Asking a beauty obsessive to name her best 50 products is both an honour and a curse. On the one hand, the urge to spread the love of brilliant and reliable products is strong. On the other, you're propelled into anxiety over having to leave something out. Everything listed is, in my view, hard to beat in its category – you'll always find a selection of them in my handbag and bathroom cabinet. I use those appropriate to my skin type religiously; the rest I use on friends, relatives and readers, and consistently find them to be fail-safe. Of course, any list of this nature is subjective (hence the exclusion of perfume, which is so personal that it's impossible to define 'best' in any reasonable way), so the most I can do is tell you what I love after 21 years in the industry. As ever, my opinion is my own and without external influence or consideration for advertisers. The products are in no order and categorised by price only. Apologies if your favourites aren't included. I only wish I could have chosen 100
