The 26 Products Celebrity Makeup Artists Actually Purchase and Use Themselves

Marc Jacobs Beauty Velvet Noir Major Volume Mascara ($26)

“I have basically no lashes, and this mascara is a miracle for me. It always makes me feel better about myself and is a quick fix for when I’m super tired to wake up my eyes.” –Sarah Tanno, celebrity makeup artist 

ByTerry Terrybly Densiliss Wrinkle Control Serum Foundation ($116)

“This luxurious foundation has such beautiful coverage, wrinkle control and sets with a luminous, firm finish. I apply it with a kabuki brush in a circular motion to create a second skin.” –Denika Bedrosian, celebrity makeup artist 

Kosås Weightless Lip Color ($24)

“I’ve been really into this line of California-made lipsticks since I first learned about them. Their colors are buildable, their formula is smooth and hydrating and their taste/scent is delightfully slight.” –Katey Denno, celebrity makeup artist

Surratt Beauty Relevée Lash Curler ($30)

 “I’ve tried every lash curler on the market and this one gives the best curl and never will damage the lash.” –Pati Dubroff, celebrity makeup artist 

Clarins Double Serum Complete Age control Concentrate ($89)

“On cold days or when I feel my skin needs an extra moisture boost, I reach for Clarins Double Serum. I swear, this nongreasy serum loaded with 20 plant extracts always wakes up my skin and makes it look years younger. If I could, I would bath in this stuff, and the double chamber delivery system is pretty cool, too.” –David Maderich, celebrity makeup artist 

Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz in Soft Brown ($21)

“Brows frame your face, and to me, they’re one of the things I will never leave the house without doing. It has a great consistency, staying power and very natural.”  –Sarah Tanno

Chanel Soleil Tan De Chanel Bronzing Makeup Base ($50)

“I absolutely love this product to add a bronzing glow or a natural cream contour. I apply it with an angled fluffy brush and buff it under my cheekbones, under my jawline and around my hairline.” –Denika Bedrosian

Biossance The Illuminator Weightless Eye Gel ($54)

“I’ve tried too many eye creams to count over the years, and it wasn’t until I found this one that I stopped trying others. It’s weightless, absorbs quickly and thoroughly so that my concealer can go on smoothly, and I love that it has actually brightened my under-eye area.” –Katey Denno

Laura Mercier Candleglow Concealer and Highlighter ($32)

“I don’t wear a lot of makeup day to day, but this handy little stick brightens my face without looking or feeling like makeup-y.” –Pati Dubroff

MAC Lightful C Marine-Bright Formula Cleanser ($28)

“I just don’t feel clean unless I use a cleanser that foams up and envelopes my skin in frothy bubbles.  Unfortunately, most foaming cleansers leave your skin dry and tight, but not this one from MAC. Its foamy, cream-like lather whisks away your day without ever drying out your skin and it works great with my Clarisonic.” –David Maderich

Marc Jacobs Beauty New Nudes Sheer Gel Lipstick in Understudy ($30)

“I have one in every bag. For myself and my clients. It’s the perfect color to pump up my face so I look refreshed. The color is a pumped up version of my natural lip color. It’s also filled with vitamin E, so it’s very moisturizing and has anti-aging effects to fill in any lines. The longevity is amazing, so I find I rarely have to touch them up throughout the day.”  –Sarah Tanno

Charlotte Tilbury The Feline Flick Liquid Eyeliner Pen in Panther ($30)

“I am a girl who loves a bold, winged liner, so after trying every liner on the planet, I love using the Feline Flick. It is easy to use, sets black and glossy, doesn’t smudge or flake and is paraben-free.” –Denika Bedrosian

Jenette All Natural Skin Care Brightening Toner ($35) and Detoxifying Elixir ($40)

“My extremely sensitive skin has a tendency to break out, develop rashes or get little under-the-skin bumps when I use anything hydrating on my face EXCEPT for this line from Jenette. It’s very simple, with just the right simplified ingredients that don’t confuse and congest my skin.” –Katey Denno

Benefit They’re Real! Lengthening Mascara ($24)

“For a mascara to make the cut for me, it can’t flake, can’t smudge and must make a ‘wow lash’ fast. This one fits the bill!” –Pati Dubroff

Make Up For Ever HD High Definition Powder ($35)

“I have oily skin—not glowy, but oily—and I hate looking shiny. To the rescue is this microfinish powder from Make Up For Ever. I keep a compact in my bag at all times and give myself a “pat” whenever my t-zone is looking like a reflecting pool. What’s more, it’s completely invisible, so it’s great for men.” –David Maderich

NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in Custard ($29)

“This concealer is moisturizing and has great coverage. I usually apply in an Uber on the way to a job and it covers my dark circles and imperfections without ever creasing.”  –Sarah Tanno

MAC Ruby Woo Retro Matte Lipstick ($17)

“I have been wearing this lipstick since I was 18 years old. It has bold pigment with blue undertones, incredible long wear and the most perfect red pout on any skin tone.” –Denika Bedrosian

R.L. Linden & Co. La Balma Rosa Healing Rose Balm ($5)

“With so many lip balms on the market, it’s hard to know which one to buy. This one, made from only nontoxic ingredients (which is super important because it’s a lip product that you reapply countless times per day and surprisingly hard to find among mainstream brands), is my go-to. I love how it feels, smells and tastes. Plus, I love and respect the women who created it!” –Katey Denno

Lilah B. Lip & Cheek Divine Duo in b.memorable ($46)

“The pebble shape of this lip and cheek tint makes me so happy, and the sheer pretty tint is my go-to for adding a bit of color to my face.” –Pati Dubroff

Dermalogica Oil Free Matte SPF 30 Sunscreen ($50)

“I am all about sun protection, but my skin is oily, and I’ve searched for years for the best sunscreen that doesn’t make me shine like an oil slick. I am in love with this sunscreen because it not only protects my skin from the sun, but it also dries matte and keeps me shine-free for hours, as well as never breaks me out. Bravo.” –David Maderich
