Julia Roberts’ Makeup Artist “Will Not Do Makeup” Without This Primer

Julia Roberts is without question one of the most beautiful women in the world. With a smile that’s insured for over $43 million dollars and George Clooney as a best friend, there’s truly no one we’d rather swap places with for a day than the Notting Hill actress herself. Though the odds of that ever happening are slim, we’ve got something to tide us over in the meantime.

And what exactly is that? Specifics on her beauty routine, of course. More specifically, the exact product Julia’s makeup artist claims has totally abolished the need for any mid-event touch-ups whatsoever.

Speaking to People, Genevieve Herr (who has been Julia’s makeup artist for 25 years), detailed the line-up of products used to create the stunning and “simple” Critics Choice glam.

As a long-standing ambassador for Lancôme, it came as no surprise that all makeup used on Julia came exclusively from the luxury French cosmetics house, with special mention to the Lancôme Hypnôse 5-Color Eyeshadow Palette ($95, Adore Beauty) and the Idôle Mascara ($55, Adore Beauty) as the products behind Julia’s smokey eye.

The standout for Elizabeth was actually the Prep & Hydrate Primer ($51, Modesens).

“I will not do makeup without this primer, because it’s what keeps the makeup looking fresh the whole night,” Genevieve said. “That’s why when I give her a touch up kit for the carpet, it’s just lipstick. There is no need for her to do nothing else.”

Enriched with a whopping 14 different active ingredients, this hydrating primer seeks to illuminate, plump and smooth the skin for up to 24 hours.

Okay, we’d like to make a purchase…

It will likely come as no surprise that this primer is currently sold out on Adore Beauty, Myer and Lancôme’s own website. However, we’ve managed to track down this almost impossible to get your hands on beauty gem, here. Good luck!
