A good makeup artist's expertise goes beyond choosing the right foundation shade and devising the perfect smoky eye. By virtue of their intimate rapport with the human face, they also know a thing or two about skin care.

VIOLET GREY asked top artists like Pati Dubroff (whose loyal clients include Charlize Theron and Naomi Watts), Kate Lee (who works regularly with the likes of Keira Knightley and Sienna Miller) and Rachel Goodwin (Emma Stone's longtime collaborator) to divulge their favorite anti-aging products.

Below, formulas that target everything from fine lines and wrinkles to dryness to loss of elasticity, along with some invaluable tips on how to use them.

“Now that I’m in my 30s I’ve begun to notice expression lines on my forehead and between my brows. I’m not ready for Botox, so I’ve started using this serum. I tap a drop or two directly onto the lines to plump them out. It’s been six weeks of consistent use and I can definitely see improvement.” – AMY WEISSENBERG, MAKEUP ARTIST

“Between constant travel and this past winter of extreme weather, my skin has never been so parched. To restore luminosity and combat dryness, I do a quick exfoliation followed with a heavy coat of Sisley Express Flower Gel Mask. I let it sit for at least 10 minutes (20 to 30 if I have the time) and then gently press the remainder into my skin. I can immediately see the results: My skin appears moisturized, refreshed and has a visible glow.” — ROBIN BLACK, MAKEUP ARTIST

“Révive includes Nobel Prize-winning ingredients in their skin care, so I tend to trust them. I particularly love the Moisturizing Renewal Cream. It feels amazing and really shows results. My skin looks fresher and firmer and has a nice glow to it. — MOLLY STERN, MAKEUP ARTIST
