The Best Beauty Products of 2021, According to Glamour Editors

In a year of uncertainty (I can’t believe we’re still saying that), the best beauty products of 2021 have been a small comfort. Sure, they didn’t cure Covid or predict when life would return to normal, but they did keep our skin looking glowy, our brows fluffy, and our lips glossy, so we’ll take what we can get. The one bright spot of this year was an onslaught of killer beauty launches, so narrowing down the best of the best isn’t easy. 

However, we had Glamour editors nominate the one (or in some cases, two) new or new-to-them products they turned to again and again. The ones that were there for them through it all, and that no look felt complete without. From the lipstick equivalent of a pair of cashmere sweats to grease-free sunscreen and a blow dry brush that delivers salon-level volume at home, here are the best beauty products we can’t live without.
