When experts recommend products they love, it's never long before they fly off the shelves. Who doesn’t want skin as bouncy as a dermatologist, hair as full as a session stylist and nails worthy of thousands of Instagram likes?

Many of these beauty buys tend to push our budgets to the limit, with expert-approved skincare staples, containing things like acids and retinol, sometimes costing hundreds, and makeup entering a whole new category of luxury. Pearl-infused highlighter, anyone?

That’s why, when an expert lifts the lid on a brilliant beauty product that won’t leave you unable to pay your rent this month, you listen – and stockpile it. Ahead, find 29 high-street products, from makeup and skincare to hair and body, that the very best in the beauty business actually buy for themselves.
