Double-Duty Makeup
These products make you look red-carpet gorgeous while boosting the health of your skin.
You’re the queen of multitasking. In fact, you’re probably reading this while gulping down a cup of coffee, buttoning your kid’s shirt and waiting for your toenail polish to dry. Shouldn’t your makeup work overtime too? Below, celebrity makeup artists reveal their favorite products that help enhance what you’ve got — and fix your flaws at the same time. Take a peek into their beauty bag.
For Gorgeous, Glowing Skin
Bobbi Brown Luminous Moisturizing Foundation
“One swipe softens fine lines and imperfections,” says Valerie Hunt, a Los Angeles–based celebrity and television makeup artist. “Plus it’s packed with hexapeptides and milk thistle, which have a natural collagen–boosting and skin–firming effect.”
Perfect Pigment
“It’s a palette of four mineral makeup shades that mimic the range of pigments found in healthy, youthful skin tones, giving you the most natural, ‘no–makeup’ look possible,” Hunt says. “And because it’s made with minerals, it’s safe for all skin types — even sensitive and acne–prone.”
Dr. Hauschka Translucent Facial Powder
“This colorless powder is great for finishing off your look,” says Christy Coleman, a celebrity eco–makeup artist and green beauty expert based in Venice, Calif. “The ingredients include silk powder, which sops up shine (and is antimicrobial to boot!), and rose petal, which soothes your skin.”
For a Touch of Color
RMS Beauty Lip to Cheek
“I love the way this color can be used on both lips and cheeks,” Coleman says. It contains vitamin E rich argan oil, an ingredient that might help clear up acne and psoriasis. “Apply and blend the product on the lips or cheeks by dabbing lightly with two fingers,” says Coleman.
For Lush Lips
Jane Iredale PureGloss Lip Gloss
“This hydrating lip gloss is one of my favorites,” Coleman says. “It’s packed with green tea, ginger root, jojoba and grape seed oils — meaning you get lots of beneficial oils and antioxidants.” And the look can’t be beat: “All of the colors are gorgeous and fun and have fantastic staying power.” What’s more, she adds, the lip gloss freshens your breath too.
Dr. Rey’s Instant Lip Plumper
“This is plumping lip gloss that actually works!” says Hunt. “The secret ingredients are hush–hush, but I do know that the gloss uses a mix of natural antiaging ingredients from the Brazilian rain forest to hydrate and fill in fine lines on your lips.”
For Dramatic Eyes
Physicians Formula Organic Wear Mascara
“This is the first organic mascara to hit the market,” says Joanna Schlip, an L.A.–based celebrity and fashion makeup artist. “It’s much gentler on eyes — contact lens wearers or people with sensitive eyes can use this. It doesn’t contain the usual harsh chemicals, preservatives and parabens. And jojoba helps keep lashes soft and moisturized.”
