Get the A-lister glow: The beauty brands approved by the stars

When it comes to glowing skin, 55-year-old J.Lo has a longtime favourite. She reportedly swore by Dr. Hauschka Rose Day Cream for more than a decade, crediting it as a go-to for keeping her complexion hydrated, radiant and camera-ready.

“I’m a big believer in skincare and taking care of yourself because your face is your canvas. I love that Rose Cream by Dr. Hauschka – it’s natural and so hydrating,” she says.

“It makes me feel like I’m doing something good for my skin.”

Dealing with oily skin? Take a cue from Oscar-winner Lupita, 42, who swears by this velvety matte foundation. She prizes its ability to deliver full, flawless coverage while keeping shine in check.

“It feels like I have nothing on my face but everything is covered,” she explains, adding that it gives her a “natural but polished” finish that lasts all day.

If there’s one thing the Sex and the City icon is toting in her signature baguette bag, it’s this – her go-to lip product. With a cushiony formula that hydrates, adds shine and gives a subtle plump, it’s no surprise one sells every six seconds.

The 60-year-old even gave it a playful shout-out on social media in May: “Oh Tarte, what have you done?!”

The made-in-New Zealand skincare brand has won the hearts of celebrities worldwide, and it’s easy to see why. Emma Lewisham’s products strike a balance between naturally derived ingredients and scientifically proven formulations, and importantly, the skincare is pregnancy-safe.

Actresses like Margot Robbie and Naomi Watts are said to be fans of the range, and the products are even found on Goop, meaning that clean beauty advocate Gwyneth Paltrow has given them her seal of approval.

Our favourite Emma Lewisham product would have to be the Skin Reset Serum. This lightweight formulation restores radiance and works to even skin tone.

No bank-breaking here! It turns out Olivia turns to these affordable basics when it comes to taking care of her skin.

“I use the cheapest possible skincare – not because it’s cheap, but because it’s the best,” says the 41-year-old.

“Dermatologists have recommended it for years and I’ve never paid attention. I started using Cetaphil cleanser and CeraVe moisturiser. They’re gentle and simple.”

Love Nicole’s strong, full-looking locks? You’re not alone – and the actor’s secret is surprisingly down to earth. At 58, she’s said to swear by this plant-powered shampoo to help maintain the health, strength and fullness of her hair, dubbing it one of her “personal favourites”

As a successful popstar herself, it’s no surprise that Rihanna’s makeup line, Fenty Beauty, has quickly become the world’s most successful celebrity beauty line. It was created to bring inclusivity to women everywhere, so the Fenty Beauty shade range and formulas cater for traditionally harder-to-match skin tones and skin types. For all your skincare needs, Rihanna has also formulated the Fenty Skin range.

Supermodel Gigi Hadid adores her Fenty products, and other superstars such as Cardi B, Cara Delevingne and Naomi Campbell have also been snapped sporting gorgeous Fenty looks.

If we had to pick one Fenty Beauty product, it would be the Pro Filt’r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation. Lightweight yet buildable, it uses climate-adaptive technology to fight heat, sweat and shine for an oil-free finish.

For plump, pillowy lips that stay soft through winter and beyond, Demi, 62, reaches for this cult Korean balm.

“I always have it on hand and find that it nourishes my lips, keeping them soft, smooth and hydrated,” she says.

She’s a celebrity beauty artist who has painted the faces of everyone from Kate Moss to Bella Hadid, so it’s no wonder that A-listers flock to the Charlotte Tilbury makeup and skincare range.

Charlotte brings her signature glowy, supermodel-esque look to the masses through her range. Its most iconic products include the Hollywood Flawless Filter, a glowy foundation that delivers a poreless finish, and the Pillow Talk lipstick, available in various nude and pinky shades that enhance your natural lip colour while softening and conditioning.

In the ’90s, ‘eyebrow queen’ Anastasia Soare realised that there were barely any brow products on offer, not to mention the absence of Hollywood makeup artists who specialised in eyebrows. Developing a technique for shaping eyebrows according to an individual’s bone structure and natural brow shape, by 1997, Anastasia was running her own product line and salon on Beverly Hills’ Bedford Drive, garnering an impressive line-up of celebrity clients like Cindy Crawford and Jennifer Lopez.

Anastasia Beverley Hills’ bestselling product is the revolutionary Brow Whiz Eyebrow Pencil. A professional-quality tool with an ultra-fine tip for maximum precision, it’s best used for outlining or detailing brows to add natural-looking texture and mimic the appearance of a fuller brow.

When it comes to feel-good formulas, Eva’s picks are all about instant impact with minimal effort.

“I’m a Color Riche girl and those lipsticks are insanely moisturising. That’s probably why I reapply it so much because the formula just feels so good – that’s my trick.”

The 50-year-old also reaches for another of the brand’s staples: “I always have mascara in my bag. Even if I’m tired or don’t have a face on, if I just put L’Oréal Paris Telescopic Mascara on, it just brightens and my whole face changes.

Affordable, natural and endlessly multipurpose, this cult classic has earned a permanent spot in Julia’s routine.

“I put it on my hands after I wash the dishes, and wind up putting it on my elbows and feet. Before you know it, I’ve squeezed this poor little green tube into a twist,” says Julia, 57.

And she’s not the only one who’s obsessed – Drew Barrymore, 50, is a fan too: “I slather it all over my face, and I wake up and I look like I’ve had a facial… and I don’t have time to go get facials.”

Reality TV star turned makeup mogul Kylie Jenner first took the world by storm in 2015 with the release of her Kylie Lip Kits (liquid lipstick and lip liner), sparking her expansion into Kylie Cosmetics. Affordable yet high-performing, Kylie Cosmetics is loved by many for its long-wearing lip products and extensive shade range, including by her famous friends Hailey Baldwin and Sofia Richie, sister Kim Kardashian, and niece North West.

Kylie Cosmetics bestsellers include the High Gloss for a high-shine and coloured finish and the vegan Kylash Volume Mascara for achieving defined, fuller lashes.
