Famous For: A Foolproof Cat-Eye. "Create the wing first; for a daytime look, angle it out enough so that the eye looks lifted. Then go to the inner corner and do about four short strokes over to connect. It ends up being a perfect line. Tarte (3) has an amazing marker—but unless you know calligraphy, you're not going to get it in one stroke. Primer keeps the liner from smudging. Add champagne eye shadow on the lid for day—the Modern Renaissance palette by Anastasia (1) is really versatile."

Can't Live Without: Too Faced Better Than Sex mascara (2). "I prefer a full brush because it gives more volume."

Known As: The Lipstick Whisperer. "A bright lip can enhance the whole complexion. I love a berry stain—it makes skin look blushed and healthy. I'll do one layer—Giorgio Armani Lip Maestro in 509 (1)—and concentrate it in the center of the pout, then blot and leave it. You just have to try it once to fall in love with it."

Can't Live Without: "Definitely mascara— Lancôme Hypnôse Drama (2). For an exfoliator, Lancer Polish (3) is my personal favorite. Giorgio Armani Fluid Sheers (4) are awesome to give skin that dewy look."

Loved For: Creating Photoshop-Perfect Skin. "I love a polished natural look, and I believe in makeup to get it. To make sure you don't have foundation lines, a tool like a Beauty Blender makes all the difference. I use it with a tinted moisturizer—Nars (1) makes a great one. Contour can be wonderful; I like Tom Ford's Shade and Illuminate right under the cheekbone, which is unusual but flattering. La Mer's concealer (3) is amazing—I'm over the moon for it."

Can't Live Without: "I've used Dr. Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Peels (2) for 10 years. No matter what other skin care you're using, these pads make your skin glow beautifully."

Renowned For: A Modern Smoky Eye. "Start with a primer, like Minor Sin from Urban Decay (3), which can double as a highlighter under the brow bone. Using a tapered brush, lay medium shadow on the lids up to the crease. For a bronze smoky eye, try Half Baked from Urban Decay (2). Define the crease with a shadow that's two shades darker than your skin tone. Draw liquid eyeliner along the top lash and smudge it out—I use Cocoa Lacquer from Marc Jacobs (1). We have a saying: 'When in doubt, blend it out.'"

Can't Live Without: "I use Josie Maran Argan Oil (4) for everything: hair, face, even to remove eyeliner."
