There are definitely easier things in the world to justify than dropping a couple thousand dollars on something just because it has a logo on it. If you ask us, luxury beauty products are definitely an easier way to scratch your designer itch. Sure they're maybe not entirely necessary either (although we'd like to argue this Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer is an essential) but they won't get you in credit card debt. But just like with designer pieces, it can be hard to tell what's really worth your money.
That's what we're here for. Any beauty lover knows that the appeal of luxury beauty is so much more than just fancy brand names. There’s something to be said about the quality of the stuff: The creamy textures that never crease, the rich pigments, and the glossy, display-worthy packaging are all part of the irresistible experience of owning prestige cosmetics. We've tried just about everything and consulted the most knowledgeable beauty professionals out there to round up the best 16 luxury makeup products that you actually need. If you're tempted to add everything to cart immediately, well, we don’t blame you.
