Joy Adenuga's staples include a £13 moisturiser from Boots!
From red carpet glam, advertising campaigns, magazine photo shoots and bridal beauty, make-up artists have the ultimate kit envy, with every shade of every brand, matte, silk and satin finish, tried and tested. Award-winning, celebrity make-up artist and leading melanin specialist, Joy Adenuga is no exception. The pro make-up artist reveals what’s in her make-up bag and what she uses on darker skin tones.
Her celebrity clients include Michaela Coel, Jameela, Sarah Jane Crawford, Reggie Yates, and Keisha Buchannan. Furthermore, Joy’s ginormous body of work features global advertising campaigns and masterclasses for Tom Ford, Bobbi Brown and Smashbox.
"I love NARS Natural Radiant Long Wear Foundation, £35, the formula is so buildable and it gives the skin the most beautiful and seamless coverage. If I'm on a shoot, I take with me AJ Crimson Artist Kit Foundation Palette in Warm/Deep, £149 - artist kit friendly due to the size and weight when I have to work on multiple models, which is great to create anything from sheer to full coverage."
"I always use Marena Beaute Blush Tarou, £23.20, for blush and Marena Beaute Tarou Bronzer, £36 as they are beautiful on women of colour. For eyeshadows I use OPV beauty, £27, they have everything from neutral to colourful palettes that are kit friendly and well pigmented."
The products Joy can't live without!
"Embryolisse Lait Crème Concentré, £13, available from Boots it is one of the best moisturisers and a favourite among makeup artists. It alsodoubles up as a primer. On very dry skin I use it as a mask and wipe off after a few minutes.
"Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream, £28. The most multi use product in my kit. Moisturiser, lip balm, cracked heels, hair frizz tamer, hand cream you name it it can be used. This is the longest running product I've had in my make-up bag."
