The makeup brands loved by the stars

Access to the beauty routines of our favourite celebs is just one of the ways social media has helped us feel like we can live a little like them.

Years ago, we'd see photos of stars on red carpets in magazines and wonder how they got their skin so delightfully dewy. Nowadays, you can simply google their makeup artists and search the product immediately.

A lot of celebs also wax lyrical about their top products in their interviews, YouTube videos and TikToks, so we're never left wondering. Their endorsement – when they could be dropping money on any product they liked – is the only one we need to certify a product as worthy.

These are some of the brands beloved by the celebs, and their most popular products, which are much easier to find (and often more affordable) than you might have thought.

Charlotte Tilbury

British makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury launched her eponymous makeup brand a decade ago now, but it's seen a huge spike in popularity in recent years.

It's incredibly popular among makeup artists and beauty editors alike, and many celebs have been seen wearing Charlotte Tilbury or keeping it in their makeup drawers.

Blake Lively tagged the brand in an Insta Story of her makeup bag and debuted Charlotte Tilbury's newest bronzer on the red carpet at the 2022 Met Gala. While celebs like Emma Stone, Phoebe Dynevor and Rosamund Pike have been seen on Charlotte Tilbury's social media as their makeup artists elect to use the popular products.

Check out the most popular Charlotte Tilbury products below.

Giorgio Armani

Designer, but make it beauty. Many fashion houses have expanded into the realm of beauty, with Armani's success marked by the quality and accessibility of their products.

Their Luminous Silk Foundation has been championed by Kim Kardashian, whose makeup looks have been regaled worldwide. Naturally, everyone wanted to know what foundation she used, and her makeup artists were quick to report it was almost always the Luminous Silk Foundation.

Her half-sister Kendall Jenner has also said how much she loves Armani's Face Fabric Foundation. This one is almost impossible to find in stock, but you can grab their Power Fabric+ Full Coverage Liquid Foundation at both Adore Beauty and The Iconic.

DIOR

DIOR is another popular designer makeup brand. Like Armani, their products aren't cheap but they don't cost too much more than your average high-end makeup brand. If you value celeb-like skin, then $100 for a foundation you'll get a lot of use out of is a worthy investment.

Two celebs who back DIOR's foundations are Jennifer Lawrence and Meghan Markle. Lawrence has stated her preference for the DIOR Forever Skin Glow Foundation, while Markle famously wore the DIOR Backstage Face & Body Foundation for her glowy, minimal wedding day makeup.

Bobbi Brown Cosmetics is another eponymous brand created by a renowned makeup artist. Although she left her company in 2016, they've continued to see great success, and are often spotted among the makeup bags of celebrities and their makeup artists alike.

Gemma Chan revealed that the Bobbi Brown Skin Long-Wear Weightless Foundation was her favourite for daily wear, while makeup artist Jen Tioseco recently completed an Emmys look for Meghann Fahy using mainly Bobbi Brown products, including the Sheer Finish Pressed Powder and various lip products.
