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.”

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.”

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!”

LIP AND CHEEK STAIN
A little hint of color completes any beauty look. And makeup pro Turnbow’s fave for a flush is by Tata Harper. “It sinks nicely into the skin and lips making it very natural but healthy looking. Tata’s products are very pure and she grows all the ingredients on her farm in Vermont.”
