Mother knows best: Pat McGrath, affectionately known as “Mother,” is one of the most influential makeup artists of our time. Her love for the fun of makeup is shown in everything she does and creates, including her covetable products that tend to sell out fast. We recommend starting with the Skin Fetish collection if you’ve never tried her products.

Chiara Cascella, founder of Milan-born beauty brand espressoh, has a refreshing beauty philosophy of simplifying makeup for those who aren’t experts — and her brand’s products do just that. With easy-to-use and affordable products like the Glassy blush, espressoh’s makeup portfolio makes people feel seen and unafraid to introduce new steps to their beauty routines.
