1 Makeup Artist, 10 Obsessions

As a makeup artist, I get to test and try so many products, but some truly stand out and become my daily go-tos. These are the ones I find myself reaching for over and over again – the formulas I trust both on myself and on my clients.

Here are 10 of my current obsessions. Do we share any of the same? Let me know what yours are!

1. Makeup By Mario Cream Eyeshadows
These shadows are creamy, pigmented, and effortless to blend. They’re perfect for quick everyday looks or building into something more dramatic.

2. Shiseido Lash Curler
The ultimate tool for lifted, wide-open lashes. This curler is a staple in my kit and gives the perfect bend without pinching.

3. DIBS Mascara
Length, volume, and no smudging – this mascara really does it all. It’s one of my new everyday favorites.

4. Rare Beauty Brow Gel
Brows frame the face, and this gel keeps everything in place while still looking soft and natural.

5. Tatcha Lip Mask
Hydration meets luxury. This lip mask keeps lips smooth, supple, and perfectly prepped for lipstick.

6. Armani Luminous Silk Foundation
A timeless classic. The formula is lightweight yet buildable and leaves skin looking radiant and flawless without feeling heavy.

7. Charlotte Tilbury Powders
From setting powder to pressed compacts, Charlotte Tilbury has mastered the art of smoothing, blurring, and keeping shine at bay.

8. Hourglass Blushes
These blushes add the perfect flush of color with a luminous finish. They blend like a dream and look gorgeous on all skin types.

9. YSL Beauty Lipsticks
Iconic shades, luxurious packaging, and creamy formulas – these lipsticks are a forever favorite in my bag.

10. Fenty Beauty Lip Glosses
The gloss that changed the game. Fenty’s formula is non-sticky, hydrating, and gives the perfect high-shine finish.

These 10 products are on repeat in my routine and kit for a reason: they deliver every single time.
