I have a lot of favorite products from my time at Sephora, including the Glow Recipe watermelon niacinamide drops.Emma Freece
- After working at Sephora for four years, I've found a few beauty products that are my holy grails.
- Glow Recipe's niacinamide drops and ILIA's skin tint with SPF create a hydrated, flawless base.
As a Sephora employee, I'm used to trying new products to see which items are the best for flawless makeup.
Here are the products I swear by each time I do my makeup.

I love using a cream blush and bronzer in my routine. Emma Freece

The Makeup By Mario SoftSculpt Shaping Sticks and the Soft Pop Blush Sticks are my all-time favorite cream products.

Anastasia Beverly Hill's eye-shadow formula can't be beaten.
Everyone's preference for eye shadow is different. Amrezy Palette
My preference for eye makeup depends on how much time I have, where I'm going, and what I'm wearing, so I'll often use a powder bronzer as a quick and easy eye shadow.
But if I had to choose my favorite eye-shadow palette formula, it would be the one from Anastasia Beverly Hills. The formula of the brand's eye shadows is very pigmented and easy to blend, and there are so many different palettes with beautiful color stories for any makeup look.
If you don't have an eye-shadow primer, try using your concealer and a little bit of powder to prep the eyelids for the formula to work even better.
Hydrate your skin and set your face with this spray from Milk Makeup.
Setting your makeup can make a visible difference in the final look. Emma Freece
Finishing off your look with a setting spray will make all the difference in how your makeup wears and will help to melt any powder products into the skin to create a flawless look.
Milk Makeup's Hydro Grip Setting + Refreshing Spray is one of my favorites for hydrating the skin while making my makeup last longer.
I love this Lancôme Lash Idôle mascara to create volume without any smudging.
It's important that my mascara lengthens and doesn't clump on my lashes. Emma Freece
