Nick Barose, Gugu Mbatha-Raw's and Lupita N'yongo's go-to makeup artist, heads to eBay to find this affordable face powder from his home country of Thailand. "It's a classic product used for generations, now with [gorgeous] updated packaging," he says. "It's great to use to control oil and shine, very light and refreshing."

Barose and Desirae Cherman, who has worked with Kristin Bell and Elle Fanning, both recommend these cotton swabs pre-soaked in olive oil. Barose insists that they're "perfect for fast cleaning-up when you made mistakes with eyeliner and lip colors. It gets rid of [product] in an instant and doesn't leave oily residue."

Cherman says, "I use them to clean up any stubborn mascara around the eyes. [I] also love them for making sure my cat-eye liner is sharp and on-point!"

"Invest in good brushes and you will be set for life," says Tracy Murphy, who does makeup for celebs including Kate Upton and Ashley Graham. That's why she loves these makeup brushes, which are produced by Japanese craftsmen using time-honored techniques. "These are the world's best, handcrafted brushes," she raves.

Kirin Bhatty -- who makes Freida Pinto and Rosario Dawson beautiful -- relies on this mascara made by her fellow makeup artist Murphy. "It's an amazing, double-ended mascara that really is a miracle worker for lashes that need volume and thickness," she enthuses. "It's a magical, new kit staple for me."

"There's only so much makeup can do," Barose says, which is why he thinks this face-toning microcurrent device is "perfect to use before makeup" when skin lacks luminosity. "When I have extra time, I always try to use this before red carpet events," he says. "It feels good to wake up your face muscles, and you get that glow from within, which you can fake a little bit with makeup on top."
