Who: Leslie Lopez, celebrity makeup artist
Clients: Sarah Jessica Parker, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Hudson and Uma Thurman
Product Pick: “One product that is always in my makeup equipment is Christian Dior Diorskin Airflash Spray Foundation in 400. I love it because a lot of my clients like to look sun-kissed, especially in the summer months. I use it as a bronzer and light foundation on the areas of the face that need it and cheekbones as well as the bridge of the nose. It looks great and very natural on medium beige skin tones.”

Clients: Robin Wright, Gina Rodriguez, Victoria Justice, Courtney Love, Nikki and Brie Bella and Sally Field
Product Pick: “My clientele ranges drastically in both ages and styles, but the one shared commonality among all my girls is the appreciation for textured hair. Joico Hair Shake gives the most modern workable texture while still leaving the hair touchable and healthy. As far as the dressing and styling of their hair, it gives me so much grip to create any of the modern and even classic styles that my clients require.”

Product Pick: “I love Hamadi Organics Shea Hair Cream because it's universal. I can use it for any length and texture and it can be used on wet or dry hair. The cream controls frizz and flyaways, so it's perfect for humid weather. I can use it to give hair that beach-like texture without being greasy or sticky.”

Clients: Blake Lively, Mariah Carey and Kelly Ripa

Who: Nathaniel Dezan, fashion hairstylist and makeup artist
Clients: ALDO, Parasuco Jeans, Vogue and DJ Shaydakiss
Product Pick: “The must-have for makeup this summer is the new Aqua XL Color Paints collection by Make Up For Ever . These cream eyeshadows have the perfect amount of pigment and are easy to blend on the eye. Whether it’s a natural look (with the more neutral tones) or even a more extreme look with the brighter colors — they are a must-have! On top of it, they are waterproof, so they remain on through the hot, sweaty days.”

Who: Orlando Pita, celebrity hairstylist
Clients: Naomi Campbell and Jennifer Connelly
Product Pick: “I always have Orlando Pita Play Atmos-Shield Hair Protectant Spray with me. In the summer, I swim almost every day and it guards my hair from pool chemicals. It also protects against sun damage, humidity and heat styling, so it's great for everyone at any time of year, but especially during the summer.”

Who: Nate Rosenkranz, Honey Artists editorial and celebrity hairstylist
Clients: Laura Dern, Julia Stiles, Debra Messing and Christine Evangelista
Product Pick: “John Masters Organics Green Tea & Calendula Leave-In Conditioning Mist is my favorite summer product because it helps to keep your hair healthy and frizz-free. Whether you're at the beach, pool or exercising. It adds moisture back to your hair that’s lost due to the sun, chlorine, salt water or sweat. It's also great for restoring a model’s hair after a long day of shooting — no matter what texture I was going for.”
What’s In Their Bag? 20 Top Hair & Makeup Artists Share #9
Who: Daniela Gozlan, Honey Artists makeup artist
Clients: Mariska Hargitay and Dwayne Johnson
Product Pick: “I'm extremely busy and I [often] only have five minutes maximum per day to apply makeup. The Woosh Beauty The Fold Out Face Palette in Medium Tan has everything in it (concealer, eyeshadows, powders, blush, illuminator, contour); the only thing I need is a set of brushes, mascara, lip color and maybe a bronzer like Benefit’s Hoola Matte , it's matte and therefore great for daytime and hot or humid environments. After application, I set the makeup with a set up spray like Urban Decay or Make Up For Ever .”

Who: Loui Ferry, celebrity and fashion hairstylist
Clients: Fifth Harmony, Cameron Dallas, Paris Jackson and Cage The Elephant
Product Pick: “My favorite summer hair product is Oribe's Dry Texturing Spray because it makes the hair full and capable of creating different looks in the same day. It also makes the hair seem a bit raw, which keeps it looking naturally thick and doesn’t look too stylized for a simple summer day. This product is great because the spray allows you to style your hair without it looking like you took your time to style your hair for a summer day at the beach or walk on the town. It also thickens the hair, allowing for you to have your hair styled one way during the day and minutes to style it for a night out. The product also smells great, lasts long and leaves the hair looking natural and not clumpy or doused in product.”

