7/14Daniel Martin for Lancôme at Chris Benz
On what you wouldn’t expect in his bag:
"I use this black PS1 as my makeup kit, and I suppose the most surprising item in it is tampons! Models are always asking me for an Advil, for allergy medicine, and for a million other things so I figured it’d be good to be prepared. I grew up with three sisters! My clients call me Mama Makeup!"
On his must-have product:
"I can’t live without black eyeliner. If I were stranded on a desert island, that’s what I’d take with me. You can use it a million different ways. As a liner, of course, but also brushed onto the lashes for mascara, even as a lip color if you sheer it out a lot."
Lancôme Le Crayon Khôl, $25. lancome-usa.com
8/14Charlotte Willer for Maybelline at DKNY
On what you wouldn’t expect in her bag:

Lucas Papaw Ointment, $9. lucaspawpawointment.com

10/14Bob Recine for Phyto at VPL
On what you wouldn’t expect in his bag:
"I always keep a fork in my kit! I use it to curl hair, and that’s actually how I made a name for myself. I flatten it, curl hair around it, put the dryer on it for a few minutes, and then unwrap."
On his must-have product:
"Right now Phyto Mousse is my must-have product. It gives a beautiful wet, diamond-like finish."
Phyto Pro Intense Volume Mousse, $19. folica.com

Aveda Air Control Hairspray, $24. aveda.com
12/14Val Garland for MAC at Preen
On what you wouldn’t expect in her bag:
"The most surprising thing I have in my kit is a magnifying glass. I like to make sure the makeup I’m doing looks perfect, so that it doesn’t have to be retouched. I’m a total perfectionist and I like to check to make sure everything is blended, and that the mascara goes all the way down to the lash line."

On his must-have product:
"I don’t think there’s any such thing as a do-it-all hero product. What works for one girl won’t work for another. Everyone needs something different."
_Mason Pearson Junior Mix Hairbrush in White, $140. neimanmarcus.com

14/14Bronwen Melvin for Bumble and bumble at Creatures of the Wind
