About this episode

Renowned makeup artist Michael Brown shares insights on his pro kit and affordable beauty tricks.

When you’ve spent 25 years painting the faces of Gisele Bündchen, Miranda Kerr, and Sofia Richie, you learn a thing or two about what makeup products are worth the hype. This week on The Formula , renowned makeup artist Michael Brown joins Kelly to peel back the curtain on his iconic pro kit. Michael lets us in on why he’s moved away from heavy powders and high-end foundations in favour of "velvet blurring" and affordable chemist finds (including a $10 root touch-up trick).
