Makeup Artists Always Use These 15 Products on Celebs, and They're on Sale
There's nothing that kicks our beauty-loving heartbeat into overdrive like an amazing sale. Especially, when said sale involves one of our absolute favorite beauty retailers: Dermstore. It's that time of year, folks! From August 17 to 25, you can receive up to 25% site-wide on the majority of your favorite products and brands. At checkout, use the promo code CELEBRATE, and if you're part of the retailers' loyalty program, you can even earn double points on select brands while you stock up.
Oh, and that's not the only amazing news. Dermstore also just re-launched its website with a sleek new design—further enhancing its commitment to skincare education, promoting awareness about dermatologist-backed brands, and championing indie labels in the category. The retailer is truly the best one-stop-shop for everything you need in terms of skincare, makeup, and haircare.
To provide you with some shopping guidance and because we're feeling rather celebratory and excited ourselves, we combed through the retailer's sale offerings for the cult-favorite skincare and makeup products we see our favorite celebrity makeup artists use over and over again on their A-list clientele. Ahead, 15 brands (and the top-notch products!) makeup artists are absolutely obsessed with. Keep scrolling.
Celebrity Makeup Artist, Patti Dubroff
Celebrity clients: Priyanka Chopra, Margot Robbie, Tessa Thompson, Gal Gadot
Weleda

Take a quick jaunt through Dubroff's celeb- and product-studded Instagram account, and it won't take long for you to spot the beloved skin-saving elixirs from Swiss skincare brand Weleda.
111Skin
The deal: 25% off
We know for a fact (thanks to our snooping eye on IG) that Dubroff loves the brand's Celestial Black Diamond and Rose Gold Lines. Her client Priyanka Chopra has admitted major love for this brightening sheet mask, in particular.
Bioderma
The deal: 25% off
Dubroff isn't the minority here—almost every makeup artist, celebrity, and model say this cult-loved micellar water from French skincare fave Bioderma is an absolute essential for clear, beautiful skin.
Celebrity Makeup Artist, Sir John
Celebrity clients: Beyoncé, Karlie Kloss, Joan Smalls
Sol de Janeiro
The deal: 25% off
A major beauty look doesn't stop at the face—Sir John has been candid about using this exact scrub-mask hybrid from Sol de Janeiro to prep his clients' bodies pre-red carpet and awards shows.
Stila Cosmetics
The deal: 15% off
No one does glitter and shimmer better than Stila and the brand has a few cult favorites we spot time and time again in brimming makeup artist kists. These sparkling liquid eye shadows can't be beaten.
Artis
The deal: 25% off
As far as makeup tools go, we see Sir John use and post these epic brushes from Artis routinely.
Celebrity Makeup Artist, Daniel Martin
Celebrity clients: Meghan Markle, Jessica Alba, Gemma Chan
Beautyblender
The deal: 20% off
It's really more of a question of what makeup artist doesn't use (and swear by) the magical application benefits of this signature pink sponge. That said, it frequently makes an appearance on Martin's grid.
Klorane
The deal: 25% off
A makeup artist is never without an amazing makeup remover, and this soothing pick from French beauty beloved Klorane is a Martin's go-to according to our research.
Joanna Vargas
The deal: 25% off
According to Martin's praise on Instagram, this exfoliating mask from celebrity esthetician Joanna Vargas is "WONDERFUL." Spoiler: We believe him.
Celebrity Makeup Artist, Tobi Henney
Celebrity clients: Ashley Graham, Poppy Delevingne, Nina Agdal
Kevyn Aucoin
The deal: 25% off
Makeup artists across the board love and hoard all things Kevyn Aucoin (fitting, since the late makeup artist will be a forever icon in the industry), but one of the brand's recent Glass Glow launches has been a favorite in particular. We've spotted it on Henney's account in addition to other power players like Katie Jane Hughes.
Skyn Iceland
The deal: 25% off
We've never seen a makeup artist not prep their A-list clientele with a soothing, de-puffing set of eye masks pre-event. Henney has remained loyal to this holy-grail pick from Skyn Iceland, and we've seen them on plenty of other A-list vanities as well.
Caudalíe
The deal: 20% off
When it comes to the most iconic face mists, Caudalíe's Beauty Elixir is by far top of the class. Makeup artists love spritzing it on their brushes and Beautyblenders and, of course, the famous canvases they artfully prep.
Celebrity Makeup Artist, Jo Baker
Celebrity clients: Lucy Boynton, Eiza González, Yara Shahidi
Koh Gen Do
The deal: 25% off
It's unanimous—makeup artists swear by cult-loved Japanese brand Koh Gen Do, and its foundation formulas (in particular) are SO good that they've been the go-to on movie sets for years. (It's also what the lead makeup artist for award shows like the Oscars and Grammys keeps on hand for touch-ups.)
Lime Crime
The deal: 25% off
In all honesty, we don't see too many celebrity makeup artists using clean makeup formulas simply because they typically don't endure as well as their non-clean counterparts. Sad, but true. That said, Lime Crime is vegan, clean, certified cruelty-free, and well-known among the beauty set for its gorgeous, pigment-packed formulas. We've seen a smattering of products on Baker's grid, but she seems to favor the brand's palettes.
Borghese
The deal: 25% off
This Italian beauty brand might not be as well known stateside, but plenty of makeup artists keep it tucked in their back pockets. We've spotted the luxe brand's skin offerings on the primping tabletops displayed in numerous posts from Baker.

Erin has been writing a mix of beauty and wellness content for Who What Wear for over four years. Prior to that, she spent two and half years writing for Byrdie. She now calls Santa Monica home but grew up in Minnetonka, Minnesota, and studied writing, rhetoric, and communication at University of Wisconsin, La Crosse. She studied abroad in Galway, Ireland, and spent a summer in L.A. interning with the Byrdie and Who What Wear family. After graduating from UW, she spent one year in San Francisco, where she worked as a writer for Pottery Barn Kids and PBteen before moving down to L.A. to begin her career as a beauty editor. She considers her day-to-day beauty aesthetic very low-maintenance and relies on staples like clear brow serum (from Kimiko!), Lawless's Lip Plumping Mask in Cherry Vanilla, and an eyelash curler. For special occasions or days when she's taking more meetings or has an event, she'll wear anything and everything from Charlotte Tilbury (the foundations are game-changing), some shimmer on her lids (Stila and Róen do it best), and a few coats of the best mascara-type product on earth, Surratt's Noir Lash Tint.
