Scroll through your social media feeds and you\u2019re likely confronted with dozens of ads extolling the miraculous properties of some expensive product, be that eternal youth, the perfect night\u2019s sleep or \u2013 holiest of holies \u2013 foundation shade-matching (lies\u2026). With so much beauty noise out there, we asked those in the know to fill us in on the beauty investments that are worth every penny. From celebrity hairstylists and makeup artists to GRAZIA’s very own beauty team, these are the beauty products worth buying and splashing out on.<\/p>\n

Catwalk hairstylist and glam squad extraordinaire Dom Seeley<\/a> tends to the tresses of Selena Gomez, Bella Hadid, Kendall Jenner and Eva Longoria among his clients. Not forgetting our very own Huda Kattan, of course. He’s also the Creative Director of Color Wow.<\/p>\n

\u201cI couldn\u2019t be without my Dyson Tools<\/a>. They might be pricey, but the technology behind them is what sets them apart. They changed the game with their Supersonic hair dryer \u2013 since the day it launched, I haven\u2019t used another. The attachments are really well thought-out: they give anyone and everyone the power to create almost any look. It\u2019s quiet, it\u2019s lightweight and the intelligent heat control is faultless. It has never let me down. Don\u2019t be caught out by dupe culture and counterfeits. Often it\u2019s worth spending that little bit more to get the real deal. Lots of dupes don\u2019t work, and counterfeits are unregulated and can cause permanent damage to your hair and health.\u201d<\/p>\n

She was a pioneer of shade inclusivity way back in the late 90s, and has been a champion of individuality ever since. In 2007, she was awarded an MBE for her long-standing contribution to the cosmetics industry.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you are looking to invest in cosmetics start with a great foundation. One that seamlessly matches your skin tone, lasts all day and provides coverage that you know is there, but nobody else knows is cosmetic. I love Armani Luminous Silk Foundation for a lightweight, natural-looking glow that blurs imperfections without looking like you\u2019re wearing foundation. A must-have in both my personal and work kit.\u201d<\/p>\n

Makeup artist, author and bona fide beauty royalty Nicola Chapman is one of the industry\u2019s original influencers, who built an empire vlogging as one half of Pixiwoo, together with her sister Samantha.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a makeup artist, you would think my holy grail beauty investment would be a cosmetic. In fact, it’s red light therapy. Something you can do at home, RLT is a treatment that uses low-wavelength red light to improve your skin’s appearance, such as reducing wrinkles, scars, redness and acne. As well as helping make your skin appear better on the outside. It also helps on the inside. I have MS (Multiple Sclerosis) and I found that RLT really helps me. As an added bonus, I started to notice my brows growing thicker than they have ever been before.\u201d<\/p>\n

Known for his playful use of colour, celebrity MUA and TikTok wunderkind Allan Avenda\u00f1o<\/a> is on the speed dial of pretty much every major celeb,\u00a0 Gigi Hadid, Camila Cabello, Joey King and Zendaya included.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe beginning of great beauty routines starts with great skin prep. I think investing in a tool like Therabody\u2019s TheraFace Pro is worth every penny. It\u2019s an all-in-one toning device that helps to lift, tone, depuff and clean your face. This tool is invaluable and will really help your beauty products go on more effectively and give your makeup looks a great canvas to start with.\u201d<\/p>\n

FRANKIE JABARKHYL – luxury perfume<\/h3>\n

GRAZIA Middle East’s Beauty Editor<\/a> and self-confessed fragrance addict, Frankie Jabarkhyl<\/a>, has worked for leading luxury titles in both the Middle East and the UK for over a decade.<\/p>\n

“The power of perfume is undeniable – it can make you feel sexier, stronger, or just put a smile on your face in seconds. However, not all perfumes are created equally, and I strongly believe in splashing out on a top-quality scent rather than scrimping on a cheap knockoff. Not only do you get more bang for your buck (premium perfumes last much longer and require just a spritz or two), but – simply put – you can smell if something has been made with cheap ingredients. My most precious perfumes have adorned my vanity for years, and they’re still going strong. Not to mention the fact that just spritzing on a luxury fragrance is a sensory experience in itself.\u00a0 Choosing just one brand or perfume is like asking me to choose my favourite child – literally impossible. I am also a Libra, FYI. Which means choosing anything is painful. But one scent I always go back to is Tom Ford’s Noir de Noir. It’s indulgent, dark, rich and oh-so-addictive, and literally one spray lasts all night long.”<\/p>\n

World-renowned facialist Teresa Tarmey has cleansed, peeled and microneedled some of the most recognisable faces in showbiz. With more than two decades of experience, her no-nonsense approach has amassed a cult-like following.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy holy grail is a high-quality SPF 50+, hands down. It\u2019s a must for me. I encounter so many people who think that wearing an SPF all year round isn\u2019t necessary. But it\u2019s not just sunshine that harms the skin, UVA and UVB can cause damage all year round \u2013 even indoors, on a cloudy day and in winter. SPF prevents sunspots, age spots, liver spots and hyperpigmentation, and it reduces skin ageing. We spend so much money on makeup, skincare and treatment. Why not use that one product that protects our skin better than the rest of them put together?\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
\u201cMy holy grail beauty investment is the\u00a0Augustinus Bader The Rich Cream<\/a>! I first got hooked during a masterclass with the Kardashian\u2019s makeup artist Mario Dedivanovic. It’s like a facial-in-a-bottle! Immediately your skin looks so hydrated, plump and super glowy \u2013 but it also has all age prevention benefits. Most importantly it makes your makeup go on like butter. This is certainly my holy grail. A pricey one, but totally worth it!\u201d<\/div>\n

Skincare aficionado Annie Vischer is the Beauty Director of Grazia UK and host of the brilliant Words on a Wedding podcast which covers all things bridal glamour.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy skin loves hyaluronic acid (a moisture magnet ingredient that keeps it looking plump all day long) and last year Shiseido launched a skincare duo<\/a> that elevated my bathroom cabinet line-up no end. Most hyaluronic acid serums work by holding water fast to the surface of your skin, but these go deeper. The Night Serum delivers compressed hyaluronic acid particles to the lower layers of the epidermis and the day serum expands them to deliver bouncy, juicy skin from within \u2013 think of it as Zip File-style tech adapted for skincare. Shiseido\u2019s hyaluronic acid legacy dates back to the 80s, so it makes sense that they\u2019re still well ahead of the game today.\u201d<\/p>\n

Inge Theron<\/a> is a former beauty and wellness and columnist, self-confessed spa junkie and the founder of everybody\u2019s favourite facial PT FaceGym<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am a huge believer in hacking your collagen through face massage and bio-engineered topicals. Collagen is the cornerstone of firm youthful and plump-looking skin. My daily routine sees me boost it in the morning with the FaceGym Hydrating Active Roller. It stimulates collagen through rolling but also embeds the phyto retinol into my skin and makes my follow-on serum penetrate much better. After\u00a05 min rolling I use my FaceGym Active Blast,\u00a0specially-dosed balls of engineered collagen. This has literally changed my skin. My skin is so firm and clear since using this product and that\u2019s because it’s clinically proven to be 200% stronger than any marine-derived product out there.\u201d<\/p>\n
