When we heard that make-up artist to the stars, Julianne Kaye was over on a flying visit from LA we grabbed her for a chat to get all of the gossip on the beauty products that Hollywood A-listers love. Read on to find out which top five products she told us the celebs wouldn't dream of stepping onto the red carpet without...
1. "One thing you'll notice about celebrities on the red carpet is that their skin is always flawless from head to toe. Makeup doesn't always start with foundation and end with lip gloss. If you really want to shine like a celebrity, the routine starts in the shower. When you exfoliate from head to toe, you're removing the top layer of dead skin cells and exposing new skin that is smoother, healthy and radiant. I recently discovered Jemma Kidd's Show Stopper Year-Round Body Glow which hands down is my favourite pick for supple healthy skin. The formula has the perfect balance of sheen and consistency."

2. "Yves Saint Laurent Volume Effect Faux Cils is an industry leading mascara. Faux Cils has such a great creamy texture, lengthens like nothing else and comes in a variety of unique colours like #5 Burgundy which I have used on Britney Spears and Scarlett Johansson. It's not so blatantly 'Burgundy' but it does make wonder what did she do different?"

3. "Makeup is meant to be fun and can be a great way through which people express themselves. It's a shame that women have limited themselves with all these pre-conceived notions of what they can and cannot wear based on age, ethnicity and what they've been told throughout the years. I don't subscribe to any 'makeup rules' because everybody's need and wants are very different and makeup should reflect your individuality. Everyone's going bananas for NARS 2009 Summer collection right now which has some great shades that suit everyone whatever your age. Most popular is the beautiful Tonga lip liner and Belize lip gloss. I haven't been this excited over lip liner since I discovered MAC Spice pencil and Myth lipstick in the early nineties!."

4. "There's such a demand for organic products these days. Gone are the days when we would associate organic with having less quality. My favourite pick for organic is Nude skin care. The Miracle Mask is amazing. I recently did the cover of Coco Eco magazine with Elizabeth Mitchell from Lost and because she had been travelling her skin was dehydrated so I used the mask on her and she was an instant fan. I highly recommend this to anyone trying to achieve glowing skin."

5. Dior Skinflash Radiance Booster Pen is a must have. This is such a great tool to have in your arsenal, especially for its convenient size and amazing capability to freshen up your face throughout the day or night. Most of my clients have it and swear by it!
