When I look at teenagers today, I can’t help but feel like they’re missing out. Sure, most of them can do their hair better than I can, and with literally millions of makeup tutorials at their fingertips, they can absolutely apply, blend, and buff more innately than I ever could at their age.
Still, I can’t help but feel like they’re being deprived of “fun” beauty. Where’s the roll-on body glitter or Lancôme’s Juicy Tubes (which were so sticky there was a genuine fear of debris getting stuck in your excessively slicked pout every time you stepped out the door)? And don’t even get me started on the anticipation of arriving at Superdrug in the hope that Barry M’s Dazzle Dusts had been restocked.
Nostalgia is a great thing. And while there are some beauty products that should ultimately remain in our pasts, there are some which stuck with us throughout our teens and into adulthood, products that have stood the test of time and that outperform even the flashiest of new launches. Here, our editors reveal the teenage beauty products they still love and use today and would recommend to you in a heartbeat.
