What's in My Makeup Bag for Photoshoot Days (and Everyday)

12 items

Luxie Steele

I'm on camera constantly, so I've spent years figuring out what actually holds up under lights, long shoot days, and everything in between. These are the products that earn their spot every time, whether I'm keeping it simple or getting fully glam. I...

Lips (lipsticks/glosses/pencils)

Everything I reach for to finish a lip look, from the liners that shape it to the lipsticks and glosses that color it. A good lip routine isn't about owning a hundred products, it's about the handful that actually work together every time — whether t...

These are the first thing I reach for before I ever pick a lipstick. A sharp lip liner is what makes a glam look feel finished instead of just 'done' — it's a small step, but it's the difference between looking put together and looking like you tried...

MAC Lip Pencils

This is the gloss that goes on top of everything else when I want that lit-from-within finish. Universal shade means it works over any lip color underneath, which makes it the easiest step in my whole routine.

Fenty Glow Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer

The everyday gloss I reach for when I want shine without committing to color. Pairs perfectly under one of my go-to liners for a look that still feels finished.

MAC Lipglass High Shine Lip Gloss (Nude/Mauve)

This is the bold version of the same gloss, same high shine, but red enough to be the whole look on its own. My go-to when the lip needs to do the talking.

Spite Lipglass High Shine Lip Gloss - MAC

Proof that a plumping gloss doesn't have to feel sticky or overdone. This one gives a subtle fullness without the tingle other plumpers hit you with, easy enough for daily wear.

Elf Lip Plumping Gloss Mocha Twist

This is the matte that actually stays matte without pulling attention to dry patches, a warm neutral that reads polished on camera and off. It's the one I reach for when I want my lip to look done without doing the most.

Powder Kiss Hazy Matte Lipstick

Eyes

The section that turns a good look into a memorable one. Eyes are where I let the glam show up the most, whether that's a bold shadow moment for a shoot day or something simple enough for an ordinary Tuesday. These are the products that actually deli...

This is what I reach for when I want eye color that actually lasts through a full shoot day without creasing or fading by hour three. It's matte without going flat, which makes it easy to build a bold look or keep it simple depending on the day. If y...

Multisculpt Matte Liquid Colour

This is the palette that makes both a simple daytime look and a bold glam moment possible without switching products. The shades are warm and buildable, exactly what I want when I'm going from meetings to something more done-up later.

Idôle Café Crush Eyeshadow Palette in Rich Nudes

Face/Base

The base everything else is built on. If this isn't right, nothing else matters — no amount of glam liner or bold lip color makes up for a base that doesn't hold up. This is the one I trust to stay put through a full day, no matter what's on the sche...

Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15 24HR Matte Foundation + Oil Control. This is my non-negotiable base. Full coverage without feeling heavy, matte without looking flat, and it genuinely lasts the full 24 hours it promises — through content shoots, meetings, chu...

Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15 24HR Matte Foundation + Oil Control

This is the one that actually holds up under studio lighting, full coverage without settling into fine lines. If under-eye circles are your thing to fight, this is the concealer that wins.

Bye Bye Under Eye Concealer for Anti-Aging

Two shades in one stick means I can brighten and conceal in literally seconds, which matters on the mornings when time is the real luxury. This is the shortcut that still looks intentional.

The Edit Stick

Tools/Brushes

The right product only performs as well as what you apply it with. These are the tools that make everything else in this list actually work the way it's supposed to, no patchiness, no obvious lines, no wasted product sitting on the surface instead of...

171S Smooth-Edge All Over Face Brush. This is the brush that makes the Studio Fix Fluid actually look like skin instead of makeup. The angled edge gets into the spots most brushes miss, around the nose, under the eyes, near the lips, so nothing sits ...
