"It brings back your skin without any needles!"

Behind every flawless red carpet look or Instagram selfie is a talented makeup artist. And if you are looking at the faces of Margot Robbie, Priyanka Chopra, Gwyneth Paltrow, or Rosie Huntington-Whitely, that makeup artist is Pati Dubroff, who is responsible for some of the most iconic red carpet and runway looks of the past two decades. In the past few weeks alone, she's wielded the makeup brush for Natalie Portman, Zazie Beetz, and Gigi Hadid, giving her the chance to try out all of fall's biggest beauty trends.

What are the new skincare products you are in love with right now?
"In the realm of skincare and improving skin texture, I am obsessed with these two facial massage tools from the Japanese company ReFa.

There is a light panel on the device that takes in available light and converts it into the slightest microcurrent charge without the zing.

I’m also loving the skincare moisturizers from Dr. Augustinus Bader. He’s a world-renowned German professor who has created skincare rooted in stem cell rejuvenation.
