This week’s Friday Five was an easy pick. Not only is this talented beauty queen a star in the makeup community, she’s a good friend of mine! Meet Emily Oliver, a celebrity makeup artist based in Los Angeles. Emily has years of experience with makeup for award shows, editorial prints and film, and has a knack for creating the most gorgeous, effortless faces. She is often the mastermind behind many of my makeup looks, whether we’re going after daytime neutral, high-fashion or evening styles. No one can blend shadows like this woman – she adds depth, dimension and sparkle to my eyes in seconds. If you’re in the Los Angeles area and need a makeup genius, I’d recommend no one else.
I asked Emily to share her five absolute must-have products. Maybe of them she uses on me – after trying Armani Luminous Silk foundation, I’ll never use anything else.
1. Armani Luminous Silk foundation (My shade: “5.25”)
2. Clé de Peau Beauté Concealer (My shade: “Ivory”)
5. Armani Eyes to Kill Mascara & Eyes to Kill Eyeshadows
Do you use any of these products? I’d love to hear your favorites. Have a good weekend!
