From celebrity makeup artists and Instagram-famous hairstylists to the whiz behind the best eco-beauty products, ELLE’s thirteenth annual celebration of influential insiders toasts the most inspiring pros in the business.
Danish makeup artist Anne Staunsager is sought after by magazines all over the world for her ability to pair fresh-looking skin with painterly colors and textures for an ultrachic, if unusual, effect. "I like to create looks that have an unexpected twist," she says. Case in point: a gilt-lined pout, which she devised by focusing pink pigment on the center of the mouth, layering it to build intensity, then drawing around the Cupid’s bow with a gold highlighter. The trick to making such daring makeup wearable, Staunsager says, is to keep the rest of the face as natural as possible. "I would always rather see real-life imperfections than have anyone look too polished."
To achieve a lit-from-within effect, Staunsager massages a lightweight oil onto models’ skin, followed by Weleda Skin Food, a rich moisturizer with a subtle sheen. She then mixes a few drops of Becca Shimmering Skin Perfector Liquid Highlighter, into foundation before application to ensure a supersheer, lustrous finish. To create the look, she prepped with lip balm (“Getting rid of dryness is crucial”), then swept on M.A.C Lipmix in Fuchsia with a brush.
