14 beauty editors confirm it—these luxury beauty products are worth their weight in gold

Luxury beauty products.

Beauty editors try hundreds of beauty products each year. It comes with the territory, of course, but with so many new launches at our fingertips it does mean that for us to recommend a product it has to be seriously impressive. And if it’s a luxury beauty product with a price tag to match? It’s going to have to work even harder to excite. Because while there used to be an intrinsic tie between efficacy and the price that you paid for a product, the high-street is now awash with brilliantly affordable beauty brands formulating innovative products to rival the luxury market.

So, are there any luxury beauty products that can still justify their price tag? Absolutely. In fact, according to these discerning beauty editors, there are certain luxury beauty products that are so good that they happily spend their own hard-earned cash on them. (The ultimate seal of approval from a beauty editor.) Yes, they’re undeniably pricey, but if you’re looking to upgrade your beauty routine with something extra-special then it might be worth a peruse.
