If we're gonna spend money on makeup, it better be on products that celebrity makeup artists swear by. It's our resolution for the rest of the year. If it doesn't work on the red carpet, it won't work for our office commutes, shopping trips, and romantic date nights.
Lucky for all of us, E! has talked to plenty of celebrity makeup artists who have a star-studded list of clients. They gave us the tea on the products that won't leave their makeup kit. And best of all? They're on sale for Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale. We're talking exclusive sets and limited-edition deals on luxury brands that are completely MUA-approved.
So, if you're looking for some new makeup products, we have plenty of recommendations down below:

MAC's Ruby Woo is a legendary shade of vivid blue-red that everyone, including celebrity makeup artists like Christian Briceno, has been obsessed with for years—and for good reason.
"Luminous Silk has always been about skin. It mimics skin. It looks like skin," celebrity makeup artist Carolina Gonzalez told E!. "The silk-like feeling. The wear. That’s why it’s been a staple in my kit for years and why it performs on the red carpet. The carpet does not lie—you see where a makeup artist is made when you see their work under those lights."