Who: Melissa Murdick, celebrity makeup artist
Clients: Selena Gomez and Petra Collins
Product Pick: “My favorite summer go-to product is Glossier Generation G Sheer Matte Lipstick . I always have it in my purse! It’s a beautiful shade of muted red and the formula is smooth with just the right amount of color — not as overpowering and heavy-looking as a typical lipstick. It’s great because it helps you look put-together in an instant. Sometimes I even wear it without any other makeup at all to give me a quick pick-me-up and confidence boost.”

Who: Frankie Payne, celebrity hairstylist
Clients: Eva Longoria, Kate Beckinsale and Nicole Scherzinger
Product Pick: “My favorite summer hair product is Number 4 Sugar Texturizing Spray . It’s great for transforming hair and giving that beachy texture for summer! It’s great because it smells great, doesn’t leave residue on your hand and transforms your hair with little effort. All you do is spray it on damp hair and let it dry naturally! It gives the hair that beachy/messy texture that’s ‘perfectly undone.’ It’s great for girls that don’t like to fuss, especially during the summer heat.”

Who: Anthony H. Nguyen, makeup artist
Clients: Katy Perry, Die Antwoord and Tove Lo

Who: Ermahn Ospina, celebrity and editorial makeup artist
Clients: Claire Holt, Rosario Dawson, Rachel Keller and Darby Stanchfield
Product Pick: “The Dior Bronze Self-Tanning Jelly Gradual Glow leaves the skin looking radiant while gradually adding a natural, even tan to your skin. Its amazing formula doesn't transfer on your clothes, it also has almond oil that glides on your skin, moisturizing it and leaving it looking fresh all summer long.”

Who: Matin Maulawizada, celebrity makeup artist
Clients: Claire Danes, Gal Gadot, Mandy Moore and Cynthia Nixon
Product Pick: “I love ChapStick Total Hydration Plus Tint because it's sheer with just a touch of color to give lips a beautiful, healthy finish. I use them alone for a natural look or send clients with them to touch up and freshen up their lips throughout the day.”
What’s In Their Bag? 20 Top Hair & Makeup Artists Share #16
Who: Rebecca Restrepo, global makeup artist for Elizabeth Arden
Clients: Zoey Deutch, Carrie Coon, Jessica Williams and Lucy Liu
Product Pick: “My favorite summer product is Elizabeth Arden's FourEver bronzer palette . It's my favorite because it's a palette with two shades — one is a soft brown and the other is richer, warmer brown. The light one is for sculpting the face and can be mixed with the deeper one if the woman gets more color herself because of summer. The richer shade can be used also for sculpting or for giving that all-over bronzer glow. The palette also has a blush and a highlighter. It has all you need to give a healthy, radiant glow for the summer.”

Who: Charlie Taylor, hairstylist
Clients: Jane Krakowski, Rebecca Hall and America Ferrera
Product Pick: “It's fun to play with your hair in the summer and Déshabillé by Hairstory is very versatile and easy to use. I like that it has great hold and can rock a straight blowout that isn't intimidated by heat, humidity and the frizz potential of the summer. I love the texture it creates when air-dried (or diffused if you don't have that time). It has a certain ease to it that can equally be 'Cool French Girl' or 'Rock Chick' or 'Boho Babe' depending on how you style it.”
What’s In Their Bag? 20 Top Hair & Makeup Artists Share #18
Who: Carissa Ferreri, makeup artist
Clients: Gina Rodriguez, Annette Bening and Bailee Madison
Product Pick: “I am a big fan of Glossier's Haloscope Highlighter . I love that it's skin care infused with makeup. The delivery effect is a dewy sheen that's neither dry or glittery. It's great for summer because it melts right into the skin creating a halo glow and not a cakey separation that can happen with summer humidity and powders. My favorite color is Quartz because it's flattering on every skin tone. I also love Topaz (a golden hue) for a really dark complexion!”

Who: Tina Turnbow, celebrity makeup artist
Clients: Keri Russell, Laura Prepon and Nina Garcia
Product Pick: “I always have Tata Harper’s stress or irritability treatment oil roll-on aromatherapy for my clients during the summer. I apply it to my wrist while doing makeup so my client gets to enjoy the calming effect as well.”

Who: Jessi Butterfield, celebrity makeup artist and groomer
Clients: Francesca Eastwood, Kurt Russell and Finn Jones
Product Pick: “I love to use Youth Corridor by Dr. Gerald Imber vitamin C serum and skip the moisturizer for summer. It's really powerful, moisturizing and light. Press four to six drops gently into skin and follow up with makeup for a fresh, radiant complexion.”
