As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.
It's safe to say 2018 has been an interesting one for the world, and when things are in turmoil, there's a reason sales of designer lipstick go up. We won't dwell on the details, but when times are tough, we lean on more-expensive-than-average body wash, our favourite perfume that we swear boosts confidence, or fake tan products that give us the boost we need to face the day with a smile. No, this doesn't make us vain; it means we're making the best of what we've got, using the little things to keep us going. And if that comes in the form of a beautiful Charlotte Tilbury eye-shadow palette, then so be it!
Our editors had the pleasure of trying hundreds of beauty products this year, and we've edited it down to our absolute favourites.
