The Products I Trust for a Flawless Finish
I don't believe in using products just because they're trendy. Here are the professional-grade foundations, skincare, and tools I use to create long-lasting looks.
A look at my ultimate holy grail makeup collection. This video lists some of my favorite foundations, concealers, blushes, and powders from top professional brands.
My current favorite skincare routine starts with Dior. The Capture Totale eye cream and Hydra Life moisturizer are beautiful products to prep the skin under makeup.
A glowing base starts with good skin. Here are my top three recommended facial scrubs to exfoliate dead skin and create a bright canvas for makeup.
My top four blush recommendations for any makeup artist's kit are from Huda Beauty, Charlotte Tilbury, Patrick Ta, and Natasha Denona for their beautiful formulas.
A refreshing face mist is the perfect final step. I love using a rose water nectar to set the makeup and give the skin an amazing, fragrant boost.
Finding a sunscreen that works perfectly under makeup is a game-changer. The Estée Lauder Perfectionist Pro is my go-to for daytime bridal makeup to prevent tanning without affecting the look.
Never skip serum. It gives an extra boost of hydration that is crucial when you have many layers of makeup on. Here are some of my top recommendations.
About My Go-To Products
When I talk about my go-to products, I am not talking about what looks good on a shelf. I am talking about performance under pressure. For example, my obsession with the Estée Lauder Perfectionist Pro sunscreen isn't just because it is a luxury brand, it is because it is the only one that doesn't pill or tear under heavy, long-wear foundation. If your skin isn't prepped with the right hydration, your makeup will move. I use these exact formulas on every single client to ensure your look stays as fresh at 1 AM as it did when we finished.
Why Product Choice Matters
I get asked all the time about what I use in my kit. The truth? I don't chase trends. I chase longevity and finish. Whether it is a bridal function or a high-glam reception, the products I use—like Huda Beauty, Fenty, and NARS—are there because they can withstand heat, humidity, and hours of dancing without looking cakey or feeling heavy.
My Skin Prep Philosophy
Makeup without skin prep is just painting over cracks. I start every single session with products like the Dior Capture Totale eye cream and Hydra Life moisturizer. These are not just skincare; they are the foundation. A bright, hydrated canvas is the difference between a mask-like finish and skin that glows from within.
A Pro Kit for Every Look
- For the Base: I rely on heavy-hitters like Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk and Fenty Beauty. They offer buildable coverage that hides pigmentation and acne without suffocating the skin.
- For the Color: My blush technique—layering cream and powder with brands like Patrick Ta and Charlotte Tilbury—is what gives that natural flush rather than a harsh stripe of color.
- For the Finish: A good setting spray is non-negotiable. I use Urban Decay or One Size to lock everything in so you can dance, cry, and laugh without worrying about your makeup.
Hygiene & Professionalism
My kit is not just high-end; it is clean. I use strict disposable wand and spatula protocols because your skin health is my priority. When you book a session, you are not just paying for the makeup application; you are paying for the assurance that every single product touching your face has been chosen for its quality, safety, and performance.
