You Asked, We Delivered—This Is What's Inside Our Beauty Editors' Autumn Makeup Bags

If, like me, you're totally beauty-obsessed, you'll know the very specific thrill of a friend showing you what's in their makeup bag. From new beauty products to classic makeup brands, there's nothing quite like finding out what other people love and use themselves. After all, word of mouth is one of the best ways to find new makeup treasures, which often go on to become permanent fixtures on our own makeup bags. And, as a result, we beauty editors get asked about our makeup bags a lot.

Working on the Who What Wear UK beauty desk, I'm truly spoilt to be among fellow beauty editors who rigorously test makeup for a living. Between us, we have decades-worth of experience testing everything from the very best foundations and holy-grail mascaras to lip balms that we're never more than two feet away from. So, if something makes it permanently into our makeup bags, you can bet with certainty that you're going to love it too.

With autumn here and everyone sliding into our DMs to ask after our top recommendations, I asked my beauty colleagues if I could peek inside their (exceptionally chic) makeup bags and collate the insights all in one place. Scroll on for all our top recommendations.
