You know those beauty products that were passed down generations, the ones that you know work because they’ve stood the test of time? Well, it’s a shame we don’t tend to use those anymore. If you ask your grandmother or elderly relative what beauty products she swears by, we’re sure they’d be a lot different from the ones you use. But it’s always nice to share products with the people you love.
The beauty industry has changed a lot, but these twenty products seriously pack a punch, you might even want to share these with your grandmother!
1
La Mer Creme De La Mer
This cream hits the top of every list. It’s a legendary cream that every woman needs to try at least once! It’s a real investment that penetrates your skin and replenishes lost moisture. Buy it here.
2
Nars Blush in Orgasm
This cheekily named blush is a best-seller for a reason. The perfect color for any skin tone, it’s pink without being too overwhelming and highly pigmented, so contains just enough shimmer to really lift your complexion. Buy it here.
3
YSL Touche Éclat
The world’s most powerful concealer. This was a sell-out when it was first launched, I love it because it’s easy to blend, light enough to cover the darkest of circles and subtly highlighting. Buy it here.
4
Givenchy Prisme Libre
Luxury comes in this little pot. You need to try this! These beautiful loose powders come in four complementing colors that when mixed together increase the glow on your skin while buffing over imperfections and improving radiance and overall complexion. Buy it here.

MAC Red Lipstick
The perfect red might just come from MAC. If you’re still looking, try this perfectly pigmented rouge color from MAC. There’s a reason it’s so highly rated, (over 1,000 reviews!) it’s because MAC really knows how to create the perfect lipstick! Buy it here.
