Shopping for cosmetics should never be a costly case of trial and error. Although luxury cosmetics can rack up quite a bill, we don’t want you to settle for anything less than the best. That’s why we reached out to the pros to help you find the worth-the-splurge beauty products.

Below, makeup artists share their top product picks that are worth every penny.

Tom Ford Bronzer $75

Sir John, a world-renowned celebrity makeup artist, works his magic on stars like Beyoncé, Joan Smalls, Karlie Kloss, and more. He recommends Tom Ford’s bronzers for a natural-looking, sun-kissed glow — a must now that summer is officially over.

Clé de Peau The Foundation $250

If anyone can convince us to buy a $250 foundation, it’s celebrity makeup artist Carissa Ferreri. Her glow-inducing looks on Gina Rodriguez, Annette Bening, and Suki Waterhouse have us convinced that her pick for a perfect base is totally worth the splurge.

Spencer Barnes LA Neck, Chin & Jawline Sculpting Wand $89

Celeb makeup artist Spencer Barnes, who has worked with beauties including Meghan Markle, Angie Harmon, and Olivia Wilde, launched the answer to dreaded “tech neck.” This trusty little wand sculpts and contours the neck, chin, and jawline, and it’s an absolute game-changer.

Suqqu Extra Rich Glow Cream Foundation $72.28

Katrina Klein has created looks for stars like Bailey Madison, Luna Blaise, and Willa Ford (just to name a few) while assisting legendary makeup artist Kelsey Deenihan. For fresh-faced complexions with flawless coverage, she looks to the J-Beauty brand Suqqu.

Givenchy Prisme Libre Loose Powder $58

Courtney Dapper is an L.A.-based makeup artist, and even when she’s not assisting with celebrity beauty looks, she recommends this bougie buy by Givenchy for creating luminescent looks.

Lilly Lashes Luxe $20

Makeup artist Phoebe Dawson, who’s worked with celebs including Kendra Wilkinson and Holly Madison, notes that the next best thing to getting eyelash extensions is snagging a pair of the reusable mink or premium synthetic lashes made by Lily Ghalichi.

Pat McGrath Labs EYEdols Eye Shadow $25

New Orleans-based makeup artist Whitney Leigh adores all things Pat McGrath. When it’s eye-popping pigment you seek, she suggests this stunning shimmer eyeshadow.

Eyelashes would be fun to try

Dana Rowan Oct 12, 2019 at 7:02 am

The wand and foundation would be ones I would want to try.

That sculpting wand sounds awesome. Would like to have one or two of those. $240 is a little steep for foundation, but like the others, I would love to try a sample of it.

I wouldn't mind trying a sample of the $250 foundation. I'm 50! If it works than I'm in.

Dawn Oct 04, 2019 at 7:36 pm

I would love to see those recommendations in my next fab fit box..... then I can tell you if the $250 foundation is worth it.

Lisa Oct 04, 2019 at 7:07 pm

I have the Cle de Peau the Foundation and love it!

sjeannorrie Oct 04, 2019 at 7:04 pm

This is ridiculous, I promise you that a $40 foundation works the same as a $240 one. And $70 for bronzer that does the same as Physicians Formula bronzer. The celebrities can spend their money however they like, but I’m going to stick to what works for me.

Naomi Daven Oct 04, 2019 at 5:01 pm

I am so appreciative of these recommendations, but $250 for a foundation! That had better be a miracle worker!
