With all the perfume spritzing and skincare peddling, the beauty counter can be a pretty intimidating place -- especially at Barneys New York. The luxury department store is like a playground for the rich and famous where they can swipe their credit cards for the most expensive moisturizer without adding another worry line.
In an effort to lessen the intimidation factor, HuffPost Style interviewed Barneys beauty guru Jason Ascher to come up with the perfect shopping list. Below are 10 products we recommend you check out the next time you pop into Barneys.
Koh Gen Do Cleansing Water Cloth, $39. Prep your face by wiping away any dirt and debris with these ultra-cooling and hydrating cleansing cloths. Free of irritating oils and fragrances, it's packed with mineral-rich water from Japan. Barneys.com
