There's no denying it: We love getting a cheeky insight into other people's beauty bags, and we have an inkling that you do too. After all, every day on Instagram, hundreds of "What's in my makeup bag?" videos get posted and garner thousands of views. We can't put our finger on what it is that makes them so compelling, but all we know is that we can't get enough of it.
So when we got the opportunity to see which products are selling best on our site so far in 2020—aka what is in our readers' communal beauty bag—we couldn't resist doing a bit of digging. Unsurprisingly, there were plenty of winning staples. Think hardworking creams, makeup removers, tools and the odd concealer. All in all, everything you need to create the perfect WFH skin base.
