[Haloinrverse]

from vogue online, here are makeup artist's top 10 beauty essentials.

Kérastase Mousse Nutri-Sculpt and Kérastase Sérum Nutri-Sculpt:

Luigi Murenu's recipe for sumptuous looking hair.



Mason Pearson Brush in Baby Blue:

Quirkier than its tortoise-shell predecessor.



Bumble and Bumble Hair Powder:

Stylist Jimmy Paul's saving grace backstage.



Ziploc Bags:

Sheer utility.



L'Oreal Glam Shine in Prima Donna:

This is one of James Kaliardos's favorite glosses. "Richard Avedon taught me about the importance of using pinky-nude lip color, as opposed to a flat-looking nude—those can look android-ish."



Bungee Hair Elastics:

Stylist Ted Gibson never leaves for a show without packing these hair-friendly bands that restrain without damage.



Mini-Massage:

"It not only helps the circulation and reduces redness," says stylist Tom Pecheux, "but it also gets any makeup to go on smoother. I promise! Seriously, every woman should take a minute in the morning and massage her face."



Bobbi Brown Extra Moisturizing Balm:

A fresh-smelling, ultra-luxe balm preferred by makeup artists such as Val Garland



Jane Iredale Cream to Powder Eyeliner in Jewel Box:

Includes four of the season's must-have colors.



Lancôme Poudre Sôleil in Bronze Riche:

Gives faces a seasonably warm glow.

This is a really cool thread! I like that the top items are really diverse, from zip-lock bags to facial massage. It seems more credible, than say a list of *ahem* a lot of new products that companies are paying magazines to peddle. (it's true, BTW.) I LOVE Zip-lock bags! So perfect for travel because they keep my stuff from leaking all over the place.

I think the Bobbie Brown Super Moisturiser looks good (i like the jar), and the cream to powder eyeliner looks a vibrant color. Kerastace is a good make as well. I use their age recharge conditioner on occasions (its quite pricey) but good for a weekly treat. As for the Loreal Glam shine, I love it!
