“A long-lasting, high-shine lip gloss can be your secret weapon, as it instantly refreshes lips. I always give Sienna Miller a tube of Lip Lustre in Ibiza Night; it creates the anti-aging illusion of fuller lips and it can be applied without a mirror.”

AlexBabsky, Lancôme ambassador

“After I do Sarah Jessica Parker’s makeup, I pack her clutch with a few Q-tips – I like the Japanese ones that have a pointed end for super-precise touch-ups. I also put some loose powder on a small powder puff so she can blot shine.”

 Mary Greenwell, makeup artist

“For The Theory of Everything London premiere, I gave Felicity Jones NARS Audacious Lipstick in Natalie. I applied it straight from the tube, without lipliner. Lipstick breathes life into your complexion and it looks great on camera.”

Sasha Brewer, session stylist

“I give Kate Beckinsale a mini-sized can of Wella Stay Firm Finishing Spray – it guarantees her hairstyle will last all night long.”

Kate Lee, makeup artist

“I always put Chanel Hydra Beauty Nourishing Lip Care in Anne Hathaway’s clutch. It can be worn under or over lipstick, and will keep her lips hydrated throughout a long awards ceremony and the after-parties that follow.”

Andrew Gallimore, makeup artist

“I make sure Cara Delevingne carries NARS Light Reflecting Pressed Powder in her bag, to help get rid of shine for that red-carpet flash photography.”
