Kate Somerville

Kate Somerville is the brand that celebrities turn to in order to obtain a glowing, youthful and healthy complexion. Her eponymous skincare line guarantees results and Somerville herself has often spoken out about her own experiences with eczema which drove her to begin her journey with finding the most effective ways to heal skin.

Pat McGrath Labs

Pat McGrath is by far the most influential makeup artist in the world, and it's no brainer that she has her own brand of high-quality makeup. Pat McGrath Labs is a billion dollar brand and loved by makeup artists and enthusiasts alike – and we can see why!

Pat’s makeup looks have been seen coming down high fashion runways, adorning the pages of magazines as she is an artist in her truest form but her mediums include glitter lips, molten metal eyelids, and sequined makeup looks. With her newest products selling out quicker than you can blink, if you manage to get your mitts on any, it’ll be totally worth it – especially her eyeshadow palettes, lipsticks and Sublime Skin Highlighting Trio.

This curated edit wouldn’t be complete without Rihanna’s Fenty Beauty. When Riri launched her own line of makeup, she set a new standard as she introduced her foundation in 40 shades – blowing competition out of the water.
