I've worked as a Beauty Editor for six years and have relied on these "All-Time Great" products since the very beginning.

      To say I've tried numerous beauty products throughout my career would be an understatement. Having covered beauty for over six years now, my usage of skincare, makeup, and haircare products is likely in the hundreds by this point. It may sound crazy to expose my highly sensitive skin to all of that, but my passion for beauty drives me. There's no greater thrill than finding a new, game-changing beauty item—sometimes you have to kiss many frogs to find your prince. While not every product has been a hit, I have compiled a solid list of those that were and continue to be successful. Ranging from daily essentials I've used for over a decade to newer favorites, I've put together a roster of the all-time best beauty products I've encountered so far in my career. If you're also navigating sensitive skin (or even if you aren't!), you'll want to keep reading. Below, I'm sharing my top recommendations.

      **Bioderma**

      **Sensibio H2O Micellar Water**

      This iconic drugstore micellar water has been a staple for me for years. There were times when my skin was in poor condition, and this micellar water was the only product I could use without causing further irritation. To this day, I still rely on it as a makeup remover and sometimes as the first step in a double cleanse. It effectively removes makeup and impurities without clogging pores.

      **Neutrogena**

      **Gentle Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover**

      This eye makeup remover from Neutrogena has been my go-to for over a decade. I've tried other products, but I always return to this one. Although it’s oil-free, it boasts a silky texture that effortlessly removes mascara and eyeshadow. Plus, it does not irritate my sensitive eyes—another significant advantage.

      **Shani Darden Skin Care**

      **Cleansing Serum**

      My skin is both congested and dehydrated, which isn’t an ideal combination. Finding the right cleanser that cleanses effectively without stripping my skin was always a challenge. This gentle, hydration-boosting formula by celebrity aesthetician Shani Darden is my favorite in that regard. It’s incredibly smooth, never leaves me feeling tight or dry, soothes inflammation, and even imparts a radiant glow after use. I’m hooked and have been using it since I first discovered it as a fledgling beauty editor. Even if you don’t struggle with acne, it’s still an outstanding essential for all skin types, including dry skin.

      **Danessa Myricks**

      **Yummy Skin Serum Foundation**

      I have long admired the work of distinguished makeup artist Danessa Myricks and her eponymous line. I can be picky with foundations, but this particular formula checks all the boxes. I’ve been using it for years because it’s smooth, creamy, applies beautifully, doesn’t cause breakouts, and keeps skin hydrated for hours. One common issue I have with foundations is that they often make my skin feel dry after a while, highlighting texture and fine lines as they settle into creases. The serum-like texture of this foundation consistently impresses me. Even after hours of wear, it doesn’t settle into fine lines or crease—a true indication of the thought poured into this formula.

      **Patrick Ta**

      **Major Headlines Double-Take Crème & Powder Blush Duo**

      I fell in love with this blush upon its initial release and still find myself reaching for it regularly. No one was surprised that this Patrick Ta formula impressed me, and I enjoy employing his "cream over powder" technique with it. It allows your blush to blend seamlessly, giving a fresh, sun-kissed appearance instantly.

      **Anastasia Beverly Hills**

      **Brow Wiz Ultra-Slim Precision Detailing Eyebrow Pencil**

      I take brow pencils seriously. Without a good one, I find it challenging to manage my brows. This is a classic product, and I completely understand why people rave about it. It’s easy to use, especially for people like me who aren't eyebrow professionals. It’s also forgiving—if you make a mistake, it's simple to correct. It looks natural and stays put for extended wear.

      **Thrive Causemetics**

      **Liquid Lash Extensions Tubing Mascara**

      Thrive Causemetics’ mascara is my all-time favorite tubing formula. Mascara preferences are personal since everyone has different needs, but here’s why I’m obsessed with this one: it adds significant length and volume without clumping or smudging after just an hour or two. While some mascaras become messy upon application after being opened for a month, this one maintains a "stiffer" consistency that I appreciate. It holds your lashes in place without making them feel sticky or crunchy. The only downside is its difficulty in removal at night, but a few swipes with the Neutrogena Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover do the trick.

      For those with extremely sensitive skin and acne tendencies like me, you
