Get glowing

"This is a cream textured highlighter that comes with two colours in one package. It is the only highlighter I use on cheekbones and temples to give a beautiful dewy look in HD without looking glittery or too shiny."
-Tracy Peart, makeup artist for Breakfast Television Toronto and CityLine, Citytv


Sally Hansen Natural Beauty Inspired by Carmindy Natural Highlighter in Gold Luster, $13. Carmindy.com.

Pro picks Carmindy gold highlighter

Sun smarts

"I always recommend sunscreen and I particularly like Neutrogena and La Roche-Posay."
- Dr. Howard Yanofsky, dermatologist


Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunscreen, $16. Neutrogena.

Pro picks sunscreen

Eye candy

"I always have these eyeshadows with me. The unique texture is a liquid-to-powder. Once applied on the lid, the water evaporates and the product transforms into a subtle iridescent shadow that lasts all day."
-Amélie Bruneau-Longpré, makeup artist, co-owner of La Boîte à maquillage


Ombres d'Eau, $37. Chanel.

No water required

"For the perfect model hair, I like dry shampoos. Basic ones are great but Bumble and Bumble has one to suit your hair colour."
-Justin German, hair stylist, Shagg Salon


Hair Powder, $50. Bumble and Bumble.

Pro picks hair powder

Wonder tool

"Probably the best brush on the market. It's not cheap, but you'll have it for a lifetime. I use it to create ponytails, to make loose curls look more natural and to make straight hair shine without creating static."
-Leslie-Ann Thomson, hair and makeup artist


Boar and Nylon Brush, approximately $183. Pir Cosmetics.

Pro picks hair brush
