The Exact Products Makeup Artists Use on Celebrities to Make Their Skin Glow

Every makeup artist has their own beat. They're artists, after all. That said, there's a masterful set of them who have a reputation within the industry for creating the most glowing, dewiest, mesmerising skin moments. Watching their tutorials and IG videos is deliciously addictive, and they've perfected the art of layering serums, creams, foundation, powders and mists to incandescent levels of radiance that only make their celebrity clients all the more flawless. (Not entirely fair, but we'll deal.) So who are these super gurus, and how can you achieve their looks at home? We're about to introduce you.

I stalk a litany of major makeup artists for a variety of reasons and moods, but when I need a glowy-skin fix, I look to celebrity makeup artists Nam Vo, Patrick Ta, Tobi Henney and Katie Jane Hughes. There's something so satisfying about watching these four makeup artists, in particular, dip into a pot of shimmer or gloss, and I always keep their feeds one finger-tap distance away for ethereal makeup inspiration.

Below, I'm breaking down each artist's major celeb clients, four key products they use over and over again, and some IG footage for good measure. Because, yes, their work in motion is all the more captivating. If you've ever wanted to know how to get glowy skin like a celeb, keep scrolling. You won't be disappointed.

Beauty Director

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.
