7 Genius Beauty Organization Tips I Learned From Zoë Kravitz's Makeup Artist

"One of my favorite lip formulas right now are the Le Crayon Lèvres by Chanel. There are a lot of great colors in this line that I'm obsessed with. This one is called Nude Brun. It glides on smoothly, evenly, and the color is great to build the lip shape with."

"The Surratt Moderniste Lip Pencils are also beautiful. This one is Embrasses Moi. It's hydrating, and you can build it up as a lip color. It's also beautiful blended out on the lips for a wash of color too."

"I love the Chanel Les Beiges Healthy Glow Lip Balm. It has a nice tint to it and is great for people who don't wear a lot of makeup but just want a slight hint of color on their lips. It's also super hydrating."

"One of my favorite hybrid lipstick-glosses has to be the Rouge Coco Flash, and this color Chicness is the perfect nude that's not too warm. It looks good on its own from the tube or padded on with fingers. You could really amp it up by using a neutral lip liner underneath too. It's really pretty."

"A sheer wearable lipstick I love at the moment is the Chanel Rouge Allure Camélia. It has a really nice opaque finish that wears well throughout the day."

"Chantecaille's Lip Chic in Anais—it's a great everyday soft neutral pink tone that I think would suit a lot of people."

"These work well for a soft, stained effect on the lips, as well as high-impact color, depending on how you use it. I'll normally take a small amount on a Q-tip and softly build pigment that way. On the lips, it's great to create an ombré lip if you want more of a strong pop of color in the center fading out into a natural lip tone. For a strong pop of color, you can use it straight from the tube directly onto the lips."

"The Rouge Allure Liquid Powders are some of my favorite lip products out now. If I want to do a bold color but want the finish to be a rose-petal velvety and rich, I'll use these at the very end to pat on top. I also love to blur out a coral red like this to wear alone on a bare face."

"To save time and space, I'll cut out the lipsticks and transfer them to detachable pill containers. It's easy to see all the colors without having to open up every single lipstick cap, and they weigh nothing, so I can travel with many at a time without weighing my suitcase down."

"I really like Huda Beauty's Matte and Metal Melted Double Ended Liquid Eye Shadows. One side is a flat color that's buildable and really pigmented. The other side has a fun gel-metallic shine to it, so you can wear it alone or top it off on top of color."

"Another option I really like is the Ombré Première Laque from Chanel. This one is called Rising Sun, and it's great with just some bronzer and some mascara. Really, it's like a five-minute makeup look and adds a really nice shine to the eyes." 

"For highlighting the inner corners of the eyes, I really like these crayon sticks from Thrive Causemetics. This one is called Aurora. These are great to just pop in the tear duct and really open up the eye area."

"This is one of my favorite mascaras at the moment. It has a gel-like finish to it and it really stretches the length of your lashes, really separates, and never feels crunchy or spidery."

"My favorite drugstore mascara is this one from Nyx Professional Makeup. I always keep a lot of these on hand—they are great for your everyday basic mascara to build, lengthen, and separate. It's a great option for anyone on a budget."

"Next, onto eyeliners. These Chanel Stylo Yeux Waterproof pencils are buildable, have great color payoff, and they're easy to blend and smudge out to diffuse color on the waterline or on the eyes."

"Jillian Dempsey also makes a really good kohl liner for sooty smoky eyes when it's warmed up on the skin. I like using a pencil brush and smudging around the lash line for a slept-in look."

"My old assistant introduced me to this pen liner by TonyMoly. I love that the applicator is long yet has a really fine tip. It's perfect for creating a tight line that's invisible but opens up your eye. It's also really easy to get into the lash line by just stamping across, and it's also great to hide any adhesive on strip lashes."

"The Le Liner de Chanel is a great jet-black, inky liquid liner that's perfect for winged or graphic shapes. To me, the applicator almost feels like a calligraphy pen because of how easily it goes on and how it's easy to extend or curve or create a sharp line with precision."

"If I'm working with someone who has oily skin, I like to use this oil-free moisturizer from Kate Somerville. It's great because it's not greasy at all but it really gives you enough hydration."

"I also love this Dear Hydration Facial Mist which I actually found at the airport when I was in Seoul. It's Banila Co., a Korean company, and the mist is so fine that it's perfect for evenly coating the skin. It really feels like water. It has a little bit of a scent to it, but it's great for setting makeup or if you just need a little boost of hydration through the day to refresh."

"My go-to eye cream is the Chanel Sublimage La Crème Yeux. This one actually came with a really cool applicator that I lost, but it's really rich and hydrating. I like to use it overnight, and by the time I wake up, the area is smooth, lifted, and you look like you slept for 10 hours."

"I really love this Dilo Oil by Kate Somerville—it's very, very lightweight. It doesn't feel heavy at all. Obviously, you can use this at the end of your skin prep by pressing it in after moisturizer to lock in all the moisture. I like to use a drop of this in foundation and it creates this luminous base that gives your skin a lit-from-within look. 

"Gentle exfoliation is so important because it really allows products to penetrate deep into the skin and work better, so the Chanel Sublimage La Lotion Lumière Exfoliante is the one that I like to use. It's very gentle for everyday use and it doesn't leave your skin feeling raw or red. I get some cotton and saturate the pads until they're nice and damp, and then place them on the T-zone. I do it for about five to 10 seconds."

"I discovered these little face rollers in Japan. I really like this one in particular from Refa because it really hugs the skin really well, so it's great for any lymphatic drainage. It's great for sculpting, it's great to awaken the skin, and it feels really nice."

"My favorite acne treatment is the EradiKate by Kate Somerville. This one is great to really flatten out any stubborn or big red blemishes. What I'll usually do is sleep with this overnight, and by the time I wake up in the morning, I wash it off and it's diminished a lot in size. You dip a Q-tip in, and then you just dot it on wherever you need."

"I really love serums. This one is the new DeliKate Recovery Serum by Kate Somerville. This one is great for very sensitive skin, oily skin, and even acne-prone skin."

"If you need more moisture, Chanel's Hydra Beauty Micro Sérum is also great. This one feels gel-like and it really melts into the complexion and gives you a boost of hydration."

"Here, we have the Chanel Vitalumière Aqua. It's buildable, hydrating, and leaves a beautiful, glowy finish to the skin."

"This is Chanel Ultra Le Teint Velvet, which I love to use for red carpets or oilier skin types because it has a velvet-smooth texture."

"These are cream foundations from Kjaer Weis that I absolutely love. They blend beautifully onto the skin for a natural finish and they're also certified organic."

"And then we have Chanel Les Beiges. This is another foundation I like to use on oilier skin types. It has great coverage, but it still looks lightweight and it has SPF 25."
