Makeup Artist Must-Haves: Inside Monika Blunder’s Kit

NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer

Why she loves it: “I love this concealer because it really covers and bounces light, which gives a nice brightening effect under the eye, while being lightweight and noncakey! I use a damp beauty blender mini to apply, then immediately set it with Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder to prevent any creasing.” $29, sephora.com

Sisley Paris-So Intense Mascara

Why she loves it: “The applicator is a comb, which really lets you get to the base of the lashes, and the color is super jet black. I love to get to the base of the lashes and really deposit product there to give me a more voluminous look.” $67, nordstrom.com

Charlotte Tilbury ‘Light Wonder’ Youth Boosting Perfect Skin Foundation

Why she loves it: “The application is a dream! This foundation blends beautifully and it also builds gracefully without becoming heavy. The foundation has a demi-matte, yet glowy finish! I love using it with my fingers, but it also works great with a brush to build coverage.” $45, charlottetilbury.com

Laura Mercier Paint Wash Liquid Lip Colour

Why she loves it: “It goes on like a lip gloss, but has the intensity of a lipstick. It’s also long-wearing and has a semi-matte finish. Because it’s matte, you want to make sure you hydrate your lips before you apply. For this, I really love Hourglass lip oil. I’ll usually apply this while I prep the skin, so when it comes time for lips, its fully absorbed.” $28, sephora.com

IT Cosmetics Heavenly Luxe Double Airbrush Foundation Brush

Why she loves it: “It has the perfect amount of density to give you airbrush results! I love using this brush for powder and setting powder, because it gives me the perfect veil of product over the face.” $48, ulta.com
