Adele relies on Troy Surratt for her radiant visage.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The makeup artist is a key component of any celebrity glam squad, and the names you know spend most of their time jetting around the globe to ensure their biggest clients are always camera-ready. Between movie premieres, press junkets and award shows they\u2019re likely squeezing in a fashion show or two whether in New York, London, Paris or Milan\u2014and overseeing their own cosmetic lines to boot. Here, the busiest makeup pros in the beauty business, and how to recreate their artistry from your own bathroom (or even the back of an Uber).<\/p>\n

\"PMG_MOTHERSHIP_SUBLIMINAL<\/p>\n

The makeup artist<\/strong>: Pat McGrath<\/strong>
\n<\/a>Declared fashion\u2019s most influential makeup artist by Vogue<\/em> and known for using out-of-the-box materials and mash-ups of color for her editorial and fashion-show looks (and applying them with her fingers more times than not), British-born Pat McGrath has worked with countless celebrities, models, magazines (351 covers to date) and fashion designers. After 25 years in the business and 3,000 runway shows under her belt, it was no surprise when she debuted her own line in 2015. Launching with one product called Gold 001, the first 1,000 units sold out in record time, as did all seven limited-edition follow-ups. McGrath finally launched an \u201cUnlimited\u201d collection just last month (now available at Sephora stores), and you\u2019ve probably seen it on her myriad celebrity clients, including Naomi Campbell<\/strong> (who has been called her muse), Oprah Winfrey, Jennifer Lopez<\/strong>, Jennifer Aniston<\/strong> and too many more to count.<\/p>\n

\n

\"THE<\/p>\n

The makeup artist: <\/strong>Charlotte Tilbury<\/strong>
\n<\/a>After experiencing the transformative effect of makeup first-hand as a teen jetting between Ibiza and London, Charlotte Tilbury became the makeup darling of the fashion world and catapulted to international fame. Having Kate Moss<\/strong> as a muse certainly helped, and her ongoing personal and professional relationships with Amal Clooney<\/strong>, Emma Roberts<\/strong>, Nicole Kidman<\/strong>, Helen Mirren<\/strong> and Sienna Miller<\/strong> (amongst other bold-faced beauties) ensured the launch of her eponymous cosmetic and skincare line was a hit. Always one to admit that she sleeps in her foundation and eye makeup\u2014and fresh off the Versus and Alice Temperly shows during London Fashion Week\u2014Tilbury has raised the bar for complexion perfection, and made it accessible to the masses.<\/p>\n

\n

\"surratt\"<\/p>\n

The makeup artist: <\/strong>Troy Surratt<\/strong>
\n<\/a>Known in the biz as a master of color, Troy Surratt\u2019s career began with a cold call to makeup legend, Kevyn Aucoin. An assisting gig led to stints with Tarte (Surratt conceptualized the line) and Maybelline before he launched his own line, Surratt Beauty, in October 2013. Blending French elegance with Japanese techniques and sensibility, this exquisitely crafted and well-edited collection features all the essentials necessary for a sophisticated look\u2014and the hand-calibrated eyelash curler and customizable palettes are musts for any makeup maven. Surratt has worked his magic on countless famous faces both on and off the red carpet, including Uma Thurman<\/strong>, Adele<\/strong>, LeAnn Rimes<\/strong> and Evan Rachel Wood<\/strong> (just to name a few).<\/p>\n

\n

\"NARS\"<\/p>\n

The makeup artist: <\/strong>Francois Nars<\/strong>
\n<\/a>As one of the first professional makeup artists to create their own lines, the beauty world took notice when Francois Nars launched his eponymous makeup collection in 1994. More than 20 years later, he\u2019s still as hands-on as ever, playing a role in everything from product development and naming (\u201cOrgasm,\u201d anyone?) to copywriting and photography. He\u2019s worked with the who\u2019s who of fashion (Karl Lagerfeld, Bill Blass, Versace, Valentino, et. al.), graced the pages of Vogue<\/em>, Harpers Bazaar<\/em>, Vanity Fair<\/em> and virtually every other glossy; glammed up the likes of Madonna<\/strong>, Sharon Stone<\/strong>, Michelle Pfeiffer<\/strong> and all the \u201csupers\u201d (models, that is).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

Iconic celebrity makeup artists have curated a selection of must-have products that deliver flawless results. Pat McGrath, known for her innovative techniques, often uses her own line, Pat McGrath Labs, including the Mothership Subliminal Eyeshadow Palette, to create stunning looks. Charlotte Tilbury, with a clientele that includes Amal Clooney and Nicole Kidman, swears by her Magic Cream and Airbrush Flawless Foundation for a radiant complexion. Mario Dedivanovic, famed for his work with Kim Kardashian, recommends his Master Mascara for voluminous lashes. These professionals’ go-to products are a testament to their expertise and commitment to excellence in the beauty
