A seasoned beauty editor values the effectiveness of affordable drugstore products over luxury items, particularly as her perspective on skincare has evolved with age. The editor emphasizes the importance of hydration and multi-purpose products, asserting that high-quality beauty doesn’t need to be exorbitantly priced. The article serves as a endorsement of drugstore items that meet and exceed the performance of pricier counterparts, showcasing favorites like long-wearing lipsticks and ultra-hydrating masks that are budget-friendly yet high-performing.
A number of perks come with being a longtime beauty editor, namely the privilege of trying just about everything—from ridiculously expensive moisturizers to far-out skincare treatments.
Even though I will always love my higher-end holy grail skincare, I truly believe that good beauty products don't have to cost half the cost of LA rent.
Now that I'm in my 40s, my outlook has shifted when it comes to beauty: Hydration is a serious non-negotiable, a dewy base is better than matte foundations.
I'm also all about those affordable, effective gems that perform just as well (if not better) than their expensive counterparts. It's all about balance, baby!
