenty of alternatives at our disposal due to our jobs, but there are some products we just can't get by without, whether it be our holy grail tinted SPF or our favourite mascara. So, I posed the question. Ahead, eight beauty journalists share the two can't-live-without makeup products that they'd immediately replace without hesitation.

Scroll ahead to find out what they said, and get ready for their recommendations to become your new go-tos.
