  Highlight Skin
  
  These days, it feels like every runway look involves a good amount of moisture, shimmer or shine. To achieve your own glowy complexion on the go, pick up a highlighter stick or pot of shimmer like RMS Beauty's popular Living Luminizer and apply to cheekbones and eyelids.
  - Living Luminizer, RMS Beauty, $38
    
    Groom Brows
    
    Nothing creates a great canvas for makeup like perfectly groomed brows - you'd never catch a makeup artist without a pair of tweezers for this reason. For your own quick touch-ups, try an essentials kit with gel and a highlighter crayon too.
    
    Mini Brow Rescue Kit, Tweezerman, $25
    
    Even Skin Tone
    
    Before you delve into bronzer, BB cream or blush, mask blemishes, dark sports and discoloration with a corrective cream color palette. While makeup artists keep an entire spectrum of hues on hand, you can pick up a smaller set suited to your specfic coloration.
    
    5 Camouflage Cream Palette, Make Up For Ever, $38
    
    De-Puff Eyes
    
    There isn't enough time for makeup artists to perform intensive treatments for models in between shows but even the quickest steam, facial or mask can do wonders for the skin. Hydrate and reduce puffiness around the eyes during your own busy days with these portable eye treatment masks.
    
    Revital-Eyes Eye Masks , EmerginC, $38
    
    Blend Makeup
    
    Do-it-all tools that blend makeup for a flawless finish are a must in any makeup kit. While makeup artists use everything from cotton buds to the tips of their fingers to achieve the perfect blend, many keep edge-free sponges on hand for a softer and more precise look.
    
    Double Blenders Makeup Sponges, BeautyBlender, $29
    
    Personalize Your Space
    
    Many makeup artists have a totem or personal item that sets the mood backstage and makes the space feel like home (see: Tom Pecheux's Pascal). Whether you're traveling or not, we love the idea of making a small, stylish item - like this crystal votive - a staple in your beauty kit.
    
    Amethyst Tea Light Votive, Leif, $48
