The items make-up professionals 'can't do without'
There are some tools that make up schoolpupils could not do without and it seems that professionals are no different.

The Daily Mail spoke with international make up artists Laura Mercier, Jackie Tyson and Gucci Westman about what items they consider essential.

Mercier said that her camouflage brush to apply concealer is her most vital item as it allows her to "pinpoint" areas where she wants to get more coverage.

Westman named her "amazingly soft" sponges as her essential item, while Tyson said her Shu Uemura Eyelash Curlers are very important to her as well as disposable mascara wands.

A celebrity make up artist, Westman explained to the paper: "My Routine is more about colour correcting, treating and highlighting the skin. A product that gives you an immaculate canvas is a pore minimiser."

Linda Ripoll, writing for Styleite, recently named her top professional make-up artists, heaping praise on Pat McGrath, Tom Pecheux and Gucci Westman.ADNFCR-2992-ID-19725831-ADNFCR
