Humans are creature of habits, especially when it comes to makeup. When we find something that works superbly on us, that product inevitably becomes a holy grail beauty item that we need to constantly have in stock on our vanity. However, finding that holy grail which works just right on you can be a life long pilgrimage.

We’ve tried to narrow down your search by stalking out the #hitpan hashtag on Instagram to find out what products are so well-loved by fellow beauty junkies out there that they’ve actually hit pan on the product – that means they’ve used it so much that the metal pan underneath the product is visible. If you’re a beauty lover worth your salt, you know that this is an occurrence that doesn’t happen easily for most makeup items.

Here are 10 beauty products which beauty junkies most commonly #hitpan, so you need to go out and try right now!
