For beauty editors, trying out new products comes with the job description. We unscrew tube after tube of mascara and smear on bottle after bottle of foundation, constantly in search of the one. When we finally find that "life-changing" product, you can bet we recommend it to our friends, family, and just about anyone we're ever introduced to at a cocktail party.
