ILLUMINATOR

A healthy glow? That’s a red carpet essential, says makeup artist Katey Denno. “I rarely send a client down a red carpet without accentuating her cheeks, bridge of nose and Cupid’s bow with one of Ilia’s illuminators,” she tells PEOPLE. “They’re packed with skin-healing properties and are totally non-toxic and super moisturizing. A little goes a long way.”
Buy It! Ilia “Cosmic Dancer Illuminator,” iliabeauty.com, $34

LIPSTICK

Denno pretty much relies on one brand when it comes to creating a bold lip look. “When you see any of my clients wearing a pop of color on their lips, eight times out of ten it’s from Bite Beauty. It’s hard to beat the intensity of color and spectrum of shades offered by this natural lip care company.”
Buy It! Bite Beauty “Luminous Crème Lipsticks,” sephora.com, $24 each

BODY OIL

Getting red carpet-ready requires prep from head to toe. To make sure her client’s arms and legs look radiant, Denno swears by Dr. Hauschka’s body oils. “It’s a 100 percent natural brand, and this product is offered in a variety of delicious scents, which are fragranced with only pure essential oils. I can’t get enough of them!”
